STEP 2: ATTACH MOUNTING PLATE TO WALL
The mounting plate is the device on which you
will mount the indoor unit.
• Remove the screw that attaches the mounting
plate to the back of the indoor unit.
• 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.)
• Drill holes for mounting screws in places that:
a) Have studs and can support the weight of
the unit.
b) Correspond to screw holes in the
mounting plate.
• Secure the mounting plate to the wall with
the screws provided.
• Make sure unit is level.
STEP 3: DRILL WALL HOLE FOR
CONNECTIVE PIPING
You must drill a hole in the wall for refrigerant
piping, the drainage pipe, and the signal cable
that will connect the indoor and outdoor units.
• 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/2.5" diameter at
least, and at a slightly lower angle to facilitate
drainage.
• Using a 65-mm/2.5" 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-7mm/0.2-0.275". This will
ensure proper water drainage. (See
FIG. 3.2
)
• 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.
When drilling the wall hole, make sure to avoid
wires, plumbing, and other sensitive components.
MOUNTING PLATE DIMENSIONS
Different models have different mounting plates. In
order to ensure that you have ample room to mount
the indoor unit, the diagrams to the right show
different types of mounting plates along with the
following dimensions:
• Width of mounting plate.
• Height of mounting plate.
• Width of indoor unit relative to plate.
• Height of indoor unit relative to plate.
• Recommended position of wall hole (both to the
left and right of mounting plate).
• Relative distances between screw holes.
REFER TO THE FOLLOWING DIAGRAM TO ENSURE PROPER DISTANCE FROM
WALLS AND CEILING:
CAUTION
FIG. 3.1
NOTE: FOR CONCRETE
OR BRICK WALLS
If the wall is made of
brick, concrete, or similar
material, drill 5mm-
diameter (0.2" 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.
