Electrical Power Wiring — Electrical power
wiring must comply with the current provisions
of the “National Electrical Code” (ANSI/NFPA
70) and with applicable local codes having
jurisdiction. Use of rain tight conduit is
recommended. Electrical conductors shall have
minimum circuit ampacity in compliance with the
outdoor unit rating label. The facility shall employ
electrical circuit protection at a current rating no
greater than that indicated on the outdoor unit
rating label. Refer to the unit wiring diagram for
connection details.
Minimum Circuit Ampacity — Electrical wiring
to the equipment must be compatible and in
compliance with the minimum circuit ampacity
listed on the outdoor unit data label.
Maximum Fuse/Circuit Breaker Size — Circuit
protection for the outdoor unit must be compatible
with the maximum fuse/circuit breaker size listed
on the outdoor unit data label.
Disconnect Switch — An electrically compatible
disconnect switch must be within line of sight of
the outdoor unit. This switch shall be capable of
electrically de-energizing the outdoor unit.
Optional Equipment — Optional equipment
requiring connection to the power or control
circuits must be wired in strict accordance with
current provisions of the “National Electrical
Code” (ANSI/NFPA 70), with applicable local
codes having jurisdiction, and the installation
instructions provided with the equipment.

STARTUP AND CHECKOUT
WARNING:

Ensure electrical power to the unit is

off prior to performing the following

steps. Failure to do so may cause

personal injury or death.

Air Filters — Ensure air fi lters are clean and in
place prior to operating the equipment.
Thermostat — Set the room thermostat function
switch to OFF, fan switch to AUTO, and adjust the
temperature setpoint to its highest setting.
Prior to applying electrical power to the outdoor
unit, ensure that the unit has been properly and
securely grounded, and that power supply
connections have been made at both the facility
power interface and outdoor unit.
Outdoor Unit — Ensure the outdoor coil and
top of the unit are free from obstructions and
debris, and all equipment access/control panels
are in place.
Using extreme caution, apply power to the unit
and inspect the wiring for evidence of open,
shorted, and/or improperly wired circuits.
Functional Checkout:
CAUTION:

If equipped with a compressor

crankcase heater, wait 24 hours prior

to performing a function checkout to

allow for heating of the compressor

crankcase. Failure to comply may

result in damage and could cause

premature failure of the system.
