Be sure to note the following points when running cables under the unit using conduit tubing.
(The pipe cover needs to be removed before performing piping and wiring.)
Tightly secure the power supply wiring using a cable clamp inside the unit.
NOTICE:
●
When installing the power supply wiring, use the field-supplied conduit tube as shown below.
Remove the rubber bushing from the unit for the conduit tubing installation.
●
When installing the communication cables, run them through the rubber grommet attached to the unit.
●
Maintain at least 5 inches (127mm) between the power supply wiring and communication cables.
●
Prevent cables from touching or rubbing up against refrigerant piping, plate edges, and electrical
components inside the unit.
7.4 Electrical Wiring Connections of Indoor Unit, Outdoor Unit, and Change-Over Box
(1) Connect a power supply wiring to each outdoor unit. Connect an optional Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI), fuse, and main switch (S) to each outdoor unit.
(2) Connect a power supply wiring to each indoor unit group and change-over box group connected to the
same outdoor unit. (Total operating current be less than 12A.)
Connect an optional Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI), fuse, and main switch (S) to each indoor
unit group.
(3) Connect the communication cable between indoor units, change-over boxes and outdoor units, as
shown in Figure 7.1.
(4) Connect the communication cables in the same refrigerant system unit. (If the refrigerant piping of
indoor unit is connected to the outdoor unit, also connect the communication cables to the same indoor
unit.) Connecting the refrigerant piping and communication cables to the different refrigerant systems
may lead to malfunction.
(5) Use communication cabling that is a minimum of
AWG18 (0.82mm
2
), 2-Conductor, Stranded Copper.
Shielded cable must be considered for applications and routing in areas of high EMI and other sources
of potentially excessive electrical noise to reduce the potential for communication errors. When
shielded cabling is applied, secure properly and terminate cable shield as required per Johnson
Controls guidelines. Plenum and riser ratings for communication cables must be considered per
application and local code requirements. (Do not use Tri-Core or anything beyond.)
