Loose wiring may cause the
WARNING
terminal to overheat or result
in unit malfunction. A fire
hazard may also exist. There-
fore, be sure all wiring is
tightly connected.
When connecting each power wire to the correspond-
ing terminal, follow the instructions "How to connect
wiring to the terminal" and fasten the wire securely
tight with the fixing screw of the terminal plate.
How to connect wiring to the terminal
a) For Indoor Unit
(1) Cut the wire end with a cutting pliers, then strip
the insulation to expose the wire about 7 mm. See
the label (Fig. 28) near the terminal plate.
(2) Using a screwdriver, loosen the terminal screw on
the terminal plate.
(3) Insert the wire and tighten the terminal screw
completely using a screwdriver.
b) For Outdoor Unit
� For solid core wiring (or F-cable)
(1) Cut the wire end with a cutting pliers, then strip
the insulation to expose the solid wire about
25 mm. (Fig. 29)
(2) Using a screwdriver, remove the terminal screw(s)
on the terminal plate.
(3) Using the pliers, bend the solid wire to form a loop
suitable for the terminal screw.
(4) Shape the loop wire properly, place it on the termi-
nal plate and fix it securely with the removed ter-
minal screw using a screwdriver.
� For stranded wiring
(1) Cut the wire end with a cutting pliers, then strip
the insulation to expose the stranded wiring about
10 mm and tightly twist the wire ends. (Figs. 30
and 31)
(2) Using a screwdriver, remove the terminal screw(s)
on the terminal plate.
(3) Using a ring connector fastener or pliers, securely
clamp each stripped wire end with a ring connec-
tor. (Fig. 30)
(4) Place the ring connector wire, and replace and
tighten the removed terminal screw using a screw-
driver. (Fig. 32)
