Warning:
In case of A-control wiring, there is high voltage potential on the S3 terminal caused by electrical circuit design that has no electrical insulation between power line
and communication signal line. Therefore, please turn off the main power supply when servicing. And do not touch the S1, S2, S3 terminals when the power is
energized. If isolator should be used between indoor unit and outdoor unit, please use 3-pole type .
* Affix a label A that is included with the manuals near each wiring diagram for the indoor and outdoor units.

Minimum circuit ampacity
Maximum rating of overcurrent protective device
*1. Max. 50 m, 165 ft
*2. The 10 m, 30 ft wire is attached in the remote controller accessory. Max. 1500 ft
*3. The figures are NOT always against the ground.
S3 terminal has DC 24 V against S2 terminal. However between S3 and S1, these terminals are NOT electrically insulated by the transformer or other device.
1.Wiring size must comply with the applicable local and national code.
2.Use copper supply wires.
3.Use wires rated 600V or more for the power supply cables and the indoor/outdoor unit connecting cables.
4.Install an earth longer than other cables.
