4. Unscrew the cable clamp below the termi-
nal block and place it to the side.
5. Facing the back of the unit, remove the
plastic panel on the bottom left-hand side.
6. Feed the signal wire through this slot, from
the back of the unit to the front.
7. Facing the front of the unit, match the wire
colors with the labels on the terminal
block, connect the u-lug and firmly screw
each wire to its corresponding terminal.
WARNING: DO NOT MIX LIVE
WITH NULL WIRES. THIS IS
DANGEROUS AND CAN CAUSE
THE AIR CONDITIONER TO
MALFUNCTION.
8. After checking to make sure all connec-
tions are secure, use the cable clamp to
fasten the signal cable to the unit. Screw
the cable clamp down tightly.
9. Replace the wire cover on the front of the
unit, and the plastic panel on the back.
NOTE ABOUT WIRING
THE WIRING CONNECTION PROCESS MAY
DIFFER SLIGHTLY BETWEEN UNITS.
Step 7: Wrap piping and cables
Before passing the piping, drain hose, and
signal cable through the wall hole, you must
bundle them together to save space, protect
them, and insulate them.
1. Bundle the drain hose, refrigerant pipes,
and signal cable according to Fig. 3.12
Signal wire Drain hose
DRAIN HOSE MUST BE ON BOTTOM
Make sure that the drain hose is at the bot-
tom of the bundle. Putting the drain hose at
the top of the bundle can cause the drain
pan to overflow, which can lead to fire or wa-
ter damage.
DO NOT INTERTWINE SIGNAL CABLE WITH
OTHER WIRES
While bundling these items together, do not
entangle or cross the signal cable with any
other cable.
2. Using adhesive vinyl tape, attach the drain
hose to the underside of the refrigerant
pipes.
3. Using insulation tape, wrap the signal wire,
refrigerant pipes, and drain hose tightly
together. Double-check that all items are
bundled in accordance with Fig. 3.12
DO NOT WRAP ENDS OF PIPING
When wrapping the bundle, keep the ends of
the piping unwrapped. You need to access
them to test for leaks at the end of the instal-
lation process (refer to the electrical leaking
checks section of this manual).
Step 8: Mount indoor unit
If you installed new connective piping to the
outdoor unit, do the following:
1. If you have already passed the refrigerant
piping through the hole in the wall, pro-
ceed to Step 4.
2. Otherwise, double-check that the ends of
the refrigerant pipes are sealed to prevent
dirt or foreign materials from entering the
pipes.
3. Slowly pass the wrapped bundle of refrig-
erant pipes, drain hose, and signal wire
through the hole in the wall.
4. Hook the top of the indoor unit on the up-
Space behind unit
per hook of the mounting plate.

5. Check that unit is hooked firmly on mount-
Insulation tape
ing by applying slight pressure to the left
and right-hand sides of the unit. The unit
Fig. 3.12 should not jiggle or shift.
