ASTG24LFCC – Wired Remote Controller Connection to CN6

Connecting cable identification, part number and wiring method
For technicians connecting a compatible wired remote controller to the indoor unit PCB.
Answer: The wired remote controller connects to CN6. The 5-pin connecting cable used between the indoor PCB and the wired remote controller cable is available as Part No. 9705932012.
Important clarification: The installation instructions describe the connecting cable as being supplied with the wired remote controller. It is not listed as a standard supplied accessory with the ASTG24LFCC indoor unit. If the cable is missing or a replacement is required, use 9705932012.

1. Correct PCB connection

The indoor unit PCB provides separate connectors for the wired remote controller and the external input/output functions.

FunctionPCB Connector
Wired remote controller / Simple remote controllerCN6
External inputCN14
External outputCN16
The wired remote controller must be connected through CN6. External connection kits intended for CN14 or CN16 are not a substitute for the CN6 remote-controller connecting cable.

2. Connecting cable part number

3. Remote controller cable modification

The installation instructions require the remote controller cable to be modified before connection to the 5-pin connecting cable.

  1. Isolate power to the indoor unit before accessing the PCB or modifying wiring.
  2. Cut the terminal from the end of the remote controller cable.
  3. Remove approximately 20 mm of outer insulation from the cut end.
  4. Join the remote controller cable to the 5-pin connecting cable, matching the corresponding red, white and black conductors.
  5. Solder the wire joints.
  6. Insulate each connection correctly so that no conductor or soldered joint remains exposed.
  7. Plug the 5-pin connector into CN6 on the indoor unit PCB.
Do not simply twist the conductors together. The installation instructions specifically require the wires to be soldered and the completed joints to be insulated.

4. Avoid using the wrong optional connection kit

If a technician is attempting to solve a wired-controller connection issue using an external input or output kit, first confirm which PCB connector the kit is designed for.

ConnectorPurposeUse for WRC?
CN6Wired / simple remote controllerYes
CN14External inputNo
CN16External outputNo

5. Quick reference

ASTG24LFCC + wired remote controller:
Use CN6 on the indoor PCB.
Required 5-pin connecting cable: 9705932012.
Modify the remote controller cable as instructed, solder the red/white/black conductors to the connecting cable, insulate the joints, then connect the 5-pin plug to CN6.
Always confirm the indoor model and controller model before ordering parts or making wiring changes. Use the latest installation instructions applicable to the equipment being serviced.
