pulling the cable or when making the
connections.

• This manual provides the installation
instructions for this controller. Refer
to the included wiring diagram to con­nect the controller to the indoor unit.

• The controller uses low voltage. Keep
a minimum distance of 12” (305 mm)
between low voltage control wire and
high voltage power wires.

• Ground the shielded control wiring.

• Do not use a megger to test insula­tion.

• The controller cable length should not
