Indoor Unit 

Installation

1.  O

pen front panel of the indoor unit.

2. 

Using a screwdriver, open the wire box cover 

on the right side of the unit. This will reveal 

the terminal block.

(For some units only)

Knock-out panel

NOTE:

For the units with conduit tube to connect the 

cable, remove the big plastic konck-out panel to

create a slot through which the conduit tube can 

be installed.

For the units with five-core cable, remove the 

middle small plactic knock-out panel to create 

a slot through which the cable can exit.

Use needle nose pliers if the plastic panel is too

difficult to remove by hand.

Screw

Cable clamp

 

3.

Unscrew the cable clamp below the terminal 

block and place it to the side.

4.

Facing the back of the unit, remove the plastic 

panel on the bottom left-hand side.

5.  Feed the signal wire through this slot, from 

the back of the unit to the front.

6.  Facing the front of the unit, connect the wire 

according to the indoor unit’s wiring diagram, 

connect the u-lug and firmly screw each wire

to its corresponding terminal.

 CAUTION

DO NOT MIX UP LIVE AND NULL WIRES

This is dangerous, and can cause the air 

conditioning unit to malfunction.

7. 

After checking to make sure every connection

is secure, use the cable clamp to fasten the 

signal cable to the unit. Screw the cable clamp 

down tightly.

8. 

Replace the wire cover on the front of the 

unit, and the plastic panel on the back.

DRAIN HOSE MUST BE ON BOTTOM

Make sure that the drain hose is at the bottom 

of the bundle. Putting the drain hose at the  

top of the bundle can cause the drain pan 

to overflow, which can lead to fire or water 

damage.

DO NOT INTERTWINE SIGNAL CABLE WITH 

OTHER WIRES

While bundling these items together, do not 

intertwine or cross the signal cable with any 

other wiring.

2.

 

Using adhesive vinyl tape, attach the drain 

hose to the underside of the refrigerant pipes.

3.

  Using insulation tape, wrap the signal wire, 

refrigerant pipes, and drain hose tightly 

together. Double-check that all items are 

bundled.

DO NOT WRAP ENDS OF PIPING

When wrapping the bundle, keep the ends 

of the piping unwrapped. You need to access 

them to test for leaks at the end of the 

installation process (refer to 

Electrical Checks 

 

and Leak Checks 

section of this manual).

 NOTE ABOUT WIRING

 

 

 

 

 

 

THE WIRING CONNECTION PROCESS MAY
DIFFER SLIGHTLY BETWEEN UNITS AND 
REGIONS. 

Before passing the piping, drain hose, and the 

signal cable through the wall hole, you must 

bundle them together to save space, protect 

them, and insulate them(Not applicable in 
North America).

1. 

Bundle the drain hose, refrigerant pipes, and 

signal cable as shown below:
