► Cautions for electrical work.
Warning:
• Always use dedicated circuits with breakers, and at the rated voltage.
Power supply circuits with insufficient capacity, and bad workmanship
during installation, may result in electric shock or fire.
Caution:
• Be sure to establish an earth. Do not earth the unit to a utility pipe,
arrester, or telephone earth.
Incomplete earth may cause electrical shock. A high surge current from
lightning or other sources may cause damage to the air conditioner.
• Use the specified electrical wiring and ensure that it is connected prop-
erly, and that it is not under tension.
Failure to follow these requirements may result in broken wiring, heating,
or fire.
► Before turning Branch Box on, be sure to set the switches.
► When power is separately supplied to the branch box and the outdoor
unit, turn on the branch box first.
► Wiring connecting branch box and outdoor unit, and branch box and
indoor units, functions as both power supply and signal cable. Connect
this wiring in accordance with the terminal block numbers to ensure
correct polarity.
► Connect refrigerant pipes and electrical wiring to the appropriate ports
marked with matching alphabets (Ex. A, B, C, D, E) on this unit. Incor-
rect wiring will interfere with the correct operation of the unit.
► Always fix each ground wire separately with a ground screw.
► To prevent that wiring installed in the ceiling is chewed by rats etc., it
should be installed in wiring conduit.
(1) Remove the electric cover. (Fig. 8-1)
() Pass the wiring into the branch box each wire in place with a wiring
clamp.
(3) Firmly connect each wire to the appropriate terminal block. (Fig. 8-8)
(4) Set dip sw. (Refer to 8.3)
(5) Replace the electric cover.

Wiring conduit of up to 1" OD may be used.
(1) When using 1" OD wiring conduit, remove the bush and fix to the branch box.
Remove the electric cover while fixing to the branch box.
() When using wiring conduit of 3/4" OD or smaller, notch the bush and insert the
wiring conduit approximately 100 mm into the branch box.
* Replace the electric cover when the wiring conduit has been fixed in place.
Caution:
To avoid excessive strain on the branch box, support the wiring conduit

with one or more support(s) 1.5 m or less from the branch box.
Refer to Fig. 8-7 as an example.
