NOTICE All wiring must conform to local and national electrical code
requirements. Use of copper conductors only. The Data Aire unit must be
connected and serviced by a licensed and qualified electrician.
NOTICE Refer to equipment nameplate regarding wire size and circuit
protection requirements. Refer to electrical schematic when making
connections.
NOTICE Seal openings around piping and electrical connection to prevent air
leakage. Failure to do so could reduce the unit’s cooling performance.
General Electrical Field Wiring Guidelines
1. Do not run low voltage or control wires in same conduit, raceway, or chase as high voltage wiring.
2. Upon arrival of the unit inspect all wiring and electrical components for damage, either visible or
concealed before installation.
3. Use correctly sized copper wire only and verify that all electrical connections are tight before turning
power “ON”.
4. Check all electrical connections periodically and tighten as necessary.
5. All field supplied cable shall have the following specifications (Control wires only):
a. Conductors—AWG stranded copper
b. Twisted pair (minimum eight twists per foot)
c. Braided shield or foil shield
d. UL approved temperature rated to 105°C
e. UL approved voltage rated to 600V
f. UV-resistant, oil resistant and moisture-resistant if not provided in conduit.
6. Plenum rated (As required by national or local codes.)
All field supplied wires shall have the following guidelines:
a. Conductors - stranded copper and sized per circuit ampacity under NEC
b. UL approved temperature rated to 105°C
c. UL approved voltage rated to 600V
d. UV-resistant, oil resistant and moisture-resistant if not provided in conduit.
7. Wire current capacity must be sized in accordance with NEC, national or local codes.
Electrical Service
Check to be sure the electrical service provided from the facility electrical power source is sufficient to handle the
additional load imposed by this equipment. Most units with secondary heat exchangers will require a separate
power source and field provided interconnecting control wires as well. Indoor split units typically have a single
power source but can also be provided with separate sources. Field provided interconnecting control wires are also
required. See Auxiliary Control Wiring section.
