ELECTRICAL DATA

Be sure that your outlet matches the appropriate
blade configuration of the supplied plug and that it is
within reach of the service cord. A hardwire kit is
available as an accessory to change cord-connected
units to hardwired units. (See Accessories table on
page 15.)

ALL UNITS

WIRE SIZE — Use recommended wire size given in

Table 1 and install a single branch circuit. All wiring
must comply with local and national codes. All units
are designed to operate off single branch cir-
cuits only
.

NOTE: Use copper conductors only.

GROUNDING — For safety and protection, the

unit is grounded through the service cord plug or
through separate ground wire provided on hardwired
units. Be sure that the branch circuit or general pur-
pose outlet is grounded.

VOLTAGE SUPPLY

Check voltage supply at outlet. For satisfactory
results, the voltage range must always be within the
ranges found on the data information plate
(shown in Figure 1).

CORD-CONNECTED UNITS — The 250-v field-

supplied outlet must match the plug for the standard
208/230-v units and be within reach of the service
cord. The standard cord-connected 265-v units require
an accessory electrical subbase for operation. See
Accessories table, page 15, for subbase selection. Refer
to Table 2 for proper receptacle and fuse type.

POWER CORD PROTECTION — The power cord

for the 230/208-v unit provides both personal shock
protection and power cord fire prevention. Unit power
automatically disconnects when unsafe conditions are
detected. Power to the unit can be restored by pressing
the RESET button on plug head.
Upon completion of unit installation for 230/208-v
models, an operational check should be performed
using the TEST/RESET buttons on the plug head. See
Figure 5.
NOTE: The 265-v models do not incorporate this
feature as they require use of the electrical subbase
accessory.

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

DO NOT alter cord or plug, and DO NOT use an
extension cord. Personal injury or damage to the
unit may result.

IMPORTANT: All standard cord-connected 265-v
units will require a field-installed electrical sub-
base accessory.
