One thing I always point out when it comes to "Code compliance" issues is that we are required to install the equipment per manufacturer's directions. I've had great luck with AHJs, by just copying sections of the manual and show them we're doing it the way it shows. One problem I see, is that the SQF is only CE listed( European Union), not UL or ETL, though.<div><br></div><div>Good Luck,</div><div><br><div><div> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><div>R.
