    Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service, maintenance,
    or use can cause explosion, fire, electrical shock, or other
    conditions which may cause death, personal injury, or property
    damage. Consult a qualified installer, service agency, or your
    distributor or branch for information or assistance. The qualified
    installer or agency must use factory -- authorized kits or accessories
    when modifying this product. Refer to the individual instructions
    packaged with the kits or accessories when installing.
    Follow all safety codes. Wear safety glasses, protective clothing,
    and work gloves. Use quenching cloth for brazing operations.
    Have fire extinguisher available. Read these instructions
    thoroughly and follow all warnings or cautions included in
    literature and attached to the unit. Consult local building codes and
    National Electrical Code (NEC) for special requirements.
    Recognize safety information. This is the safety--alert symbol
    !!
    When you see this symbol on the unit and in instructions or
    manuals, be alert to the potential for personal injury.

    whichcouldresult in personal injury or death. CAUTION is used
    to identify unsafe practices whichmayresult in minor personal
    injury or product and property damage. NOTE is used to highlight
    suggestions whichwillresult in enhanced installation, reliability, or
    operation.
    !WARNING
    ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
    Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury
    or death.
    Before installing, modifying, or servicing system, main

    Fig. 1 – Condensate Pump
    On high wall fan coils, the condensate pump has a lift capability of
    18 ft (5.5 m) or the discharge side with the pump mounted in the
    fan coil or 6 ft (1.8 m) on the suction side if the pump must be
    remote mounted. The pump mounts inside the unit with quick
    plug--in connections, and 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.
    OUTDOOR UNITS
    LOW AMBIENT KIT
    The kit controls condenser fan cycling using a pressure switch. It is
    specifically designed to control fan--motor cycles in response to
    saturated condensing pressure. This device maintains a constant
    saturated condensing temperature of 100_F±10_F (37.78_C±
    --12.22_C) at outdoor--air temperatures between 55_F and --20_F
    (12.78_C±--12.22_C), and can be used on all outdoor units
    without changing the outdoor fan motor.
    CRANKCASE HEATER
    Available for units with rotary compressors. Heater clamps around
    compressor oil sump. Recommended for low--ambient applications
    on sizes 9, 12 , 18, 24 and long line applications.

    WIRING
    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.
    Voltage drop on the connecting cable should be kept to a minimum. Use cable size and max length below:
    18 AWG50 ft. (16 m)
    16 AWG100 ft. (33 m)

    Notes:
    1. Do not use thermostat wire for any connection between indoor and outdoor units.
    2. All connections between indoor and outdoor units must be as shown. The connections are sensitive to polarity.
    3. On the 18k and 24k units, the “S” terminal “CONTROL” output is pulse DC with a potential AC voltage shock hazard.
