WIRING – MAIN POWER
Refer to the unit rating plate for wire sizing information
and maximum fuse or “HACR” type circuit breaker
size. Each outdoor unit is marked with a “Minimum
Circuit Ampacity”. This means that the field wiring
used must be sized to carry that amount of current.
Depending on the installed KW of electric heat, there
may be two field power circuits required. If this is the
case, the unit serial plate will so indicate. All models
are suitable only for connection with copper wire. Each
unit and/or wiring diagram will be marked “Use Copper
Conductors Only”. These instructions
must be
adhered
to. Refer to the National Electrical Code (NEC) for
complete current carrying capacity data on the various
insulation grades of wiring material. All wiring must
conform to NEC and all local codes.
The electrical data lists fuse and wire sizes (75°C
copper) for all models including the most commonly
used heater sizes. Also shown are the number of field
power circuits required for the various models with
heaters.
The unit rating plate lists a “Maximum Time Delay
Relay Fuse” or “HACR” type circuit breaker that is to
be used with the equipment. The correct size must be
used for proper circuit protection and also to assure that
there will be no nuisance tripping due to the momentary
high starting current of the compressor motor.
The disconnect access door on this unit may be locked
to prevent unauthorized access to the disconnect. To
convert for the locking capability, bend the tab located
in the bottom left-hand corner of the disconnect
opening under the disconnect access panel straight
out. This tab will now line up with the slot in the door.
When shut, a padlock may be placed through the hole
in the tab preventing entry.
See “Start Up” section for important information on
three phase scroll compressor start ups.
See Table 6 for Electrical Specifications.
WIRING – LOW VOLTAGE WIRING
230/208V, 1 phase and 3 phase units are equipped with
dual primary voltage transformers. All equipment
leaves the factory wired on 240V tap. For 208V
operation, reconnect from 240V to 208V tap. The
acceptable operating voltage range for the 240 and
208V taps are:
TAP RANGE
240
253 – 216
208
220 – 187
NOTE: The voltage should be measured at the field
power connection point in the unit and while
the unit is operating at full load (maximum
amperage operating condition).
For wiring size and connections, refer to Wiring
Manual 2100-554.
OPTIONAL OUTDOOR THERMOSTAT
APPLICATIONS
Since most equipment at the time of manufacture is not
designated for any specific destination of the country
and are installed in areas not approaching the lower
outdoor temperature range, outdoor thermostats are not
factory installed as standard equipment, but are offered
as an option. See Specification Sheet for outdoor
thermostat options. They may vary according to the
thermostat used to control the unit. There are also
different applications for applying outdoor thermostats.
The set point of either type of outdoor thermostat
application is variable with geographic region and
sizing of the heating equipment to the individual
structure. Utilization of the heating Application Data,
and the heat loss calculation of the building are useful
in determining the correct set points.
NOTE: The additional LAB (low ambient bypass) relay
is required to prevent heater operation during low
temperature cooling operation.
