LineVoltage

• Awiringdiagramislocatedontheinsidecoverofthe

electrical box of the outdoor unit. The installer should

become familiar with the wiring diagram before making

any electrical connections to the outdoor 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.

• Line voltage to the unit should be supplied from a

dedicated branch circuit containing the correct fuse

or circuit breaker for the unit. Incoming ﬁeld wiring

and minimum size of electrical conductors and circuit

protection must be in compliance with information listed

on the outdoor unit data label. Any other wiring methods

must be acceptable to authority having jurisdiction.

• Theoutdoorunitrequiresbothpowerandcontrolcircuit

electrical connections. Refer to the wiring diagrams

(Figure 13, Figure 14, & Figure 15) for identiﬁcation and

location of outdoor unit ﬁeld wiring interfaces. Make all

electrical connections in accordance with all applicable

codes and ordinances.

• 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.

See the unit rating plate for minimum circuit ampacity

and maximum overcurrent protection limits.

• 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.

• 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.

• 208/230Voltunitsareshippedfromthefactorywired

for 230 volt operation. For 208V operation, remove the

lead from the transformer terminal marked 240V and

connect it to the terminal marked 208V.

2. Insert a light-gauge wire hook between the valve body

and the restrictor oriﬁce while being careful not to scratch

either part. Carefully remove the restrictor oriﬁce from

the valve body. See Figure 3 (page 4).

3. Check the actual size of the new oriﬁce. NOTE: The

size is stamped on its side. Do not use pin gauges to

measure the oriﬁce diameter.

4. Insert the new oriﬁce into the valve body, with the

rounded end facing into the valve. See Figure 2 (page

4).

CAUTION:

To prevent damage to the unit or internal

components, it is recommended that two

wrenches be used when loosening or tightening

nuts. Do not over tighten!

5. Realign the assembly nut on the valve body and hand

tighten both components. Mark a line on both bodies and

then tighten an additional ¼ turn using two wrenches.

The movement of the two lines will show how much the

nut is tightened.

ELECTRICAL WIRING

WARNING:

To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal

injury, or death, disconnect all electrical power

to the unit before performing any maintenance

or service. The unit may have more than one

electrical supply.

Label all wires prior to disconnection when

servicing the unit. Wiring errors can cause

improper and dangerous operation.

• All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. Inspect for loose connections. See Figure 13

(page 21), Figure 14 (page 22), & Figure 15 (page

23).
