Use a shielded cable.
The communication protocol can be choosen from following two types. One of them is the conventional Superlink (hereinafter previous SL) and the other is the new Superlink
Ⅱ
(hereinafter new SL) . These two communication protocols have the following advantages and restrictions, so choose a desirable one meeting your installation conditions such as
connected indoor units and centralized control. When signal cables are connected into a network involving outdoor units, indoor units or centralized control equipment that do not
support new SL, select communications in the previous SL mode, even if the refrigerant system is separated from theirs.
(1) When one outdoor unit is used.
(3) The signal lines can also be connected using the method shown below.
○
Indoor and outdoor signal lines do not have a polarity.
Any of the connections in the following illustration can be made.

Address setting methods
The following address setting methods can be used. The procedure for automatic address setting is different from the conventional one.
Use the automatic address setting function after reading this manual carefully.
This control system controls the controls of more than one air-conditioner's outdoor unit, indoor unit and remote control unit through communication control, using the microcomputers built in
the respective controls. Address setting needs to be done for both outdoor and indoor units. Turn on power in the order of the outdoor units and then the indoor units.
Give a one-minute or longer interval for them.
The communication protocol can be chosen from following two types. One of them is the conventional communication protocol (previous SL) and the other is the new communication protocol (new
SL). These two communication protocols have their own features and restrictions as shown by Table 6-3. Select them according the indoor units and the centralized control to be connected.
When signal cables are connected into a network involving outdoor units, indoor units or centralized control equipment that do not support new SL, select communications in the previous SL mode,
even if the refrigerant system is separated from theirs.
When communication is established after setting addresses, check the communication protocol with the 7 segment display panel of the outdoor unit.

KXE4 series units, choose previous SL for the communication protocol and set addresses manually.
Since the models FDT224 and 280 have 2 PCBs per unit, set different indoor unit No. and SW on each PCB.
●
An outdoor unit No., which is used to identify which outdoor unit and indoor units are connected in a refrigerant system, is set on outdoor unit PCB and indoor unit PCB. Give the same outdoor unit
No. to all outdoor unit and indoor units connected in same refrigerant system.
●
An indoor unit No. is used to identify individual indoor units. Assign a unique number that is not assigned to any other indoor units on the network.

Turn on power in order from the outdoor unit to indoor units. Give a one-minute or longer interval for them. Unlike the procedure set out in (2) below, you need not change settings from the 7
segment display panel.
④
Make sure that the number of indoor units indicated on the 7 segment display panel agrees with the number of the indoor units that are actually connected to the refrigerant system.
(2) In the case of a multiple refrigerant systems installation
(Applicable to new SL only. In the case of previous SL, set addresses by manual setting.)
(This option is available when the interconnection wiring among refrigerant systems is on the outdoor side and new SL is chosen as the communication protocol.)
Address setting procedure
(perform these steps for each outdoor unit)
[STEP1]
(Items set before turning on power)
①
Outdoor unit address setting
Set as follows before you turn on power.
Set the
Outdoor Unit No. switch
to a number
00 - 31
. Set a unique number by avoiding the numbers assigned to other outdoor units on the network.
②
Indoor unit address setting
Set as follows before you turn on power.
Make sure that the
Indoor Unit No. switch
is set to
000 (factory setting)
Make sure that the
Outdoor Unit No. switch
is set to
49 (factory setting)
③
Isolate the present refrigerant system from the network.
Disengage the
network connectors (white 2P)
of the outdoor units. (Turning on power without isolating each refrigerant system will result in erroneous address setting.)
[STEP2]
(Power on and automatic address setting)
④
Turn on power to the outdoor unit
Turn on power in order from the outdoor unit to indoor units. Give a one-minute or longer interval for them.
⑤
Select and enter “1” in P31 on the 7 segment display panel of each outdoor unit to input “Automatic address start.”
⑥
Input a starting address and the number of connected indoor units.
Input a starting address in P32 on the 7 segment display panel of each outdoor unit.
⑦
When a starting address is entered, the display indication will switch back to the “Number of Connected Indoor Units Input” screen.
Input the number of connected indoor units from the 7 segment display panel of each outdoor unit. Input the number of connected indoor units for each outdoor unit. (You can input it from P33
on the 7 segment display panel.)When the number of connected indoor units is entered, the 7 segment display panel indication will switch to “AUX” and start blinking.
[STEP3]
(Automatic address setting completion check)
⑧
Indoor unit address determination
When the indoor unit addresses are all set, the 7 segment display panel indication will switch to “AUE” and start blinking.
If an error is detected in this process, the display will show “A
○○
.”
Check the 7 segment display panel of each outdoor unit.
Depending on the number of connected indoor units, it may take
about 10 minutes
before the indoor unit addresses are all set.
[STEP4]
⑨
Network connection
engage the network connectors
again.
⑩
Network polarity setting
After you have made sure that the network connectors are engaged
, select and enter “1” in P34 on the 7 segment display panel of
any outdoor unit (on only 1 unit)
to specify
network polarity.
⑪
Network setting completion check
ion is made from the 7 segment display panel or
3 minutes after.
①
Outdoor unit address setting
Set as follows before you turn on power. Upon turning on power, the outdoor unit address is registered.
Set
the Outdoor Unit No. switch to a number 00 - 31 [in the case of previous SL: 00 - 47]
.
Set a unique number by avoiding the numbers assigned to other outdoor units on the network.
②
Indoor unit address setting
Set as follows before you turn on power. Upon turning on power, the indoor unit address is registered.
Set
the Indoor Unit No. switch to a number 000 - 127 [in the case of previous SL: 00 - 47]
.
Set
the Outdoor Unit No. switch
to the outdoor unit No. of the associated outdoor unit within the range of
00 - 31 [in the case of previous SL: 00 - 47].
Set a unique number by avoiding the numbers assigned to other indoor units on the network.
③
Turn on power in order from the outdoor unit to indoor units. Give a one-minute or longer interval for them.
* When there are some units not supporting new SL connected in the network, set SW5-5 to ON to choose the previous SL communication mode.
In the case of previous SL, the maximum number of indoor units connectable in a network is 48.
Unless stated otherwise, the following procedures apply, when new SL is chosen for the communication protocol.
With new SL, you can set indoor unit addresses automatically even for an installation involving multiple refrigerant systems connected with same network, in addition to the conventional automatic
address setting of a single refrigerant system installation.
However, an installation must satisfy some additional requirements such as for wiring methods, so read this manual carefully before you carry out automatic address setting.

(Outdoor unit is another power source)
Note:
a) The method of laying cables has been determined pursuant to
the Japanese indoor wiring regulations (JEAC8001). (Please
adapt it to the regulations in effect in each country)
b) Wire length in the table left is the value for when the indoor unit
is connect to the power cable in series also the wire size and
minimum length when the power drop is less than 2% are
shown. If the current exceeds the value in the table above,
change the wire size according to the indoor wiring regulations.
(Please adapt it to the regulations in effect in each country)
c) For details, refer to the installation manual supplied with the
indoor unit.
d) Wires connected to indoor units are allowed up to 5.5 mm
