• All power wiring and communication cable installation must be performed by authorized service providers working in accordance with local,
state, and National Electrical Code (NEC) federal regulations related to electrical equipment and wiring, and following the manufacturer
product diagrams, requirements, and instructions in this manual. Failure to do so will lead to electric shock which can cause physical injury
or death.
• Verify that main power to the unit is completely off before proceeding. Follow all safety and warning information outlined at the beginning of
this manual. Failure to do so will cause electric shock and bodily injury or death.
• Install a main shutoff switch or circuit breaker that interrupts all power sources simultaneously (circuit breaker must be resistant to elec-
tromagnetic currents). Be sure that the circuit breaker or some other emergency power cutoff device is in place before any power wiring is
done to the system. Failure to do so will cause bodily injury or death.
• Never touch any power lines or live cables before all power is cutoff to the system. To do so, will cause bodily injury or death.
• Power wiring and communication cable sizes must comply with all applicable federal, state, and local codes. Undersized wiring will lead to
unacceptable voltage at the unit and will cause a fire, which will cause bodily injury or death.
• Properly ground the outdoor, indoor, and branch distribution units (Multi F MAX with or without LGRED systems only). Ground wiring is
required to prevent accidental electrical shock during current leakage.
• Verify that the circuit breaker is set to OFF before installing the wiring system. Electric shock can cause physical injury or death.
• Install appropriately sized breakers / fuses / overcurrent protection switches and wiring in accordance with local, state, and NEC regulations
related to electrical equipment and wiring, and following the instructions in this manual. Using an oversized breaker or fuse will result in fire,
electric shock, physical injury or death.
• Do not connect ground wire to refrigerant, gas, or water piping; to lightning rods; to telephone ground wiring; or to the building plumb-
ing system. Failure to properly provide a NEC-approved earth ground can result in electric shock, fire, physical injury or death.
• Consider ambient conditions (temperature, direct sunlight, inclement weather, etc.) when selecting, installing, and connecting the power wiring.
• Properly ground the outdoor, indoor, and branch distribution units (Multi F MAX with or without LGRED systems only). Improperly connected
ground wire can cause communication problems from electrical noise and motor current leakage. Ground wiring must always be installed by a
• Install appropriately sized breakers / fuses / overcurrent protection switches and wiring in accordance with local, state, and NEC regulations
related to electrical equipment and wiring, and following the instructions in this manual. Generated overcurrent will include some amount of
direct current. Using an oversized breaker or fuse will result in equipment malfunction and property damage.
• Do not connect ground wire to refrigerant, gas, or water piping; to lightning rods; to telephone ground wiring; or to the building plumbing
system. Failure to properly provide a NEC-approved earth ground can result in property damage and equipment malfunction.
• Do not operate the air conditioning system until the refrigerant piping installation is complete. Operating the system before refrigerant
piping is finalized will damage the compressor.
