Step 12 — Make Electrical Connections
WARNING
!
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.
NOTE:
Field- - supplied wiring shall conform with the
limitations of minimum 63_F (33_C) 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 (see Fig. 24).

Field power wires will be connected line- - side pressure
lugs on the power terminal block or at factory- - installed
option non- - fused disconnect.
Field power wires are connected to the unit at line- - side
pressure lugs on compressor contactor C and indoor fan
contactor IFC (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.
WARNING
!
FIRE HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in
intermittent operation or performance satisfaction.
Do not connect aluminum wire between disconnect
switch and 581J unit. Use only copper wire. (See Fig. 25.)

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.
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.
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. 24 for power wiring
connections to the unit power terminal block and equipment
ground. Maximum wire size is #4 ga AWG per pole.
