Hard Wire Kit

Part No: AYAGALA01

Description

Hard Wire Junction Box (Direct Wire Sub-Base) The hard wire junction box kit is used to hard wire the unit when it is not desirable to use the standard unit subbase or the unit power cord.

The junction box provides a protected enclosure for electrical connections as required by some electrical codes.

The hard wire junction box is intended to be mounted on the floor or the adjacent wall.

The junction box is furnished with approximately 2-1/2 feet of 1/2-inch flexible steel conduit and a metal box for securing the conduit to the unit cabinet at the incoming power opening.

An optional 230/208V or 265V power switch assembly is available for use with the hard wire junction box or subbase. The switch provides a POWER ON/OFF function at the unit as required by some electrical codes.

A replacement junction box cover plate is provided with each switch kit.

For additional information, refer to the Power Switch Installation Instructions.

Junction Box Kit Installation and Wiring Procedure

EIectrical connections at the unit must be made after the unit chassis is installed in the wall sleeve. The installer must determine and supply the mounting components for attaching the junction box to the wall or door.

WARNING

Hazardous Voltage!

Disconnect all electric power, including remote disconnects before servicing. Follow proper lockout/tagout procedures to ensure the power can not be inadvertently energized. Failure to disconnect power before servicing could result in death or serious injury.

Important Note:

The unit OFF switch does not disconnect all electrical power to this unit.

CAUTION

Use Copper Conductors Only!

Unit terminals are not designed to accept other types of conductors. Failure to use copper conductors may result in equipment damage.

Important Note:

All wiring must comply with applicable

local and national codes. Types and location of disconnect switches must comply with all applicable codes.

1.Remove the cover plate from the junction box

2.Mount the junction box to the wall or floor within 28 inches (711

mm)of the lower right corner of the wall sleeve.

3.If a disconnect switch is to be used, make electrical connections to it and mount the switch in the junction box. Refer to the Power Switch Installation Instructions.

4.Remove control panel assembly by removing the two screws holding control panel in place. Rotate the panel forward.

5.Disconnect the power cord leads from all electrical connections including the ground wire.

6.Remove the power cord clamp and the power cord from the unit.

7.For 208/230-volt units, remove and discard the white lead from the wire assembly. For 265-volt units, remove and discard the red lead from the wire assembly.

8.Remove the retaining ring from the threaded portion of the straight conduit clamp. Insert the three wires into the metal box through one of the two openings in the box. Replace the hole cover grommet into the unused hole to prevent objects from entering the box.

9.Replace the retaining ring back on the conduit clamp inside the metal box and tighten the ring securely.

10.Insert the three wires extending from the metal box into the incoming power opening on the unit so that approximately 20 inches (508 mm) of the wires protrude through the opening.

11.Attach the metal box to the chassis with the two screws provided. See Figure 50.

12.Insert the wire tie into the 1/4-inch diameter hole located just above the incoming power opening. Tie all wires together securely with the wire tie. See Figure 51.
