<Wiring Method and Address Settings>
a. Always use shielded wire when making connections between the outdoor unit (OC) and the indoor unit (IC), as well for all OC-OC, and IC-IC wiring intervals.
b. Use feed wiring to connect terminals M1 and M2 and the ground terminal on the transmission cable terminal block (TB3) of each outdoor unit (OC) to terminals M1, M2
and terminal S on the transmission cable block of the indoor unit (IC).
c. Connect terminals 1 (M1) and 2 (M2) on the transmission cable terminal block of the indoor unit (IC) that has the most recent address within the same group to the terminal
block on the remote controller (RC).
d. Connect together terminals M1, M2 and terminal S on the terminal block for central control (TB7) for the outdoor unit (OC).
e. The jumper connector CN41 on the control panel does not change.
f.
Connect the terminal S on the terminal block for central control for the power supply unit to the ground terminal (
g. Set the address setting switch as follows.

6.2. Control box and connecting position of wiring
(Fig. 6-1)
1. Connect the indoor unit transmission line to transmission terminal block (TB3), or
connect the wiring between outdoor units or the wiring with the centralized control
system to the centralized control terminal block (TB7).
When using shielded wiring, connect shield ground of the indoor unit transmission
line to the earth screw (
units and the central control system transmission line to the shield (S) terminal of
the centralized control terminal block (TB7) shield (S) terminal. In addition, in the
case of outdoor units whose power supply connector CN41 has been replaced
by CN40, the shield terminal (S) of terminal block (TB7) of the centralized control
system should also be connected to the ground (
2. Conduit mounting plates (ø37 [1-29/64 inch] - ø24 [15/16 inch]) are being provided.
Pass the power supply and transmission wires through the appropriate knock-out
holes, then remove the knock-out piece from the bottom of the terminal box and
connect the wires.
3. Fix power source wiring to terminal box by using buffer bushing for tensile force
(PG connection or the like).
