7. ELECTRICAL WIRING

Before starting work, check that power is not being
supplied to the indoor unit and outdoor unit.
Match the terminal board numbers and connection cord
colors with those of outdoor unit or branch box unit.
Erroneous wiring may cause burning of the electric parts.
Connect the connection cords ¿rmly to the terminal board.
Imperfect installation may cause a ¿re.
Always fasten the outside covering of the connection
cord with the cable clip. (If the insulator is chafed, electric
leakage may occur.)
Always connect the ground wire.
(1) Use ring terminals with insulating sleeves as shown in the
¿ gure below to connect to the terminal block.
(2) Securely clamp the ring terminals to the wires using an
appropriate tool so that the wires do not come loose.
(3) Use the speci¿ ed wires, connect them securely, and fasten
them so that there is no stress placed on the terminals.
(4) Use an appropriate screwdriver to tighten the terminal
screws. Do not use a screwdriver that is too small, other-
wise, the screw heads may be damaged and prevent the
screws from being properly tightened.
(5) Do not tighten the terminal screws too much, otherwise,
the screws may break.
(6) See the table 1 for the terminal screw tightening torques.
