The figures above are based on parallel lengths up to 328 feet long. For lengths in excess of 328 feet, the distances will have to be recalculated in
direct proportion to the additional line lengths involved.

If the power supply waveform continues to exhibit some distortion, the space between the power wiring and communication cable should be increased.
• Position the power wiring a minimum of two (2) inches away from the communication cables to avoid operation problems caused by electri-
cal interference. Do not run both in the same conduit.
• If it is necessary to run the power wiring and communication cable alongside each other and cannot be avoided, table below for minimum
recommended distances.

Do not bunch the power wiring and communication cables together.
•
Do not run the power wiring and the communication cable in the same conduit.

General Information
•
All power wiring and communication cable installation must be performed by authorized
service providers working in accordance with local, state, and NEC regulations related
to electrical equipment and wiring, and following the instructions in this manual.
•
Undersized wiring may lead to unacceptable voltage at the unit and may cause unit
malfunction and be a fire hazard.
•
Properly ground the water source unit and indoor units. Ground wiring must always be
installed by a qualified technician. Do not connect ground wire to refrigerant, gas, or
water piping; to lightening rods; to telephone ground wiring; or to the building plumbing
system. Failure to properly provide an NEC approved earth ground can result in equip
-
ment malfunction, property damage, electric shock, physical injury or death.
•
Install appropriately sized breakers / fuses / overcurrent protection switches and wiring in accordance with local, state, and NEC
regulations related to electrical equipment and wiring, and following the instructions in this manual. Generated overcurrent may
include some amount of direct current. Using an oversized breaker or fuse may result in equipment malfunction, property damage,
electric shock, physical injury or death.
•
Consider ambient conditions (temperature, direct sunlight, inclement weather, etc.) when selecting, installing, and connecting the
power wiring.
