X. CONDENSATE DRAIN
The condensate drain connection of the evaporator is 3/4" nominal female pipe thread.
IMPORTANT: Install a condensate trap to ensure proper condensate drainage. See
Figure 15.
XI. CONDENSATE DRAIN, OUTDOOR COIL
The outdoor coil during heating operation will sweat or run water off. The outdoor coil will
also run water off during the defrost cycle. See Section V, Installation, for mounting pre-
cautions.
XII. ELECTRICAL WIRING
Field wiring must comply with the National Electrical Code* and local ordinances that may
apply.
*C.E.C. in Canada
A. POWER WIRING
1. It is important that proper electrical power is available at the unit. Voltage should not
vary more than 10% from that stamped on the unit rating plate. On three phase
units, phases must be balanced within 3%.
® 2. Install a branch circuit disconnect within sight of the unit and of adequate size to
handle the starting current. A bracket is supplied with the unit for mounting a discon-
nect to the unit. Refer to Figure 16 for proper location.
3. For branch circuit wiring (main power supply to unit disconnect), the minimum wire
size can be determined from Table C using the circuit ampacity found on the unit
nameplate or from the Electrical Data.
4. This unit incorporates single point electrical connection for unit and electric heat
accessory.
5. Power wiring must be run in grounded rain-tight conduit. Connect the power field
wiring as follows:
a. NO ELECTRIC HEAT - Connect the field wires directly to the contactor pigtails in
the electric heat access area. Connect ground wire to ground lug.
b. WITH ELECTRIC HEAT - Connect the field wires to the terminal block on the
electric heater kit in the electric heat access area. Connect the ground wire to the
ground lug on the heater kit.
NOTE: For field installation of a heater kit, follow the instructions provided with the heater
kit.
