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
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

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
To install the controller, perform the following procedure:
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 dry wall 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. Using control wire, connect outdoor units’ X/Y central control bus terminals in a “daisy chain” configuration;
connect terminating end to the Central Controller’s designated X/Y line (#1 through 6). 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).

8. Install the Controller:
After wiring, install the controller (1) onto the mounting
plate. Position the holes over the metal hooks and slide down to
lock into place. See Figure 7.
SETTING NETWORK ADDRESS
Make sure each outdoor unit / refrigerant system has its own
unique network address: 0-7. Set by turning rotary encoders
shown below (ENC4 for 3-Phase Heat Pump and Heat
Recovery; ENC2 for single Phase Heat Pump).
For larger Heat Pump systems with dual or triple modules,
set all addresses the same for each module within the
refrigerant system.
BASIC CONFIGURATION
Once all outdoor refrigerant systems are connected and
operational, the controller may be powered up for initial login
and basic configuration.
Login — Log in from the unit's home screen with user name
“superAdmin.” The default password is 66668888. See
