4.4.b General Requirements
Locate the equipment disconnect within 3-feet of the heat pump's electrical enclosure, or as
close to the heat pump as possible. Always satisfy applicable codes and standards.
AquaCal AutoPilot heat pumps are designed for copper conductors, only. Do not use aluminum
wire.
Never mount a power-disconnect directly to the heat pump.
In sizing power wiring, be especially aware of up-sizing requirements necessary due to wiring
distances. Always satisfy applicable codes and standards.
Multiple heat pumps installed at the same site generally require special automatic sequencing
controllers to avoid excessive power drops at start-up. An "ASC" controller is available by calling
AquaCal AutoPilot Customer Support. See "Available Accessories" on page 37 for more
information.
4.4.c Grounding and Bonding
Follow local code requirements for properly grounding and bonding heat pump equipment.
4.4.d Sizing the Electrical Service
There are two (2) identical data plates on the heat pump; one located on the outside right front corner
and one behind the front access panel of electrical enclosure. Refer to equipment data plate (for Figure
15 ) for specific information required to size electrical service and over-current protection of heat pump.
Sizing is based on data plate information, wire size, wiring devices, and over-current protection per
applicable local codes and standards.
