WIRING
BEFORE PERFORMING ANY ELECTRICAL WORK, READ THESE
CAUTIONS.
1. All wiring must comply with local and national electrical Codes and Regulations
and must be installed by a licensed electrician.
2. All electrical connections must be made according to the Electrical Connection
Diagram located on the panels of the indoor and outdoor units.
3. If there is a serious safety issue with the power supply, stop work immediately.
Explain your reasoning to the client, and refuse to install the unit until the safety
issue is properly resolved.
4. Power voltage should be within 90-110% of rated voltage. Improper power
supply can cause malfunction, electrical shock, or fire.
5. Installation of an external surge suppressor at the outdoor disconnect is
recommended.
6. If connecting power to fixed wiring, a switch or circuit breaker that disconnects
all poles and has a contact separation of at least 1/8in (3mm) must be
incorporated in the fixed wiring. The qualified technician must use an approved
circuit breaker or switch.
7. Only connect the unit to an individual branch circuit. Do not connect another
appliance to that circuit.
8. Make sure to properly ground the air conditioner.
9. Every wire must be firmly connected. Loose wiring can cause the terminal to
overheat, resulting in product malfunction and possible fire.
10. Do not let wires touch or rest against refrigerant tubing, the compressor, or any
moving parts within the unit.
11. To avoid getting an electric shock, never touch the electrical components soon
after the power supply has been turned off. After turning off the power, always
wait 10 minutes or more before you touch the electrical components.
12. Make sure that you do not cross your electrical wiring with your signal wiring.
This may cause distortion, interference or possibly damage to circuit boards.
13. No other equipment should be connected to the same power circuit.
14. Connect the outdoor wires before connecting the indoor wires.
WARNING
BEFORE PERFORMING ANY ELECTRICAL OR WIRING WORK, TURN OFF THE
MAIN POWER TO THE SYSTEM.
