INDOOR UNIT POSITION
AND SPACING
The air inlet and outlet vent
should be away from any
obstruction, ensuring that
there is good airflow through
the whole air- conditioned
space. Select a position
where the condensing water
can be easily drained out,
and the indoor unit can be
easily connected to outdoor
unit.
The wall or ceiling where
the unit is fixed should be
strong enough to withstand the full weight and vibration of the unit. You can use specialised ceiling
mounting brackets (not supplied) if installed in the ceiling void. The unit should be accessible for
service and maintenance. The air conditioner must not be installed in a wet environment such as
a bathroom, shower or swimming pool etc.
Make sure that there is a minimum of 35 mm clearance in all directions A, B, C.
When outdoor unit is installed higher than indoor unit, in order to avoid water getting into the
room from the connecting pipe, you should make a curved bend (the curve face down) at the
connecting pipe before it gets through the wall to the indoor room, make sure the vertex is
outdoor.
When the outdoor unit is installed higher than indoor unit, in order to avoid water leakage
please ensure the drain pipe is using the gravity fall straight down or use an inline uplift
pump. If there is more than 5 meters differential a loop should be used.
When drilling through the wall ensure a 2-5 degrees angle, as shown in the picture bellow
