Connecting the Wi-Fi interface

(For details on each system, see the relevant instruction manual.)
Turn off the breaker of the room air conditioner or the ATW unit before connecting the cable to the indoor unit.
Refer to the installation manual of each model for connecting instructions and details.
(1) The connecting cable connected to an indoor unit (CN105) should be mounted at the indoor unit or its vicinity.
When mounting the Interface unit inside an indoor unit, refer to the installation manual of the indoor unit. Do not mount the Interface unit inside the indoor unit, if not mentioned.
When mounting on the wall
The cable side of the interface unit should face downward.

• Mount the holder 6 on the wall so its mark for the cable faces downward.
• Insert the interface unit1 into holder 6 until it clicks.

Note: Tighten the upper and then the lower screws; adjust and level the holder 6 using the elongated hole for the lower screw.

When mounting on the outer side of the indoor unit

• Insert clip 7 into the holder 6 until it clicks.
• Insert the interface unit1 into holder 6 until it clicks.
  Note: When inserting the interface unit into the holder, align the cable of the Interface unit1 with the mark for the cable on the holder6.
  Otherwise, light leakage or degradation in appearance may result.

• Slip clip 7 over the edge of the corner box to fix the interface unit1.
  Note: Mount interfaces unit 1 on the underside of the indoor unit if it cannot be mounted on the side of the indoor unit.

Example of mounting on the left side of an indoor unit
Note: Interface unit 1 can also be mounted on the right side of the indoor unit.

• To check the LED indication after setup, remove interface unit 1 from the holder 6.

Run the connecting cable in the space on the back of the unit as shown in the above figure.
Tuck cabling away and secure it.
Note: Make sure that the connecting cable will not get caught on or between the installation plate and the wall, or between the indoor unit and the installation plate.
Failure to do so may cause damage to the connecting cable resulting in communication problems.

Mount in the same procedure for the room air conditioner. Please refer to “When mounting on the wall” on page 6.
(2) Turn on the breaker of the room air conditioner or the ATW unit and check that the LED indication of the Wi-Fi interface enters the initial state shown on right.
