7.3. Knockout hole for wiring
CAUTION
Seal the wiring route hole with duct seal (locally purchased) such that there are no
gaps.
Small insects or animals that are trapped in the outdoor unit may cause a short circuit
in the electrical component box.
Be careful not to deform or scratch the panel while opening the knockout holes.
After opening the knockout holes, remove burr on the edges to prevent damaging the
cables. It is recommended to apply rust proof paint on the edges to prevent rust.

7.4. Selecting power supply cable and breaker
CAUTION
Obtain the distribution network operator's agreement about the power capacity of the
power supply system, specification of the cable and etc. when you connect the outdoor
unit with the power supply.
Regulation of wire size and circuit breaker differs from each locality, please refer in ac-
cordance with local rules.
• Select the power cable type and size in accordance with relevant local and national
regulations.
• Make sure the specifications for local wiring power cable and branch wiring are in com-
pliance with local code.
• Select the correct cable type and size according to the country or region’s regulations.
• Use copper conductors only.
• Max. wire length: Set a length so that the voltage drop is less than 2%. Increase the wire
diameter when the wire length is longer.

• Be sure to use the sub-breaker.
• Select the main breaker capacity greater than the total of the capacity of the sub-
breaker.
Main-breaker ≥ Total of sub-breaker
(Refer to the table in item (1) for the sub breaker capacity)

CAUTION
Caution when wiring cable:
When stripping off the coating of lead wire, always use the exclusive tool such as a
wire stripper. If there is no exclusive tool available necessarily, carefully strip the coat-
ing by a cutter etc. so that the conductive wire is not damaged.
If it is damaged, it may lead to an open circuit and a communication error.
Pay attention to the following points while attaching wires on the terminal block.
• Do not attach 2 wires on one side.
• Do not twist wires.
• Do not cross the wires.
• Do not shorted at edge at root.
