Sensor Connections and Wiring Requirements
Outdoor Air Sensor
This is a two screw terminal for connection to an X2658
outdoor temperature sensor. The Control takes no
action on the sensor status other than to communicate
the temperature to the RSBus network. Wiring distance
between the AHC and outdoor temperature sensor should
not exceed 200 feet when wired with 18-gauge thermostat
wire.
• Minimum temperature: -40ºF (-40ºC)
• Maximum temperature: 70ºF (158ºC)
Air Handler Control 9-Pin Connector (P8)
1. Air Handler (no electric heat) – Two wire factory
harness (wired to pins 7 and 8) which provides 230
VAC power to Air Handler Control.
2. Air Handler (with electric heat) – Eight wire factory
harness (all pin position are wired as noted in Table 6).

Wiring Connections
1. Install line voltage power supply to unit from a properly
installed circuit breaker.
2. Ground unit at unit disconnect switch or to an earth
ground.
NOTE:
Connect conduit to the unit using a proper
conduit fitting. Units are approved for use only with
copper conductors. A complete unit wiring diagram is
located on the back side of the unit’s access panel.
3. Install low voltage wiring from outdoor to indoor unit
and from thermostat to indoor unit.
