Convenience Outlets - Bryant Preferred Series Installation Instructions Manual

CONVENIENCE OUTLETS

WARNING
ELECTRICAL OPERATION HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury or
death.
Units with convenience outlet circuits may use multiple
disconnects. Check convenience outlet for power status before
opening unit for service. Locate its disconnect switch, if
appropriate, and open it. Lock-out and tag-out this switch, if
necessary.
Two types of convenience outlets are offered on 581K***F/K
models: non-powered and unit-powered. Both types provide a
125-v GFCI (ground-fault circuit interrupter) duplex receptacle
rated at 15A behind a hinged waterproof access cover, located
on the end panel of the unit. See Fig. 30.
Figure 31 shows the Convenience Outlet Utilization label
which is located below the convenience outlet.

Installing Weatherproof Cover
A weatherproof while-in-use cover for the factory-installed
convenience outlets is now required by UL standards. This
cover cannot be factory-mounted due its depth; it must be in-
stalled at unit installation. For shipment, the convenience outlet
is covered with a blank cover plate.
On units with electro-mechanical controls the weatherproof
cover kit is shipped in the unit's control box. The kit includes
the hinged cover, a backing plate, and gasket. On units with a
factory installed direct digital controller (RTU Open) the
weatherproof cover kit is secured to the basepan underneath
the control box (see Fig. 32).
