Electric Heat Wiring Connection
Important:
For units with electric heat, complete tubing
connections AFTER completing wiring
connections. See “Tubing Connections”
section.
1.
Cut and remove wire ties which hold the electric
control wires together, remove the shield bracket.
Leave the armaflex on the hole with the control wires.
2. Cut the lowest wire tie which holds the electric heat
power wires to the vertical post on the high side.
3. Route the power wires one by one in to the hole on the
low side end panel and connect them to the terminal
block inside the electric Junction Box or inside the
extended casing section.
Note:
For 8' extended casing units, remove the panel (this
panel weighs approximately 60 pounds) next to the
corner post in the low side to locate the terminal
block.
4. Bundle the electric heat power and control wires with
armaflex wrap on the low side end of the unit. Screw
the shield bracket to compress the wire bundle and
create a good seal.
Figure 39, p. 62
5. Route the electric heat control wires to the Junction
box located on the high side.
Figure 39, p. 62
Power and Control Wiring Connections
Note:
Complete Power and Control Wiring Connections
after the tubing connections are complete.
1.
Discard the clamps and the wire shield which hold the
power and control wires.
2. Make the power and the control wire connections and
route the wires such that they route straight from the
hole at the bottom of the air handler, turn at right
angles and straight up through the bottom of the high
voltage junction box on the condenser side.

p. 62
3. Assemble the louvered panels and the corner panels in
the condenser side back in place.
4. Screw the side panels to both the air handler and
condenser side panels to act as filler panels.
5. Finally, assemble the top cover back in place.
WARNING
Proper Field Wiring and Grounding
Required!
All field wiring MUST be performed by qualified
personnel. Improperly installed and grounded field
wiring poses FIRE and ELECTROCUTION hazards. To
avoid these hazards, you MUST follow requirements for
field wiring installation and grounding as described in
NEC and your local/state electrical codes. Failure to
follow code could result in death or serious injury.
