ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD!
All electrical connections and wiring MUST be installed by a qualifi ed electrician and
conform to the National Electrical Code and all local codes which have jurisdiction.
Failure to do so can result in property damage, personal injury and/or death.
B. Power Cord Information (230/208V models only)
All Friedrich 230/208V PTAC units are shipped from the factory with
a Leakage Current Detection Interrupter (LCDI) equipped power
cord. The LCDI device meets the UL and NEC requirements for
cord connected air conditioners effective August 2004.
To test your power supply cord:

the cause of the trip should be identifi ed prior to further use of the
PTAC.
If the device fails to trip when tested or if the power supply cord is
damaged it must be replaced with a new supply cord obtained from
the product manufacturer, and must not be repaired.
