INDOOR UNIT MAIN BODY INSTALLATION
1. Prepare the ceiling opening needed for installation where
applicable (for existing ceilings).
a. Create the ceiling opening required for installation. From the
side of the opening to the casing outlet, implement the
refrigerant and drain piping and wiring for the remote
controller (unnecessary for wireless type). Refer to each
piping or wiring section.
b. After creating an opening in the ceiling, it may be
necessary to reinforce the ceiling beams to keep the
ceiling level and to prevent it from vibrating. Consult
the builder for details.
2. Install the installation hooks. Use either a M8 or M10 size
bolt.
a. Use expansible hooks, sunken anchors or other field
supplied parts to reinforce the ceiling to bear the unit's
weight.
b. Adjust the clearance from the ceiling before proceeding
further. For an installation example, see Fig. 10.
Fig. 10 --- Installation Clearances
(1.) Ceiling slab
(2.) Expansible hook (optional)
(3.) Installation hook (optional)
(4.) False ceiling
NOTE: For an installation other than a standard installation,
contact your dealer for details.
When installing optional accessories, review the list of optional
accessories in the installation manual. Depending on field
conditions, it may be easier to install optional accessories before
the indoor unit is installed (except for the decoration panel).
However, for an existing ceiling, install the fresh air inlet
component kit and branch duct before installing the unit.
3. Install the indoor unit temporarily.
a. Attach the hanger bracket to the suspension bolt. Be sure
to fix it securely by using a nut and washer from the upper
and lower sides of the hanger bracket.
b. Secure the hanger bracket (see Fig. 11).
