10.1  Unit electrical wiring and connection
10.1.1  General check
1  Ensure that the eld-supplied electrical components (mains power switches, circuit breakers, wires, connectors and 
wire terminals) have been properly selected according to the electrical data indicated. Make sure that they comply with 
national and regional electrical codes.
2  Following the Council  Directive 2004/108/EC(89/336/EEC), relating  to electromagnetic compatibility, next table indi-
cates: Maximum permissible system impedance Zmax at the interface point of the user’s supply, in accordance with 
EN61000-3-11.

4  Check to ensure that the power supply voltage is within +/-10% of the rated voltage.
5  Check to ensure that power supply has an impedance low enough to warranty not reduce the starting voltage more 
than 85% of the rated voltage.
6  Check to ensure that the capacity of power supply is enough. If not, the compressor will be not able to operate because 
of abnormal voltage drop at starting.
7  Check to ensure that the ground wire is connected.
8  Connect a fuse of specied capacity.

king water pressure and the total absence of any water leak.
• Do not connect or adjust any wiring or connections unless the main power switch is OFF.
• Check  that  the  earth  wire  is  securely  connected,  tagged  and  locked  in  accordance  with  national  and  local 
codes.
• Be  sure  to use a dedicated  power  circuit  for  the  indoor  unit.  Never  use  a  power  circuit  shared by another 
appliance (Outdoor unit).
