F. Electrical Connection
WARNING
Icemaker
• Do not connect the icemaker to an external power source. Icemaker power supply
and ground connection are supplied from the remote condensing unit via the wire
bundle provided with the remote condensing unit.
• Wire bundle routing (conduit) and disconnect (if required) must meet national, state,
and local electrical code requirements. If fabricating a wire bundle, use wire of an
appropriate gage and outdoor rating. Failure to meet these code requirements could
result in death, electric shock, serious injury, fire, or damage.
•
THE ICEMAKER MUST BE GROUNDED.
Failure to properly ground the icemaker
could result in death or serious injury.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not connect the remote condensing unit
power supply until after all wire bundle connections have been made.
Remote Condensing Unit
• Remote condensing unit electrical connection must be hard-wired and must meet
national, state, and local electrical code requirements. Failure to meet these code
requirements could result in death, electric shock, serious injury, fire, or damage.
• The remote condensing unit requires an independent power supply of proper
capacity. See the nameplate for electrical specifications. Failure to use an
independent power supply of proper capacity can result in a tripped breaker,
blown fuse, damage to existing wiring, or component failure. This could lead to
heat generation or fire.
•
THE REMOTE CONDENSING UNIT MUST BE GROUNDED.
Failure to properly
ground the remote condensing unit could result in death or serious injury.
• Remote condensing unit electrical connection must be made in accordance with
the instructions on the "WARNING" tag provided with the pig tail leads in the
remote condensing unit's power supply junction box. See Fig. 10.
NOTICE
The remote condensing unit must have power for a minimum of 4 hours prior to
startup to prevent compressor damage.
• Usually an electrical permit and services of a licensed electrician are required.
• The maximum allowable voltage variation is ±10 percent of the nameplate rating.
• The openings for the power supply and wire bundle connections are 7/8" DIA to fit a
1/2" trade size conduit.
