Subject Hitachi Summit models 18 to 50 FH6/FH7
Date 29 May 2012

Hitachi Summit models are unique in that they have a 35vDC power to the indoor unit fed
directly from the outdoor unit. The indoor unit has a DC fan motor and low voltage
electronics and therefore does not require 240vAC supply.

Wiring Option

The indoor unit may come with a fly lead. This can be removed and terminated as it is not
required in this instance.

Power supply is to OUTDOOR unit with a 2 core 35vDC (earthed) interconnecting cable
to the indoor unit.

Please note that condensate pumps must not be wired to the indoor unit terminals.

Optional Controllers

All Hitachi RAC models from 5A or 6 series can interface with H-Link control (Utopia
Splits and Set Free VRF) and Hard Wired Controllers.

Either simplified or standard hard wired controllers are available Either simplified or
standard hard wired controllers are available including one option with a 7 day timer..
These controllers will not allow additional functions common with the Utopia control such
as mode lock, temperature limits etc although the appearance is similar.

These need to be wired into the indoor PCB as follows
