3. Secure power cord to J-Box bracket with a strain relief bushing or a
connector approved for the type of cord used.
4. Pull furnace power wires through 1/2-in. (12 mm) diameter hole in
J-Box. If necessary, loosen power wires from strain—relief wire-tie
on furnace wiring harness.
5. Connect field ground wire and factory ground wire to green ground
screw on J-Box mounting bracket, see
.
6. Connect power cord power and neutral leads to furnace power
leads, see
.
7. Attach furnace J-Box cover to mounting bracket with screws
supplied in loose parts bag. Do not pinch wires between cover and
.
BX Cable Installation in Furnace J-Box
1. Install J-Box mounting bracket to inside of furnace casing, see
.
2. Route BX connector through 7/8-in. (22 mm) diameter hole in
casing and J-Box bracket.
3. Secure BX cable to J-Box bracket with connectors approved for the
type of cable used.
4. Connect field ground wire and factory ground wire to green ground
screw on J-Box mounting bracket, see
.
5. Connect field power and neutral leads to furnace power leads, see
.
6. Attach furnace J-Box cover to mounting bracket with screws
supplied in loose parts bag. Do not pinch wires between cover and
bracket.
24-V Wiring
Make field 24-v connections at the 24-v terminal strip, see
.
Connect terminal Y/Y2, see
, for proper cooling operation. Use
only AWG No. 18, color-coded, copper thermostat wire.
NOTE:
Use AWG No. 18 color-coded copper thermostat wire for
lengths up to 100 ft. (31 M). For wire lengths over 100 ft., use AWG No.
16 wire.
The 24-v circuit contains an automotive-type, 3-amp. fuse located on the
control. Any direct shorts during installation, service, or maintenance
could cause this fuse to blow. If fuse replacement is required, use ONLY
a 3-amp. fuse of identical size, see
.
Thermostats
A single stage heating and cooling thermostat can be used with the
furnace. The furnace control board CPU will control the outdoor unit
staging. A 2-stage thermostat can also be used to control the two-stage
cooling. For 2-stage thermostat control of a 2-stage outdoor unit, remove
the ACRDJ jumper from the furnace control board. Refer to typical
thermostat wiring diagrams and the Sequence of Operation section for
additional details. Consult the thermostat installation instructions for
specific information about configuring the thermostat. , see

ACCESSORIES
1. Electronic Air Cleaner (EAC)
Connect an accessory Electronic Air Cleaner (if used) using 1/4-in.
female quick connect terminals to the two male 1/4-in.
quick-connect terminals on the control board marked EAC-1 and
EAC-2. The terminals are rated for 115VAC, 1.0 amps maximum
and are energized during blower motor operation.
2. Humidifier (HUM)
The HUM terminal is a 24 VAC output, energized when the blower
is operating during a call for heat. Connect an accessory 24 VAC,
0.5 amp. maximum humidifier (if used) to the 1/4-in. male
quick-connect HUM terminal and COM-24V screw terminal on the
control board thermostat strip.
NOTE: : If the humidifier has its own 24 VAC power supply, an
isolation relay may be required. Connect the 24 VAC coil of the
isolation relay to the HUM and COM/24V screw terminal on the
control board thermostat strip, see
3. Communication Connector (communication connection) This
connection is used when the furnace is controlled by an optional
communicating User Interface instead of a standard thermostat. The
communication plug is supplied with the User Interface. Refer to
the instructions supplied with the User Interface for complete
.
4. Outside Air Thermistor (OAT)
The OAT connection is used in conjunction with communicating
User Interface. It is not required when the furnace is controlled by a
standard type thermostat. Refer to the instructions supplied with the
User Interface for complete details.
Alternate Power Supplies
This furnace is designed to operate on utility generated power which has
a smooth sinusoidal waveform. If the furnace is to be operated on a
generator or other alternate power supply, the alternate power supply
must produce a smooth sinusoidal waveform for compatibility with the
furnace electronics. The alternate power supply must generate the same
voltage, phase, and frequency (Hz) (
) or the furnace rating plate.
Power from an alternate power supply that
is non-sinusoidal may
damage the furnace electronics
or cause erratic operation.
Contact the alternate power supply manufacturer for specifications and
details.
WARNING
!
FIRE, EXPLOSION, ELECTRICAL SHOCK, AND
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in dangerous operation,
personal injury, death, or property damage.
Do not drill into blower shelf of furnace to route control wiring. Route
any control or accessory wiring to the blower compartment through
external knockouts on the casing.
