1.  

Plug auto drain into 120V outlet.

2.   Set timers to desired settings. See figure 4. If drain is used for multiple units, increase timer settings as    
 needed.

3.   Use test button to check proper operation. Refer to maintenance section for proper care.

1.  

Follow all NEC and local codes for electrical wiring. Allow only authorized Polar Air service person or  

 

 

certified electrician to install electrical components.

2.   Put unit on dedicated circuit and make sure no other electrical equipment is wired into it. Failure to wire   
 

unit on independent circuit can cause circuit overload and/or imbalance in motor phasing. Install proper No  

 

Fuse Breaker (NFB) according to kW output of compressor.

3.   Ensure incoming service has adequate ampere rating.

4.   Ensure supply line has the same electrical characteristics (voltage, cycles and phase) as the electric motor.

5.   Refer to amp load information on motor tag and use correctly sized wiring. 

Be sure to consider distance  

 

between power supply and machine.

6.   Install surge protection device between power supply and compressor motor.

7.  

Make sure to install properly sized breakers and fuses.

8.   The unit must be properly grounded. 

DO NOT

 connect ground wire to air or cooling lines.

Be sure only trained and authorized personnel install and maintain this 
compressor in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local 
codes, standards and regulations. Follow all NEC (National Electric 
Code) standards especially those concerning equipment grounding 
conductors.
