Safety Precautions
Outdoor Unit Wiring
WARNING
• Be sure to disconnect the power supply before
working on the unit.
• All electrical wiring must be done according to
local and national regulations.
• Electrical wiring must be done by a qualied
technician. Improper connections may cause
electrical malfunction, injury and re.
• An independent circuit and single outlet must
be used for this unit. DO NOT plug another
appliance or charger into the same outlet.lf the
electrical circuit capacity is not enough or there
is a defect in the electrical work, it can lead to
shock, re, unit and property damage.
• Connect the power cable to the terminals and
fasten it with a clamp. An insecure connection
may cause re.
• Make sure that all wiring is done correctly and
the control board cover is properly installed.
Failure to do so can cause overheating at the
connection points, re, and electrical shock.
• Ensure that main supply connection is made
through a switch that disconnects all poles, with
contact gap of a least 3mm (0.118”).
• DO NOT modify the length of the power cord
or use an extension cord.
WARNING
Before performing any electrical or wiring
work, turn o the main power to the system.
CAUTION
• Connect the outdoor wires before connecting
the indoor wires.
• Make sure you ground the unit. The ground-
ing wire should be away from gas pipes, wa-
ter pipes, lightning rods, telephone or other
grounding wires. Improper grounding may
cause electrical shock.
• DO NOT connect the unit with the power source
until all wiring and piping is completed.
• Make sure that you do not cross your electrical
wiring with your signal wiring, as this can cause
distortion and interference.
Follow these instructions to prevent distortion
when the compressor starts:
• The unit must be connected to the main
outlet. Normally, the power supply must
have a low output impedance of 32 ohms.
• No other equipment should be connected
to the same power circuit.
• The unit’s power information can be found
on the rating sticker on the product.
TAKE NOTE OF FUSE SPECIFICATIONS
The air conditioner’s circuit board(PCB) is
designed with a fuse to provide overcurrent
protection. The specications of the fuse are
printed on the circuit board, such as:
Indoor unit: T5A/250VAC,T10A/250VAC. (ap-
plicable for unit adopts R32 refrigerant)
Outdoor unit: T20A/250VAC(for <24000Btu/h
unit),T30A/250VAC(for >24000Btu/h unit)
NOTE: The fuse is made of ceramic.
NOTE: While connecting the wires, strictly
follow the wiring diagram (found inside the
electrical box cover).
Indoor Unit Wiring
1. Prepare the cable for connection
a. You must first choose the right cable size
before preparing it for connection. Be sure
to use H07RN-F cables.
b. Using wire strippers, strip the rubber jacket
from both ends of a signal cable to reveal
about 15cm (5.9”) of the wires inside.
c. Strip the insulation from the ends of the
wires.
d. Using a wire crimper, crimp u-lugs on the
ends of the wires.
2. Remove the electric cover of the outdoor
unit. If there is no cover on the outdoor
unit, disassemble the bolts from the main-
tenance board and remove the protection
board. (See Fig. 8.1,8.2)

c. Using a wire crimper, crimp the u-lugs to the
ends of the wires.
2. Open the front panel of the indoor unit. Using
a screwdriver,remove the cover of the electric
control box on your indoor unit.
3. Thread the power cable and the signal cable
through the wire outlet.
4. Connect the u-lugs to the terminals.
Match the wire colors/labels with the labels on
the terminal block and firmly screw the u-lug of
each wire to its corresponding terminal. Refer to
the Serial Number and Wiring Diagram located
on the cover of the electric control box.
Magnetic ring (if supplied and packed with the
accessories)
Pass the belt
through the hole
of the Magnetic
ring to fix it on the
cable
3. Connect the u-lugs to the terminals
Match the wire colors/labels with the labels on
the terminal block and firmly screw the u-lug
of each wire to its corresponding terminal.
4. Clamp down the cable with the designated
cable clamp.
5. Insulate unused wires with electrical tape.
Keep them away from any electrical or metal
parts.
6. Reinstall the cover of the electric control box.
