INTRODUCTION

The 24V Interface provides further flexibility, functionality and 

control allowing a single zone or a multi-zone ductless system to be 

controlled by any 3rd party single-stage conventional thermostat* 

keeping the Inverter compressor operating as a variable-speed system, 

making adjustments to maintain more consistent operation.

Additionally the 24V interface provides compatibility between a 

ductless single zone outdoor unit, an approved residential 

conventional fan coil and a 3rd party single-stage conventional 

thermostat*.

Features:

• Keeps the Inverter compressor operating as a variable-speed 

system

• One 24V Interface Kit per indoor head is required
• Rated for outdoor and indoor mounting
• 24V transformer built-in (for ductless applications)
• Dry mode contact for active dehumidification control (for ductless 

applications)

• Remote on/off contact
• Auxiliary heat control through the third party conventional 

thermostat**

• Diagnostic code display LEDs

Notes:

• *A conventional 5-wire thermostat is required.
• **A secondary output is necessary for auxiliary heat control

ACCESSORIES

The system is shipped with the following accessories (see Table 1). 

Use all of the installation parts and accessories to install the system. 

Improper installation may result in, electrical shock and fire, or cause 

the equipment to fail. Keep the installation manual in a safe place and 

do not discard any accessories until the installation has been 

completed.

EXPLOSION HAZARD

Failure to follow this warning could 

result in death, serious personal injury, 

and/or property damage.
Never use air or gases containing oxygen 

for leak testing or operating refrigerant 

compressors. Pressurized mixtures of air 

or gases containing oxygen can lead to 

an explosion.

WARNING

INSTALLATION

Entrust a licensed contractor to install the unit. Installation by
unskilled persons may lead to improper installation, electric
shock, or fire. Re-installation must be performed by authorized
professionals. Non-compliance may lead to electric shock or fire.

Wires must be properly sized according to the NEC/NFPA 70, CEC and all
prevailing codes, ordinances and standards.
All conductors must be installed with a strain relief eliminating stress on the
wire following installation which may result in wire damage and/or
overheating with a potential for fire.
Installation must be performed in accordance with the requirement of NEC
and CEC by authorized personnel only.
All wiring to be rated for the control box amperage rating.
All wiring installed to meet general industry standards and practices,
Do not install near flammable liquids or gases.
Do not operate the unit with wet hands, as this could lead to electrical shock.

WARNING

When connecting with RS 485 communication to the outdoor unit,
shielded wire must be used and grounded at one end only.
When using shielded wire the cable should be grounded at one end to
reduce EMI.
Return Air Temperature Sensor T1 cable shall not exceed 23ft (7m)
