Locating & Installing the Return Air Assembly
To simplify installation, locate and install the return air
assembly first. If desired, the return opening can be
located inside a closet with louvered doors that has an
open area equal to or greater than a 12" x 20" grille. The
return air grille can be placed in the wall of a closet and
the air ducted into the filter box through a boxed-in area at
the closet floor level. Verify the filter is readily accessible.
Locating & Installing the Supply Damper(s)
CAUTION:
If installing this air conditioning system in
conjunction with a furnace, a damper must be
installed in the furnace base assembly to prevent
cold air from being discharged around the heat
exchanger. Damage to the heat exchanger and
asphyxiation may occur if a damper is not
installed.
Check with the furnace manufacturer for damper
requirements. Failure to install the required
furnace damper may invalidate code agency
listing and limited warranty on the furnace.

Condensate Drainage

A 3/4" condensate fitting extends out of the side of the
unit as shown in Figure 4. The drain trap (shipped in the
electrical compartment), must be installed to prevent water
from collecting inside the unit.
1. Thread the elbow provided with the unit into the drain
connection until hand tight.
2. Connect the condensate tubing onto the fitting, forming
a trap near the drain connection.
3. Route the condensate tube from the trap to a suitable
drain. NOTE: For proper drainage, make sure the trap
is level to the ground and tubing outlet is below trap
level.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

WARNING:
To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal
injury, or death, disconnect all electrical power
to the unit before performing any maintenance
or service. The unit may have more than one
electrical supply.
Label all wires prior to disconnection when
servicing the unit. Wiring errors can cause
improper and dangerous operation
• All electrical connections must be in compliance with
all applicable local codes and ordinances, and with
the current revision of the National Electric Code
(ANSI/NFPA 70).
• For Canadian installations the electrical connections
and grounding shall comply with the current Canadian
Electrical Code (CSA C22.1 and/or local codes).

Pre-Electrical Checklist

√ Verify that the voltage, frequency, and phase of the
supply source match the specifications on the unit
rating plate.
√ Verify that the service provided by the utility is sufficient
to handle the additional load imposed by this equipment.
Refer to the unit wiring label for proper high and low
voltage wiring.
√ Verify factory wiring is in accordance with the unit wiring
diagram (Figures 12 & 13, pages 15 & 16). Inspect for
loose connections.

Line Voltage

• A wiring diagram is located on the inside cover of the
electrical box of the unit. The installer should become
familiar with the wiring diagram before making any
electrical connections to the unit.
• An electrical disconnect must be located within
sight of and readily accessible to the unit. This
switch shall be capable of electrically de-energizing
the unit.
• Line voltage to the unit should be supplied from a
dedicated branch circuit containing the correct fuse
or circuit breaker for the unit. Incoming field wiring
and minimum size of electrical conductors and circuit
protection must be in compliance with information listed
on the unit data label. Any other wiring methods must
be acceptable to authority having jurisdiction.
• Provide power supply for the unit in accordance with the
unit wiring diagram, and the unit rating plate. Connect
the line-voltage leads to the terminals on the contactor
inside the control compartment. Extend leads through
power wiring hole (Figure 5, page 7). Connect L1 & L2
directly to the contactor.
