WIRED CONTROLLER INSTALLATION PRECAUTION

  1. This manual provides the wired controller installation method.
    Refer to the wiring diagram in this installation manual to wire the wired controller with the indoor unit.

  2. The wired controller works in a low voltage loop circuit. Do not connect directly to 208/230V and 460V. Do not wire this kind of wire into a loop. Wiring clearance between the configured tubes should range 11.81−19.69 inches (30−50 cm) or above.

  3. The shielded wire of the wired controller must be properly grounded.

  4. Upon finishing the wired controller connection, do not employ tramegger to detect the insulation.

  4. Wired controller upper part Remove
    Insert a flat screwdriver into the slots in the lower part of the wired controller (2 places).
    Remove the upper part of the wire controller (Fig.3-4)
    NOTE: The PCB is mounted in the upper part of the wired controller. Be careful not to damage the board with the screwdriver.

  5. Fasten the wired controller back plate
    For surface mounting, fasten the back plate on the wall with the 3 screws (ST3.9×25) and plugs. (Fig.3-5) ● For switch box mounting, fasten the back plate on the switch box with 2 screws (M4x25) and fasten it on the wall with 1 screw (ST3.9×25). (Fig.3-6)Century KJR 120G1 TFBG E 01 Wired Controller -
screws NOTE: Place on a flat surface. Be careful not to distort the wired controller’s back plate by over−tightening the mounting screws.

  6. Battery installation ● Place the battery in the unit and ensure the positive side of the battery is in accordance with the polarity markings.(See Fig.3-7)
    ● Set the correct time before operating. Batteries in the wired controller can maintain the correct time during a power failure. When the power is restored and the displayed time is not correct, replace the battery.

  7. Wire the indoor unit
