1.  Safety

NOTE: Use 18-gauge color-coded thermostat cable for 
proper wiring. Shielded cable is not typically required. 
Keep this wiring at least one foot away from large inductive 
loads such as Electronic Air Cleaners, motors, line starters, 
lighting ballasts and large distribution panels. 
Failure to follow these wiring practices may introduce 
electrical interference (noise) which can cause erratic 
system operation. 
All unused thermostat wire to be grounded at indoor unit 
chassis ground only. Shielded cable may be required if the 
above wiring guidelines cannot be met. Ground only one 
end of the shield to the system chassis.
