physical injury, or death.
• Multi F systems operate at 1Ø, 208-230V, 60Hz, and power is wired to the outdoor unit 
only. The outdoor unit will supply power to the indoor units and the branch distribution 
units (Multi F MAX systems only) through the communication / connection (power) cable. 
• Power supply to the outdoor unit must be selected based on NEC and local codes. Maxi-
mum allowable voltage fluctuation ±10% or nameplate rated value. 
• Power wiring to the outdoor unit(s) must be solid or stranded, and must comply with all 
local and national electrical codes.
• Properly ground the outdoor unit and indoor unit per NEC and local codes.
• Ground wire must be longer than the common power / communication wires.
• Connect the wiring firmly so the wires cannot be easily pulled out.
• Refer to the inside of the chassis cover or control cover for circuit and terminal block diagrams.
• Always match color codes of each wire and follow wiring diagram.
• 
Do not install power wiring to the outdoor unit and the communication / connection (power) cable to the indoor unit in the same conduit. 
Use separate conduits.
