Please read this installation manual completely before installing the product. If the power cable is damaged, replacement 
work shall be performed by authorized personnel only. Installation must be performed in accordance with the NEC and CEC by 
authorized personnel only. All the pictures in the instructions are for explanation purposes only. The actual shape may vary. 
Contact an authorized service technician for repair, maintenance or installation of this unit. This appliance is not intended for 
use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, 
unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their 
safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. The design and specifications are 
subject to change without prior notice for product improvement. Consult with the sales agency or manufacturer for details. 

WARNING

 

 

 

 Strictly adhere to the instructions in this manual.  If the installation manual is not followed, it may cause water leakage, 
electrical shock, fire, death. Use the attached accessories parts and specified parts for the installation, otherwise, it will 
cause the unit to fail, water leakage, electrical shock, and possibly fire. Install at a suitable and firm location which is able 
to withstand the units weight. If the unit is mounted on an approved bracket, unit may drop and cause injury. For 
electrical work, follow all local and national wiring codes and these installation instructions. Use the proper size and type 
of cable and connect it tightly, clamp the cable so that no external force will be present on the terminal. If the connection 
or fitting is not tight, it may heat-up or could cause a fire at the connection. Wire routing must be properly arranged so 
that control board cover is properly fitted. If control board cover is not fitted perfectly, it may cause  the connection to 
heat up and could cause a fire or electrical shock. When installing the line set, take care not to let moisture or foreign 
substances other than the specified refrigerant go into refrigeration cycle. Otherwise, it will cause lower capacity, 
abnormal high pressure in the refrigeration cycle, possible explosion and injury. 

This equipment must be grounded and installed according to the NEC. It may cause electrical shock or damage to the 
system if not grounded properly. 
 
Do not install the unit in a location where leakage of flammable gas may occur. If flammable gas leaks and 
accumulates near the unit, it may cause a fire or explosion. 
 
This unit produces condensate. Install the drain piping as mentioned in the installation instructions. If drainage is not 
correct, water may enter the room and cause damage. 
 

This unit uses high voltage DC power. There are multiple capacitors within the unit that may contain dangerous 
power, even after the power supply has been disconnected.  

 
Refer any service to a qualified professional. See the DC4812VRF SERVICE MANUAL for service information.  
 

Capacitors MUST BE DISCHARGED before servicing any electrical components of this system!  
 
Batteries: Ma

ke sure to follow the NEC and instructions provided by the battery manufacturer when wiring, 

connecting, and grounding the battery plant. 
 

Charge Controllers

: Make sure to follow the NEC and instructions provided by the manufacturer. 

 

Solar Array: 

Follow the NEC and manufacturers instructions for mounting, connecting, and grounding solar power 

components.
