ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
WARNING:
To avoid electric shock, personal injury, or death,
turn off the electric power at the disconnect or the
main service panel before making any electrical
connections.
• Electrical connections must be in compliance with
all applicable local codes and ordinances, and with
the current revision of the National Electric Code
(ANSI/NFPA 70).
• ForCanadian installations the electrical connections
and grounding shall comply with the current Canadian
Electrical Code (CSA C22.1 and/or local codes).
Pre-Electrical Checklist
√ Verify that the voltage, frequency, and phase of the
supply source match the specifications on the unit rating
plate.
√ Verify that the service provided by the utility is sufficient
to handle the additional load imposed by this equipment.
Refer to the unit wiring label for proper high and low
voltage wiring.
√ Verify factory wiring is in accordance with the unit
wiring diagram. See Figure 9 (page 19), Figure 10
(page 20), & Figure 11 (page 21). Inspect for loose
connections.
LineVoltage
• Itisrecommendedthatthelinevoltagetotheunitbe
supplied from a dedicated branch circuit containing the
correct fuse or circuit breaker for the unit.
• An electrical disconnect must be located within sight
of and readily accessible to the unit. This switch shall
be capable of electrically de-energizing the outdoor unit.
See unit data label for proper incoming field wiring. Any
other wiring methods must be acceptable to authority
having jurisdiction.
• Providepowersupplyfortheunitinaccordancewith
the unit wiring diagram, and the unit rating plate.
• Connecttheline-voltageleadstotheterminalsonthe
contactor inside the control compartment. Extend leads
through power wiring hole. See Figure 7. Connect L1 &
L2 directly to the contactor.
• Useonlycopperwireforthelinevoltagepowersupply
to this unit as listed in Table 1. Use proper code agency
listed conduit and a conduit connector for connecting
the supply wires to the unit. Use of rain tight conduit is
recommended.
• Seetheunitwiringlabelforproperhighandlowvoltage
wiring. Make all electrical connections in accordance
with all applicable codes and ordinances. See Figure
9, Figure 10, Figure 11, & Figure 12 (page 22).
CAUTION:
Label all wires prior to disconnection when
servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause
improperanddangerousoperation.Verifyproper
operation after servicing.

transformer operation. For 208V operation, remove the
lead from the transformer terminal marked 240V and
connect it to the terminal marked 208V.
Overcurrent Protection
Overcurrent protection must be provided at the branch
circuit distribution panel and sized as shown on the unit
rating label and according to applicable local codes.
Generally, the best fuse or breaker for any heat pump
is the smallest size that will permit the equipment to run
under normal usage and provide maximum equipment
protection. Properly sized fuses and breakers also prevent
nuisance trips during unit startup. If a fuse blows or a
breaker trips, always determine the reason. Do not
arbitrarily install a larger fuse or breaker and do not,
in any case, exceed the maximum size listed on the
data label of the unit.
