How to thread central air conditioner
The threading of central air conditioners is one of the key steps in the installation process, which directly affects the operating effect and safety of the air conditioner. This article will introduce in detail the steps, precautions and related data of central air conditioning wiring to help you better complete the installation work.
1. Basic steps for threading central air conditioners
1.Determine the route direction: According to the structure of the house and the installation location of the air conditioner, plan the direction of the electric wires and signal lines to avoid crossing or conflicting with other pipes.
2.Choose the right wire: According to the air conditioner power and manufacturer's requirements, select standard wires (such as RVV cable) and signal wires (such as shielded twisted pair).
3.Threading construction: Use a threader or pulling rope to thread the cable through the embedded PVC pipe or cable trough to ensure that the cable is not damaged.
4.Wiring and fixing: Connect the wires to the air conditioner main unit and indoor unit according to the wiring diagram, and secure the wires with ties to avoid loosening.
5.Test line: Use a multimeter to check whether the circuit is short-circuited or open before powering on to ensure safety.
2. Things to note when threading central air conditioners
1.Safety first: Be sure to cut off the power supply before threading to avoid the risk of electric shock.
2.avoid distractions: Signal lines and power lines should be routed separately, with a spacing of at least 30cm to prevent electromagnetic interference.
3.reserved length: Reserve 20-30cm length at both ends of the cable to facilitate later maintenance and adjustment.
4.Waterproof and moisture-proof: Cables in humid areas (such as bathrooms) need to be installed with waterproof sleeves.
