Installing, starting up, and servicing air--conditioning equipment
can be hazardous due to system pressures, electrical components,
and equipment location (roofs, elevated structures, etc.).
Only trained, qualified installers and service mechanics should
install, start--up, and service this equipment.
Untrained personnel can perform basic maintenance functions such
as cleaning coils. All other operations should be performed by
trained service personnel.
When working on the equipment, observe precautions in the
literature and on tags, stickers, and labels attached to the
equipment.
Follow all safety codes. Wear safety glasses and work gloves. Keep
quenching cloth and fire extinguisher nearby when brazing. Use
care in handling, rigging, and setting bulky equipment.
Read this manual thoroughly and follow all warnings or cautions
included in literature andattached to the unit. Consult local
building codes and National Electrical Code (NEC) for special
requirements.Recognize safety information. This is the

safety--alert symbol
in instructions or manuals, be alert to the potential for personal
injury.Understand these signal words: DANGER, WARNING, and
CAUTION. These words are used with the safety --alert symbol.
DANGER identifies the most serious hazards which will result in
. When you see this symbol on the unit and
severe personal injury or death.WARNING signifies hazards
which could result in personal injury or death. CAUTION is used
to identify unsafe practices which may result in minor personal
injury or product and property damage. NOTE is used to highlight
suggestions which will result in enhanced installation, reliability, or
operation.
!
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury or death.
Before installing, modifying, or servicing system, main
electrical disconnect switch must be in the OFF
position. There may be more than 1 disconnect switch.
Lock out and tag switch with a suitable warning label.
!
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment
damage or improper operation.
Do not bury more than 36 in. (914 mm) of refrigerant pipe
in the ground. If any section of pipe is buried, there must be
a 6 in. (152 mm) vertical rise to the valve connections on
the outdoor units. If more than the recommended length is
buried, refrigerant may migrate to the cooler buried section
during extended periods of system shutdown. This causes
refrigerant slugging and could possibly damage the
compressor at start--up.
WARNING
!
WARNING
EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could
result in death, serious personal injury,
and/or property damage.
Never use air or gases containing
oxygen for leak testing or operating
refrigerant compressors.Pressurized
mixtures of air or gases containing
oxygen can lead to an explosion.

On high wall fan coils, the condensate pump has a lift capability of
12 ft (3.6 m) on the discharge side with the pump mounted in the
fan coil or 6 ft (1.8 m) on the suction side if the pump is remote
mounted. The pump is recommended when adequate drain line
pitch cannot be provided, or when the condensate must move up to
exit.
NOTE: An external 115v power source will be required to run the
pump on unit sizes 9k and 12k.

WIRING
Recommended Connection Method for Power and Communication Wiring (To minimize communication wiring
ence)
Power Wiring:
The main power is supplied to the outdoor unit. The field supplied
connecting cable from the outdoor unit to indoor unit consists of
three (3) wires and provides the power for the indoor unit. Two
wires are high voltage AC power and one is a ground wire.
Consult your local building codes and the NEC (National
Electrical Code) or CEC (Canadian Electrical Code) for special
requirements.
All wires must be sized per NEC or CEC and local codes. Use
Electrical Data table MCA (minimum circuit amps) and MOCP
(maximum over current protection) to correctly size the wires and
the disconnect fuse or breakers respectively.
Per caution note, only copper conductors with a minimum 300 volt
rating and 2/64--inch thick insulation must be used.
Communication Wiring:
A separate shielded copper conductor only, with a minimum 300
volt rating and 2/64--inch thick insulation, must be used as the
communication wire from the outdoor unit to the indoor unit.
To minimize voltage drop of the control wire, use the following
wire size and maximum lengths shown in the chart below:
Wire Size
18 AWG50 (15)
16 AWG50 (15) to 100 (30)
Alternate Connection Method for Power and Communication
Wiring (May not prevent communication wiring interfer
The main power is supplied to the outdoor unit. The field supplied
connecting cable from the outdoor unit to indoor unit consists of
four (4) wires and provides the power and communication signals
for the indoor unit. Two conductors are for power wiring (L1/L2,
or L/N), one is a ground wire, and one is a DC communication
wire.

CAUTION
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment

S Use copper conductors only with a minimum 300 volt
rating and 2/64 inch thick insulation.
!
CAUTION
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment
damage or improper operation.
S Be sure to comply with local codes while running wire
from indoor unit to outdoor unit.
S Every wire must be connected firmly. Loose wiring
may cause terminal to overheat or result in unit
malfunction. A fire hazard may also exist. Therefore,
be sure all wiring is tightly connected.
S No wire should be allowed to touch refrigerant tubing,
compressor or any moving parts.
S Disconnecting means must be provided and shall be
located within sight and readily accessible from the air
conditioner.
S Connecting cable with conduit shall be routed through
hole in the conduit panel.
The main power is supplied to the outdoor unit. the field supplied
connecting cable from the outdoor unit to indoor unit consists of
four wires and provides the power for the indoor unit as well as the
communication signal between the outdoor unit and indoor unit.
Two wires are high voltage AC power (L1 and L2), one is a
ground wire, and one is a DC communication wire.
