Example
:
AB = 451V
BC = 460V
AC = 453V
2. Determine the average voltage in the power supply.
3. Determine the maximum deviation:
4. Determine percent of
voltage imbalance by 
using the results from 
steps 2 & 3 in the 
following equation.

Example:
1. M e a s u r e t h e l i n e
voltages of your 3-phase 
power supply where it 
enters the building and 
at a location that will 
only be dedicated to the 
unit installation. (at the 
units circuit protection 
or disconnect).
Unbalanced 3-Phase Supply Voltage
Voltage unbalance occurs when the voltages of all phases 
of a 3-phase power supply are no longer equal. This 
unbalance reduces motor effi ciency and performance. 
Some underlying causes of voltage unbalance may include: 
Lack of symmetry in transmission lines, large single-phase 
loads, and unbalanced or overloaded transformers. A 
motor should never be operated when a phase imbalance 
in supply is greater than 2%.
Perform the following steps to determine the percentage 
of voltage imbalance:
In this example, the measured line voltages were 
451, 460, and 453. The average would be 454 volts 
(451 + 460 + 453 = 1,364 / 3 = 454).
The amount of phase imbalance (1.32%) is satisfactory 
since the amount is lower than the maximum allowable 
2%. Please contact your local electric utility company if 
your voltage imbalance is more than 2%.
Example:
From the values given in step 1, the BC voltage 
(460V) is the greatest difference in value from 
the average:
460 - 454 = 6
454 - 451 = 3
454 - 453 = 1

Grounding
WARNING:
The unit cabinet must have an uninterrupted or 
unbroken electrical ground to minimize personal 
injury if an electrical fault should occur. Do not 
use gas piping as an electrical ground
!
This unit must be electrically grounded in accordance 
with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with 
the National Electrical Code (ANSI/NFPA 70) or the CSA 
C22.1 Electrical Code. Use the grounding lug provided in 
the control box for grounding the unit.
Blower Speed
The blower speed is preset at the factory for operation at 
the same speed for heating and cooling. These factory 
settings are listed in Table 5 (page 21). For optimum 
system performance and comfort, it may be necessary 
to change the factory set speed.
CAUTION:
To avoid personal injury or property damage, 
make sure the motor leads do not come into 
contact with any uninsulated metal components 
of the unit.
1. Shut off all electrical power to the unit and remove
the blower panel. Locate the orange and red wires 
terminated to the blower motor. NOTE: The orange 
wire controls cooling operation while the red wire 
controls heating operation.
2. Verify the required speed from the airfl ow data found
in Table 5. Place appropriate wire on the correct motor 
speed tap for the required airfl ow point.
Defrost Cycle Timer
The defrost cycle timer controls the time interval of the hot 
gas defrost after the defrost sensor closes. It is located 
in the lower left corner of the defrost control board on the 
low voltage side of the control box. Three interval settings 
are available: 30 minutes, 60 minutes, and 90 minutes. 
Time setting selection is dependent on the climate where 
the unit is being installed.
• Example 1: Dry climate of Southern Arizona - A 90
minute setting is recommended.
• Example 2: Moist climate of Seattle, Washington - A
30 minute setting is recommended.
To set the cycle timer, place the timing pin on the defrost 
control board to the desired time interval post. NOTE: All 
units are shipped from the factory with the default time 
setting of 30 minutes.
