Connecting the Cables

Indoor
Connect the cable to the indoor unit by connecting the wires to the terminals on the control board individually
according to the outdoor unit connection. (Ensure that the color of the wires of the outdoor unit and the terminal No.
are the same as those of the indoor unit.)

CAUTION:
• The above circuit diagram is subject to change without notice.
• The earth wire should be longer than the common wires.
• When installing, refer to the circuit diagram behind the panel front of the indoor unit.
• Connect the wires firmly so that they may not be pulled out easily.
• Connect the wires according to color codes, referring to the wiring diagram.

CAUTION: If a power plug is not Main power source

used, provide a circuit breaker
between power source and the unit
Air Circuit Breaker
as shown by. Conditioner Use a circuit breake
or time delay fuse.

CAUTION: The power cord connected to the "A" unit should be selected according to

CAUTION: According to the confirmation of the above conditions, prepare the

wiring as follows.
1. Never fail to have an individual power circuit specifically for the air conditioner. As for the method of
wiring, be guided by the circuit diagram posted on the inside of control cover.
2. The screw which fasten the wiring in the casing of electrical fittings are liable to come loose from
vibrations to which the unit is subjected during the course of transportation. Check them and make
sure that they are all tightly fastened. (If they are loose, it could cause burn-out of the wires.)
3. Specification of power source.
4. Confirm that electrical capacity is sufficient.
5. See to that the starting voltage is maintained at more than 90 percent of the rated voltage marked on
the name plate.
6. Confirm that the cable thickness is as specified in the power source specification.
(Particularly note the relation between cable length and thickness.
7. Always install an earth leakage circuit breaker in a wet or moist area.
8. The following would be caused by voltage drop.
• Vibration of a magnetic switch, which will damage the contact point, fuse breaking, disturbance of the normal function
of the overload.
9. The means for disconnection from a power supply shall be incorporated in the fixed wiring and have
an air gap contact separation of at least 3mm in each active(phase) conductors.

 Operation

Jet cool mode operation

• While in heating mode or Fuzzy operation, the Jet Cool key cannot be input. When it is input while in the
other mode operation(cooling, dehumidification, ventilation), the Jet Cool mode is operated.
• In the Jet Cool mode, the indoor fan is operated super-high speed for 30 min. at cooling mode operation.
• In the Jet Cool mode, the room temperature is controlled to the setting temperature, 18°C.
• When the sleep timer mode input while the Jet Cool mode operation, the Jet Cool mode has the priority.
• When the Jet Cool key is input, the upper/lower vane is reset to those of the initial cooling mode and then
operated in order that the air outflow could reach further.

Jet heat mode operation

• While in cooling mode or Fuzzy operation, the Jet Heat key cannot be input. When it is input while in the
Heating mode operation (dehumidification), the Jet Heat mode is operated.
• In the Jet Heat mode, the indoor fan is operated super-high speed for 60 min. at Heating mode operation.
• In the Jet Heat mode, the room temperature is controlled to the setting temperature, 30°C.
• When the sleep timer mode input while the Jet Heat mode operation, the Jet Heat mode has the priority.
• When the Jet Heat key is input, the upper/lower vane is reset to those of the initial Jet heating mode and
then operated in order that the air outflow could reach under flow.
