FINAL WIRING
CHECK
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.

Outdoor Air Temperature (OAT) Thermistor is factory installed
by inserting the nibs on either sides of the thermistor body
through a keyhole in the bottom shelf of the control box and
locking it in place by turning it 90 degrees, such that the spherical
end of a nib faces the front of the control box.
