This manual describes the installation of the central controller and wiring to the air conditioner. Refer to the

installation manual of the air conditioner. Carefully read item “1 Safety precautions to be observed without fail”

before installing the unit.

* Hazards and levels of danger that can occur due to incorrect handling are classified by the following symbols.

WARNING Incorrect handling can result in death, serious injury, etc.

CAUTION Incorrect handling can result in injury or damage to the building or its contents.

* After reading this manual, keep in a handy place. When removing or repairing the unit, give this manual to the

installer. When the user changes, also give to the new user.

WARNING

CAUTION

Do not install the controller in a place

where flammable gas could leak.

If gas leaks and collects around the unit, it

may cause a fire or explosion.

Do not install this controller in a place

where the ambient temperature exceeds

40ºC (104ºF) or drops below 0ºC (32ºF),

also do not install in a place where it is

exposed to direct sunlight.

It may cause a deformation or malfunction.

Do not use this controller in an

abnormal environment.

If the controller is used in a place where there is

much oil (including machine oil), steam o

sulfide gas, the performance of the controlle

may deteriorate or parts may be damaged.

Ask your dealer or technical

representative to install.

If incorrect installation is done by a customer, it

may cause an electric shock, fire, etc.

Securely install the controller according

to the installation manual.

If installation is not correct, it may cause an

electric shock, fire, etc.

Securely install in a place which can

withstand the weight of the controller.

If it is not enough, the unit may fall and

cause an injury.

The electric work should be perform by

authorized personal according to the

installation manual.

ny lack of electric circuit or any deficiency

caused by installation may result in an

electric shock or fire.

Securely connect the wiring using the

specified cables and fix them so that the

stress from the cables is not applied to

the terminal connection sections.

If connection or fixing is not reliably

connected, it may cause heat generation, a

fire, etc.

Do not move and re-install the unit by

yourself.

If installation is not correct, it may cause an

electric shock, fire, etc.

our dealer or technical re

resentative.

Never modify or repair by yourself.

If the controller is modified or a repair is not

correct, it may cause an electric shock, fire,

etc.

Consult your dealer if repairs are necessary.

Do not install this controller in a place

where steam is generated such as

bathroom, kitchen, etc.

Avoid placing where water condenses on

the walls. It may cause an electric shock or

malfunction.

1 Safety Precautions to be Observed without Fail

This appliance must be earthed (grounded).

Make sure to install a protect earth(PE)/grounding line .

Do not connect the PE (grounding) line to gas or water

pipes, lightning conductors or telephone grounding lines.

Improper grounding may cause an electric shock.

CAUTION

Do not touch the PCB (Printed Circuit

Board) with your hand or a tool. Also do

not get dirt on the PCB.

It may cause a fire or malfunction.

Do not touch the switches with wet hands.

It may cause an electric shock or

malfunction.

Do not press the switches with sharp

objects.

It may cause an electric shock or

malfunction.

Do not connect an AC power source to the

M-NET terminal blocks of this device.

It may cause a breakdown or fire.

Use specified wires corresponding to

the current capacity for wiring.

Otherwise it may cause power leakage, heat

generation or fire.

Perform wiring so the tension is not

applied.

If tension is applied, it may cause

disconnection, heat generation or a fire.

Do not wash this controller with water.

It may cause an electric shock or

malfunction.

Do not install this controller in a place

where an acid or alkaline solution,

special spray, etc. is used frequently.

It may cause an electric shock or

malfunction.

Note

●This diagram does not show

Only the configuration for the

transmission line is shown.

* Address setting for each M-NET device (The address cannot be duplicated.)

* The K transmission converter (PAC-SC25KAA) and OA processing unit (LOSSNAY) are not included in

systems shipped to North America (USA & Canada).

NOTE

* This system controller is designed as a main controller, not as a sub controller.

●Main system controller (main SC)

The main system controller is designed to control all units including the units that other system

controllers control. When there is only one system controller in a system, it will become the main

system controller. Group setting or interlock setting can be made only with the main system controller.

●Sub system controller (sub SC)

The sub system controller is designed to have its control area to be controlled by the main

system controller.

Control area of main SC

Control area of sub SC Group This system controller is designed as a main controller,

so it cannot be controlled by a main SC (such as

Gateway).

NOTE

* The following precautions will apply when using the K transmission converter (model: PAC-SC25KAA)

and controlling the M-NET model and K control model with the same controller.

Refer to the K transmission converter installation manual for details.

1) Central controller address

Always set the controller address to “00”.

(Refertosection .)

2) Central controller function selects

Always set the No.3 function selects of the controller to "ON".

(Refertosection .)

3) Indoor unit address

Set all M-NET model indoor units from the No.1 unit, and then set the K control model addresses.

Indoor unit No.1 unit – M-NET indoor unit max. address->K control indoor unit min. address – 50.

4) K control model group No.

The min. indoor address No. of that group becomes the group No. (Same for K control side local

remote controller.)
