This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to

provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if

not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference

will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the

equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help

Scan the code to get the electronic manual.

5. Connect the adapter cable to the A/B terminals on the board of the electrical box. The A/B terminals are the same one to connect with wired remote controller

or IR receiver kit. There are two types of terminal blocks of indoor units with A/B terminals:

(1)The terminal blocks of PPIM-B**UFA1DQ and PCIM-B**UFA1DQ indoor unit are installed on the PCBA board, as shown in Figure (d).

(2)The terminal blocks of PCI-B**UFA1DQ and PPFC-B**UFA1DQ indoor unit are installed on the sheet metal parts of the electrical box, as shown in Figure (e).

※To avoid the cable being pulled out, the cable must be secured in the snap buckle.

If there is a snap buckle in the electrical box of the indoor unit, secure the cable in it, as shown in Figure (d).

If there is no snap buckle in the electrical box of the indoor unit, secure the cable in the snap buckle on the outside of the side panel of the indoor unit, as

shown in Figure (f).

6. There are two recommended methods for managing excess cable of the adapter:

(1) For installation on the PPFC-B**UFA1DQ indoor unit, the excess cable should be secured inside the unit as depicted in Figure (g).

a. Gather the excess cable through the indoor unit outlet and secure it with a cable tie.

b. Tape the secured cable to the inside of the side panel of the indoor unit.

(2) For installation on the PCI-B**UFA1DQ, PPIM-B**UFA1DQ, and PCIM-B**UFA1DQ indoor units, the excess cable should be fixed outside the unit as shown in

Figure (h).

a. Gather the excess cable on the exterior of the indoor unit outlet and secure it with a cable tie.

b. Tape the secured cable to a concealed area on the ceiling where it is not visible.
