Loom access point
Remove plastic knockout from the backing plate.
Create a hole in the wall to access the wall cavity
for routing the loom from the indoor unit to the
controller.
Put on a at surface. Be careful not to distort
the back plate of the wired controller by over
tightening the mounting screws.
Battery installation (CR2032)
Keep batteries out of reach of children.
Swallowing may lead to serious injury
in as little as two hours, or death due to
chemical burns and potential perforation
of the oesophagus.
Slide the battery into the holder with the positive side facing up.
When rst turning on set up the time of day. If the system is exposed
to a power outage the battery will maintain the time of day. If the
displayed time is not correct once power is restored try replacing the
battery.

Setting up two controllers
Up to two controllers can be connected to the HA and HB terminals on
the indoor unit as shown.
From the factory all controllers are supplied with SW1
dip switch setting 1 OFF and dip switch setting 2
OFF. When conguring a second controller, two dip
switches on the rear of the second controller (SW1
location) must change to the ON position as shown.
Dip switch settings for the primary controller must
remain unchanged.
If two controllers are installed both are equal and
reect the same information, and operational changes can be done on
either controller. Wi-Fi control may be setup on one of the controllers
only. There is no polarity between HA and HB.

For conguration of multiple indoor units loom connection is polarity
sensitive and HA must connect to HA on all indoor units, the same
applies to HB. In group control there will be no error displayed on the
wired controller.
