IIMPORTANT WIRING NOTES - INSTALLER PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!    

Sub-circuit  fusing  or  service  disconnect  switches  are  not  shown  but  may  be  required  as  per  the  NEC  and  /  or  local  codes.                        
It is the responsibility of the installing contractor to interpret and comply with all applicable electrical codes. 

Field install an 18 GA jumper wire between terminals 3 & 4 on terminal block TB2 for continuous low speed fan operation (950 
RPM).  Fan motors will operate continuously on high speed without jumper wire installed (F31 Models Units - 1300 RPM / F35 
model units - 1450 RPM). See page 21 for optional two speed fan relay control wiring if required.  

The defrost time clock and block out relay are typically located in the system condensing unit.  All unit cooler power should 

feed from this unit.  Make sure that the heater amp draw does not exceed the defrost timer contact rating (typically 40 resistive 

amps for an 8145-20 or equivalent timer).  Also be sure the wire gauge size is adequate to carry the total amp load required.   

Factory installed jumper  — remove if using a heater contactor. 

The room thermostat and liquid line solenoid valve are shown as field installed but may be factory mounted in the unit cooler.  

Make sure the solenoid holding coil is wired for the correct control voltage (115 or 230).
