transformer for control power, 24v/40va minimum.
NOTE: Use of available 24v accessories may exceed the
minimum 40va power requirement. Determine total transformer
loading and increase the transformer capacity or split the load
with an accessory transformer as required.
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.
STEP 9 —CompressorCrankcaseHeater
When equipped with a crankcase heater, furnish power to heater a
minimum of 24 hr before starting unit. To furnish power to heater

STEP 11 —Check OAT Thermistor and OCT Thermistor
Attachments
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.
Check to make sure the OAT is locked in place. See Fig. 10.
OAT Thermistor must be locked in
place with spherical nib end facing
