Do not bury more than 36 in. (914 mm) of refrigerant pipe
in the ground. If any section of pipe is buried, there must be
a 6 in. (152 mm) vertical rise to the valve connections on
the outdoor units. If more than the recommended length is
buried, refrigerant may migrate to the cooler buried section
during extended periods of system shutdown. This causes
refrigerant slugging and could possibly damage the
compressor at start--up.

WIRING
Power Wiring:
The main power is supplied to the outdoor unit. The field supplied connecting cable from the outdoor unit to indoor unit consists of three (3)
wires and provides the power for the indoor unit. Two wires are high voltage AC power and one is a ground wire.
Consult your local building codes and the NEC (National Electrical Code) or CEC (Canadian Electrical Code) for special requirements.
All wires must be sized per NEC or CEC and local codes. Use Electrical Data table MCA (minimum circuit amps) and MOCP (maximum
over current protection) to correctly size the wires and the disconnect fuse or breakers respectively.
Per caution note, only copper conductors with a minimum 300 volt rating and 2/64--inch thick insulation must be used.

Control Wiring:
A separate shielded copper conductor only, with a minimum 300 volt rating and 2/64--inch thick insulation, must be used as the
communication wire from from the outdoor unit to the indoor unit.
To minimize voltage drop of the control wire, use the following wire size and maximum lengths shown in the chart below.
