10. Check for leaks.

a. After the line set connections have been made they should be

checked for leaks.

b. If the valves were kept clean and lubricated per instruction no

leaks should be found. 

c. Use leak detect solution or soap solution for leak testing. An elec-

tronic leak detector is recommended.

SECTION IV: ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

GENERAL INFORMATION & GROUNDING

Check the electrical supply to be sure that it meets the values specified
on the unit nameplate and wiring label.

Power wiring, control (low voltage) wiring, disconnect switches and over
current protection must be supplied by the installer. Wire size should be
sized per NEC requirements.

The complete connection diagram and schematic wiring label is located
on the inside surface of the unit service access panel.

FIELD CONNECTIONS POWER WIRING

1. Install the proper size weatherproof disconnect switch outdoors and

within sight of the unit.

2. Remove the screws at the top and sides of the corner cover. Slide

corner cover down and remove from unit.

3. Run power wiring from the disconnect switch to the unit.

4. Route wires from disconnect through power wiring opening provided

and into the unit control box as shown in Figure 7.

5. Install the proper size time-delay fuses or circuit breaker, and make

the power supply connections.

FIELD CONNECTIONS CONTROL WIRING

1. Route low voltage wiring into bottom of control box as shown in Fig-

ure 7. Make low voltage wiring connections inside the low voltage
box per Figures 8 & 9.

2. The complete connection diagram and schematic wiring label is

located on the inside surface of the unit service access panel.

3. Replace the corner cover removed in Step 2.

4. All field wiring to be in accordance with national electrical codes

(NEC) and/or local-city codes.

5. Mount the thermostat about 5 ft. above the floor, where it will be

exposed to normal room air circulation. Do not place it on an outside
wall or where it is exposed to the radiant effect from exposed glass
or appliances, drafts from outside doors or supply air grilles.

6. Route the 24-volt control wiring (NEC Class 2) from the outdoor unit

to the indoor unit and thermostat.

IT IS UNLAWFUL TO KNOWINGLY VENT, RELEASE OR DIS-
CHARGE REFRIGERANT INTO THE OPEN AIR DURING REPAIR,
SERVICE, MAINTENANCE OR THE FINAL DISPOSAL OF THIS
UNIT.
WHEN THE SYSTEM IS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY AND THE
OWNER HAS BEEN FULLY INSTRUCTED, SECURE THE
OWNER’S APPROVAL.

All field wiring must USE COPPER CONDUCTORS ONLY and be in
accordance with Local, National, Fire, Safety & Electrical Codes. This
unit must be grounded with a separate ground wire in accordance
with the above codes.

A Start Assist Kit is available and recommended for long line set
applications or in areas of known low voltage problems.

To eliminate erratic operation, seal the hole in the wall at the thermo-
stat with permagum or equivalent to prevent air drafts affecting the
operation of in the thermostat.
