CONVENIENCE OUTLETS
Two types of convenience outlets are offered on 48FC
models: non-powered and unit-powered. Both types provide a
125-volt GFCI (ground-fault circuit interrupter) duplex re-
ceptacle rated at 15A behind a hinged waterproof access cov-
er, located on the end panel of the unit. See Fig. 29.
Fig. 30 shows the Convenience Outlet Utilization label
which is located below the convenience outlet.

NOTE: Unit powered convenience outlets are not available as
factory installed options for single phase (-3 voltage code
models).
Installing Weatherproof Cover
A weatherproof while-in-use cover for the factory-installed con-
venience outlets is now required by UL standards. This cover
cannot be factory-mounted due its depth; it must be installed at
unit installation. For shipment, the convenience outlet is covered
with a blank cover plate.
On units with electro-mechanical controls the weather-
proof cover kit is shipped in the unit’s control box. The kit in-
cludes the hinged cover, a backing plate, and gasket. On units
with a factory installed direct digital controller (SystemVu™
or RTU Open) the weatherproof cover kit is secured to the
basepan underneath the control box (see Fig. 31).
