7. Installing the thermistors (mm)
Be sure to install the thermistors (gas and liquid) supplied with the unit as shown in the illustration.
•
If the thermistors are not installed, the unit will not operate. If the thermistors are installed incorrectly, the unit will not operate properly.
Take precaution so that condensation does contact the thermistor leads or enters the electrical devices.
Before installing thermal insulation to the frame connecting points of the indoor unit, be sure to install the thermistors according to the
procedures given on this page.
