    TECHNICAL CHANGE PK12FK PK12FK3 PK18FK PK18FK3 PK24FK PK24FK3 PK30FK PK30FK3 PK36FK PK36FK3 INDOOR CONTROLLER BOARD has changed. 1) From TRANSFORMER to POWER BOARD. 2) From JUMPER CONNECTOR(J1) to DIP SWITCH(SW1). 3) From JUMPER CONNECTOR(J5) to DIP SWITCH(SW5). 4) The number of switches of SW7 changed from 4 to 3 pieces.

  • Page 3: Features

    The PK series models have been downsized and now require such minimal wall space that they can even be installed above windows. For the PK12FK3, 11-13/16in of wall space between the ceiling and the window allows “above window” installation. (13-3/8in for the PK24/30/36FK3) 2.

    SYSTEM CONTROL 1. VARIETY OF SYSTEM CONTROL FUNCTIONS Many units, installed at different locations, can be started 1 Group control with and controlled with a single remote controller. The remote a single remote controller can be mounted in a different location using a controller non-polar two-wire cable, which can be extended up to (See page OC274-...
  • Page 45 2. GROUP CONTROL WITH A SINGLE REMOTE CONTROLLER A maximum of 50 units can be started in order according to the dip switch settings 2-1 How to wire Figure 1 (1) Connect the remote controller to the double terminal block on the indoor controller board of the master unit (No.0 unit).
  • Page 46 3. CONTROL USING TWO REMOTE CONTROLLERS Two remote controllers can be used to control either one unit or a group of units. Units operate according to the latest com- mand from either of the two remote controllers. Before operation, be sure to set one remote controller as the “main controller” and the other as the “sub controller”, using dip switch SW17-7 of the remote controller.
  • Page 47 NOTE1 : Install the relay box where you can be serviced it easily. NOTE2 : For control circuit wiring, use a wire of No. 14 AWG or a control cable according to the power supply of control circuit. NOTE3 : When the power supply of the control circuit is 115V AC, Do not connect the control circuit wire to the remote controller cable directly.
  • Page 48 6. MULTIPLE REMOTE CONTROL DISPLAY You can control several units with a multiple remote control display, by Indoor controller board wiring an optional multiple display adapter (PAC-SA88HA-E) with relays and lamps on the market. How to wire (1) Connect the multiple display adapter to the connector CN51 on the indoor controller board.
