Installation SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

Read and follow manufacturer instructions carefully. Follow all local electrical codes during installation. All wiring must conform to local and national electrical codes. Improper wiring or installation may damage thermostat.

Understand the signal words DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION. DANGER identifies the most serious hazards which will result in severe personal injury or death. WARNING signifies hazards that could result in personal injury or death. CAUTION is used to identify unsafe practices, which would result in minor personal injury or product and property damage.

Recognize safety information. This is the safety-alert symbol ( ). When this symbol is displayed on the unit and in instructions or manuals, be alert to the potential for personal injury. Installing, starting up, and servicing equipment can be hazardous due to system pressure, electrical components, and equipment location.

GENERAL

The VRF (variable refrigerant flow) touch screen central controller is a wall-mounted, low-voltage controller that provides site-level control of multiple VRF systems. The controller allows central management of mode, setpoint, and scheduling of indoor units (IDUs).

The touch screen central controller is available for use with the VRF (variable refrigerant flow) outdoor units / systems listed in Table 1.

NOTES: 1. Changes or modifications of this product not expressly

approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

2. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference-in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at their own expense.

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

The controller should be mounted: at a location that allows easy access on a section of wall without water or drainage pipes The controller should NOT be mounted: near heat sources such as direct sunlight, heaters, dimmer

switches, and other electrical devices

INSTALLATION

Perform the following procedure to install the controller:

1. Turn off all power to the outdoor units, indoor units, and MDCs.

2. Control Wire: Use 16 to 20 AWG (American Wire Gage), stranded twisted pair shielded 2-core wiring (copper wire). Be sure the distance between the controller and the furthest outdoor units is not more than 3937 ft.

Field-Provided 24VAC Power Wire: Use copper wire rated for the current requirement shown in Table 3. Follow all applicable electrical codes.

3. For flush-mount installation, provide a 10-1/4" by 6-5/8" opening in drywall or mounting surface to accommodate the mounting box.

4. Pull all wires through drywall or surface opening, and then through knockout(s) in Mounting Box.

5. Install the Mounting Box (3) into the 10-1/4" by 6-5/8" opening in drywall or mounting surface making sure the box is flush with the wall surface. See Figure 3. Use the 6 short screws to fasten the plastic mounting box. Use plastic washers as needed for alignment and to prevent damage to components.

6. Install Mounting Plate: Make sure the metal hooks are facing upward. Attach the

mounting plate (2) onto the mounting box (3) using the four long screws (4) and four plastic washers. Do not overtighen the screws. See Figures 4 and 5.

WARNING

Electrical shock can cause personal injury and death. Before installing thermostat, shut off all power to this equipment during installation. There may be more than one power disconnect. Tag all disconnect locations to alert others not to restore power until work is completed.

CAUTION

Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment damage or improper operation. Improper wiring or installation may damage the thermostat. Check to make sure wiring is correct before proceeding with installation or turning on unit.

CAUTION

Over-tightening the screw will cause deformation to the rear cover and LCD damage.

7. Wire the Controller: Control Wire: Use 16 to 20 AWG (American Wire Gage), stranded twisted pair shielded 2-core wiring (copper wire). The controller has 6 central control bus (X/Y) lines. Each line can support up to 8 refrigerant systems and 64 indoor units, maximum. a. Using control wire, connect outdoor units X/Y central control bus terminals in a daisy chain configuration b. Connect the terminating end to the Central Controllers designated X/Y line (#1 through 6). c. For larger Heat Pump systems with dual or triple modules on a refrigerant system, wire X/Y daisy chain only to the

Header outdoor unit of each refrigerant system. See Figure 6.

Connect field-supplied 24VAC power (copper wire) to R and C terminals. Connect Ethernet to LAN where applicable.

SCHEDULE

The Schedule feature allows you to program the operation of the unit. If a unit must follow a certain schedule, you can program the unit to operate only at scheduled times. Scheduled units are not activated unless programmed to do so and are managed centrally. This can significantly reduce energy consumption.

Schedule Screen Composition and Features

Creating Schedules You can configure and add a schedule for a unit. 1. In the main menu, touch [Schedule]. 2. Touch [Add Schedule].

The Add Schedule window opens. 3. In the group list, touch a group for which a schedule is

applied. The selected unit is displayed in the applied unit area of the control command configuration.

4. Configure the schedule information that controls the unit.

NOTES: 1. When the central controller regulates several schedule

plans, the cooling setpoint for the outside air unit (50F- 61F) does not apply to other standard indoor units because the central controller protects against unsuitable temperatures.

2. After the central controller is powered on or restarted, the schedule will not be performed for the first three minutes. The time of the schedule will begin on the fourth minute.
