INSTALLATION

Installation Location

The 24V INTERFACE KIT

 

is rated for outdoor and indoor mounting 

(depending on the application). It is recommended that the kit 

installation be as close as possible to the indoor unit and the 

thermostat.

IMPORTANT: Follow the recommended clearances 

(see“CLEARANCES” on page 3) and install in an area 

above the ground away from locations where water could 

enter.

1. Remove the cover of the 

24V INTERFACE KIT.

 Remove the six 

screws of the 

24V INTERFACE KIT

 with a screwdriver or 

similar tool. Rotate the lid along the hem to disassemble.

Fig. 6 — Remove the cover

NOTE: Minimum free space required around the kit is 7"

(180 mm) for service purposes

2. Mount the 

24V INTERFACE KIT

 horizontally (see Fig. 7), by

fastening the back plate to the wall with 3 screws (M4x20) and

anchors.

NOTE: Place the unit on a flat surface. Be careful not to

distort the back plate of the 24V INTERFACE KIT by over

tightening the screws.

3.

WIRING

 - Based on the system used, wire the unit as described in 

“SYSTEM CONFIGURATION SCENARIOS” on page 4).

4. Cover the 

24V INTERFACE KIT

 lid, and lock back in place

using the six screws previously removed.

SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

NOTES:

• The thermostat should be configured for use with a as a single 

stage Cooling and Heating (DO NOT configure the thermostat as a 

Heat Pump).

• The wireless remote controller, wired controller KSACN and Wi-

Fi kits KSAIF cannot be used with this 24V interface Kit at the 

same time. The Swing and LED function may be accessed with 

the wireless remote controller.

Table 4 — Connection Wiring Specification

SYSTEM CONFIGURATION SCENARIOS

Based on the system, utilize the appropriate configuration scenario:

Scenario 1:

 Single Zone Ductless System with 38MPRA, 38MA*R, 

38MHR

Scenario 2:

 Single Zone Ductless System with 38MBR

Scenario 3:

 Multi-zone Ductless System with 38MGR

Scenario 4:

 Single Zone Fan Coils FMA/FMC/FMU with 38MA*R

Scenario 5:

 Single Zone Fan Coils FV4C with 38MA*R

Right

Wrong

DO NOT

 install the 24V INTERFACE KIT near flammable liquids or

gases such as gasoline or hydrogen sulfide. Doing so creates a fire hazard.

CAUTION

The 24V Interface kit cover has a directional arrow on the cover. In case
of an outdoor installation be sure to verify, during the mounting process,
that this arrow points 

UP

 upon installation. Failure to mount the kit

correctly can cause water ingress into the box which may compromise the
electrical component integrity.
