G. FINAL TUBING CHECK
IMPORTANT: Check to be certain factory tubing on both indoor
and outdoor unit has not shifted during shipment. Ensure tubes are
not rubbing against each other or any sheet metal. Pay close
attention to feeder tubes, making sure wire ties on feeder tubes are
secure and tight.
VII. MAKE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, do not
supply power to unit with compressor terminal box cover
removed.
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.
A. 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. Size wires per NEC but not smaller than minimum
wire size shown in Product Data Sheet.
WARNING: The unit cabinet must have as uninter-
rupted 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. Failure to
follow this warning can result in an electric shock, fire, or
death.
B. CONNECT GROUND AND POWER WIRES
Connect ground wire to ground connection in control box for
safety. Connect power wiring to leads provided as shown in Fig.
10.
C. CONNECT CONTROL WIRING
Route 24v control wires through control wiring grommet and
connect to leads provided in control box. (See Fig. 11.)
Use No. 18 AWG color-coded, insulated (35°C minimum) wire. If
thermostat is located more than 100 ft 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.
The outdoor unit requires a minimum of 27va, 24vac control
power.
IMPORTANT: Check factory wiring and wire connections to
ensure terminations are secured properly. Check wire routing to
ensure wires are not in contact with tubing, sheet metal, etc.
