Hi CJ, Thanks for starting this amazing thread. Learned quite a bit going through this post! However I have run into a dilemma... So got a question for you about wiring. Real quick first a rundown of what I'm working with:
Senville Aura 18,000 btu (picked up in Compton new for $1350)
Model/SENA-18HF
(Electrical done so far/ > = installed)
Sub panel > 20amp 240v dedicated breaker > ac/disconnect > compressor > handler
Issue..
Sensor wire.
Question..
Do I need a special sensor wire (like stat wire) or can I just use an extra run of 12g/14g from air handler "S" terminal to condenser "S" terminal?
I called senville to ask a tech guy but was only able to get a hold of a sales guy who had no clue what a sensor wire was. Unit came with installation kit that had a 13' whip of 14/3. But this only gives me my power and ground to handler. All wiring diagrams show this wire hooked up but don't mention wire type. Chinglish instructions seem to be to blame here. Any and all help appreciated. If you need pics to make a diagnosis easier if I'm being unclear let me know and I'll add one asap. Happy memorial day weekend to you, your family and all the farmers out there.
