1.
Prepare the cable for connection:
USE THE RIGHT CABLE
Please choose the right cable refer to "Cable types"
in page 25.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT CABLE SIZE
The size of the power supply cable, signal 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.
NOTE: In North America, please choose the right
cable size according to the Minimum Circuit Ampacity
indicated on the nameplate of the unit.
a. Using wire strippers, strip the rubber jacket from
both ends of cable to reveal about 40mm (1.57in)
of the wires inside.
b. Strip the insulation from the ends of the wires.
c. Using a wire crimper, crimp u-lugs on the ends of
the wires.
PAY ATTENTION TO LIVE WIRE
While crimping wires, make sure you clearly distinguish
the Live ("L") Wire from other wires.
WARNING
ALL WIRING WORK MUST BE PERFORMED
STRICTLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE WIRING
DIAGRAM LOCATED INSIDE OF WIRE COVER OF
THE OUTDOOR UNIT.
2.
Unscrew the electrical wiring cover and remove it.
3.
Unscrew the cable clamp below the terminal block
and place it to the side.
4.
Connect the wire according to the wiring diagram,
and firmly screw the u-lug of each wire to its
corresponding terminal.
5.
After checking to make sure every connection
is secure, loop the wires around to prevent rain
water from flowing into the terminal.
6.
Using the cable clamp, fasten the cable to the unit.
Screw the cable clamp down tightly.
7.
Insulate unused wires with PVC electrical tape. Arrange
them so that they do not touch any electrical or metal
parts.
8.
Replace the wire cover on the side of the unit, and scre
it in place
NOTE: If the cable clamp looks like the following, please
select the appropriate through-hole according to the
diameter of the wire.
Buckle
Three size hole: Small, Large, Medium
When the cable is not fasten enough, use the buckle to
prop it up, so it can be clamped tightly.
