BASIC INSTALLATION DEVELOPMENT AND
APPLICATION PLANNING
Successful equipment installation requires proper planning
and site inspection before installation begins. Before installing
a wall-mounted device, ensure that all maintenance and airflow
clearances are met and that the device complies with all applicable
standards and regulations. Inspect the structure’s interior and
exterior by checking the floor plan and verifying the installation
location.
Wall Construction
You need to check if the wall can support the device’s weight.
Read all applicable building codes and regulations, including
seismic requirements. When inspecting wood-framed walls, the
wall structure must be strong and solid enough to support the
weight of the equipment without transmitting vibrations. Structural
members within the wall cavity must support the side unit wall
mounting tabs and optional bottom bracket.
Concrete blocks and brick walls must be thoroughly inspected to
ensure they can support the weight of the installed unit. Metal
buildings must include structural components that support the
weight of the unit. Corrugated panels may need to be cut and
trimmed to create a flat, leveled surface to attach and seal the
unit to the wall.
It may be necessary to install metal plates in the corrugated
area for thick corrugations in shipping containers. The area of
the appliance must be weatherproof and sealed to prevent air or
water from entering the area between the appliance and the wall.
Visual Inspection
Inspect the exterior of your construction site and review
construction plans to identify areas where you will install the
wall mount. The outdoor area must be free of obstacles such as
fences, bushes, walls, etc., that interfere with the operation of the
device in terms of air circulation of the outdoor condenser and
ease of maintenance of the device.
Do not install the device in an enclosed space where airflow
is restricted at ambient temperatures. Warm air should be
exhausted from the front condenser section of the unit, allowing
outside temperature air to enter the side condenser inlet opening
of the unit. Portable or modular building arrangements must
ensure the wall units receive a constant outside air supply for
proper operation.
Draining Condensate
Condensate drainage needs to be planned before installation.
Check all regulations and requirements for equipment condensate
drainage. A clear, flexible PVC drain hose (3/8 “ ID) runs from the
drain pan on top of the unit to the bottom. The rear of the equipment
base has an opening for the drain hose to drain, and the hose
extends 1 to 2 inches below the equipment base (See Figure 7).
During cooling, a large amount of moisture (condensed water)
removed from the indoor air is discharged outside the device via
the hose. If you operate the appliance in cooling mode at cold
outside temperatures below freezing, the condensed water from
the drain hose may freeze. If the drain hose is connected to any
drainage system, it must be open or vented to ensure proper
drainage throughout seasonal use.
Make sure you can access the maintenance hatch on your device.
Inspect walls for obstructions that may interfere with equipment
installation or maintenance, such as outdoor electrical wiring,
junction boxes, wall drains, exhaust hoods, windows, doors,
overhangs, and supports.
