Electrical — Low Voltage
Table 23, p. 17defines the size and combined total maximum length of low voltage wiring from the outdoor unit, to the indoor unit, and to the
thermostat.
Note: The use of color coded low voltage wire is recommended to simplify connections between the outdoor unit, the control, and the indoor
unit.
Note: The maximum total cable length for the entire comfort control communicating system is 500 ft. 18 AWG.

4. If a 3rd party condensate overflow switch is installed, it should be wired in series with R to the thermostat or connected to the External
Switch terminals on the AFC. See External Switch wiring section in the air handler Installer’s Guide.
5. Wire present only on Variable Speed Outdoor Units.
Note: Anti-oxidizing grease is supplied in the documentation package for use when making low voltage field wiring connections at the outdoor
unit. Apply grease to field wiring before installing wire caps to protect these connections from corrosion.
