Installing Weatherproof Cover
A weatherproof while-in-use cover for the factory-installed
convenience outlets is now required by UL standards. This
cover cannot be factory-mounted due its depth; it must be
installed at unit installation. For shipment, the convenience
outlet is covered with a blank cover plate.
The weatherproof cover kit is shipped in the unit’s control
box. The kit includes the hinged cover, a backing plate and
gasket.
1. Remove the blank cover plate at the convenience
outlet; discard the blank cover.
2. Loosen the two screws at the GFCI duplex outlet,
until approximately
1/2
-in. (13 mm) under screw
heads is exposed. Press the gasket over the screw
heads.
3. Slip the backing plate over the screw heads at the
keyhole slots and align with the gasket; tighten the
two screws until snug (do not over-tighten).
4. Mount the weatherproof cover to the backing plate as
shown in Fig. 23.
5. Remove two slot fillers in the bottom of the cover to
permit service tool cords to exit the cover.
6. Check for full closing and latching.

Non-Powered Convenience Outlet
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 select
-
ing wire size, fuse or breaker requirements and disconnect
switch size and location. Route 125-v power supply conduc
-
tors into the bottom of the utility box containing the duplex
receptacle.
Unit-Powered Convenience Outlet
A unit-mounted transformer is factory-installed to step down
the main power supply voltage to the unit to 115-v at the du
-
plex 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. 21.
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 pri
-
mary leads can be connected at the line-side terminals on
the unit-mounted non-fused disconnect switch; this will pro
-
vide 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 switch is open. See Fig. 24.
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 un
-
til 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.
Fuse On Power Type
The factory fuse is a Bussman “Fusetron”
1
T-15, non-
renewable screw-in (Edison base) type plug fuse.
Test the GFCI receptacle by pressing the TEST button on
the face 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.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL OPERATION HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury or death.
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.
