WARNING: Do not pressure test gas supply while connected to unit. Always disconnect union before ser- vicing. A hazardous condition could occur resulting in serious injury.
IMPORTANT: Natural gas pressure at unit gas connection must not be less than 5.5 in. wg or greater than 13.0 in. wg.

IX. STEP 9 — MAKE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
A. Field Power Supply
Unit is factory wired for voltage shown on unit nameplate. Be sure to check for correct voltage.
When installing units, provide disconnect per NEC (National Electrical Code) of adequate size (MOCP [Maximum Over- current protection] of unit is on the informative plate). See Tables 4A and 4B. All field wiring must comply with NEC and local codes. Size wire based on MCA (Minimum Circuit Amps) on the unit informative plate. See Fig. 15 for power wiring connection to the unit power terminal block and equipment ground.
Route power and ground lines through control box end panel or unit basepan (see Fig. 4) to connections as shown on unit wiring diagram and Fig. 15.
CAUTION: The correct power phasing is critical to the operation of the scroll compressors. An incorrect phasing will result in compressor shutdown on thermal overload and possible damage to compressor. Should this occur, power phase correction must be made to the incoming power.
WARNING: Unit cabinet must have an uninter- rupted, unbroken electrical ground to minimize the possibility of personal injury if an electrical fault should occur. This ground may consist of electrical wire connected to unit ground lug in control compartment, or conduit approved for electrical ground when installed in accordance with NEC, ANSI/NFPA (National Fire Protection Association), latest edition, and local electrical codes. Do not use gas piping as an electrical ground. Failure to follow this warning could result in the installer being liable for personal injury of others.
Field wiring must conform to temperature limitations for type “T” wire. All field wiring must comply with NEC and local requirements.
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
Unit must be controlled with a
Route thermostat cable or equivalent single leads of colored wire from subbase terminals through conduit into unit to
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.
