2. Drill two (2) 1/8-in. (3 mm) pilot holes through the dimples in the
furnace casing near the 7/8-in. hole.
For a side-mounted external electrical box, complete
the following:
1. Align the J-Box bracket with the 7/8-in. (22 mm) hole inside the
furnace casing.
2. Install the threaded end of a strain-relief bushing through the J-Box
bracket and the furnace casing. Strain-relief bushing should be
installed so that the bushing can be tightened around the wiring
harness inside the furnace casing.
3. Align the external electrical box with the 7/8-in. (22 mm) hole.
4. Install and tighten the lock-nut on the strain-relief bushing inside
the external electrical box.
5. Fasten the external electrical box to the furnace casing using two
(2) sheet metal screws.
6. Route field power wiring into external electrical box.
7. Pull furnace line voltage power wires through strain-relief bushing
of the external electrical box.
8. Pull the ground wire of the field line voltage wiring through the
strain-relief bushing into the furnace casing.
9. Install the green ground screw to the J-Box bracket and attach both
ground wires to the green ground screw.
10. Connect any code required external disconnect(s) to field power
wiring.
NOTE: Connect field power and neutral leads to furnace power leads
inside the external electrical box as shown in
NOTE: If electrical entry through the furnace top panel is used, mark
the screw hole locations using the mounting holes in the external
electrical box as a template.
For a top panel-mounted external electrical box,
complete the following:
1. Drill two (2) 1/8-in. (3 mm) pilot holes through the dimples in the
furnace casing near the 7/8-in. knockout or plug on the side of the
casing. Do not remove the knockout or plug in the side of the
casing.
2. Align the J-Box bracket with the pilot holes inside the furnace
casing.
3. Install 2 screws through the outside of the casing to secure the
J-Box bracket to the furnace casing.
4. Route field power wiring into external electrical box.
5. Pull furnace line voltage power wires through strain-relief bushing
of the external electrical box.
6. Pull the ground wire of the field line voltage wiring through the
strain-relief bushing into the furnace casing.
7. Install the green ground screw to the J-Box bracket and attach both
ground wires to the green ground screw.
8. Connect any code required external disconnect(s) to field power
wiring.
9. Connect field power and neutral leads to furnace power leads inside
the external electrical box as shown in

4. Pull furnace power wires through 1/2-in. (12 mm) diameter hole in
J-Box. If necessary, loosen power wires from strain—relief wire-tie
on furnace wiring harness.
5. Connect field ground wire and factory ground wire to green ground
screw on J-Box mounting bracket as shown in
6. Connect power cord power and neutral leads to furnace power leads
as shown in
Fig.
33.
7. Attach furnace J-Box cover to mounting bracket with screws
supplied in loose parts bag. Do not pinch wires between cover and
bracket. See
Fig.

1. Install J-Box mounting bracket to inside of furnace casing. See
Fig.
35.
2. Route BX connector through 7/8-in. (22 mm) diameter hole in
casing and J-Box bracket.
3. Secure BX cable to J-Box bracket with connectors approved for the
type of cable used.
4. Connect field ground wire and factory ground wire to green ground
screw on J-Box mounting bracket as shown in
5. Connect field power and neutral leads to furnace power leads. as
shown in
Fig.

6. Attach furnace J-Box cover to mounting bracket with screws
supplied in loose parts bag. Do not pinch wires between cover and
bracket.
WARNING
!
FIRE, EXPLOSION, ELECTRICAL SHOCK, AND
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in dangerous operation,
personal injury, death, or property damage.
Do not drill into blower shelf of furnace to route control wiring. Route
any control or accessory wiring to the blower compartment through
external holes provided on the casing.
24-V Wiring
Make field 24-V connections at the 24-V terminal strip. See
Connect terminal Y as shown in
Use only AWG No. 18, color-coded, copper thermostat wire.
NOTE: Use AWG No. 18 color-coded copper thermostat wire for
lengths up to 100 ft. (31 M). For wire lengths over 100 ft., use AWG No.
16 wire.
The 24-V circuit contains an automotive-type, 3-amp. fuse located on
the control. Any direct shorts during installation, service, or maintenance
could cause this fuse to blow. If fuse replacement is required, use ONLY
a 3-amp. fuse of identical size. See
ACCESSORIES
(See

1. Electronic Air Cleaner (EAC)
Connect an accessory Electronic Air Cleaner (if used) using 1/4-in.
female quick connect terminals to the two male 1/4-in.
quick-connect terminals on the control board marked EAC-1 and
EAC-2. The terminals are rated for 115 VAC, 1.0 amps maximum
and are energized during blower motor operation.
2. Humidifier (HUM)
Connect an accessory 24 VAC, 0.5 amp. maximum humidifier (if
used) to the 1/4-in male quick-connect HUM terminal and
COM-24V screw terminal on the control board thermostat strip.
The HUM terminal is energized when the pressure switch closes
during a call for heat (See
NOTE: DO NOT connect furnace control HUM terminal to HUM
