Hi all,
I did a search for this and found some similar posts but not quite what i was looking for. Im replacing my old carrier single pole contactor with one of the newer models, Im not sure about the wiring and was hoping you guys might be able to help. I have 2 main questions.
1. In its current state(if I'm looking at it correctly) on the old contactor the line side is on the left and set of contacts is to the top with the shunt at the bottom, on the NEW contactor if oriented with the stamped L1/L2 to the left side, the set of contacts will be on the bottom. does it matter if I rotate the new contactor and keep the contacts at the top so that the power lines go into the T1/T2 side and come out on the L1/L2 side or should I keep the l1/l2 on the left and move the line wires to match the new setup (contactor at bottom shunt at top)
2 second question where do I put the (2)red, (1)brown and (2)yellow wires that are sticking out the front the 2 red wires go down to the compressor, the brown wire and the inside(closer to the middle) yellow wire go to the control board below the contactor and the other yellow goes to the high pressure switch (i think) its a switch attached to a copper tubing at the bottom of the unit just not sure where to plug these guys into the contactor.
any help would be appreciated thank you
