3.  Strip the leads of the communication cable wires ¼ in. Insert the four wires into the screw 

terminals. Make sure to match the color-coding of the four wires as shown on the screw 

terminal.

4.  Route the cable back into the wall so that the remainder left outside the wall fits behind the 

back plate. Mount the control panel back plate on the wall. Secure the back plate with the 

two retaining screws. 

5.  Install two pan head retaining screws in the back plate holes. Tighten the two screws to 

secure the back plate on the wall. 

6.  Mount the control panel cover over back plate and snap in place to secure. 

7.  After the Power Center is powered up the indoor control panel will automatically 

synchronize system information from the outdoor control panel then the indoor control 
panel is ready for operation. Note: If “Unit Mismatch” display on the indoor control panel 

you have the choice to download the system image from the outdoor control panel or 
upload system information from the indoor control panel to the outdoor control panel.
