Follow all local and NEC (National Electrical Code) for
proper sizing of wire AWG based on Overcurrent
Protection Device selected and the length of the wiring run
to the air conditioner.
DANGER – SHOCK HAZARD
MAKE SURE THAT ALL POWER SUPPLY TO THE
UNIT IS DISCONNECTED BEFORE PERFORMING
ANY WORK ON THE UNIT TO AVOID THE
POSSIBILITY OF SHOCK INJURY OR DAMAGE TO
THE EQUIPMENT.
DANGER
WHEN USING NON-METALLIC
SHEATH CABLES (ROMEX, ETC.),
STRIP SHEATH BACK TO EXPOSE
4-6 INCHES OF THE SUPPLY LEADS.
STRIP THE INDIVIDUAL WIRE LEAD
ENDS FOR WIRE CONNECTION
(ABOUT 3/4" BARE WIRE). INSERT
THE SUPPLY WIRES INTO THE
ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR CLAMP.
SHEATH MUST PROTRUDE PAST
THE CLAMP BUSHING INSIDE THE
BOX AS ILLUSTRATED. MAKE SURE
SHEATH CABLE IS CENTERED IN
CLAMP BEFORE TIGHTENING UP
ON IT. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN!!
THIS COULD RESULT IN PINCHING
VII. INSTALLING THE OPTIONAL HEATER ACCESSORY
The optional Heater Accessory is intended to
take the chill out of the indoor air when the air
is a few degrees too cool for comfort. The
Heater Accessory is an effective "chill chaser".
It is not a substitute for a furnace.
NOTE
FIGURE 5
THROUGH THE PLASTIC WIRE
INSULATION AND CAUSE SHORTING
OR "HOT" WIRES TO GROUND
(SHOCK HAZARD). THE CLAMP IS
INTENDED FOR STRAIN RELIEF OF
THE WIRES. SLIGHT PRESSURE IS
USUALLY SUFFICIENT TO
ACCOMPLISH THIS.
IF OTHER THAN NON-METALLIC
CABLES ARE USED FOR SUPPLY
CONDUCTORS, APPROPRIATE
STRAIN RELIEF CONNECTORS MUST
BE USED. IN NO CASE SHOULD
CLAMPING OR PINCHING ACTION
BE APPLIED TO THE INDIVIDUAL
SUPPLY LEADS (NEUTRAL AND "HOT"
WIRES).
TO PREVENT THE POSSIBILITY OF
SHOCK INJURY, THE WHITE WIRE
MUST BE CONNECTED TO NEUTRAL
IN THE SERVICE BOX ENTRANCE
AND THE MECHANICAL GROUND
MUST BE CONNECTED TO A
GROUNDING LUG EITHER IN THE
SERVICE BOX OR THE MOTOR
GENERATOR COMPARTMENT.
If the heater option is being installed, mount the heater bracket
on the weld studs on the channels in the return air opening as
shown in Figure 5. Secure the bracket using the wing nuts
provided. The heater is then assembled to the heater bracket
lining up the weld studs on the heater with the holes on the
heater bracket. Secure the heater in place using wing nuts
provided (See Figure 6).
