RT-SVX055D-EN
•
If the unit is not equipped with an optional factory
installed nonfused disconnect switch, a field supplied
disconnect switch must be installed at or near the unit
in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC
latest edition).
•
Location of the applicable electrical service entrance is
illustrated in
. Complete the
unit’s power wiring connections onto either; the main
terminal block HTB1 inside the unit control panel, the
factory mounted nonfused disconnect switch (UCD), or
the electric heat terminal block. Refer to the customer
connection diagram that shipped with the unit for
specific termination points.
•
Provide proper grounding for the unit in accordance
with local and national codes.
Control Power Transformer
The 24-volt control power transformers are to be used only
with the accessories called out in this manual.
Transformers rated greater than 50 Vac are equipped with
internal circuit breakers. If a circuit breaker trips, turn “Off”
all power to the unit before attempting to reset it.
The transformer is located in the control panel. The circuit
breaker is located on the left side of the transformer and
can be reset by pressing in on the black reset button.
Controls using 24 Vac
Before installing any connecting wiring, refer to
for the electrical access locations
provided on the unit and
for AC conductor
sizing guidelines.
NOTICE
Use Copper Conductors Only!
Unit terminals are not designed to accept other types of
conductors. Failure to use copper conductors could
result in equipment damage.
1. Use copper conductors unless otherwise specified.
2. Ensure that the AC control wiring between the controls
and the unit’s termination point does not exceed three
(3) ohms/conductor for the length of the run.
Note:
Resistance in excess of 3 ohms per conductor
could cause component failure due to insufficient
AC voltage supply.
3. Be sure to check all loads and conductors for grounds,
shorts, and mis-wiring.
4. Do not run the AC low voltage wiring in the same
conduit with the high voltage power wiring.
5. Route low voltage wiring per illustrations on
the next
page.
