The power to the outdoor unit from the 30 amp disconnect is ran using a preassembled liquid tight conduit. The wiring is already there and it can be cut to length. The red and black wires are both hot wires and will connect to the L1 and L2 lines using yellow crimp on fork connectors.
The refrigerant lines get threaded onto the connections. Once they are tighten down you can then remove the caps on the side of the lines to expose an allen wrench key that gets turned until it stops to release the refrigerant in the lines and pressurize the system.
This is the part of the system the differentiates it from other mini-splits. With most other units the refrigerant is added after the fact using a system that most professionals have. Having the refrigerant in the lines and being able to pressurize your own system makes this process totally DIY. Now the 30 amp fuses can be inserted into the fused 30 amp disconnect.
Do note that the fuses do not come with the disconnect. They have to be purchased separately. Also note that the photos below show a panel that is currently under construction so there are a lot of wires that are not tied in yet. To start, the main breaker big switch at the top needs to be turned off, the face of the panel can then be removed and the insulation should be removed from the wire after it enters the panel. Then, the ground wire gets stripped and tied into the ground bar.
This is usually towards the outside of the panel. While the white wire common wire gets tied into the common bar which is usually near the breakers. Now for this breaker we will be using a 30 amp double pole breaker. This means that two wires are hot. So two volt wires will travel to the unit and provide a combined voltage of Therefore, both the red and the black wires get stripped and tied into the breaker.
The break then gets inserted into an open slot on the panel. Not all panels are the same so yours may look a little different. Once you get the breaker in you can then replace the face of the panel and flip the main breaker back on.
This should complete the install. This is pretty straight forward, there is a usb adaptor that gets plugged into the back of the front panel.
