Locate unit away from overhanging roof lines which would
allow water or ice to drop on, or in font of, coil or into unit.
Slab Mounting
When installing a unit at grade level, install on slab high
enough above grade so that water from higher ground will
not collect around the unit (see Figure 2). Slab should have
a slope tolerance away from the building of 2° or 2" per 5'.
This will prevent ice from building up under the unit during a
defrost cycle. Refer to following roof mounting section for
barrier construction if unit must face prevailing winter winds.

Roof Mounting
Install unit at a minimum of 6" above surface of the roof to
avoid ice buildup around the unit. Locate the unit above a
load bearing wall or area of the roof that can adequately
support the unit. Consult local codes for rooftop applications.
If unit coil cannot be mounted away from prevailing winter
winds, a wind barrier should be constructed (see Figure 3).
Size the barrier at least the same height and width as the
outdoor unit. Mount barrier 24" from the sides of the unit in
the direction of the prevailing winds.
Electrical Wiring
All field wiring must be done in accordance with the
National Electrical Code (NEC) recommendations,
Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) and CSA Standards, or
local codes, where applicable.

WARNING
Unit must be grounded in accordance with
national and local codes. Failure to ground unit
properly can result in personal injury or death.
WARNING
Line voltage is present at all components
when unit is not in operation on units with
single pole contactors. Disconnect all remote
electric power supplies before opening access
panel. Unit may have multiple power supplies.
Failure to disconnect all power supplies could
result in personal injury or death.

wiring should be trimmed or secured away from the
low voltage field wiring.
ground. To facilitate conduit, a hole is in the bottom of the
control box. Connect conduit to the control box using a
proper conduit fitting. Units are approved for use only with
copper conductors. 24V Class II circuit connections are
made in the low voltage junction box. A complete unit
wiring diagram is located inside the unit control box cover
(see also pages 20 and 21 of this instruction).
