The maximum length of the wiring between power supply unit for
transmission lines (on the transmission lines for centralized control) and
each outdoor unit and system controller is 200 m.
When 10 m is exceeded, use
cables with the same specification
as transmission cables.
Max length: 200 m

9.1. Power supply wiring
• Use dedicated power supplies for the indoor unit.
• Bear in mind ambient conditions (ambient temperature, direct sunlight, rain water, etc.) when proceeding with the wiring and connections.
• The wire size is the minimum value for metal conduit wiring. If the voltage drops, use a wire that is one rank thicker in diameter. Make sure the power-supply voltage
does not drop more than 10%.
• Specific wiring requirements should adhere to the wiring regulations of the region.
• Power supply cords of appliances shall not be lighter than design 60245 IEC 57, 60227 IEC 57, 60245 IEC 53 or 60227 IEC 53.
• A switch with at least 3 mm contact separation in each pole shall be provided by the Air conditioner installation.

Precautions on electrical wiring
Warning:
Electrical work should be done by qualified electrical engineers in accord-
ance with “Engineering Standards For Electrical Installation” and supplied
installation manuals. Special circuits should also be used. If the power
circuit lacks capacity or has an installation failure, it may cause a risk of
electric shock or fire.
1. Be sure to install an earth leakage breaker to the power.
2. Install the unit to prevent that any of the control circuit cables (remote con-
troller, transmission cables) is brought in direct contact with the power cable
outside the unit.
3. Ensure that there is no slack on all wire connections.
4. Some cables (power, remote controller, transmission cables) above the ceil-
ing may be bitten by mouses. Use as many metal pipes as possible to insert
the cables into them for protection.
5. Never connect the power cable to leads for the transmission cables. Other-
wise the cables would be broken.
6. Be sure to connect control cables to the indoor unit, remote controller, and
the outdoor unit.
7. Put the unit to the ground on the outdoor unit side.
8. Select control cables from the conditions given in page
11.
Caution:
• Be sure to put the unit to the ground on the outdoor unit side. Do not
connect the earth cable to any gas pipe, water pipe, lightening rod, or
telephone earth cable. Incomplete grounding may cause a risk of elec-
tric shock.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer,
its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a haz-
ard.
