Safety Precautions

Outdoor Unit Wiring

WARNING

•  Be sure to disconnect the power supply 

before working on the unit.

•  All electrical wiring must be done 

according to local and national 

regulations.

•  Electrical wiring must be done by 

a qualified technician. Improper 

connections may cause electrical 

malfunction, injury and fire.

•  An independent circuit and single outlet 

must be used for this unit.  

DO NOT plug another appliance or 

charger into the same outlet. If the 

electrical circuit capacity is not enough 

or there is a defect in the electrical 

work, it can lead to shock, fire, unit and 

property damage.

•  Connect the power cable to the 

terminals and fasten it with a clamp. An 

insecure connection may cause fire.

•  Make sure that all wiring is done 

correctly and the control board cover is 

properly installed. Failure to do so can 

cause overheating at the connection 

points, fire, and electrical shock.

•  Ensure that main supply connection 

is made through a switch that 

disconnects all poles, with contact gap 

of a least 3mm (0.118”).

•  DO NOT modify the length of the 

power cord or use an extension cord.

WARNING

Before performing any electrical or wiring work, 

turn off the main power to the system.

TAKE NOTE OF FUSE SPECIFICATIONS

The air conditioner’s circuit board(PCB) is 

designed with a fuse to provide overcurrent 

protection. The specifications of the fuse are 

printed on the circuit board, such as:  

Outdoor unit: T20A/250VAC (for 

<24000Btu/h unit), T30A/250VAC (for 

>24000Btu/h unit)

Wiring

CAUTION

•  Connect the outdoor wires before 

connecting the indoor wires.

•  Make sure you ground the unit. The 

grounding wire should be away from 

gas pipes, water pipes, lightning rods, 

telephone or other grounding wires. 

Improper grounding may cause electrical 

shock.

•  DO NOT connect the unit with the power 

source until all wiring and piping is 

completed.

•  Make sure that you do not cross 

your electrical wiring with your signal 

wiring, as this can cause distortion and 

interference.

NOTE: The fuse is made of ceramic.
