3-1. CONNECTING WIRES FOR OUTDOOR UNIT
1) Remove the service panel.
2) Remove the conduit cover.
3) Attach the conduit connectors to the conduit plate with lock nuts then secure it against unit
with screws.
4) Connect the ground wires of indoor/outdoor unit connecting wire (A) and power supply cord (K)
to the TB support.
5) Loosen the terminal screws, then attach indoor/outdoor unit connecting wire (A) and power
supply cord (K) from the indoor unit correctly to the terminal block. Attach the wires to the
terminal block securely so that the cores cannot be seen, and no external force affects the
connecting section of the terminal block.
6) Firmly tighten the terminal screws. After tightening, verify that the wires are tightly fastened.
7) Install the conduit cover.
8) Install the service panel securely.
