Convenience Outlets —
ELECTRICAL OPERATION HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury or death.
Units with convenience outlet circuits may use
multiple disconnects. Check convenience outlet for
power status before opening unit for service. Locate
its disconnect switch, if appropriate, and open it.
Tag-out this switch, if necessary.

WARNING
Two types of convenience outlets are offered on 38AU
models: Non-powered and unit-powered. Both types
provide a 125-volt GFCI (ground-fault circuit-interrupter)
duplex receptacle rated at 15-A behind a hinged
waterproof access cover, located on the end panel of the
unit. See Fig. 13.
Non-powered type: This type requires the field
installation of a general-purpose 125-volt 15-A circuit
powered from a source elsewhere in the building. Observe
national and local codes when selecting wire size, fuse or
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. 13.

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
the unit-mounted non-fused disconnect switch; this will
provide service power to the unit when the unit disconnect
switch is open. Other connection methods will result in the
convenience outlet circuit being de-energized when the unit
disconnect is open. See Fig. 14.
