ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE! 
DISCONNECT ALL ELECTRIC 
POWER INCLUDING REMOTE 
DISCONNECTS BEFORE 
SERVICING. Failure to 
disconnect power before 
servicing can cause severe 
personal injury or death.
 
All electrical connections must conform to: the latest 
edition of ANSI/NFPA No. 70, National Electrical Code, 
and applicable local codes. In Canada, to the Canadian 
Electrical Code, Part I CSA Standard C22.1.
Single furnace make-up air packaged units are wired 
at the factory and are ready to be connected. Multiple 
furnace make-up air units are shipped in two parts, the air 
handler section and the furnace section. After mounting 
the two sections and installing the fl exible duct connector, 
connect the free end of the fl exible conduits from the air 
handler section to the junction box on the duct furnace. 
Each wire has a distinctive marking. Connect each wire 
to its respectively marked terminal in the duct furnace 
junction box. See Figure 13A. Actual unit wiring will differ 
according to the options chosen. Each unit is shipped 
with its own wiring diagram; refer to this wiring diagram 
for all electrical connections to the unit.
All line voltage and thermostat connections are made 
in the Electrical Cabinet (See Figure 13B). Line voltage 
connections are made at the High Voltage Terminal 
Block. Thermostat connections are made at the Main 
Connection Board (See Figure 14).
Do not use any tools (i.e. screwdriver,
pliers, etc.) across terminals to check for power. Use 
of a voltmeter is recommended.
Locate the thermostat in accordance with the instructions 
supplied with the thermostat. All fi eld wiring must have 
a minimum temperature rating of 185°F (85°C). Control 
wiring shall be a minimum of 18 gauge wire size. Control 
wiring must be sized for length of run.
Locate line voltage disconnect box per local codes. If 
mounting the disconnect box to the unit, never mount 
it to a unit access panel. Possible locations include 
the front of the blower or fi lter section (See Figure 15). 
Electrical conduit must be routed so as not to interfere 
with removal of any access panel.
NOTICE: Should any original wire supplied with the unit 
have to be replaced, it must be replaced with wiring 
having a temperature rating of at least 221°F (105°C).
