Make Electrical Connections

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 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

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury or

death.
The unit cabinet must have an uninterrupted 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.

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. 5.

Connect Control Wiring

Route 24--v control wires through control wiring grommet and
connect leads to control wiring (See Fig. 7). Refer to Installation

Instructions packaged with thermostat.
Use No. 18 AWG color--coded, insulated (35_C minimum) wire. If
thermostat is located more than 100 ft. (30.48 m) 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

transformer for control power, 24v/40va minimum.
NOTE:

Use of available 24v accessories may exceed the

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

Final Wiring Check

IMPORTANT: Check factory wiring and field 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

80 ft. (24.38 m). Refer to the Residential Piping and Longline
Guideline and Service Manual Longline Section--Residential

Split--System Air Conditioners and Heat Pumps.

Install Electrical Accessories

Refer to the individual instructions packaged with kits or
accessories when installing.

Start--Up

CAUTION

!

UNIT OPERATION AND SAFETY HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in personal injury,

equipment damage or improper operation.
S

Do not overcharge system with refrigerant.

S

Do not operate unit in a vacuum or at negative pressure.

S

Compressor dome temperatures may be hot.

CAUTION

!

PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in personal injury.
Wear safety glasses, protective clothing, and gloves when

handling refrigerant and observe the following:
S

Front seating service valves are equipped with Schrader

valves.

Follow these steps to properly start up system:

1. After system is evacuated, fully open liquid and vapor ser-

vice valves.

2. Unit is shipped with valve stem(s) front seated (closed) and

caps installed. Replace stem caps after system is opened to
refrigerant flow. Replace caps finger--tight and tighten with

wrench an additional 1/12 turn.

3. Close electrical disconnects to energize system.
4. Set room thermostat at desired temperature. Be sure set

point is below indoor ambient temperature.

5. Set room thermostat to COOL and fan control to ON or

AUTO mode, as desired. Operate unit for 15 minutes.
Check system refrigerant charge.
