Operating Instructions
Precautions
 Entrust a qualified local technician to perform installation. Do not try to install the unit by yourself.
 Before cleaning or maintenance, ensure the power supply is cut off. Do not use water for washing to prevent electric shocks.
 Do not operate with wet hands to avoid electric shocks.  Do not use pesticides, disinfectants, or flammable directly on the controller as they
may damage the device or cause fires.  When the IDUs are powered separately and the number of IDUs to be connected is
more than 10 or the communication distance is larger than 200, repeaters are required.

Product Overview
3&1& 3FQFBUFS
A repeater is a connector working on the physical layer, with the following features:  Signal repeater: re-transmits or forwards data signals to extend the network
transmission distance.  Power supply repeater: compensates the voltage drop caused by communication
wire resistance to increase the bus voltage. 02

Installation Instructions
Precautions
 To ensure correct installation, read the "Installation Instructions" section of this manual.  All the warnings provided here are important for safety and must be followed.
Warning
 Entrust the local distributor or local service agent to appoint a qualified technician to perform the installation. Do not try to install the unit by yourself.
 Do not connect the communication wire when the power is on. Otherwise, the circuit board will be damaged.
 Do not connect the power cable (high voltage) to the communication (low voltage) terminal. Otherwise, the circuit board will be damaged.
 Do not connect M1M2 with the PQ of IDU. Otherwise, the circuit board will be damaged.
 Note the distinction between the communication port of the upstream IDU and that of the downstream IDU. Be careful not to make them confused. Otherwise, communication failure will occur.
 Use the specified cables as the communication wiresThe wires should be fixed with clamps to avoid stress on the terminal block.
 Do not install the repeater in any corrosive, flammable or explosive environment or place with oil mist (such as a kitchen).
 Do not install the repeater outdoor or in a wet place and avoid direct sunlight.  Do not knock, throw, or disassemble the wired controller.  Please install the repeater after painting the wall to prevent water, lime and sand
from entering the repeater.  When installing the equipment, all requirements of the mentioned standard must be
fulfilled. And when necessary, suitable enclosure and type of supply connection should be provided by end system

Repeater Installation
. Push the cover hard on the screwdriver icon till snap fasteners of the cover seperate from the base, then open the cover. Install the power cables and communications wires properly according to the wiring diagram.
Snap fastener
Warning
Make sure the power is off when operating. Do not raise the upper cover with excessive force to avoid damage to the cover or the circuit board.
06

. Fix the repeater base on the wall or a proper location with a screwdriver. Four positions need to be fixed with screws.
Location to accept a screw
. Finally, close the upper cover and the bottom cap of the repeater and tighten them with two fixing screws.
Fixing screw
Warning
 Make sure that no cables are clamped when buckling the upper cover and bottom cap of the repeater. 07

Power Cable Connection
Warning
 The power supply of the repeater cannot be cut off separately. It needs to be always powered on or switched on and off with the ODU power supply.
 Use round-type terminals with correct specifications to connect the power cable. The power cables must be a 2×1.0mm2 copper core cable.
 Connect the power cable with the terminals L and N.

Connection of the power cable
First wiring method: Let the power cable through the hole on the left side of the repeater to the CN1 power supply terminal (L N). Fix the wires with clamps to avoid stress on the terminal block.

Communication Wire Connection

Warning
 Do not connect M1M2 with the IDU's PQ, D1D2 or X1X2 or any other different communication network. Otherwise, the circuit board will be damaged.
 If the total communication distance between IDU and ODU exceeds 200m or more than 10 IDUs are configured, use a repeater to increase the bus voltage.
 A maximum of 2 repeaters can be installed in the same refrigerant system.  Use 2×1.5mm2 PVC sheathed flexible cords in compliance with AS NZS 3000
Electrical installations (known as the Australian New Zealand Wiring Rules) and AS NZS 3008 Electrical Installations (DC resistance  1.33/100m) as communication cables.  Note the distinction between the communication port of the upstream IDU and that of the downstream IDU. Be careful not to make them confused. Otherwise, communication failure will occur.  Connect the port of TO UP IDU with the upstream IDU. The upstream IDU is located in front of the repeater and near the ODU.  Connect the port of TO DOWN IDU with the downstream IDU. The downstream IDU is located behind the repeater and away from the ODU.

Connection of communication wires
First wiring method: The communication wire should pass through the wire clamp on the right side of the repeater. The communication wire of the upstream IDU should be connected with CN3 (TO UP IDU) terminal block(M1 M2) while the communication wire of the downstream IDU connected with CN2 (TO DOWN IDU) terminal block(M1 M2). The wires should be fixed with clamps to avoid stress on the terminal block.

Connection of communication wires
Second wiring method: The communication wire should pass through the wire clamp on the bottom side of the repeater.

Warning
If the total communication distance does not exceed 200m and no more than 10 IDUs are configured, the units are powered by the master ODU and no repeaters are required. If the total communication distance exceeds 200m or more than 10 IDUs are configured, repeaters are required. The repeaters shall have the same load capacity as the ODUs, connecting with up to 10 IDUs, with a communication distance of no greater than 200m. A maximum of two repeaters can be installed in the same refrigerant system. A maximum of 30 IDUs can be installed in the same refrigerant system by using repeaters.
