3.1 Main Power Wiring Procedures

Confirm that electrical power is not being supplied to the installation location prior to any electrical installation work. 1.Install the field-supplied main switch box at the properly-selected location. 2.Install conduit connectors in the hole for power wiring (knockout holes). 3.Lead the main power wires and the earthling wire through the connector to the screw terminals for main power and earthing in the magnetic switch box. The neutral wire to 380V and 415V power supplies should also be led through the connector. Firmly connect the wires with wire terminals to the unit screw terminals R(L1),S(L2) and T(L3) and also Mp(N) for 380V and 415V power supplies according to Fig. 6 or the wiring label attached to the magnetic switch box. A scroll compressor is equipped. Because that the rotation direction of the orbiting scroll of the HITACHI scroll type compressor is fixed, therefore a reversal phase protection is equipped in this unit. If each phase R,S or T of the power source is incorrectly connected, the compressor does not start due to the activation of the reversal phase protection device. Therefore, in order to check the correct wiring connection, the utilization of a phase sequence indicator is recommended when the unit is started after installation of the unit. Power Source (2) Do not operate the compressor by depressing the button of the magnetic switch for the compressor. A three-phase condenser fan motor is equipped, therefore, the fan motor rotation should be checked. Interchange two of the three main power source wires, if incorrect rotation is detected during initial start-up.

3.2 Control Wiring

Install the optional room thermostat at a suitable location in the space to be air-conditioned. Connect the control wires between the unit terminals and the thermostat terminals according to Fig. 6 or the wiring label. If a locally-supplied thermostat and switch are installed, connect the wiring according Technical Catalog .
