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

CAUTION: After 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. (Refer to page 17)
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 func-
tion 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.
