Safety Precautions
WARNING
•
Disconnect the power supply before doing
work on the unit.
• All wiring must be performed according to
all relevant local and national regulations.
• Wiring must be done by a qualified
technician. Improper connections may
cause electrical malfunction, injury, or fire.
• An independent circuit and single outlet
must be used for this unit.
DO NOT plug another appliance or
charger into the same outlet. If it cannot
handle the load or there is a defect in the
wiring, it can lead to shock, fire, and unit
and property damage.
• Connect the power cable to the terminals
and fasten it with a clamp. An unsecure
connection may cause fire.
• Make sure that all wiring is done correctly
and that the control board cover is properly
installed. Failure to do so can cause
overheating at the connection points, fire,
and electrical shock.
•
Ensure that main power supply connection
is made through a switch that disconnects
all poles, with a contact gap of at least 3mm
(0.12").
DO NOT modify the length of the power
•
cord, or use an extension cord.
CAUTION
• Connect the outdoor wires before
connecting the indoor wires.
• Make sure you ground the unit. The
grounding wire should be located away
from gas pipes, water pipes, lightning rods,
telephone wires or other grounding wires.
Improper grounding may cause electrical
shock.
DO NOT connect the unit to the power
•
source until all wiring and piping is
completed.
Make sure that you do not cross your
•
electrical wiring with your signal wiring.
This may cause distortion and interference.
To prevent distortion when the compressor starts
(you can find the unit's power information on
the rating sticker),:
• The unit must be connected to the main
outlet. Normally, the power supply must
have an impedance of 32 ohms.
• No other equipment should be connected
to the same power circuit.
TAKE NOTE OF FUSE SPECIFICATIONS
The air conditioner's printed circuit board (PCB)
is designed with a fuse that provides overcurrent
protection. The specifications of the fuse are
printed on the circuit board, examples of such
are T5A/250VAC and T10A/250VAC.
