Installing Weatherproof Cover: A weatherproof
while-in-use cover for the factory insta lled convenience
outlets is now required by UL standards. This cover

conveni ence outlet is cove red with a blank cover plate.
The weatherproof cover kit is shipped in the unit’s control
box. The kit includes the hinged cover, a backing plate
and gasket.

Non--powered type: This type requires t he 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
breake r requirements and disconnect switch size and
loca tion. Route 125--v power supply conductors i nto the
bottom of the utility box containing the duplex receptacle.
Unit--powered type: A unit--m ounted transformer is
fact ory--installed to step--down the main power supply
voltage to the unit t o 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 t hrough the unit’s control
box access panel. See Fig. 28.
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 a unit--mounted non--fused
disconnect or Heating, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration
(HACR) breaker switch; this will provide service power t o
the unit when the unit disconnect switch or HACR switch
is open. Other connection methods will result in the
conveni ence outlet circuit being de--energized when the
unit disconne ct or HACR switch is open. See Fig. 30.
