10.5 Connect The Cable To The Outdoor Unit

1Remove Control Board Cover (Metal) by loosening 2 screws.

2Remove Valve Cover (Metal) by loosening 2 screws.

3Remove Plugs.

4Fix the conduit connectors to the knock out holes with lock-nuts, then secure them.

5Connecting wire between indoor unit and outdoor unit should be UL listed or CSA approved 4 conductor wires minimum AWG16 in accordance with local electric codes.

6Wire Connection to the power supply (208/230V 60Hz) through circuit breaker.

o Connect the UL listed or CSA approved wires minimum AWG12 to the terminal board, and connect to other end of the wires to circuit breaker.

7Connect the power supply cord and connecting wires between indoor unit and outdoor unit according to the diagram as shown.

8For wire stripping and connection requirement, refer to the diagram below.

9Secure the power supply cord and connecting cables onto the control board with the holder.

10Attach the control board cover (metal and resin) and valve cover back to the original position with screw.

This equipment must be properly earthed.

šEarth wire shall be Yellow/Green (Y/G) in colour and longer than other AC wires for safety reason.

10.6 Heat Insulation

Use a material with good heat-resistant properties as the heat insulation for the pipes. Be sure to insulate both the gas-side and liquid-side pipes. If the pipes are not adequately insulated, condensation or water leakages may occur.

Liquid-side pipes Material shall withstand 248°F or higher
