1.Connect the indoor unit transmission line to transmission terminal block (TB3), or connect the wiring between outdoor units or the wiring with the centralized con- trol system to the centralized control terminal block (TB7).

When using shielded wiring, connect shield ground of the indoor unit transmis-

sion line to the earth screw () and connect shield ground of the line between outdoor units and the central control system transmission line to the shield (S)

terminal of the centralized control terminal block (TB7) shield (S) terminal. In addition, in the case of outdoor units whose power supply connector CN41 has been replaced by CN40, the shield terminal (S) of terminal block (TB7) of the centralized control system should also be connected to the ground ().

2.Conduit mounting plates (ø27 [1-1/16 inch]) are being provided. Pass the power supply and transmission wires through the appropriate knock-out holes, then re- move the knock-out piece from the bottom of the terminal box and connect the wires.

3.Fix power source wiring to terminal box by using buffer bushing for tensile force (PG connection or the like).

<Wiring Method and Address Settings>

a.Always use shielded wire when making connections between the outdoor unit (OC) and the indoor unit (IC), as well for all OC-OC, and IC-IC wiring intervals.

b.Use feed wiring to connect terminals M1 and M2 and the ground terminal on the transmission cable terminal block (TB3) of each outdoor unit (OC) to terminals M1, M2 and terminal S on the transmission cable block of the indoor unit (IC).

c.Connect terminals 1 (M1) and 2 (M2) on the transmission cable terminal block of the indoor unit (IC) that has the most recent address within the same group to the terminal block on the remote controller (RC).

d.Connect together terminals M1, M2 and terminal S on the terminal block for central control (TB7) for the outdoor unit (OC).

e.The jumper connector CN41 on the control panel does not change.

f.Connect the terminal S on the terminal block for central control for the power supply unit to the ground terminal () in the electrical component box.

g.Set the address setting switch as follows.

Unit

Range

Setting Method

IC (Main)

01 to 50

Use the most recent address within the same group of indoor units

IC (Sub)

01 to 50

Use an address, other than that of the IC (Main) from among the units within the same group of indoor units. This must be

in sequence with the IC (Main)

 

 

Outdoor Unit

51 to 100

Use the most recent address of all the indoor units plus 50

* The address automatically becomes “100” if it is set as “01 - 50”.

 

 

M-NET R/C (Main)

101 to 150

Set at an IC (Main) address within the same group plus 100

M-NET R/C (Sub)

151 to 200

Set at an IC (Main) address within the same group plus 150

MA R/C

Unnecessary address setting (Necessary main/sub setting)

h. The group setting operations among the multiple indoor units is done by the remote controller (RC) after the electrical power has been turned on.

<Permissible Lengths>

1M-NET Remote controller

Max length via outdoor units: L1+L2+L3+L4 and L1+L2+L3+L5 and L1+L2+L6+L7 = 500 m [1640 ft] (1.25 mm2 [AWG16] or more)

Max transmission cable length: L1 and L3+L4 and L3+L5 and L6 and L2+L6 and L7 = 200 m [656 ft] (1.25 mm2 [AWG16] or more)

Remote controller cable length: r1, r2, r2 +r3,r4 = 10 m [33 ft] (0.5 to 1.25 mm2 [AWG20 to AWG16])

If the length exceeds 10 m [33 ft], use a 1.25 mm2 [AWG16] shielded wire. The length of this section (L8) should be included in the calculation of the maximum length and overall length.

2MA Remote controller

Max length via outdoor unit (M-NET cable): L1+L2+L3+L4 and L1+L2+L6+L7 = 500 m [1640 ft] (1.25 mm2 [AWG16] or more)

Max transmission cable length (M-NET cable): L1 and L3+L4 and L6 and L2+L6 and L7 = 200 m [656 ft] (1.25 mm2 [AWG16] or more)

Remote controller cable length:c1 and c1+c2 +c3 and c1+c2+c3+c4 = 200 m [656 ft] (0.3 to 1.25 mm2 [AWG20 to AWG16])
