There may be situations where alternate wirings methods may need to be employed. Two options are available to address an inductive voltage issue. If Alert
Code 105 (see “Table 20. Service Alert Notication Codes” on page 45) is still present after following troubleshooting Steps 1 and 2 then proceed to Step 3
wiring options 2 or 3.
• Option 2 - Using shielded 2-conductor cable between the indoor, outdoor and thermostat -i and +i terminals may be required.
• Option 3 - Using unshielded 2-conductor cable between the indoor, outdoor and thermostat -i and +i terminals may be required.
NOTE: When using multi-conductor unshielded thermostat cable, refer to “Figure 5. Minimizing Electrical Noise” on page 6.
