Install flare nuts and follow standard flaring procedures. Use proper flaring tools for a leak proof connection. If a flared section is defective, cut it off and follow standard flaring procedures again. After cutting to length, creating the flares and before connecting the line set, clear all foreign materials by blowing nitrogen through copper tubing.
- Reinstall the handle. Connect the Cable to the Outdoor Unit For models: SMZ18H46ZOGX, SMZ24H46ZOCX and SMZ30H46ZOCX. 1. Remove cable knock-outs (A water tight cable strain relief or conduit is recommended here). 2. Remove screws to take off side panel.
Typical Electrical Wiring Connections Typical electrical wiring for the Dual and Quad Zone units. (Dual Zone units use “A” and “B” connections, Triple Zone units use “A”, “B”, “C” connections, Quad Zone units use “A”, “B”, “C” and “D” connections). Figure 15 Wiring identification labels are supplied with each outdoor unit.
