4. INSTALLATION : FAST AND ENDLESSLY ADAPTABLE (1) External piping An external piping connection of 24in and a very light body promote trouble-free installation for PKH18FK. (2) Multi-directional piping Multi directional drain and refrigerant piping rodically improves flexibility in selecting installation layouts. PKH18FK drain piping can be installed in 5 directions, while PKH30/36FK models boast refrigerant piping in 4 directions and drain piping in 2 directions.

NOTE1 : Install the relay box where it can be serviced easily. NOTE2 : For control circuit wiring, use a wire of No. 14 AWG or a control cable according to the power supply of control circuit. NOTE3 : When the power supply of the control circuit is 220/240V AC, Do not connect the control circuit wire to the remote controller cable directly.
