1. Use copper conductors unless otherwise specified.
2. Ensure that the AC control wiring between the
controls and the unit's termination point does not
exceed three (3) ohms/conductor for the length of

the run.
N N o o t t e e : : Resistance in excess of 3 ohms per conductor
could cause component failure due to
insufficient AC voltage supply.
3. Be sure to check all loads and conductors for
grounds, shorts, and mis-wiring.
4. Do not run the AC low voltage wiring in the same
conduit with the high voltage power wiring.
5. Route low voltage wiring as per
