If pressure rises above 2000 microns, a leak is present.
Check for leaks as previously indicated and repair as nec-
essary then repeat evacuation.

Electrical Connections

WARNING
HIGH VOLTAGE!
Disconnect ALL power before servicing.
Multiple power sources may be present.
Failure to do so may cause property damage,
personal injury or death due to electric shock.
Wiring must conform with NEC or CEC and all
local codes. Undersized wires could cause
poor equipment performance, equipment damage
or fire.
WARNING
To avoid the risk of fire or equipment damage, use
copper conductors.
NOTICE
Units with reciprocating compressors and non-bleed TXV's
require a Hard Start Kit.
The condensing unit rating plate lists pertinent electrical data
necessary for proper electrical service and overcurrent protec-
tion. Wires should be sized to limit voltage drop to 2% (max.)
from the main breaker or fuse panel to the condensing unit.
Consult the NEC, CEC, and all local codes to determine the
correct wire gauge and length.
Local codes often require a disconnect switch located near the
unit; do not install the switch on the unit. Refer to the installa-
tion instructions supplied with the indoor furnace/air handler for
specific wiring connections and indoor unit configuration. Like-
wise, consult the instructions packaged with the thermostat
for mounting and location information.

Overcurrent Protection

The following overcurrent protection devices are approved for
use.
Time delay fuses
HACR type circuit breakers
These devices have sufficient time delay to permit the motor-
compressor to start and accelerate its load.
Three Phase Compressor Rotation
CAUTION
Use care when handling scroll compressors. Dome temp-
eratures could be hot.
Three phase compressors are power phase dependent and
can rotate in either direction.
Verify proper rotation for three phase compressors by ensuring
the suction pressure drops and discharge pressure rises when
the compressor is energized. NOTE: When operated in re-
verse, a three phase scroll compressors is noisier and its cur-
rent draw substantially reduced compared to marked values.
To correct, disconnect power and switch any two leads at the
unit contactor and re-observe.

High Voltage Connections

Route power supply and ground wires through the high voltage
port and terminate in accordance with the wiring diagram pro-
vided inside the control panel cover.

Low Voltage Connections

Condensing unit control wiring requires 24 Volt minimum, 25VA
service from the indoor transformer. Low voltage wiring for two-
stage units depends on the thermostat used and the number
of control wires between the indoor unit and the condensing
unit. Route control wires through the low voltage port and ter-
minate in accordance with the wiring diagram provided inside
the control panel cover.

with Low Voltage Wires to Heat Pump Unit
NOTE: For two-stage units, refer to the Installation Instructions
supplied with the variable speed indoor units for field wiring
connections.
System Start Up
NOTE: Power must be supplied to the 18 SEER outdoor
units containing ECM motors before the power is applied
to the indoor unit. Sending a low voltage signal without
high voltage power present at the outdoor unit can cause
malfunction of the control module on the ECM motor.
