Ameristar 4TXK1609A1 - Electrical Connections

1. Always check the unit nameplate for the MCA and MOP requirements.
2. The fuse is located on the main electrical board.
3. A dedicated indoor unit disconnect switch and power supply circuit may need to be installed
if local codes or jurisdictions require it. Otherwise, the indoor unit is powered directly from the
outdoor unit.
4. Install a separate disconnect at the outdoor unit. The power supply, wiring and grounding
of equipment must comply with National, State and/or local codes. The power supply must
match with the equipment nameplate specication.
5. Improperly installed and grounded eld wiring poses re and electrocution hazards. For
high voltage connections, exible electrical conduit is recommended whenever vibration
transmission may create a noise problem within the structure. To avoid these hazards you
MUST follow requirements for eld wiring installation and grounding as described in the
National Electrical Codes (NEC) and your State and/or local electrical codes. All eld wiring
MUST be performed by qualied personnel. Failure to follow these requirements could result
in death or serious injury.
6. The wiring, including the ground wire, between the indoor and outdoor units should be at least
14 AWG, 600 volt rated, stranded wire, with an absolute maximum length of 230 ft. (70m).
Shorter lengths result in more robust communication between the indoor and outdoor unit.
Please select an appropriate length for the installation conditions. The wires cannot be cut
and spliced together.
7. For the wired controller: The communication distance between the main board and the wired
controller can be up to 65 ft. (19.8m). The standard distance is 25 ft. (7.6m).
