INTERIOR MAKE-UP BOX INSTALLATION
MAKE-UP
BOX
Right Side
FIGURE 57 
The unit is equipped with a eld make-up box. The make-
up box may be moved to the right side of the furnace to fa-
cilitate installation. Secure the excess wire to the existing 
harness to protect it from damage.
Refer  to  gure  58  for  eld  wiring,  schematic  wiring  dia-
gram and troubleshooting.
The power supply wiring must meet Class I restrictions. 
Protected by either a fuse or circuit breaker, select circuit 
protection and wire size according to unit nameplate.
NOTE - Unit  nameplate  states  maximum  current  draw. 
Maximum Over-Current Protection allowed is 15 AMP.
 CAUTION
Failure to use properly sized wiring and circuit breaker 
may result  in property  damage. Size wiring  and circuit 
breaker(s) per Product Specications bulletin (EHB) and 
unit rating plate.
Holes are on both sides of the furnace cabinet to facilitate 
wiring.
Install a separate (properly sized) disconnect switch near 
the furnace so that power can be turned off for servicing. 
Before connecting the thermostat check to make sure 
the wires will be long enough for servicing at a later date. 
Make sure that thermostat wire is long enough to facilitate 
future removal of blower for service.
Complete the wiring connections to the equipment. Use 
the provided unit wiring diagram and the eld wiring dia-
gram shown in gure 58. Use 18-gauge wire or larger that 
is suitable for Class II rating for thermostat connections.
Electrically ground the unit according to local codes or, 
in the absence of local codes, according to the current 
National Electric Code (ANSI/NFPA No. 70) for the USA 
and current Canadian Electric Code part 1 (CSA standard 
C22.1) for Canada. A green ground wire is provided in the
