•  Follow local code and regulations to select the installation cables.
•  The maximum current value is used to calculate the size of the cables in line with European Standard EN60 
335-1.Usenormal,exiblecoatedneoprene(polychloroprene)cables(codeH05RN-F)withadiameternoless
than that indicated in the table.
•  The size of the earth wire must be in line with local code IEC 245, no. 571.
•  Use a shielded twisted pair cable or shielded pair cable with a diameter of over 0.75 mm

 (equivalent to KPEV-
S)  for  the  operation  wiring  between  the  outdoor  and  the  indoor  unit  and  for  operation wiring  between the 
indoor units.
•  Use a shielded twisted pair cable or shielded pair cable for communications between the indoor and outdoor 
units. Connect the shielding to the earthing screw in the indoor unit electrical box.
 
If  the  power  cables  are  connected  in  series,  use  the  maximum  current  value  and  select  the  cables  according  to  the 
following tables.
