Power Supply and Wiring —

Check the unit data

plate to ensure that available power supply matches electrical
characteristics of the unit. Provide a disconnect switch of size
required to provide adequate fan motor starting current. See
Tables 4-6 for unit electrical data.

Install disconnect switch and power wiring in accordance

with all applicable local codes. See Fig. 15-17 and the unit
label diagram. For units with motor sizes less than 5 Hp
(3.7 kW), connect power wiring to unit with no. 10 ring termi-
nal. For units with motor sizes of 5 Hp (3.7 kW) or more, con-
nect power wiring with

-in. ring terminal.

The 40RM, 40RMQ and 40RMS size 007-016 units (except

40RM016 with YC or WD option) that have motors wired for

460-v, 3-ph, 60 Hz operation can be field-converted to
208/230-v, 3-ph, 60 Hz operation. Rewire the motor according
to the diagram plate on the motor. After reconfiguring the mo-
tor, mark the motor specifying 208-v or 230-v operation replac-
ing the 460-v sticker information on the units’ corner post.

Fan motors are factory-installed on all units. Indoor-fan

contactors are located in the fan contactor box behind the side
access panel (see Fig. 15 and 16). Wire the thermostat to the
24-v control circuit terminal block located in the side of the fan
contactor control box, according to Fig. 17 or the unit label
diagram. If the air handler is part of a split system, complete the
wiring from the condensing unit to the thermostat shown in
Fig. 17.
