Final Tubing Check
IMPORTANT: Check to be certain factory tubing on both indoor and
outdoor unit has not shifted during shipment. Ensure tubes are not
rubbing against each other or any sheet metal or wires. Pay close
attention to feeder tubes, making sure wire ties on feeder tubes are
secure and tight.
Make Electrical Connections
Be sure field wiring complies with local and national fire, safety, and
electrical codes, and voltage to system is within limits shown on unit
rating plate. Contact local power company for correction of improper
voltage. See unit rating plate for recommended circuit protection device.
NOTE: Operation of unit on improper line voltage constitutes abuse and
could affect unit reliability. See unit rating plate. Do not install unit in
system where voltage may fluctuate above or below permissible limits.
NOTE: Use copper wire only between disconnect switch and unit.
NOTE: Install branch circuit disconnect of adequate size per NEC to
handle unit starting current. Locate disconnect within sight and readily
accessible from unit, per Section 440-14 of NEC. Refer to Product Data
for breaker sizing.
Route Ground and Power Wires
Remove access panel to gain access to unit wiring. Extend wires from
disconnect through power wiring hole provided and into unit control
box.
Connect Ground and Power Wires
This appliance incorporates an earth connection for safety purposes only.
Connect ground wire to ground connection in control box for safety.
Connect power wiring to contactor as shown in Fig. 6.

Connect Control Wiring
Route 24-v control wires through control wiring grommet and connect
leads to control wiring. Refer to thermostat Installation Instructions for
wiring specific unit combinations (see Fig. 7).
Use No. 18 AWG color-coded, insulated (35°C minimum) wire. If
thermostat is located more than 100 ft. (30 m) from unit, as measured
along the control voltage wires, use No. 16 AWG color-coded wire to
avoid excessive voltage drop.
All wiring must be NEC Class 2 and must be separated from incoming
power leads.
Use furnace transformer, fan coil transformer, or accessory 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.
NOTE: Factory Authorized Dissipation System must be installed with
the indoor unit.
