AnswerThe chart below can be used to guide your choice. It is recommended that you use 24 gage wire for power or double up 28 gage wires. Wire Count| Device / Configuration | Required Wire Count and Cable Suffix | | 9KW Power | 2 wires (54 suffix if power is doubled up, or 66 suffix with 4 unused 28AWG wires) | | 9KW w/ RQE | 4 wires (56 suffix if power is doubled up, or 66 suffix with 2 unused 28AWG wires) | | 45HW Power | 2 wires (54 suffix if power is doubled up, or 66 suffix with 4 unused 28AWG wires) | | IDH MAX | Always has 2 power wires and 2 data wires = 56 Suffix (if you double up the power wires) or 66 |
You will need a 2 additional 28AWG wires if the following sensors are called out on your model number: - RQE
- DS
- LS.
- IDH* is a sensor option that would require 4 additional 28AWG wires)
*IDH = a sensor option for 45HW that adds both RQE and DS. |
