WHICH MODEL DO I NEED?
For AC’s with a Compressor Rated Load Amps (RLA) of up to 9A
For AC’s with a Compressor Rated Load Amps (RLA) of 9.1-16A
For AC’s with a Compressor Rated Load Amps (RLA) of 16.1-32A
This chart reflects average conversions of Single-Phase Air Conditioning and
Heat Pump Tonnage, BTU’s, HP, and RLA. Please refer to you user manual
or service panel to determine your actual RLA before deciding which model
ICM870 you need.

Special attention should be made with respect to the termination of the eld wiring leads. When these leads are terminated at a
terminal, they shall terminate only at a terminal suitable for minimum 90°C wire.
