9-3. DESIGN FOR CONTROL WIRING
Please note that the types and numbers of control wires needed by the Mr. SLIM MULTI-S series will depend on the remote
controllers and whether they are linked with the system.
9-3-1. Selection number of control wires
9-3-3. Remote controller wiring
9-3-2. Control signal wires
9-3-4. Permissible length of control wiring

noise-producing equipment such as frequency
modulation devices, electrical generators,
high-frequency medical apparatus, and
wireless communication apparatus, etc.
All places
120m or less
Suitable for single refrigerant system
120m or longer regardless of length
Multiple refrigerant system
Shielded wire CVVS,CPEVS
If the transmission distance is too long or if there is a source of noise close to an air conditioning unit, the noise problem can
be avoided by using shielded wire or moving the unit away from the source.
• The length of wire is 120m or longer.
• Air conditioning units used in hospitals, communications facilities, or office high-rises containing noise-producing equipment
such as frequency modulation devices, electrical generators, high-frequency medical apparatus, and wireless communication
apparatus.
