NOTICE
The condensing unit rating plate lists pertinent electrical data
necessary for proper electrical service and overcurrent protec-
tion. Wires should be sized to limit voltage drop to 2% (max.)
from the main breaker or fuse panel to the condensing unit.
Consult the NEC, CEC, and all local codes to determine the cor-
rect wire gauge and length.
Local codes often require a disconnect switch located near the
unit; do not install the switch on the unit. Refer to the installa-
tion instructions supplied with the indoor furnace/air handler
for specific wiring connections and indoor unit configuration.
Likewise, consult the instructions packaged with the thermostat
for mounting and location information.

ROTECTION
The following overcurrent protection devices are approved for
use.
• Time delay fuses
• HACR type circuit breakers
These devices have sufficient time delay to permit the motor-
compressor to start and accelerate its load.

Condensing unit control wiring requires a nominal 24 VAC (+/- 6
VAC), 60 Hz, minimum 25 VA service from either the indoor or
optional outdoor transformer. Low voltage wiring for the con-
densing units depends on the thermostat used. The unit is de-
signed to work as part of a fully communicating HVAC system
utilizing the ComfortNet™, CTK0* thermostat, ComfortNet compat-
ible indoor unit, and up to four wires. The unit also has legacy 24
VAC inputs to support non-communicating systems. Route con-
trol wires through the low voltage port and terminate in accor-
dance with the wiring diagram provided inside the control panel
cover.

NOTE: If the condensing unit is wired in the communicating mode
together with the compatible communicating indoor unit and
thermostat, then the communicating thermostat is able to search
and identify the condensing unit when power is applied to the
system. Refer to the Installation Manual of the communicating
thermostat for more information.
