Fig. 18 -- Weatherproof Cover Installation

Non--powered type: This type requires the field

installation of a general--purpose 125--volt 15--A circuit powered from a source elsewhere in the building. Observe national and local codes when selecting wire size, fuse or breaker requirements and disconnect switch size and location. Route 125--v power supply conductors into the bottom of the utility box containing the duplex receptacle.

Unit--powered type: A unit--mounted transformer is factory--installed to stepdown the main power supply voltage to the unit to 115--v at the duplex receptacle. This option also includes a manual switch with fuse, located in a utility box and mounted on a bracket behind the convenience outlet; access is through the unit’s control box access panel. See Fig. 17.

The primary leads to the convenience outlet transformer are not factory-- connected. Selection of primary power source is a customer--option. If local codes permit, the transformer primary leads can be connected at the line--side terminals on the unit--mounted non--fused disconnect or HACR breaker switch; this will provide service power to the unit when the unit disconnect switch or HACR switch is open. Other conne ction methods will result in the convenience outlet circuit being de--energized when the unit disconnect or HACR switch is open. See Fig. 19.

Duty Cycle: the unit--powered conveni ence outlet has a duty cycle limitation. The transformer is intended to provide power on an intermittent basis for service tools, lamps, etc; it is not intended to provide 15--amps loading for continuous duty loads (such as electric heaters for overnight use). Observe a 50% limit on circuit loading above 8--amps (i.e., limit loads exceeding 8--amps to 30 minutes of operation every hour).

If the thermostat contains a logic circuit requiring 24--v power, use a thermostat cable or equivalent single leads of different colors with minimum of seven leads. If the thermostat does not require a 24--v source (no “C” connection required), use a thermostat cable or equivalent with minimum of six leads. Check the thermostat installation instructions for additional features which might require additional conductors in the cable.

For wire runs up to 50 ft. (15 m), use no. 18 AWG (American Wire Gage) insulated wire (35_C minimum). For50to75ft.(15to23m),useno.16AWGinsulated wire (35_C minimum). For over 75 ft. (23 m), use no. 14 AWG insulate d wire (35_C minimum). All wire sizes larger than no. 18 AWG cannot be directly connected to the thermostat and will require a junction box and splice at the thermostat.
