Installation Instructions – Indoor Unit
Prior to installation
Before installing the indoor unit, refer to the label on the product box
to ensure that the model number of the indoor unit matches the model
number of the outdoor unit.
1.1
Step 1: Select installation location
Before installing the indoor unit, choose an appropriate location. The
following are standards that will help you choose an appropriate location
for the unit.
Proper installation locations meet the following standards:
f
Good air circulation
f
Convenient drainage
f
Noise from the unit will not disturb surrounding area
f
Firm and solid — to avoid vibration
f
Strong enough to support the weight of the unit
f
A location at least one metre from all other electrical devices (e.g.,
TV, radio, computer)
DO NOT install unit in the following locations:
Near any source of heat, steam or combustible gas
Near flammable items such as curtains or clothing
Near any obstacle that might block air circulation
Near the doorway
In a location subject to direct sunlight
NOTE ON WALL HOLE:
If there is no fixed refrigerant piping:
When choosing a location, ensure that you should leave ample room for a
wall hole (see
Drill wall hole for connective piping
step) for the signal
cable and refrigerant piping that connect the indoor and outdoor units.
The default position for all piping is the right side of the indoor unit
(while facing the unit). However, the unit can accommodate piping to
both the left and right.
Refer to the following diagram to ensure proper distance from walls
and ceiling:
15cm or more
12cm
or more
12cm
or more
2.3m or more

Step 2: Attach mounting plate to wall
The mounting plate is the device on which you will mount the indoor unit.
1. Remove the screw that attaches the mounting plate to the back of
the indoor unit.
2. Place the mounting plate against the wall in a location that meets
the standards in the
Select Installation Location
step. (See
Mounting Plate Dimensions
for detailed information on mounting
plate sizes.)
3. Drill holes for mounting screws in places that:
•
have studs and can support the weight of the unit
•
correspond to screw holes in the mounting plate
4. Secure the mounting plate to the wall with the screws provided.
5. Make sure that mounting plate is flush with the wall.
NOTE FOR CONCRETE OR BRICK WALLS:
If the wall is made of brick, concrete or similar material, drill 5mm-
diameter holes in the wall and insert the sleeve anchors provided. Then
secure the mounting plate to the wall by tightening the screws directly
into the clip anchors.
1.3
Step 3: Drill wall hole for connective piping
Drill a hole in the wall for refrigerant piping, the drainage pipe and the
signal cable that will connect the indoor and outdoor units.
1. Determine the location of the wall hole based on the position of
the mounting plate. Refer to
Mounting Plate Dimensions
on the
next page to help you determine the optimal position. The wall hole
should have a 65mm diameter at least, and at a slightly lower angle
to facilitate drainage.
2. Using a 65mm or 90mm (depending on models )core drill, drill
a hole in the wall. Make sure that the hole is drilled at a slight
downward angle, so that the outdoor end of the hole is lower than
the indoor end by about 5mm to 7mm. This will ensure proper water
drainage. (See
Fig. 4
)
3. Place the protective wall cuff in the hole. This protects the edges of
the hole and will help sea it when you finish the installation process.
CAUTION
When drilling the wall hole, avoid wires, plumbing, and other sensitive
components.
