MAKE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

WARNING:

To avoid personal injury or death, do not

supply power to unit with compressor terminal box cover
removed.

Be sure field wiring complies with local and national fire, safety,
and electrical codes, and voltage to system is within limits shown
on unit rating plate. Contact local power company for correction of
improper voltage. See unit rating plate for recommended circuit
protection device.

NOTE:

Operation of unit on improper line voltage constitutes

abuse and could affect unit reliability. See unit rating plate. Do not
install unit in system where voltage or phase imbalance (3 phase)
may fluctuate above or below permissible limits.

NOTE:

Use copper wire only between disconnect switch and

unit.

NOTE:

Install branch circuit disconnect of adequate size per

NEC to handle unit starting current. Locate disconnect within sight
from and readily accessible from unit, per Section 440-14 of NEC.

Route Ground and Power Wires

Remove access panel to gain access to unit wiring. Extend wires
from disconnect through power wiring hole provided and into unit
control box.

WARNING:

The unit cabinet must have an uninter-

rupted or unbroken ground to minimize personal injury if
an electrical fault should occur. The ground may consist
of electrical wire or metal conduit when installed in
accordance with existing electrical codes. Failure to
follow this warning can result in an electric shock, fire, or
death.

Connect Ground and Power Wires

Connect ground wire to ground connection in control box for
safety. Connect power wiring to contactor as shown in Fig. 7.

Connect Control Wiring

Route 24v control wires through control wiring grommet and
connect leads to control wiring. (See Fig. 8 and 9.)

Use No. 18 AWG color-coded, insulated (35°C minimum) wire. If
thermostat is located more than 100 ft from unit, as measured
along the control voltage wires, use No. 16 AWG color-coded wire
to avoid excessive voltage drop.

All wiring must be NEC Class 1 and must be separated from
incoming power leads.

Use furnace transformer, fan coil transformer, or accessory trans-
former for control power, 24v/40va minimum.

NOTE:

Use of available 24v accessories may exceed the mini-

mum 40va power requirement. Determine total transformer load-
ing and increase the transformer capacity or split the load with an
accessory transformer as required.

Final Wiring Check

IMPORTANT:

Check factory wiring and wire connections to

ensure terminations are secured properly. Check wire routing to
ensure wires are not in contact with tubing, sheet metal, etc.

COMPRESSOR CRANKCASE HEATER

When equipped with a crankcase heater, furnish power to heater a
minimum of 24 hr before starting unit. To furnish power to heater
only, set thermostat to OFF and close electrical disconnect to
outdoor unit. A crankcase heater is required if refrigerant tubing is
longer than 50 ft.

START-UP

CAUTION:

To prevent compressor damage or personal

injury, observe the following:
•Do not overcharge system with refrigerant.
•Do not operate unit in a vacuum or at negative pressure.
•Do not disable low-pressure switch.
In scroll compressor applications:
•Dome temperatures may be hot.
