7.2. Control box and connecting position of wiring
(Fig. 7-1)
1. Connect the branch box transmission line to transmission terminal block (TB3),
or connect the wiring between outdoor units or the wiring with the centralized
control system to the centralized control terminal block (TB7).
When using shielded wiring, connect shield ground of the branch box transmis-
sion line to the screw (E or F) and connect shield ground of the line between
outdoor units and the central control system transmission line to the shield (S)
terminal of the centralized control terminal block (TB7) shield (S) terminal. In
addition, in the case of outdoor units whose power supply connector CN41 has
been replaced by CN40, the shield terminal (S) of terminal block (TB7) of the
centralized control system should also be connected to the screw (E or F) using
attached lead wire.
2. Conduit mounting plates (ø27) are being provided. Pass the power supply and
transmission wires through the appropriate knock-out holes, then remove the
knock-out piece from the bottom of the terminal box and connect the wires.
3. Fix power source wiring to terminal box by using buffer bushing for tensile force
(PG connection or the like).
4. The terminal bed (TB1B) is for supplying power to the branch box (220
max 6A).
Caution:
Never connect the transmission line for the branch box or the central control
system transmission line to this terminal bed (TB1B). If the transmission
lines are connected, the indoor unit terminal block, branch box terminal
block or centralized control terminal block could be damaged.
