breaker requirements and disconnect switch size and

location. Route 125--v power supply conductors into the

bottom of the utility box containing the duplex receptacle.

Unit--powered type: A unit--mounted transformer is

factory--installed to stepdown the main power supply

voltage to the unit to 115--v at the duplex receptacle. This

option also includes a manual switch with fuse, located in

a utility box and mounted on a bracket behind the

convenience outlet; access is through the unit’s control

box access panel. See Fig. 14.

The primary leads to the convenience outlet transformer

are not factory--connected. Selection of primary power

source is a customer--option. If local codes permit, the

transformer primary leads can be connected at the

line--side terminals on a unit--mounted non--fused

disconnect or HACR breaker switch; this will provide

service power to the unit when the unit disconnect switch

or HACR switch is open. Other connection methods will

result in the convenience outlet circuit being de--energized

when the unit disconnect or HACR switch is open. See

Fig. 15.

Duty Cycle: The unit--powered convenience outlet has a

duty cycle limitation. The transformer is intended to

provide power on an intermittent basis for service tools,

lamps, etc; it is not intended to provide 15--amps loading

for continuous duty loads (such as electric heaters for

overnight use). Observe a 50% limit on circuit loading

above 8--amps (i.e., limit loads exceeding 8--amps to 30

minutes of operation every hour).

Maintenance: Periodically test the GFCI receptacle by

pressing the TEST button on the face of the receptacle.

This should cause the internal circuit of the receptacle to

trip and open the receptacle. Check for proper grounding

wires and power line phasing if the GFCI receptacle does

not trip as required. Press the RESET button to clear the

tripped condition.

Fuse on powered type: The factory fuse is a Bussman

“Fusetron” T--15, non--renewable screw--in (Edison base)

type plug fuse.

Using unit--mounted convenience outlets: Units with

unit--mounted convenience outlet circuits will often

require that two disconnects be opened to de--energize all

power to the unit. Treat all units as electrically energized

until the convenience outlet power is also checked and

de--energization is confirmed. Observe National Electrical

Code Article 210, Branch Circuits, for use of convenience

outlets.

SMOKE DETECTORS

Smoke detectors are available as factory--installed options

on 48TC models. Smoke detectors may be specified for

Supply Air only or for Return Air without or with

economizer or in combination of Supply Air and Return

Air. Return Air smoke detectors are arranged for vertical

return configurations only. All components necessary for

operation are factory--provided and mounted. The unit is

factory--configured

for immediate

smoke

detector

shutdown operation; additional wiring or modifications to

unit terminal board may be necessary to complete the unit

and smoke detector configuration to meet project

requirements.

System

The smoke detector system consists of a four--wire

controller and one or two sensors. Its primary function is

to shut down the rooftop unit in order to prevent smoke

from circulating throughout the building. It is not to be

used as a life saving device.

Controller

The controller (see Fig. 16) includes a controller housing,

a printed circuit board, and a clear plastic cover. The

controller can be connected to one or two compatible duct

smoke sensors. The clear plastic cover is secured to the

housing with a single captive screw for easy access to the

wiring terminals. The controller has three LEDs (for

Power, Trouble and Alarm) and a manual test/reset button

(on the cover face).
