Table 1

•  Provide power supply for the unit in accordance with the 

unit wiring diagram, and the unit rating plate. Connect 

the line-voltage leads to the terminals on the contactor 

inside the control compartment.

•  Use only copper wire for the line voltage power supply 

to this unit as listed in 

Table 1

. Use proper code agency 

listed conduit and a conduit connector for connecting 

the supply wires to the unit. Use of rain tight conduit is 

recommended.

•  208/230 Volt units are shipped from the factory wired 

for 230 volt operation. For 208V operation, remove the 

lead from the transformer terminal marked 240V and 

connect it to the terminal marked 208V.

•  Optional equipment requiring connection to the power 

or control circuits must be wired in strict accordance of 

the NEC (ANSI/NFPA 70), applicable local codes, and 

the instructions provided with the equipment.

grounding

 Warning:

the unit cabinet must have an uninterrupted or 

unbroken electrical ground to minimize personal 

injury if an electrical fault should occur. do not 

use gas piping as an electrical ground!

This unit must be electrically grounded in accordance 

with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with 

the National Electrical Code (ANSI/NFPA 70) or the CSA 

C22.1 Electrical Code. Use the grounding lug provided 

in the control box for grounding the unit.

coreSense

 diagnostics module

(Select models only)

The CoreSense

TM

 Diagnostics Module (

Figure 2

) is a 

breakthrough innovation for troubleshooting heat pump 

and air conditioning system failures. The module installs 

easily in the electrical box of the outdoor unit near the 

compressor contactor.By using the compressor as 

a sensor, CoreSense Diagnostics helps the service 

technician more accurately troubleshoot system and 

compressor fault conditions.
A flashing LED indicator communicates the ALERT code 

and a diagnostic key is also imprinted on the side of the 

module to quickly direct the technician to the root cause 

of a problem.

 

Alert identification codes are also listed in 

Table 3, (page 13)

.

Compressor Protection

The CoreSense

TM

 Diagnostics module utilizes proprietary 

algorithms to protect the compressor and system from 

repeated trips of system pressure controls and the 

compressor internal overload. The protection terminal 

of the module should be wired in series with the system 

low pressure and high pressure cutouts, as well as the 

compressor contactor. When the module detects a series 

of trips as described below, it will activate a lockout feature 

that opens the normally closed protection contacts in 

the module, thereby cutting power to the contactor and 

shutting off the compressor.

Resetting Alert Codes

When the CoreSense

TM

 Diagnostics module has detected a 

series of adverse conditions that have caused it to lockout 

the compressor, and after the issue has been resolved, 

it is necessary to manually reset the module in order to 

clear the present alert code.
The primary way of clearing the code and resetting the 

alert is to press the reset button located on the module. 

note:

 Pressing the reset will require a pin or a mini 

electronics screwdriver. This button must be pressed and 

held for a minimum of one second for the module to be 

reset. Pressing the reset button clears the immediate lock 

code and the seven day operating history. It will not clear 

the permanent module history. In the case of the three-

wire module, the codes can be reset or cleared by cycling 

power to the module. This can be done by disengaging 

the Common (C) terminal. This will not clear the seven 

day operating history.
