Fig. 27 – Field-Supplied Electrical Box on Furnace Casing
1. Select  and  remove  a  hole  knockout  in  the  casing  where  the
electrical box is to be installed.
NOTE:  Check  that  duct  on  side  of  furnace  will  not  interfere  with
installed electrical box.
2. Remove the desired electrical box hole knockout and position the
hole in the electrical box over the hole in the furnace casing.
3. Fasten  the  electrical  box  to  casing  by  driving  two  field-supplied
screws from inside electrical box into casing steel.
4. Remove and save two screws holding J-Box. (See Fig. 26).
5. Pull furnace power  wires out of 1/2-in. (12 mm)  diameter hole in
J-Box. Do not loosen wires from strain-relief wire-tie on outside of
J-Box.
6. Route furnace  power  wires  through  holes  in  casing and  electrical
box and into electrical box.
7. Pull field power wires into electrical box.
8. Remove cover from furnace J-Box.
9. Route field ground wire through holes in electrical box and casing,
and into furnace J-Box.
10. Reattach furnace J-Box to furnace casing with screws removed in
Step 4.
11. Secure field ground wire to J-Box green ground screw.
12. Complete  electrical  box  wiring  and  installation.  Connect  line
voltage leads.  (See  Fig. 27).  Use  best  practices  (NEC  in  U.S.  for
wire bushings, strain relief, etc.
13. Reinstall  cover  to  J-Box.  Do  not  pinch  wires  between  cover  and
bracket. 
Power Cord Installation in Furnace J-Box
NOTE: Power cords must be able to handle the electrical requirements
listed in Table 6. Refer to power cord manufacturer’s listings.
1. Remove cover from J-Box.
2. Route listed power cord through 7/8-in. (22 mm) diameter hole in
J-Box.
3. Secure power cord to J-Box bracket with a strain relief bushing or a
connector approved for the type of cord used.
4. Secure field ground wire to green ground screw on J-Box bracket.
5. Connect line voltage leads. (See Fig. 24).
6.   Reinstall cover to  J-Box.  Do not  pinch wires  between cover  and
bracket. 
BX Cable Installation in Furnace J-Box 
1. Remove cover from J-Box.
2. Route BX cable into 7/8-in. (22 mm) diameter hole in J-Box.
3.  Secure BX cable to J-Box bracket with connectors approved for the
type of cable used.
4. Secure field ground wire to green ground screw on J-Box bracket.
5. Connect line voltage leads. (See Fig. 24).
6. Reinstall  cover  to  J-Box.  Do  not  pinch  wires  between  cover  and
bracket. 
24-V Wiring 
Make  field  24-v connections  at  the  24-v  terminal strip.  (See  Fig. 24  -
Fig. 36). Connect terminal Y/Y2 as shown in Fig. 28 - Fig. 35 for proper
cooling  operation.  Use  only  AWG  No.  18,  color-coded,  copper
thermostat wire. 
The 24-v circuit contains an automotive-type, 3-amp. fuse located on the
control. Any  direct  shorts  during  installation,  service,  or  maintenance
could cause this fuse to blow. If fuse replacement is required, use ONLY
a 3-amp. fuse of identical size.
