Power Wiring
Power Wiring Connection Guidelines
Best practice dictates using ring or spade terminals to terminate power wiring at the power
terminal block
.
To Install a Ring Terminal:
1. Trim the strand wiring with wire cutters or pliers, then strip the insulation to expose the
strand wiring to about 3/8 inch.
2. Using a ring terminal fastener or pliers, securely clamp a ring terminal to each stripped
wire end.

• Multi V S systems operate at 1Ø, 208-230V, 60Hz
• Multi V indoor units operate at 1Ø, 208-230V, 60Hz. (Indoor units draw minimal power. Where permitted by National Electrical Code and
local codes, it may be prudent to connect multiple indoor units to a properly sized breaker.)
