Scenario No. 4 (cont):

WIRING
All wires must be sized per NEC (National Electrical Code) or CEC (Canadian Electrical Code) and local codes. Use Electrical Data table MCA (minimum circuit amps) and MOCP (maximum over current protection) to correctly size the wires and the disconnect fuse or breakers respectively. Per the caution note, only stranded copper conductors with a 600 volt insulation rating wire must be used. Separate power supplies are required for the OUTDOOR UNIT and the INDOOR UNIT. The field supplied 14/3 stranded wire with ground and a 600 volt insulation rating, power/communication wiring from the OUTDOOR UNIT to 24V INTERFACE KIT consists of four (4) wires and provides the power for the 24V Interface. Two wires are line voltage AC power, one is communication wiring (S) and the other is a ground wire. Wiring between the OUTDOOR UNIT to 24V INTERFACE KIT is polarity sensitive. The use of B X wire is NOT recommended. Auxiliary Heating: To energize an Auxiliary Heater, connect W2 on the thermostat directly to the an electric heat relay(s) (field supplied) and complete the circuit to the heater element(s).
The thermostat must be setup to use different heating priorities.

Key Considerations
The following steps should be taken when using this device with a conventional central air conditioning unit: · Indoor coil metering device (TXV/Piston) must be removed · 24V transformer in the interface module must be disconnected · Refrigerant charge amount may need to be adjusted, depending on
the pipe size and length, see the outdoor recharge instruction. · The maximum air flow should not exceed 400 CFM/Ton.
When the indoor air handler or furnace has its own 24VAC transformer, you must disconnect all four wires of the 24V Interface kit transformer (see Fig. 13).

FAN SPEED - Select Auto, Low Medium or High Airflow

For Ductless Systems (Scenarios 1-3) the Fan Speed defaults to AUTO. For Hybrid Solutions, see "Scenario No. 4:" on page 7. The fan outputs are G1 (1st), G1+G2 (2nd), and G1+G2+G3 (3rd). For the single fan speed only, G1 has to be connected.

Use the selection options provided to adjust the airflow supplied to meet the individual installation needs for such things as noise, comfort, and humidity removal.
