WARNING:
The unit cabinet must have an uninter-
rupted or unbroken ground to minimize personal injury if
an electrical fault should occur. The ground may consist
of electrical wire or metal conduit when installed in
accordance with existing electrical codes. Failure to
follow this warning can result in an electric shock, fire, or
death.
B.
Connect Ground and Power Wires
Connect ground wire to ground connection in control box for
safety. Connect power wiring to contactor as shown in Fig. 9.
C.
Connect Control Wiring
Route 24v control wires through control wiring grommet and
connect leads to control wiring. (See Fig. 11.)
Use No. 18 AWG color-coded, insulated (35°C minimum) wire. If
thermostat is located more than 100 ft from unit, as measured
along the control voltage wires, use No. 16 AWG color-coded wire
to avoid excessive voltage drop.
All wiring must be NEC Class 1 and must be separated from
incoming power leads.
Use furnace transformer, fan coil transformer, or accessory trans-
former for control power, 24v/40va minimum.
NOTE:
Use of available 24v accessories may exceed the mini-
mum 40va power requirement. Determine total transformer load-
ing and increase the transformer capacity or split the load with an
accessory transformer as required.
IMPORTANT:
Check factory wiring and field wire connections
to ensure terminations are secured properly. Check wire routing to
ensure wires are not in contact with tubing, sheet metal, etc.
IX.
COMPRESSOR CRANKCASE HEATER
When equipped with a crankcase heater, furnish power to heater a
minimum of 24 hr before starting unit. To furnish power to heater
only, set thermostat to OFF and close electrical disconnect to
outdoor unit.
A crankcase heater is required if refrigerant tubing is longer than
50 ft. Refer to Application Guideline and Service Manual—Air
Conditioners and Heat Pumps Using Puron® Refrigerant.
X.
INSTALL ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES
Refer to the individual instructions packaged with kits or acces-
sories when installing.
XI.
START-UP
CAUTION:
To prevent compressor damage or personal
injury, observe the following:
•Do not overcharge system with refrigerant.
•Do not operate unit in a vacuum or at negative pressure.
•Do not vent refrigerant to atmosphere. Recover during
system repair or final unit disposal.
•Do not disable low-pressure switch.
In scroll-compressor applications:
•Dome temperatures may be hot.
