A. ROUTE CONTROL WIRES — NON-COMMUNICATING
Install low voltage control wiring from outdoor to indoor unit and from
thermostat to indoor unit. All low voltage wiring must enter unit through
provided field-installed busing installed in electrical inlet.
Run 24VAC control wires through hole with grommet.
Make 24VAC control wire connections to heat pump control (A175).
NOTE — Do not bundle any excess 24VAC control wires inside control box.
NOTE — Wire tie provides low voltage wire strain relief and maintains
separation of field-installed low and high voltage circuits.
NOTE — For proper voltages, select control wires gauge per table below.

B. ROUTE CONTROL WIRES — COMMUNICATING
Maximum length of wiring (18 gauge) for all connections on the RSBus is 1500 feet (457 meters). Wires should be color-coded, with a temperature
º º
rating of 95 F (35 C) minimum, and solid-core (Class II Rated Wiring). All low voltage wiring must enter unit through provided field-installed bushing
installed in electrical inlet.
Communicating systems using the iComfort
dler control and four wires between the outdoor unit and the furnace/air handler control. When a thermostat cable with more than four wires is used,
the extra wires must be properly connected to avoid electrical noise (see illustration below).
Use a wire nut to bundle the four unused wires at each end of the cable. Each bundle should also include an additional wire that should be connected
on each end to the C terminal as shown in the figure below.

ROUTE HIGH VOLTAGE AND GROUND WIRES
Any excess high voltage field wiring should be trimmed and secured away from any low voltage field wiring. To facilitate a conduit, a
cutout is located in the bottom of the control box. Connect conduit to the control box using a proper conduit fitting.
