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.
The weatherproof cover kit is shipped in the unit’s control
box. The kit includes the hinged cover, a backing plate, and
gasket.
1. Remove the blank cover plate at the convenience outlet;
discard the blank cover.
2. Loosen the two screws at the GFCI duplex outlet, until
approximately
1/
2
in. (13 mm) under screw heads is
exposed. Press the gasket over the screw heads.
3. Slip the backing plate over the screw heads at the key-
hole slots and align with the gasket; tighten the two
screws until snug (do not over-tighten).
4. Mount the weatherproof cover to the backing plate as
shown in Fig. 33.
5. Remove two slot fillers in the bottom of the cover to per-
mit service tool cords to exit the cover.
6. Check for full closing and latching.

Non-Powered Convenience Outlet
This type requires the field installation of a general-pur-
pose 125v 15A circuit powered from a source elsewhere in
the building. Observe national and local codes when selecting
wire size, fuse or breaker requirements, and disconnect
switch size and location. Route 125v power supply conduc-
tors into the bottom of the utility box containing the duplex
receptacle.
Unit-Powered Convenience Outlet
A unit-mounted transformer is factory-installed to step
down the main power supply voltage to the unit to 115v at the
duplex receptacle. This option also includes a manual switch
with fuse, located in a utility box and mounted on a bracket
behind the convenience outlet; access is through the unit’s
control box access panel. See Fig. 32.
The primary leads to the convenience outlet transformer
are not factory-connected. Selection of primary power source
is a customer option. If local codes permit, the transformer
primary leads can be connected at the line-side terminals on
the unit-mounted non-fused disconnect or HACR breaker
switch; this will provide service power to the unit when the
unit disconnect switch or HACR switch is open. Other con-
nection methods will result in the convenience outlet circuit
being de-energized when the unit disconnect or HACR switch
is open. See Fig. 34.
WARNING
Failure to follow this caution could result in personal injury
or death.
Disconnect all power to unit and convenience outlet.
Lock-out and tag-out all power.
