The units dispose of condensate through a 3/4 in. NPT female fitting that exits on the compressor end of the unit. Condensate water can be drained directly onto the roof in rooftop installations (where permitted) or onto a gravel apron in ground level installa- tions. Install a field-supplied condensate trap at end of condensate connection to ensure proper drainage. Make sure that the outlet of the trap is at least 1 in. lower than the drain-pan condensate connection to prevent the pan from overflowing. Prime the trap with water. When using a gravel apron, make sure it slopes away from the unit.

If the installation requires draining the condensate water away from the unit, install a field-supplied 2 -in. trap at the condensate connection to ensure proper drainage. Condensate trap is available as an accessory or is field-supplied. Make sure that the outlet of the trap is at least 1 in. lower than the unit drain-pan condensate connection to prevent the pan from overflowing. Connect a drain trough using a minimum of field-supplied 3/4 -in. PVC or field-supplied 3/4 -in. copper pipe at outlet end of the 2 -in. trap (See Fig. 11). Do not undersize the tube. Pitch the drain trough downward at a slope of at least 1 in. every 10 ft of horizontal run. Be sure to check the drain trough for leaks. Prime the trap at the beginning of the cooling season start-up.

Step 7ÐInstall Electrical Connections

The unit cabinet must have an uninterrupted, unbroken electrical ground to minimize the possibility of personal injury if an electrical fault should occur. This ground may consist of an electrical wire connected to the unit ground lug in the control compartment, or conduit approved for electrical ground when installed in accordance with NEC, ANSI/NFPA American National Standards Institute/National Fire Protec- tion Association (latest edition) (in Canada, Canadian Elec- trical Code CSA C22.1) and local electrical codes. Failure to adhere to this warning could result in serious injury or death.

Failure to follow these precautions could result in damage to the unit being installed:

1.Make all electrical connections in accordance with NEC ANSI/NFPA (latest edition) and local electrical codes governing such wiring. In Canada, all electrical connec- tions must be in accordance with CSA standard C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code Part 1 and applicable local codes. Refer to unit wiring diagram.

2.Use only copper conductor for connections between field-supplied electrical disconnect switch and unit. DO NOT USE ALUMINUM WIRE.

3.Be sure that high-voltage power to unit is within operating voltage range indicated on unit rating plate. On 3-phase units, ensure phases are balanced within 2%. Consult local power company for correction of improper voltage and/or phase imbalance.

4.Insulate low-voltage wires for highest voltage contained within conduit when low-voltage control wires are in same conduit as high-voltage wires.

5.Do not damage internal components when drilling through any panel to mount electrical hardware, conduit, etc.

HIGH-VOLTAGE CONNECTIONS Ð The unit must have a separate electrical service with a field-supplied, waterproof dis- connect switch mounted at, or within sight from the unit. Refer to the unit rating plate, NEC and local codes for maximum fuse/circuit breaker size and minimum circuit amps (ampacity) for wire sizing (See Tables 3A and 3B for electrical data).

The field-supplied disconnect may be mounted on the unit over the high-voltage inlet hole (See Figs. 2-3).

If the unit has an electric heater, a second disconnect may be required. Consult the Installation, Start-Up and Service Instruc- tions provided with the accessory for electrical service connec- tions.

Operation of unit on improper line voltage constitutes abuse and may cause unit damage that could affect warranty.

ROUTING POWER LEADS INTO UNIT Ð Use only copper wire between disconnect and unit. The high-voltage leads should
