Step 10 — Install Electrical Connections

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury

or death.
The unit cabinet must have an uninterrupted, unbroken

electrical ground. This ground may consist of an electrical

wire connected to the unit ground screw in the control

compartment, or conduit approved for electrical ground when

installed in accordance with NEC, NFPA 70 National Fire

Protection Association (latest edition) (in Canada, Canadian

Electrical Code CSA C22.1) and local electrical codes.

WARNING

UNIT COMPONENT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in damage to the unit

being installed.

1. Make all electrical connections in accordance with NEC

NFPA 70 (latest edition) and local electrical codes
governing such wiring. In Canada, all electrical

connections must be in accordance with CSA standard
C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code Part 1 and applicable
local codes. Refer to unit wiring diagram.

2. Use only copper conductor for connections between

field--supplied electrical disconnect switch and unit. DO

NOT USE ALUMINUM WIRE.

3. Be sure that high--voltage power to unit is within

operating voltage range indicated on unit rating plate. On

3--phase units, ensure phases are balanced within 2
percent. Consult local power company for correction of

improper voltage and/or phase imbalance.

4. Insulate low--voltage wires for highest voltage contained

within conduit when low--voltage control wires are in
same conduit as high--voltage wires.

5. Do not damage internal components when drilling

through any panel to mount electrical hardware, conduit,
etc.

!

CAUTION

High--Voltage Connections

When routing power leads into unit, use only copper wire between

disconnect and unit. The high voltage leads should be in a conduit

until they enter the duct panel; conduit termination at the duct
panel must be watertight.
The unit must have a separate electrical service with a
field--supplied, waterproof disconnect switch mounted at, or within

sight from, the unit. Refer to the unit rating plate, NEC and local
codes for maximum fuse/circuit breaker size and minimum circuit

amps (ampacity) for wire sizing.
The field--supplied disconnect switch box may be mounted on the
unit over the high--voltage inlet hole when the standard power and

low--voltage entry points are used (See Fig. 2 and 3 for acceptable
location).
NOTE:

Field supplied disconnect switch box should be

positioned so that it does not cover up any of the unit gas
combustion supply air louvers.
See unit wiring label (Fig. 14 and 15) and Fig. 9 for reference

when making high voltage connections. Proceed as follows to
complete the high--voltage connections to the unit.
Single phase units:

1. Run the high--voltage (L1, L2) and ground lead into the

control box.

2. Connect ground lead to chassis ground connection.

3. Locate the black and yellow wires connected to the line side

of the contactor.

4. Connect field L1 to black wire on connection 11 of the

compressor contactor.

5. Connect field wire L2 to yellow wire on connection 23 of

the compressor contactor.

Three--phase units:

1. Run the high--voltage (L1, L2, L3) and ground lead into the

control box.

2. Connect ground lead to chassis ground connection.
3. Locate the black and yellow wires connected to the line side

of the contactor.

4. Connect field L1 to black wire on connection 11 of the

compressor contactor.

5. Connect field wire L3 to yellow wire on connection 13 of

the compressor contactor.

6. Connect field wire L2 to blue wire from compressor.

Special Procedures for 208--V Operation

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury

or death.
Make sure the power supply to the unit is switched OFF before

making any wiring changes. Tag the disconnect switch with a

suitable warning label. With disconnect switch open, move

black wire from transformer (3/16 in.) terminal marked 230 to

terminal marked 200. This retaps transformer to primary

voltage of 208 vac.

!

WARNING

ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury

or death.
Before making any wiring changes, make sure the gas supply

is switched off first. Then switch off the power supply to the

unit and install lockout tag.
