WIRING
All wires must be sized per NEC (National Electrical Code) or CEC
(Canadian Electrical Code) and local codes. Use the 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.
Recommended Connection Method for Power and 
Communication Wiring:
The main power is supplied to the outdoor unit. The field supplied
14/3 stranded wire with ground with a 600 volt insulation rating,
power/communication  wiring  from  the  outdoor  unit  to  indoor  unit
consists of four (4) wires and provides the power for the indoor unit.
Two  wires are line voltage AC power, one is communication wiring
(S)  and  the  other  is  a  ground  wire.  Wiring  between  the  indoor  and
outdoor  unit  is  polarity  sensitive.  The  use  of  BX  wire  is  NOT
recommended.
If installed in a high Electromagnetic field (EMF) area and
communication issues exists, a 14/2 stranded shielded wire can be
used to replace L2 and (S) between the outdoor unit and indoor unit
landing the shield onto ground in the outdoor unit only.

EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment damage
or improper operation.
Wires should be sized based on NEC and local codes.
CAUTION
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment damage
or improper operation. 
Be sure to comply with local codes while running wire from
the indoor unit to the outdoor unit. 
Every  wire  must  be  connected  firmly.  Loose  wiring  may
cause the terminal to overheat or result in unit malfunction. A
fire  hazard  may  also  exist.  Ensure  all  wiring  is  tightly
connected. 
No wire should touch the refrigerant tubing, compressor  or
any moving parts.
Disconnecting means must be provided and shall be located
within sight and readily accessible from the air conditioner.
Connecting cable with conduit shall be routed through the
hole in the conduit panel.
