Line Voltage Wiring
• Electrical connections must be in compliance with all
applicable local codes with the current revision of the
National Electric Code (ANSI/NFPA 70).
• For Canadian installations the electrical connections
and grounding shall comply with the current Canadian
Electrical Code (CSA C22.1 and/or local codes).
• It is recommended that the line voltage (115 VAC) to
the furnace be supplied from a dedicated branch circuit
containing the correct fuse or circuit breaker for the
furnace as listed in Table 4 (page 22).
ELECTRICAL SHOCK, FIRE OR EXPLOSION
HAZARD
Failure to follow safety warnings exactly could
result in serious injury or property damage.
Improper servicing could result in dangerous
operation, serious injury, death or property
damage.
• Before servicing, disconnect all electrical
power to furnace.
• When servicing controls, label all wires prior
to disconnecting. Reconnect wires correctly.
• Verify proper operation after servicing.”
WARNING:
RISQUE DE CHOC ÉLECTRIQUE, D’INCENDIE
OU D’EXPLOSION
Le non-respect des avertissements de sécurité
pourrait entraîner un fonctionnement dangereux
de l’appareil, des blessures graves, la mort ou des
dommages matériels.
Un entretein incorrect pourrait entraîner un
fonctionnement dangereux de l’appareil, des
blessures graves, la mort ou des dommages
matériels
• Couper toute alimentation électrique au
générateur d’air chaud avant de prodéder
aux travaux d’entretein.
• Au moment de l’entretien des commandes,
étiquetez tous les fils avant de les débrancher.
S’assurer de les raccorder correctement.
• S’assurer que l’appareil fonctionne
adéquatement aprés l’entretien
.
AVERTISSEMENT
:
ELECTRICAL WIRING
IMPORTANT NOTES:
If replacing any of the original wires supplied with
the furnace, the replacement wire must be copper
wiring and have a temperature rating of at least 105°F
(40°C). For electrical specifications, refer to the furnace
nameplate or Table 4.
An electrical disconnect must be installed readily
accessible from and located within sight of the furnace.
See Figure 18 (page 29) or the wiring diagram label
inside of the control door. Any other wiring methods
must be acceptable to authority having jurisdiction.
Proper line voltage polarity must be maintained in
order for the control system to operate correctly.
Verify the incoming neutral line is connected to the
white wire and the incoming HOT line is connected
to the black wire. The furnace will not operate unless
the polarity and ground are properly connected as
shown in Figure 18.
Grounding
WARNING:
To minimize personal injury, the furnace cabinet
must have an uninterrupted or unbroken
electrical ground. The controls used in this
furnace require an earth ground to operate
properly. Acceptable methods include electrical
wire or conduit approved for ground service.
Do not use gas piping as an electrical ground!
Thermostat / Low Voltage Connections
• The furnace is designed to be controlled by a 24 VAC
thermostat. The thermostat’s wiring must comply with
the current provisions of the NEC (ANSI/NFPA 70) and
with applicable local codes having jurisdiction.
• The thermostat must be installed according to the
instructions supplied by the thermostat manufacturer.
Low voltage connections (24 VAC) from the thermostat
are wired to the terminal strip on the integrated control
in the furnace. Figure 15 (page 22) contains the proper
connections for heating only (two-wire) and heating/
cooling (four-wire) applications. Recommended
minimum wire gauge for thermostat wiring is shown
in Table 4 (page 22).
• The thermostat should be mounted about 5 feet
above the floor on an inside wall. DO NOT install the
thermostat on an outside wall or any other location
where its operation may be adversely affected by radiant
heat from fireplaces, sunlight, or lighting fixtures, and
convective heat from warm air registers or electrical
appliances. Refer to the thermostat manufacturer’s
instruction sheet for detailed mounting information.
