Electrical Grounding
When installed, the furnace 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 Canadian Electrical Code,
CSA22.1, latest edition. Use a copper wire from green
ground wire on the furnace to a grounded connection
in the service panel or a properly driven and electrically
grounded ground rod. See Table 1 for proper ground
wire size.
Field-Installed Equipment
Wiring to be done in the field between the furnace
and devices not attached to the furnace, or between
separate devises which are field installed and located,
shall conform with the temperature limitation for
Type T wire {63° F rise (36° C)} when installed in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Installation of Flexible Conduit Through Return Air
Opening
NOTE: To allow proper clearance between the control
panel and any vent options, 90° conduit
fittings must be used on the back of the
control panel.
Installing Conduit (See Figure 10)
1. Remove conduit access panel if required to gain
access to area behind control panel.
2. Remove low voltage and high voltage knockouts
located in rear of control panel.
3. Run low voltage conduit through 7/8 bushing
located in conduit entrance plate and secure to low
voltage opening in rear of control panel.
4. Run high voltage conduit through 1-3/4 bushing
located in conduit entrance plate and secure to
high voltage opening in rear of control panel.
5. Replace conduit access panel if required to
complete installation.
6. Seal around conduit in conduit entrance plate.
WARNING
Failure to provide a proper electrical ground
could result in electric shock or fire.
15. WIRING – MAIN POWER
Refer to unit rating plate for wire sizing information and
maximum fuse or circuit breaker size. Each outdoor
unit is marked with a “Minimum Circuit Ampacity”.
This means that the field wiring used must be sized to
carry that amount of current. All models are suitable
only for connection with copper wire. Each unit and/or
wiring diagram will be marked “
Use Copper Conductors
Only ”. These instructions must be adhered to. Refer
to the National Electrical Code (NEC) for complete
current carrying capacity data on the various insulation
grades of wiring material. All wiring must conform to
NEC and all local codes.
The electrical data lists fuse and wire sizes (75° C
copper) for all models.
The unit rating plate lists a “Maximum Time Delay
Relay Fuse” or circuit breaker that is to be used with
the equipment. The correct size must be used for
proper circuit protection and also to assure that there
will be no nuisance tripping due to the momentary high
starting current of the compressor motor.
The disconnect access door on this unit may be locked
to prevent unauthorized access to the disconnect. To
convert for the locking capability, bend the tab located
in the bottom left hand corner of the disconnect
opening under the disconnect access panel straight
out. This tab will now line up with the slot in the door.
When shut, a padlock may be placed through the hole
in the tab preventing entry.
See “Start Up” section for important information on
three phase scroll compressor start ups.
WARNING
For personal safety, turn off electric power
at service entrance panel before making any
electrical connections. Failure to do so could
result in electric shock or fire.
WARNING
Failure to provide an electrical power supply
shut off means could result in electric shock or
fire.
