III. Chassis Operation 

9) Remote Thermostat Control

The chassis requires a simple single stage heat-cool wall thermostat.  
Each chassis comes with a terminal strip located in the electrical 
control box. All internal chassis wiring (low & high voltage) is factory 
ready for 230 Volt operation. For 208 Volt operation a single wire 
MUST BE CHANGED ON THE TRANS FORM ER.  Refer to Figure 
8 on page 9.

10) Low Ambient Protection

Each chassis is equipped with Low Ambient Protection in the form of 
a suction line thermostat. This thermostat will prevent  compressor 
operation at low suction line temperatures. Each chassis is also 
equipped with a factory in stalled bellows that will drain water from 
the base pan to prevent the fan slinger from freezing during winter 
weather.

11) Heating Defrost

  

(Heat Pump Models Only)

All Heat Pumps have a passive heating defrost system. Defrost 
occurs as needed and automatically switches to electric heat during 
defrost. When the outdoor ambient temperature drops below a 45°F 
factory setting, the chassis au to mat i cal ly switch es to electric heat. 
As outdoor ambient temperatures rise above 45°F, the chassis 
returns to the heat pump mode. The changeover temperature is user 
adjustable from approximately 32°F - 55°F. The defrost thermostat 
may also be used to lock out the compressor in an emergency 
heat situation.

7)  Chassis Final Connections

With the chassis in place, you are now ready to begin chassis 

connections:

A.  Move the thermostat switches to "OFF" and "AUTO."  This 

will keep the ther mo stat from cy cling the chassis until fi nal 
connections are com plete.

B.  Connect the ductwork onto the 10" collar.  Plas tic wireties (fi eld 

sup plied) are suggested to se cure the ductwork in place.  Use 
2 wire ties, one for each inner and outer fl ex duct sleeve.

D.  For 208 Volt pow er only:  you must move the trans form er wire 

as shown in Fig ure 8, Page 9.

E.  Review the Fi nal Installation Check list  on  Page  12  before 

re plac ing the pow er quick dis con nect,  reconnecting power 
to the chassis, plug ging in the re mote ther mo stat har ness, or 
op er at ing the chassis.

Electrical shock and moving parts hazard can cause injury 
or death. If you have not done so, pull out the disconnect 
head found on the front of chas sis before continuing instal-
lation! Disconnect  external power at the breaker.
