THE CHOICE OF MOUNTING SITE
(Please note the following matters and obtain permission from customer before installation).
WARNING
!
●
The unit should be mounted at stable, non-vibratory location
which can provide full support to the unit.
WARNING
!
●
The outdoor unit must be mounted at a location which can support
heavy weight. Otherwise, noise and vibration will increase.
CAUTION
!
●
No nearby heat source and no obstruction near the air outlet is
allowed.
●
The clearance distances from top, right and left are speci
fi
ed in
fi
gure below.
●
The location must be convenient for water drainage and pipe
connection with the outdoor unit.
●
To avoid interference from noise please place the unit and its
remote controller at least 1m from the radio, television and inverter
type
fl
uorescent lamp.
●
To avoid any error in signal transmission from the remote controller,
please put the controller far away from high-frequency machines
and high-power wireless systems.
●
The installation height of indoor unit must be 2.3m or more.
CAUTION
!
●
Do not expose the unit under direct sunshine or rain. Besides,
ventilation must be good and clear of obstruction.
●
The air blown out of the unit should not point directly to animals
or plants.
●
The clearances of the unit from top, left, right and front are speci
fi
ed
in
fi
gure below. At least three of the above sides must be open air.
●
Be sure that the hot air blown out of the unit and noise do not
disturb the neighbourhood.
●
Do not install at a location where there is
fl
ammable gas, steam,
oil and smoke.
●
The location must be convenient for water drainage.
●
Place the outdoor unit and its connection wire at least 1m away
from the antenna or signal line of television, radio or telephone.
This is to avoid noise interference.
●
Do not install outdoor unit facing strong wind direction. It may
damage the fan motor.
●
Do not install the outdoor unit in a place where small animals may
build their nests. If small animal goes inside the unit and touches
the electrical parts, failure of the unit, smoke or
fi
re may be caused.
Request your customer to keep the surrounding of the unit is clean.

no matter big or small,
should all be insulated
with insulation pipe and
then wrapped with vinyl
tape. (The insulator will
deteriorate if it is not
wrapped with tape).
The connection of insulated
drain hose.
Please use insulated drain
hose for the indoor piping
(commercial product).

WARNING
!
●
Please request your sales agent or quali
fi
ed technician to install your unit. Water leakage, short circuit or
fi
re may occur if
you do the installation work yourself.
●
Please observe the instructions stated in the installation manual during the process of installation. Improper installation may
cause water leakage, electric shock and
fi
re.
●
Make sure that the units are mounted at locations which are able to provide full support to the weight of the units. If not,
the units may collapse and impose danger.
●
Observe the rules and regulations of the electrical installation and the methods described in the installation manual when
dealing with the electrical work. Use power cables approved by the authorities of your country.
●
Be sure to use the speci
fi
ed wire for connecting the indoor and outdoor units. Please ensure that the connections are tight
after the conductors of the wire are inserted into the terminals. Improper insertion and loose contact may cause over-heating
and
fi
re.
●
Please use the speci
fi
ed components for installation work. Otherwise, the units may collapse or water leakage, electric shock
and
fi
re may occur.
●
Be sure to use the speci
fi
ed piping set for R410A. Otherwise, this may result in broken copper pipes or faults.
●
When installing or removing an air conditioner, do not allow air or moisture to remain in the refrigeration cycle. Otherwise,
pressure in the refrigeration cycle may become abnormally high so that a rupture may be caused.
●
Be sure to ventilate fully if a refrigerant gas leak while at work. If the refrigerant gas comes into contact with
fi
re, a poisonous
gas may occur.
●
After completion of installation work, check to make sure that there is no refrigeration gas leakage. If the refrigerant gas
leaks into the room, coming into contact with
fi
re in the fan-driven heater, space heater, etc., a poisonous gas may occur.
●
Unauthorized modi
fi
cations to the air conditioner may be dangerous. If a breakdown occurs please call a quali
fi
ed air
conditioner technician or electrician. Improper repairs may result in water leakage, electric shock and
fi
re, etc.

Tools Needed For Installation Work
!
●
A circuit breaker or fuse (13A) must be installed. Without a circuit breaker or fuse the danger of electric
shock
exists.
The external switch shall be incorporated to completely disconnect from power supply. It should disconnect all poles, and a
contact separation of at least 3mm must be present.
●
Do not install the unit near a location where there is
fl
ammable gas. The outdoor unit may catch
fi
re if
fl
ammable gas leaks around it.
●
Do not install the indoor unit in a machine shop or kitchen where vapor from oil or its mist
fl
ows to the indoor unit. The oil
will deposit on the heat exchanger, thereby reducing the indoor unit performance and may deform and in the worst case,
break the plastic parts of the indoor unit.
●
Please ensure smooth
fl
ow of water when installing the drain hose.
●
Piping shall be suitable supported with a maximum spacing of 1m between the supports.

Installation of Hanger, Wall Penetration and Installation of Protection Pipe
1
CAUTION
!
●
The draining of the water container inside the indoor unit can be done from the left.
Therefore the mounting plate must be
fi
xed horizontally or slightly tilted towards the
side of drain hose. Otherwise, condensed water may over
fl
ow the water container.
Direct Mounting On The Wall
●
Please use hidden beams in the wall to hold the mounting plate.
Wall Penetration and Installation of Protection Pipe
●
Drill a ø 65mm hole on
wall which is slightly tilted
towards the outdoor side.
Drill the wall at a small
angle.
●
Cut the protection pipe
according to the wall
thickness.
●
Empty gap in the sleeve
of protection pipe should
be completely sealed with
putty to avoid dripping of
rain water into the room.
INSTALLATION OF REFRIGERATING PIPES AFTER CONNECTION
●
The refrigerating pipes should be adjusted to fit
into the hole on the wall and then ready for further
connection.
●
The terminals of 2 connected pipes must be covered
with insulator used for terminal connection. Then the
pipes are wrapped with insulation pipe.
●
Connect the connecting cord after removing electrical
cover. (Refer to “CONNECTION OF POWER CORD”)
●
After adjustment,
fi
t the connecting cord and pipes
into the space available under the indoor unit.
!
CAUTION
●
The rubber strap used for
fi
xing the insulator should
not be tied with great force.
Otherwise, this will damage
heat insulation and causes
water condensation.
THE CONNECTION OF REFRIGERATING PIPE DURING THE
INSTALLATION OF INDOOR UNIT
Preparation To Install Refrigerating Pipes
!
CAUTION
●
Please
fi
x in the plastic core
after
fl
aring to avoid copper
chips entering the pipes.
CAUTION
!
You are free to choose the side (left or right) for the installation of drain
hose. Please ensure the smooth
fl
ow of condensed water of the Indoor
unit during installation. (Carelessness may result in water leakage.)
!
CAUTION
Be sure that the
drain hose is not
loosely connected
or bend.
Be sure that the wire is not
in contact with any metal
in the wall. Please use
the protection pipe as wire
passing through the hollow
part of the wall so as to
prevent the possibility of
damaged by mouse.
Unless it seals completely,
any air with high humidity
flows from outdoor and
dew may drop.
!
WARNING
●
The refrigerating pipes and connecting cord
arrangement are attached.
