Location Selection
Follow required best practices when choosing a location for the indoor units..
DANGER
cause serious bodily injury or death. Before beginning installation, read the safety summary at the beginning of this manual.
Select a location for installing the wall-mounted indoor unit (IDU) that meets the following conditions:
Do's
• Ensure that the wall is solid and has enough structural strength to bear the weight of the installation plate and indoor unit.
• Include enough space for service access.
• Place the unit in a location where drainage can be obtained easily and to minimize the length of the condensate drain piping; include space
for drainage to ensure condensate flows properly out of the unit when it is in cooling mode.
• Place the unit in a location where air circulation will not be blocked; keep proper distances from ceilings, doorways, floor, walls, etc.
• Place the unit in a location where operating sound from the unit will not disturb occupants--place the unit where noise prevention is taken
into consideration
• Ensure there is sufficient space from the ceiling and floor.
• Use a level indicator to ensure the unit is installed on a level plane.
• Use a stud finder to locate studs easily, preventing unnecessary damage to the wall.
• Locate the indoor unit in a location where it can be easily connected to the outdoor unit / branch distribution unit.
Don'ts
•
Do not install the unit where it will be subjected to direct thermal radiation from other heat sources.
•
Do not install the unit in a location where acidic solution and spray (sulfur) are often used.
•
Do not use the unit in environments where oil, steam, or sulfuric gas are present.
•
Do not install additional ventilation products on the chassis of the unit.
•
Avoid installing the unit near high-frequency generator sources.
•
Do not install the unit near a doorway.
•
Do not install the unit near a heat or steam source, or where considerable amounts of oil, iron powder, or flour are used. These materials
will generate condensate, cause a reduction in heat exchanger efficiency, or malfunction of the condensate drain. If this is a potential problem,
install a ventilation fan large enough to vent out these materials.
explosion, and physical injury or death.
NOTE
operate as designed if installed in any of the conditions
listed.
