Hard Wire Modification
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Hard wiring instructions are for Model
HCWHD3-070 only.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD:
115-volts
may cause serious injury or death from
electrical shock. Disconnect and tag electrical
service before starting installation or field-
service. Leave electrical service disconnected
until installation or field-service is complete.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD:
An
interrupted or broken ground may cause
property damage, serious injury or death
should an electrical fault occur. The cabinet
must be grounded in accordance with NEC
ANSI/NFPA 70-2011 or local codes. In
Canada, refer to Canadian Electrical Code
CSA C22.1.
FIRE HAZARD:
Use of improper wire may cause
serious injury, property damage or death due to fire.
Do not use aluminum wire for electrical service to the
dehumidifier. Use only copper wire.
The HCWHD3-070 dehumidifier can be modified for
applications where hard power to 115VAC is required. An
electrical disconnect switch can be installed as needed to
comply with appropriate codes or ordinances. The ON/OFF
switch on the dehumidifier interrupts the 115VAC service
to the internal components of the dehumidifier, but does
not disconnect the power supply at the 115VAC terminals
on the dehumidifier.
United States Installations:
Make all electrical connections
in accordance with the current edition of the NEC ANSI/
NFPA 70 and any local codes or ordinances that may apply.
Canada Installations:
Make all electrical connections
in accordance with the current edition of the Canadian
Electrical Code CSA C22.1 and any local codes or
ordinances that may apply.
