4.  How to Install the Outdoor Unit

First refer to Section 2. Installation Site Selection.

The drain hole at the bottom of the outdoor unit was

not plugged at the time of factory shipment. If neces-

sary, plug the drain hole with the accessory drain cap

or mount the accessory drain elbow before installing

the outdoor unit. (Fig. 45a or 45b)

4-1.  Wiring Instructions for the Outdoor Unit

Regulations on wire size differ from locality to locality.

For field wiring requirements, please refer to your local

electrical codes. Make sure that the installation fully

complies with all local and national regulations.

(1) Remove access panel “C”. (Fig. 46)

(2) Connect the inter-unit wiring and power line

according to the drawing on the panel side.

(3) Be sure to size each wire allowing approx. 10 cm

longer than the required length for wiring. Store

excess wiring inside the cabinet.

(4) When connections are completed, check that all

connections are correct as shown in the wiring

system diagram on panel side.

(5) Be sure to ground the unit according to your local

codes.
