CONVENIENCE OUTLETS

	!	WARNING
	ELECTRICAL OPERATION HAZARD
	Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
	injury or death.
	Units with convenience outlet circuits may use
	multiple disconnects. Check convenience outlet for
	power status before opening unit for service. Locate
	its disconnect switch, if appropriate, and		open it.
	Tag-out this switch, if necessary.
	Two types of convenience outlets are offered on 580J
	models: Non-powered and unit-powered. Both types
580J
	provide a 125-volt GFCI (ground-fault circuit-interrupter)
	duplex receptacle	rated at 15-A behind	a hinged
	waterproof access cover, located on the end panel of the
	unit. (See Fig. 16.)

Installing Weatherproof Cover

Aweatherproof while-in-use cover for the factory-installed convenience outlets is now required by UL standards. This cover cannot be factory-mounted due to its depth. It must be installed at unit installation. For shipment, the convenience outlet is covered with a blank cover plate.

The weatherproof cover kit is shipped in the unit’s control box. The kit includes the hinged cover, a backing plate and gasket.

IMPORTANT: Disconnect all power to unit and convenience outlet.

1.Remove the blank cover plate at the convenience out- let; discard the blank cover.

2.Loosen the two screws at the GFCI duplex outlet, un- til approximately 1/2-in (13 mm) under screw heads are exposed.

3.Press the gasket over the screw heads. Slip the back- ing plate over the screw heads at the keyhole slots and align with the gasket. Tighten the two screws un- til snug (do not over-tighten).

4.Mount the weatherproof cover to the backing plate as shown in Fig. 17.

5.Remove two slot fillers in the bottom of the cover to permit service tool cords to exit the cover. Check for full closing and latching.

Non-Powered Type

This type requires the field installation of a general-purpose 125-volt 15-A circuit powered from a source elsewhere in the building. Observe national and local codes when selecting wire size, fuse or breaker requirements and disconnect switch size and location. Route 125-v power supply conductors into the bottom of the utility box containing the duplex receptacle.

Unit-Powered Type

Aunit-mounted transformer is factory-installed to stepdown the main power supply voltage to the unit to 115-v at the duplex receptacle. This option also includes a manual switch with fuse, located in a utility box and mounted on a bracket behind the convenience outlet; access is through the unit’s control box access panel. (See Fig. 16.)

The primary leads to the convenience outlet transformer are not factory-connected. Selection of primary power source is a customer-option. If local codes permit, the transformer primary leads can be connected at the line-side terminals on a unit-mounted non-fused disconnect or circuit-breaker switch; this will provide service power to the unit when the unit disconnect switch or circuit-breaker is open. Other connection methods will result in the convenience outlet circuit being de-energized when the unit disconnect or circuit-breaker is open. (See Fig. 18.)
