Issue:
DX evaporator heat tape thermostat location
Resolution:
Notes:
- The evaporator shell is insulated from ambient air and protected from freezing temperatures by a thermostatically controlled heat tape.
- Whenever the ambient temperature drops to approximately 37F, the thermostat energizes the heat tape.
- The heat tape will protect the evaporator from ambient temperatures down to -20F.
- The installation must provide an independent power source (115V 20Amp.) with a fuse disconnect. The heat tape is factory wired to the unit control panel, refer to the unit wiring schematics for specific terminal numbers.
