Low voltage control wiring should not be run in conduit
with power wiring unless Class 1 wire of proper voltage
rating is used. Route the thermostat cable or equivalent
single leads of No. 18 AWG colored wire from the
thermostat subbase terminals through the rubber
grommet on the unit. See Unit Clearance Drawings for
the control entry (24V Entry) location. Make
connections as shown on the wiring diagrams.
Do not short thermostat wires since this will damage
the control transformer.
Refer to the table below for recommended wire sizes
and lengths for installing the unit thermostat. The total
resistance of these low voltage wires must not exceed
one (1) ohm. Any resistance in excess of 1 ohm may
cause the control to malfunction because of the
excessive voltage drop.

ntt:: Upon completion of wiring, check all
electrical connections, including factory
wiring within the unit, and make sure all
connections are tight. Replace and secure
all electrical box covers and access panels
before leaving the unit or turning on the
power to the unit.

description of the cooling operating sequence.
To start the unit in the cooling mode, set the comfort
control to C

L and to a setting below room
temperature. The condenser fan motor, compressor
and evaporator fan motor will operate automatically.
Continuous fan mode during Cooling operation may
not be appropriate in humid climates. If the indoor air
exceeds 60% relative humidity or simply feels
uncomfortably humid, it is recommended that the fan
only be used in the A

After the unit has operated in the cooling mode for a
short period of time, install pressure gauges on the
gauge ports of the discharge and suction line valves
(behind the Compressor access panel). Check the
suction and discharge pressures and compare them to
the normal operating pressures provided in the unit’s
SERVICE FACTS.

refrigerant charge. The correct charge is shown
on the unit nameplate. To charge the system
accurately, weigh in the charge according to the
unit nameplate and check subcooling against the
Subcooling Charging Table in the SERVICE
FACTS.

With the compressor operating, check the line voltage
at the unit (contactor is located behind the Control
access panel). The voltage should be within the range
shown on the unit nameplate. If low voltage is
encountered, check the size and length of the supply
line from the main disconnect to the unit. The line may
be undersized for the length of the run.
