! "��Once you have selected an outdoor unit the wiring tab page becomes available:

Note: As you can see the software tool will generate a fully automated wiring diagram. The wiring diagram follows the piping diagram. All indoor units have by default a remote controller. To remove a remote controller from an indoor unit or interwire indoor units with one remote controller see chapter 7.1 Indoor unit remote controller. To select options for the indoor units see chapter 7.2 Indoor unit options. To select options for the outdoor units see chapter 7.3 Outdoor unit options.

7.1 Indoor unit remote controller Suppose you have the below wiring diagram:

Ind 2 does not need a remote controller and has to be controlled by the remote controller of Ind 3. Follow these steps to interwire indoor units on one remote controller:
