13.1 Low Voltage Maximum Wire Length
Table 13.1 defines the maximum total length of low
voltage wiring from the outdoor unit, to the indoor unit,
and to the thermostat.
13.2 Low Voltage Hook-up Instructions
STEP 1 - Remove Coil and Blower panels by removing
the four fasteners on each panel and then pulling away
from the cabinet to remove.
STEP 2 - For Low voltage entry, drill a .5" diameter
hole size in side of blower cabinet at location shown on
illustration. A 3/8" bushing is supplied in the doc pack.
STEP 3 - Route control wiring to unit and Insert Low
voltage wiring.
Note: After the Low voltage wiring has been inserted
through the new hole, the hole must be sealed.
Note: If a side return kit is used, the Low voltage entry
must be on the opposite side of the air handler.
Note: When drilling access through cabinet do not
drill into any internal components. Remove internal
components before drilling through cabinet if possible.
Damage to the air handler or heater could result.
Note: Strain relief must be provided on the inside
of the air handler cabinet for the low voltage wiring.
Field supplied thermostat wires may be wire tied as a
