bushing or a connector approved for the type of cord used.
4. Pull furnace power wires through 1/2--in. (12 mm) diameter
hole in J--Box. If necessary, loosen power wires from
strain—relief wire--tie on furnace wiring harness.
5. Connect field ground wire and factory ground wire to green
ground screw on J--Box mounting bracket as shown in
Fig.
36.
6. Connect power cord power and neutral leads to furnace
power leads as shown in
Fig.
38.
7. Attach furnace J--Box cover to mounting bracket with
screws supplied in loose parts bag. Do not pinch wires be-
tween cover and bracket. See
Fig.
36.

hole in casing and J--Box bracket.
3. Secure BX cable to J--Box bracket with connectors ap-
proved for the type of cable used.
4. Connect field ground wire and factory ground wire to green
ground screw on J--Box mounting bracket as shown in
Fig.
36
.
5. Connect field power and neutral leads to furnace power
leads. as shown in

tween cover and bracket.
FIRE, EXPLOSION, ELECTRICAL SHOCK, AND
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in dangerous
operation, personal injury, death, or property damage.
Do not drill into blower shelf of furnace to route control
wiring. Route any control or accessory wiring to the blower
compartment through external knockouts on the casing.
!
WARNING
24--V Wiring
Make field 24--v connections at the 24--v terminal strip. See
Fig.
39.
Connect terminal Y/Y2 as shown in Fig. 38 for proper cooling
operation. Use only AWG No. 18, color--coded, copper thermostat
wire.
NOTE
: Use AWG No. 18 color-coded copper thermostat wire for
lengths up to 100 ft. (30 M). For wire lengths over 100 ft., use
AWG No. 16 wire.
The 24--v circuit contains an automotive--type, 3--amp. fuse located
on the control. Any direct shorts during installation, service, or
maintenance could cause this fuse to blow. If fuse replacement is
required, use ONLY a 3--amp. fuse of identical size. See
Fig.
39.
Thermostats
A single stage heating and cooling thermostat can be used with the
furnace. The furnace control board CPU will control the furnace
and outdoor unit staging. A two stage heating and cooling
thermostat can also be used to control the staging. For two stage
thermostat control of the furnace staging, turn SW1-2 ON at the
furnace control board. For two stage thermostat control of a 2-stage
outdoor unit, remove the ACRDJ jumper from the furnace control
board. Refer to typical thermostat wiring diagrams and the
Sequence of Operation section for additional details. Consult the
thermostat installation instructions for specific information about
configuring the thermostat. See
Fig.
39 and 40.
Accessories
(See
Fig.
37 and 39.)
1. Electronic Air Cleaner (EAC)
Connect an accessory Electronic Air Cleaner (if used) using
1/4--in. female quick connect terminals to the two male
1/4--in. quick--connect terminals on the control board
marked EAC--1 and EAC--2. The terminals are rated for
115VAC, 1.0 amps maximum and are energized during
blower motor operation.
2. Humidifier (HUM)
The HUM terminal is a 24 VAC output, energized when the blower
is operating during a call for heat.
Connect an accessory 24 VAC, 0.5 amp. maximum humidifier (if
used) to the
¼
--in. male quick--connect HUM terminal and
COM--24V screw terminal on the control board thermostat strip.
NOTE
: If the humidifier has its own 24 VAC power supply, an
isolation relay may be required. Connect the 24 VAC coil of the
isolation relay to the HUM and COM/24V screw terminal on the
control board thermostat strip. See
Fig.
37.
3. Communication Connector
The furnace can only be controlled by a single or two--stage
thermostat. A Communicating User Interface will not oper-
ate this furnace when connected to the Communication
Connector. The Communication Connector on the furnace
control board is only for communication between furnaces
twinned together using a factory accessory twinning kit.
See
Fig.
39.
Alternate Power Supplies
This furnace is designed to operate on utility generated power
which has a smooth sinusoidal waveform. If the furnace is to be
operated on a generator or other alternate power supply, the
alternate power supply must produce a smooth sinusoidal
waveform for compatibility with the furnace electronics. The
alternate power supply must generate the same voltage, phase, and
frequency (Hz) as shown in
Table
11 or the furnace rating plate.
Power from an alternate power supply that is non-sinusoidal may
damage the furnace electronics or cause erratic operation.
Contact the alternate power supply manufacturer for specifications
and details.
