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 RAV mod-
els: non-powered and unit-powered. Both types provide a
125-v GFCI (ground-fault circuit-interrupter) duplex recepta-
cle rated at 15-A behind a hinged waterproof access cover,
located on the end panel of the unit. See Fig. 26.

Installing Weatherproof Cover
A weatherproof cover is now required by UL standards for
the factory-installed convenience outlets. This cover cannot
be factory-mounted due to its depth; it must be installed 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. See Fig. 27.
Disconnect All Power To Unit and Convenience Out-
let. Lock-Out and Tag-Out All Power
Remove the blank cover plate at the convenience outlet;
discard the blank cover.
Loosen the two screws at the GFCI duplex outlet, until ap-
proximately 1/2 in. (13 mm) under screw heads is exposed.
Press the gasket over the screw heads. Slip the backing
plate over the screw heads at the keyhole slots and align
with the gasket; tighten the two screws until snug (do not
over-tighten).
Mount the weatherproof cover to the backing plate as
shown in Fig. 27. Remove two slot fillers in the bottom of the
cover to permit service tool cords to exit the cover. Check
for full closing and latching.

Non-powered type
Requires the field installation of a general-purpose 125-v
15-A circuit powered from a source elsewhere in the build-
ing. Observe national and local codes when selecting wire
size, fuse or breaker requirements and disconnect switch
size and location. Route 125-v power supply conductors
into the bottom of the utility box containing the duplex recep-
tacle.
Unit-powered type
A unit-mounted transformer is factory-installed to step-down
the main power supply voltage to the unit to 115-v at the du-
plex receptacle. This option also includes a manual switch
with fuse, located in a utility box and mounted on a bracket
behind the convenience outlet; access is through the unit's
control box access panel. See Fig. 26.
The primary leads to the convenience outlet transformer are
not factory-connected. Selection of primary power source is
a customer option. If local codes permit, the transformer pri-
mary leads can be connected at the line-side terminals on
the unit-mounted non-fused disconnect or HACR breaker
switch; this will provide service power to the unit when the
unit disconnect switch or HACR switch is open. Other con-
nection methods will result in the convenience outlet circuit
being de-energized when the unit disconnect or HACR
switch is open. See Fig. 28. On a unit without a unit-mount-
ed disconnect, connect the source leads to the main
terminal block (TB3).
If the convenience outlet transformer is connected to the
line side of a field disconnect, the conduit provided with the
unit must be used to protect the wires as they are routed
from the transformer to the field disconnect. The end of the
conduit with the straight connector attaches to the field dis-
connect. The other end does not need to connect to the
transformer; however, the conduit must be routed so that all
wiring is either in the conduit or behind the access panel.
If the convenience outlet transformer is connected to the
line side of the factory disconnect option, route the wires
through the web bushing located on the bottom of the
disconnect box. For the load-side wiring to the factory option
disconnect, route the wires through the hole on the right
side of the disconnect. Be sure to create a drip loop at least
6 inches long.
