Step 6: Connect signal/power cable
WARNING:
Before performing any electrical or wiring work, turn off the
main power to the system.
WARNING:
Before performing electrical work, read these regulations:
1.
All wiring must comply with local and national electrical
codes, and must be installed by a licensed electrician.
2.
All electrical connections must be made according to the
Electrical Connection Diagram located on the panels of
the indoor and outdoor units.
3.
If there is a serious safety issue with the power supply,
stop work immediately. Explain your reasoning to the
client, and refuse to install the unit until the safety issue
is properly resolved.
4.
Power voltage should be within 90-100% of rated
voltage. Insuffi cient power supply can cause malfunction,
electrical shock, or fi re.
5.
When connecting power to fi xed wiring, install a surge
protector and main power switch with a capacity of 1.5
times the maximum current of the unit.
6.
When connecting power to fi xed wiring, a switch or
circuit breaker that disconnects all poles and has a
contact separation of at least 1/8in (3mm) must be
incorporated in the fi xed wiring. The licensed electrician
must use an approved circuit breaker.
7.
Only connect the unit to an individual branch circuit
outlet. Do not connect another appliance to that outlet
8.
Make sure to properly ground the outdoor unit. The
ground cable for the indoor unit shall be in the multi-
conductor cord that connects the outdoor unit to the
indoor unit.
9.
Every wire must be fi rmly connected. Loose wiring can
cause the terminal to overheat, resulting in product
malfunction and possible fi re.
10.
Do not let wires touch or rest against refrigerant tubing,
the compressor, or any moving parts within the unit.
The signal/power cable enables communication between the indoor and outdoor
units. You must fi rst choose the right cable size before preparing it for connection.

Choose the right cable size
The size of the power supply cable, fuse, and switch needed is determined by the
maximum current of the unit. The maximum current is indicated on the nameplate
located on the side panel of the unit. Refer to this nameplate to choose the right
cable, fuse, or switch.
Take note of fuse specifi cations
The air conditioner’s circuit board (PCB) is designed with a fuse
to provide overcurrent protection. The specifications of the fuse
are printed on the circuit board, for example: T3.15A/250VAC,
T5A/250VAC, etc.
1.
Prepare the cable for connection:
—
Using wire strippers, strip the rubber jacket from both ends of signal/
power cable to reveal about 40mm (1.57in) of the wires inside.
—
Strip the insulation from the ends of the wires.
—
Using wire crimper, crimp u-type lugs on the ends of the wires.
2.
Open the front panel of the indoor unit by loosening the screws according to
the picture in Fig. 11. This will provide enough space to connect the wiring.
3.
Open the wire box cover to connect the cable.
If a quick-connect cable is attached to the indoor unit's terminal block,
remove this cable and discard. This quick-connect cable is used in the
manufacturer production testing process.
