Step 6 — Install Accessories
Accessories requiring modifications to unit wiring should be
completed now. These accessories may include Winter Start
controls, Low Ambient controls, phase monitor, Compressor
LOCout. Refer to the instructions shipped with the
accessory.
Step 7 — Complete Electrical Connections
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury or death.
Do not use gas piping as an electrical ground. Unit cabinet
must have an uninterrupted, unbroken electrical ground to
minimize the possibility of personal injury if an electrical fault
should occur. This ground may consist of electrical wire
connected to unit ground lug in control compartment, or
conduit approved for electrical ground when installed in
accordance with NEC (National Electrical Code); ANSI/NFPA
70, latest edition (in Canada, Canadian Electrical Code CSA
[Canadian Standards Association] C22.1), and local electrical
codes.
!WARNING
NOTE:Check all factory and field electrical connections for
tightness. Field-supplied wiring shall conform with the
limitations of 63F(33C) rise.
Field Power Supply —
If equipped with optional Powered Convenience Outlet: The
power source leads to the convenience outlet’s transformer
primary are not factory connected. Installer must connect
these leads according to required operation of the
convenience outlet. If an always-energized convenience
outlet operation is desired, connect the source leads to the
line side of the unit-mounted disconnect. (Check with local
codes to ensure this method is acceptable in your area.) If a
de-energize via unit disconnect switch operation of the
convenience outlet is desired, connect the source leads to
the load side of the unit disconnect. On a unit without a
unit-mounted disconnect, connect the source leads to
compressor contactor C and indoor fan contactor IFC
pressure lugs with unit field power leads.
All units except 208/230-v units are factory wired for the
voltage shown on the nameplate. If the 208/230-v unit is to
be connected to a 208-v power supply, the control
transformer must be rewired by moving the black wire with
the 1/4-in. female spade connector from the 230-v
connection and moving it to the 208-v 1/4-in. male terminal
on the primary side of the transformer. Refer to unit label
diagram for additional information.
Field power wires are connected to the unit at line-side
pressure lugs on compressor contactor C and TB1 (see wiring
diagram label for control box component arrangement) or at
factory-installed option non-fused disconnect switch. Max wire
size is #4 AWG (copper only).
NOTE:TEST LEADS - Unit may be equipped with short leads
(pigtails) on the field line connection points on contactor C or
optional disconnect switch. These leads are for factory
run-test purposes only; remove and discard before
connecting field power wires to unit connection points. Make
field power connections directly to line connection pressure
lugs only.
FIRE HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in intermittent
operation or performance satisfaction.
Do not connect aluminum wire between disconnect
switch and condensing unit. Use only copper wire. (See
Fig. 6.)

FIGURE 6 -- Disconnect Switch and Unit
Units Without Factory-Installed Disconnect —
When installing units, provide a disconnect switch per NEC
(National Electrical Code) of adequate size. Disconnect
sizing data is provided on the unit informative plate. Locate
on unit cabinet or within sight of the unit per national or local
codes. Do not cover unit informative plate if mounting the
disconnect on the unit cabinet.
Units with Factory-Installed Disconnect —
The factory-installed option disconnect switch is located in a
weatherproof enclosure located under the main control box.
The manual switch handle is accessible through an opening
in the access panel.
All Units -
All field wiring must comply with NEC and all local codes. Size
wire based on MCA (Minimum Circuit Amps) on the unit
informative plate. See Fig. 7 for power wiring connections to
the unit power terminal block and equipment ground. Maximum
wire size is #4 ga AWG per pole.
Provide a ground-fault and short-circuit over-current
protection device (fuse or breaker) per NEC Article 440 (or
local codes). Refer to unit informative data plate for MOCP
(Maximum Over-current Protection) device size.
