NOTE: This table is provided as a guide only. Wire sizing may be regulated by local codes. Local inspection is
the final authority on wire sizing.
WARNING
Undersized wires can cause poor
equipment performance, equipment
damage, or fire. Consult the NEC, CEC or
a qualified electrician for proper wire size.
WARNING
To avoid personal injury, shock, or death,
be sure wiring to the unit is properly
grounded.
Wire size is important to ensure proper unit operation. The
size must be sufficient to carry the minimum circuit ampacity
listed on the unit serial data plate. Amana recommends
sizing the wires to limit the voltage drop to a maximum of 2%
from the main breaker or fuse panel to the outdoor unit.
Consult the NEC, CEC, and all local codes to determine the
correct wire gauge and necessary length of run for proper
wiring.
1. Route the power supply and ground wires through the
high voltage entrance in the unit. Connect the power
supply wires to the contactor. Connect the ground wire
to the ground lug.
2. Route the low voltage wiring through the low voltage
entrance in the unit. Connect the low voltage wires to
the terminal strip.
3. If an Amana approved room thermostat is not already
present, install one at a suitable indoor location. Con-
sult the instructions packaged with the thermostat for
mounting and location instructions. For field-supplied
low voltage wiring and connections, see the last section
of this manual.
4. Check all factory wiring connections to ensure none
were loosened during shipping and handling.
WARNING
To avoid personal injury, shock, or death,
open the electrical disconnect switch
before electrically connecting the unit.
Wiring must conform with National
Electrical Code (NEC) or Canadian
Electrical Code (CEC) and all local codes.
The wiring diagram for this unit can be found on the control
box cover. Refer to Figure 3 for field wiring connections.
