VIII. STEP 8 — INSTALL GAS PIPING
Unit is equipped for use with natural gas. Installation must conform with local building codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.
Install
WARNING: Do not pressure test gas supply while connected to unit. Always disconnect union before servicing.
IMPORTANT: Natural gas pressure at unit gas connection must not be less than 5.5 in. wg or greater than 13.5 in. wg.

IX. STEP 9 — MAKE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS A. Field Power Supply
Unit is factory wired for voltage shown on unit nameplate. When installing units, provide a disconnect per NEC (National Electrical Code) requirements of adequate size (Table 5).
All field wiring must comply with NEC and local requirements.
Route power and ground lines through control box end panel or unit basepan (see Fig.
CAUTION: The correct power phasing is critical in the operation of the scroll compressors. An incorrect phasing will cause the compressor to rotate in the wrong direction. This may lead to premature compres- sor failure.
WARNING: The unit must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes and NEC ANSI/NFPA 70 (National Fire Protection Association).
Field wiring must conform to temperature limitations for type ‘‘T’’ wire. All field wiring must comply with NEC and local requirements.
Transformer no. 1 is wired for
1.Remove cap from red (208 v) wire.
2.Remove cap from orange (230 v) spliced wire.
3.Replace orange wire with red wire.
4.Recap both wires.
IMPORTANT: BE CERTAIN UNUSED WIRES ARE CAPPED. Failure to do so may damage the transformers.
Operating voltage to compressor must be within voltage range indicated on unit nameplate. On
Unit failure as a result of operation on improper line voltage or excessive phase imbalance constitutes abuse and may cause damage to electrical components.
B. Field Control Wiring
Install a
Route thermostat cable or equivalent single leads of colored wire from subbase terminals through conduit in unit to low- voltage connections as shown on unit label wiring diagram and in Fig. 16.
NOTE: For wire runs up to 50 ft, use no. 18 AWG (American Wire Gage) insulated wire (35 C minimum). For 50 to 75 ft, use no. 16 AWG insulated wire (35 C minimum). For over 75 ft, use no. 14 AWG insulated wire (35 C minimum). All wire larger than no. 18 AWG cannot be directly connected at the thermostat and will require a junction box and splice at the thermostat.
Set heat anticipator settings as follows:
VOLTAGE | W1 | W2 |
208/230 | 0.98 | 0.44 |
460 | 0.80 | 0.44 |
Settings may be changed slightly to provide a greater degree of comfort for a particular installation.
C. Optional Non-Fused Disconnect
On units with the optional
To prevent breakage during shipping, the disconnect handle and shaft are shipped and packaged inside the unit control box. Install the disconnect handle before unit operation. To install the handle and shaft, perform the following procedure:
1.Open the control box door and remove the handle and shaft from shipping location.
2.Loosen the Allen bolt located on the disconnect switch. The bolt is located on the square hole and is used to hold the shaft in place. The shaft cannot be inserted until the Allen bolt is moved.
3.Insert the disconnect shaft into the square hole on the disconnect switch. The end of the shaft is spe- cially cut and the shaft can only be inserted in the correct orientation.
