Type| Sheathed vinyl cord or cable (2 wires)
Section| 0.75~1.25 mm2
Maximum length| 500 m

Installation

Mounting the Controller

Before you can mount the controller, you have to determine the wiring routing, and accordingly, remove a piece of the controller’s rear casing.
The wiring can be routed from the top, the rear, the left, or the bottom. Remove a piece of the rear casing according to the illustration:

1. a Wiring from the top
2. b Wiring from the left
3. c Wiring from the bottom

In case you are routing the wiring from the rear, you don’t have to remove anything.

To Mount the Controller

1. Take the screws and plugs from the accessory bag.
2. Mount the rear casing to a flat surface.

INFORMATION
If required (e.g. when mounting to a flush-mounted electrical installation box), mount the rear casing by way of the knockout holes.

NOTICE
When mounting the rear casing to a flush-mounted electrical installation box inside a wall, make sure that that wall is completely flat.
NOTICE
Be careful not to distort the rear casing by overtightening the mounting screws.

Connecting the Electrical Wiring

NOTICE
The wiring for connection is NOT included.
NOTICE
When wiring, run the wiring away from the power supply wiring in order to avoid receiving electric noise (external noise).

To Connect the Electrical Wiring
Connect controller terminals P1/P2 to indoor unit terminals P1/P2.

From the Top

From the Rear

From the Left

From the Bottom

Closing the Controller

CAUTION
Never touch the internal parts of the controller.
CAUTION
When closing the controller, be careful not to pinch the wiring.
NOTICE
To prevent damage, make sure the front of the controller is clicked into the rear casing securely.

To Close the Controller

1. Click the front of the controller into the rear casing.
   

Starting up The System

The controller gets its power from the indoor unit. It will start up as soon as it is connected. For the controller to be operable, therefore make sure the indoor unit is powered on.
Once the controller is powered, it will automatically start up. If it is the first and only controller that is connected to the indoor unit, it will automatically get designated as a “Normal” master controller.

INFORMATION
For more information on how to designate the controller to be of a different type (i.e. operable in “Normal”, “Alarm only”, or “Supervisor” mode, as master controller or as slave controller), see the installer and user reference guide.
