12 | Indoor Unit Installation
Refer to the following diagram to ensure proper distance from walls and ceiling:
Fig. 4.1
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 flat against the wall.
NOTE FOR CONCRETE OR BRICK WALLS:
If the wall is made of brick, concrete, or similar material, drill
5mm-diameter (0.2in-diameter) holes in the wall and insert the wall
anchors provided. Then secure the mounting plate to the wall by
tightening the screws directly into the clip anchors.
Step 3: Drill wall hole for connective piping
You must drill a hole in the wall for refrigerant piping, the drainage pipe,
and the communication 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 (2.5in) diameter at least, and at a slightly
lower angle to facilitate drainage.
2. Using a 65-mm (2.5in) 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 (0.2-0.275in). This will ensure proper water drainage.
(See Fig. 4.2 )
3. Place the protective wall cuff in the hole. This protects the edges of
the hole and will help seal it when you finish the installation process.
CAUTION
When drilling the wall hole, protect the cable by using suitable material
in the hole.
