Voltage Ports
NOTE: The communicating thermostat is able to search and iden-
tify the indoor and outdoor units when power is applied to the
system. Refer to the communicating thermostat’s installation
instruction manual for more information.
Connect low voltage communication wires (1, 2) to low voltage
pigtail provided.
THERMOSTAT WIRING
NOTE: A removable plug connector is provided with the control
to make thermostat wire connections. This plug may be removed,
wire connections made to the plug, and replaced. It is STRONGLY
recommended that you do not connect multiple wires into a
single terminal without mechanically twisting the tips together
with a set of pliers. Failure to do so may result in intermittent
operation.
Typical 18 AWG thermostat wire may be used to wire the sys-
tem components. However, communications reliability may be
improved by using a high quality, shielded, twisted pair cable for
the data transmission lines. In either case, 250 feet is the maxi-
mum length of wire between indoor unit and outdoor unit, or
between indoor unit and thermostat.
TWO-WIRE OUTDOOR, FOUR-WIRE INDOOR WIRING
Low voltage wiring consists of two wires between the indoor
unit and outdoor unit and four wires between the indoor unit
and thermostat. The required wires are data lines 1 and 2, “R”
(24 VAC hot) and “C” (24 VAC common).

STEP 1. CALCULATE REFRIGERANT CHARGE BASED ON LINE
SET LENGTH
The heat pump unit is shipped with a predetermined factory
charge level as shown below. For longer line sets greater than
15 feet, add 0.6 ounces of refrigerant per foot.
