WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL
All wiring must be installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes. In Canada, all wiring must be installed in accordance with the Canadian Electrical Code and in accordance with the regulations of the authorities having jurisdiction. Power supply voltage must conform to the voltage shown on the unit serial plate. A wiring diagram of the unit is attached to the inside of the electrical cover. The power supply shall be sized and fused according to the specification supplied. A ground lug is supplied in the control compartment for equipment ground.
The unit rating plate lists a “Maximum Time Delay Fuse” or HACR type” circuit breaker that is to be used with the equipment. The correct size must be used for proper circuit protection and also to assure that there will be no nuisance tripping due to the momentary high starting current of the compressor motor.
CONTROL CIRCUIT WIRING
For split systems, the minimum control circuit wiring gauge needed to insure proper operation of all controls in both indoor and outdoor units will depend on two factors:
1.The rated VA of the control circuit transformer.
2.The maximum total distance of the control circuit wiring. (This is the distance between the wall thermostat to the indoor unit plus the distance between the indoor unit to the outdoor unit.)
The following table should be used to determine proper gauge of control circuit wiring required.

Example: 1. Control circuit transformer rated at 40 VA
2.Maximum total distance of control circuit wiring 85 feet.
From Table 6, minimum of 18 gauge wire should be used in the control circuit wiring.
For control circuit transformers rated other than those listed, use the next lower rated transformer listed.
Example: 1. Control circuit transformer rated at 55 VA
From table use 50VA transformer.
There are two (2) separate control diagrams for fossil fuel furnaces with air conditioners.
Control diagrams for the various circuit which could be encountered with blower coils can be found in the installation instructions of the blower coil.
