WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury or
death.
Unit cabinet must have an uninterrupted, unbroken electrical
ground to minimize the possibility of personal injury if an
electrical fault should occur. This ground may consist of
electrical wire connected to unit ground lug in control
compartment, or conduit approved for electrical ground when
installed in accordance with NEC; ANSI/NFPA 70, latest
edition (in Canada, Canadian Electrical Code CSA [Canadian
Standards Association] C22.1), and local electrical codes.
NOTE: Check all factory and field electrical connections for tight-
ness. Field-supplied wiring shall conform with the limitations of
63°F (33°C) rise.
FIELD POWER SUPPLY
If equipped with optional Powered Convenience Outlet: The pow-
er source leads to the convenience outlet's transformer primary are
not factory connected. Installer must connect these leads accord-
ing to required operation of the convenience outlet. If an always-
energized convenience outlet operation is desired, connect the
source leads to the line side of the unit-mounted disconnect.
(Check with local codes to ensure this method is acceptable in
your area.) If a de-energize via unit disconnect switch operation of
the convenience outlet is desired, connect the source leads to the
load side of the unit disconnect. On a unit without a unit-mounted
disconnect, connect the source leads to compressor contactor C
and indoor fan contactor IFC pressure lugs with unit field power
leads.
Field power wires are connected to the unit at line-side pressure
lugs on compressor contactor C and TB1 (see wiring diagram la-
bel for control box component arrangement) or at factory-installed
option non-fused disconnect switch. Max wire size is #4 AWG
(copper only).
NOTE: TEST LEADS — Unit may be equipped with short leads
(pigtails) on the field line connection points on contactor C or
optional disconnect switch. These leads are for factory run-test
purposes only; remove and discard before connecting field power
wires to unit connection points. Make field power connections
directly to line connection pressure lugs only.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury,
death, or property damage.
Do not connect aluminum wire between disconnect switch and
unit. Use only copper wire. (See Fig. 13.)

DISCONNECT
The factory-installed option disconnect switch is located in a
weatherproof enclosure located under the main control box. The
manual switch handle is accessible through an opening in the ac-
cess panel.
UNITS WITHOUT FACTORY-INSTALLED NON-FUSED
DISCONNECT
When installing units, provide a disconnect switch per NEC
(National Electrical Code) of adequate size. Disconnect sizing
data is provided on the unit informative plate. Locate on unit cabi-
net or within sight of the unit per national or local codes. Do not
cover unit informative plate if mounting the disconnect on the unit
cabinet.
ALL UNITS
All field wiring must comply with NEC and all local codes. Size
wire based on MCA (Minimum Circuit Amps) on the unit infor-
mative plate. See Fig. 14 for power wiring connections to the unit
contactor and terminal block and equipment ground.

Provide a ground-fault and short-circuit over-current protection
device (fuse or breaker) per NEC Article 440 (or local codes).
Refer to unit informative data plate for MOCP (Maximum Over-
current Protection) device size.
All units except 208/230-v units are factory wired for the voltage
shown on the nameplate. If the 208/230-v unit is to be connected
to a 208-v power supply, the control transformer must be rewired
by moving the black wire with the 1/4-in. female spade connector
from the 230-v connection and moving it to the 208-v 1/4-in. male
terminal on the primary side of the transformer. Refer to unit label
diagram for line-side information.
Affix the crankcase heater warning sticker to the unit disconnect
switch.
