▪ Take care that in the event of a water leak, water cannot cause
any damage to the installation space and surroundings.
▪ Choose a location where the hot/cold air discharged from the unit
or the operation noise, will NOT disturb anyone.
▪
Air flow.
Make sure nothing blocks the air flow.
▪
Drainage.
Make sure condensation water can be evacuated
properly.
▪
Paper pattern for installation
(upper part of packing)
(accessory). When selecting the installation location, use the
paper pattern. It contains the dimensions of the unit and the
required ceiling opening.
▪
Air flow directions
. You can select different air flow directions.
Choose the one best suited for the room. Also make sure the "Air
flow direction" field setting corresponds with the actual situation
(see
"7.1 Field settings" on page 16

▪
Ceiling insulation
. When conditions in the ceiling exceed 30°C
and a relative humidity of 80%, or when fresh air is inducted into
the ceiling, then additional insulation is required (minimum 10 mm
thickness, polyethylene foam).
▪
Spacing

class. Also make sure the "Ceiling height" field setting
corresponds with the actual situation. See

Do NOT install the unit in the following places:
▪ In places where a mineral oil mist, spray or vapour may be
present in the atmosphere. Plastic parts may deteriorate and fall
off or cause water leakage.
It is NOT recommended to install the unit in the following places
because it may shorten the life of the unit:
▪ Where the voltage fluctuates a lot
▪ In vehicles or vessels
▪ Where acidic or alkaline vapour is present

Refrigerant piping requirements
INFORMATION
Also read the precautions and requirements in the
"General safety precautions" chapter.
Refrigerant piping material
▪
Piping material:
Phosphoric acid deoxidised seamless copper.
▪
Piping temper grade and thickness:
Outer diameter
(Ø)
Temper grade
Thickness (t)
(a)
9.5 mm (3/8")
Annealed (O)
≥0.8 mm
t
Ø
15.9 mm (5/8")
Annealed (O)
≥1.0 mm
(a)
Depending on the applicable legislation and the unit's
maximum working pressure (see "PS High" on the unit
name plate), larger piping thickness might be required.
▪
Flare connections:
Only use annealed material.
Refrigerant piping diameter
Use the same diameters as the connections on the outdoor units:
L1 liquid piping
Ø9.5 mm
L1 gas piping
Ø15.9 mm
5.3.2
Refrigerant piping insulation
▪ Use polyethylene foam as insulation material:
▪ with a heat transfer rate between 0.041 and 0.052 W/mK (0.035
and 0.045 kcal/mh°C)
▪ with a heat resistance of at least 120°C
▪ Insulation thickness
