II Restrictions [1] Types and Maximum allowable Length of Cables
1. Wiring work
(1) Notes
1) Have all electrical work performed by an authorized electrician according to the local regulations and instructions
in this manual.
2) Install the control cable at least 5cm[1-31/32"] away from the power supply cable to avoid noise interference. (Do
not put the control cable and power supply cable in the same conduit tube.)
3) Provide class-D grounding on the outdoor (heat source) unit.
4) Run the cable from the electric box of the indoor or outdoor (heat source) unit in such way that the box is accessible
for servicing.
5) Do not connect the terminal block for transmission line to supply voltage of 208V or 230V. Doing so will damage
the electronic components on the terminal block.
6) Use 2-core shielded cables as control cables. (Marked with OK in the figure below) Use a separate 2-core control
cable for each refrigerant system. Do not use a single multiple-core cable to connect indoor units that belong to
different refrigerant systems. The use of a multiple-core cable may result in signal transmission errors and malfunc-
tions. (Marked with NO in the figure below)
(2) Control wiring
Different types of control wiring are used for different systems.
Refer to section "[4] An Example of a System to which an MA Remote Controller is connected - [6] An Example of a Sys-
tem to which both MA Remote Controller and M-NET Remote Controller are connected" before performing wiring work.
[Types and maximum allowable length of cables]
Control lines are categorized into 2 types: transmission line and remote controller line. Use the appropriate type of cables
and observe the maximum allowable length specified for a given system. If a given system has a long transmission line
or if a noise source is located near the unit, place the unit away from the noise source to reduce noise interference.
