E-20Checking correct groundingIf the power distribution circuit does not have an earth or the ground doesnot comply with specifications, an grounding electrode must be installed.The corresponding accessories are not supplied with the air conditioner.Select an grounding electrode that complies with the specifications given inthe illustration.Determine a suitable location for the grounding electrode: In damp hard soil rather than loose sandy or gravel soil that has ahigher grounding resistance Away from underground structures or facilities, such as gas pipes,water pipes, telephone lines and underground cables At least two metres away from a lightening conductor groundingelectrode and its cable12Finish wrapping insulating tape around the rest of the pipes leading to theoutdoor unit.3Install a green/yellow coloured grounding wire: If the grounding wire is too short, connect an extension lead, in amechanical way and wrapping it with insulating tape (do not bury theconnection) Secure the grounding wire in position with staples4Carefully check the installation, by measuring the grounding resistance witha ground resistance tester. If the resistance is above required level, drive theelectrode deeper into the ground or increase the number of groundingelectrodes.5Connect the grounding wire to the electrical component box inside of theoutdoor unit.6 The grounding wire for the telephone line cannot be used toground the air conditioner.NNNN oooo tttt eeee If the grounding electrode is installed in an area of heavy traffic,its wire must be connected securely.NNNN oooo tttt eeee50cmTerminal M4PVC-insulated green/yellow wireTogroundingscrewSteelcoreCarbonplastic30cm
