ELECTRICAL WORK
After the confirmation of the above conditions, prepare the wiring as follows:
1) Never fail to have an individual power circuit specifically for the air conditioner. As for
the method of wiring, be guided by the circuit diagram posted on the inside of control
cover.
2) The screw which fasten the wiring in the casing of electrical fittings are liable to come
loose from vibrations to which the unit is subjected during the course of
transportation. Check them and make sure that they are all tightly fastened. (If they
are loose, it could cause burn-out of the wires.)
3) Specification of power source.
4) Confirm that electrical capacity is sufficient.
5) See to that the starting voltage is maintained at more than 90 percent of the rated
voltage marked on the name plate.
6) Confirm that the cable thickness is as specified in the power source specification.
7) Always install an earth leakage circuit breaker in a wet or moist area.
8) The following would be caused by voltage drop.
Vibration of a magnetic switch, which will damage the contact point, fuse breaking, disturbance of the
normal function of the overload.

Electric safety regulations for the initial Installation
1. If there is serious safety problem about the power supply, the technicians should refuse to install
the air conditioner and explain to the client until the problem is solved.
2. Power voltage should be in the range of 90%~110%of rated voltage.
3. The surge protector and main power switch with a 1.5 times capacity of Max. Current of the unit
should be installed in power circuit. Ensure the air conditioner is grounded well.
4. The appliance shall be installed in accordance with national wiring regulations. Do not operate your
air conditioner in a wet room such as a bathroom or laundry room.
5. An all-pole disconnection device which has at least 3mm clearances in all poles, and have a leakage
current that may exceed 10mA, the residual current device(RCD) having a rated residual operating
current not exceeding 30mA, and disconnection must be incorporated in the fixed wiring in
accordance with the wiring rules.
6. For the unit adopts auxiliary electric heater, keep at least 1 meter away from the nearest combustible
materials.
7. According to the attached Electrical Connection Diagram located on the panel of the indoor & outdoor
unit to connect the wire. All wiring must comply with local and national electrical codes and be
installed by qualified and skilled electricians.
8. An individual branch circuit and single receptacle used only for this air conditioner must be available.
See the following table for suggested wire sizes and fuse specifications:
The wire size of power supply cord and
interconnected wire and the current of the fuse
or switch are determined by the maximum
current indicated on the nameplate which
located on the side panel of the unit. Please
refer to the nameplate before selecting the
wire size, fuse or switch.
The controller of the air conditioner designed
with a fuse protection function under abnormal
conditions, the specifications of the fuse have
printed on the circuit board, such as:
T3.15A/250VAC, T5A/250VAC, etc.
