Electrical - Circuit Sizing And Wire Routing - Lennox ML14XC1 Series Manual

IMPORTANT
Use a thermocouple or thermistor electronic vacuum
gauge that is calibrated in microns. Use an instrument
capable of accurately measuring down to 50 microns.
WARNING
Possible equipment damage.
Avoid deep vacuum operation. Do not use compressors
to evacuate a system. Extremely low vacuum can cause
internal arcing and compressor failure. Damage caused
by deep vacuum operation will void warranty.
Evacuating the system of non-condensables is critical for
proper operation of the unit. Non-condensables are de-
fined as any gas that will not condense under tempera-
tures and pressures present during operation of an air
conditioning system. Non-condensables and water suc-
tion combine with refrigerant to produce substances that
corrode copper piping and compressor parts.
SIZE CIRCUIT AND INSTALL SERVICE

Refer to the unit nameplate for minimum circuit ampacity, and maximum
fuse or circuit breaker (HACR per NEC). Install power wiring and properly
sized disconnect switch.

Electrical – Circuit Sizing and Wire Routing
In the U.S.A., wiring must conform with current local codes
and the current National Electric Code (NEC). In Canada,
wiring must conform with current local codes and the cur-
rent Canadian Electrical Code (CEC).
Refer to the furnace or air handler installation instructions
for additional wiring application diagrams and refer to unit
nameplate for minimum circuit ampacity and maximum
overcurrent protection size.
24VAC TRANSFORMER
Use the transformer provided with the furnace or air han-
dler for low-voltage control power (24VAC - 40 VA mini-
mum).
Fire Hazard. Use of aluminum wire with this product may
result in a fire, causing property damage, severe injury
or death. Use copper wire only with this product.
Failure to use properly sized wiring and circuit breaker
may result in property damage. Size wiring and circuit
breaker(s) per Product Specifications bulletin (EHB) and
unit rating plate.
INSTALL THERMOSTAT
Install room thermostat (ordered separately) on an inside wall
approximately in the center of the conditioned area and 5 feet (1.5m) from
the floor. It should not be installed on an outside wall or where it can be
affected by sunlight or drafts.
