• -010 model is factory-wired for single-branch supply
circuit only.
• -012 models are factory-wired for single-branch supply
circuit (single-circuit kit factory installed). Dual-branch
circuit can be used by removing factory-installed single-
circuit kit (see Figure 17).
• -015, -017, -020 and -023 models are factory-wired for
dual-branch supply circuit. Single-branch circuit can be
used by installing optional single-circuit kit.

Connecting Supply Service Wires

Power entrance for all models may be through the right
side or through the bottom of the unit.
1. Remove right-hand control panel (when viewing in
downfl ow position).
2. Locate power supply knockouts in side of unit and in
bottom of unit. Remove appropriate plug(s) or knockout
opening applicable to selected wire size(s).
WARNING:
To avoid personal injury or property damage,
make certain that the motor leads cannot
come into contact with non-insulated metal
components of the unit.
3. Install listed cable connector(s) in opening(s). If metal-
sheathed conduit is used for incoming power line(s),
provide an approved metal clamp on conduit and
secure it in entrance knockout.
4. Insert supply service wire(s) through cable connector(s)
and connect wires to circuit breakers (Figures 17 &
18). NOTE: To install single-circuit kit, perform step
5. If single-circuit kit installation is not needed, go to
step 6.

Grounding

To minimize personal injury, the furnace cabinet
must have an uninterrupted or unbroken
electrical ground. The controls used in this
furnace require an earth ground to operate
properly. Acceptable methods include electrical
wire or conduit approved for ground service.
Do not use gas piping as an electrical ground!

Thermostat / Low Voltage Connections

• The furnace is designed to be controlled by a 24 VAC
• The thermostat should be mounted about 5 feet above the

The E3EB model is equipped with a 4-speed PSC motor
Adaptor Kit
which can be upgraded to a multi-speed high effi ciency
X-13 motor using kit 904619. It is equipped with a multi-
speed blower, blower relay, and cabinet insulation kit for
air conditioner hookup. See Table 6 (page 19) for cooling
and heat pump availability with factory installed blower.

If a relay box is installed, blower speeds for
heating and cooling are set inside the relay box.
The blower speed inside the furnace control
box must be set to low or medium-low. Never
change to a heating speed lower than that shown
in Table 3 (page 15). See instructions supplied
with relay box.

b. Remove cover from single-circuit kit (if supplied).
c. Insert metal buss bars of kit into lugs of circuit
breaker.
d. Tighten lugs securely (45 in.-lbs. recommended).

an outside wall or any other location where its operation
may be adversely affected by radiant heat from fi replaces,
sunlight, or lighting fi xtures, and convective heat from
warm air registers or electrical appliances. Refer to the
thermostat manufacturer's instruction sheet for detailed
mounting information.
