• A two (2) conductor wire for power (for each indoor unit).
• A two (2) conductor wire for communication / ground (for each indoor unit).
• Separate the power AT LEAST two (2) inches away from the communication /
ground wire (for each indoor unit).
• All wiring is still minimum 18 gauge, stranded, shielded, or unshielded as cited
above (for each indoor unit).
Multi F MAX Systems:
• All communication / connection (power) cable from the outdoor unit to the branch

• Insulation material as required by local code.
• Rated for continuous exposure of temperatures up to 140°F.
• Firmly attach the cable; provide slack but secure in a way to prevent external forces from being imparted on the terminal block.
