*5:  Provide a DC 12 to 24 V power supply. 

Select a power supply capacity with an ample surplus for the connected load.

*6:  The allowable current is 30 mA or less. 

Provide a load resistance such that the current becomes 30 mA or less.

*7:  Polarity is [+] for pin 1 and [-] for pin 2. Connect correctly.

Do not impress a voltage exceeding 24 V across pins 1-2.

*  A twisted pair cable (22 AWG (0.33 mm²)) should be used. Maximum length of cable is 

492 ft (150 m).

*  Use an external input and output cable with appropriate external dimension, depending 

on the number of cables to be installed.

6.6.4. Base heater terminal

This is the output signal for base heater. Output signal ON, when the outdoor temperature 
goes down below 32°F (2°C), and signal OFF at the outdoor temperature 39°F (4°C).

SETTING

CAUTION

Discharge the static electricity from your body before setting up the DIP switches.
Never touch the terminals or the patterns on the parts that are mounted on the PC 
board.

7.1.  Field setting switches

Remove the service panel of the outdoor unit and the cover of the electrical component 
box to access the PC board of the outdoor unit.
PC board switches for various settings and LED displays are shown in the figure.

7.2.  DIP switch setting

7.2.1. List of Settings

SET 5 must be set for the DIP switch.
Configure the settings before turn-
ing on the power. Settings for SET 
1, SET 2, SET 3 and SET 4 DIP 
switches are factory default ones. Do 
not change them.

7.2.2. Terminal resistor setting

CAUTION

Be sure to set the terminal resistor according to specifications.
Set the terminal resistor for every network segment (NS).

If terminal resistor is set in multiple devices, the overall communication system may be 
damaged.
If terminal resistor is not set in a device, abnormal communication may occur.

• Be sure to set 1 terminal resistor in a network segment. You can set the terminal resistor 

at the outdoor unit or signal amplifier.

• When setting the terminal resistor of a signal amplifier, refer to the installation manual of 

the signal amplifier.

• When setting multiple terminal resistors, take note of the following items.
(1)  How many network segments are there in a VRF system?
(2)  Where will you set the terminal resistors in a network segment? (Condition for 1 seg-

ment: Total number of outdoor and indoor units and signal amplifiers is less than 64, 
or the total length of the transmission cable is less than 500 m)

(3)  How many outdoor units are connected to 1 refrigerant system?

Configure the setting (DIP switch SET 5) 
of the terminal resistor of the outdoor units 
as shown below from conditions (1) to (3).

7.3.  Rotary switch setting

The rotary switch (REF AD) sets the refrigerant circuit address of the outdoor unit. Config-
ure the settings only on the master unit of a refrigerant system.
If multiple refrigerant systems are connected, set the rotary switch (REF AD) as shown in 
the table below.
