• Providepowersupplyfortheunitinaccordancewiththe
unit wiring diagram, and the unit rating plate. Connect
the line-voltage leads to the terminals on the contactor
inside the control compartment.
• Useonlycopperwireforthelinevoltagepowersupply
to this unit as listed in Table 1. Use proper code agency
listed conduit and a conduit connector for connecting
the supply wires to the unit. Use of rain tight conduit is
recommended.
• 208/230Voltunitsareshippedfromthefactorywired
for 230 volt operation. For 208V operation, remove the
lead from the transformer terminal marked 240V and
connect it to the terminal marked 208V.
• Optionalequipmentrequiringconnectiontothepower
or control circuits must be wired in strict accordance of
the NEC (ANSI/NFPA 70), applicable local codes, and
the instructions provided with the equipment.
Grounding
WARNING:
The unit cabinet must have an uninterrupted or
unbroken electrical ground to minimize personal
injury if an electrical fault should occur. Do not
use gas piping as an electrical ground!
This unit must be electrically grounded in accordance
with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with
the National Electrical Code (ANSI/NFPA 70) or the CSA
C22.1 Electrical Code. Use the grounding lug provided in
the control box for grounding the unit.

Thermostat Connections
• Thermostatconnectionsshouldbemadeinaccordance
with the instructions supplied with the thermostat and
the indoor equipment.
• The outdoor unit is designed to operate from a 24 VAC
Class II control circuit. The control circuit wiring must
comply with the current provisions of the NEC (ANSI/
NFPA 70) and with applicable local codes having
jurisdiction.
• The low voltage wires must be properly connected to
the units low voltage terminal block. Recommended
wire gauge and wire lengths for typical thermostat
connections are listed in Table 2.
• The thermostat should be mounted about 5 feet above
the floor on an inside wall. DO NOT install the thermostat
on an outside wall or any other location where its
operation may be adversely affected by radiant heat from
fireplaces, sunlight, or lighting fixtures, and convective
heat from warm air registers or electrical appliances.
Refer to the thermostat manufacturer’s instruction sheet
for detailed mounting and installation information.
START UP & ADJUSTMENTS
Pre-Start Check List
√ Verify the indoor unit is level and allows proper
condensate drainage.
√ Verify the outdoor coil and top of the unit are free from
obstructions and debris, and all equipment access/
control panels are in place.
√ Verify air filters are cleaned and properly installed.
√ Verify duct work is sealed to prevent air leakage.
√ Verify line voltage power leads are securely connected
and the unit is properly grounded.
√ Verify low voltage wires are securely connected to the
correct leads on the low voltage terminal strip.
√ Verify power supply branch circuit overcurrent protection
is sized properly.
√ Verify the thermostat is wired correctly.
Start-Up Procedures
The thermostat's function mode should be set to OFF and
the fan mode should be set to AUTO. Close all electrical
disconnects to energize the system.
Air Circulation - Indoor Blower
1. Set the thermostat system mode on OFF and the fan
mode to ON.
2. Verify the blower runs continuously. Check the air delivery
at the supply registers and adjust register openings for
balanced air distribution. If insufficient air is detected,
examine ductwork for leaks or obstructions.
3. Set the thermostat fan mode to AUTO and verify the
blower stops running.
System Cooling
1. Set the thermostat’s system mode to COOL and the
fan mode to AUTO. Gradually lower the thermostat
temperature setpoint below room temperature and
verify the outdoor unit and indoor blower energize.
