● Clamp electrical wires securely with a cable clamp after all wiring is connected to the terminal block. In addition, run wires securely through the wiring access channel. ● When installing the power lines, do not apply tension to the cables. Secure the suspended cables at regular intervals, but not too tightly.

● Proper handling of this unit requires two people. Safe handling and installing of the indoor unit requires the strength of two people. Mounting the unit alone may cause injury due to a fall of the unit. Although the unit may be girded with steel banding, do not use it for transportation. Avoid contact with finned surfaces of the heat exchanger as sharp edges can cause severe injury to hands and fingers.
Before Installation Combination of Outdoor Unit and Indoor Unit Indoor units can be connected with the outdoor unit (VRF system). Outdoor Unit Type Combination of Outdoor Unit and Indoor Unit Ducted with Total capacity of Ducted with EconoFresh Kit is EconoFresh Kit only 70%~100% of the outdoor unit capacity.

Adjusting Level of Unit (1) Use a level to verify that the unit base is level with the floor. Figure 5.6 Foundation Gradient (2) The unit should be installed so that the right side of the unit is slightly (0 to 3/16 inch (0 to 5mm)) lower than the left side to allow and promote drainage discharge.
Example of Installation 5.6.1 Ducting Connection Pre-drilled duct flanges are provided at the supply, return and outdoor air intake connections. It is recommended that a flexible duct connection be installed to minimize sound and vibration transmission. 5.6.2 Insulation All ducts should be insulated. ●...
Connecting Supply Duct (1) An air filter is not included with accessories of the unit. Install the air filters in the duct of air inlet side which has higher than 50% of dust-collecting efficiency. (2) If reducing the noise by the indoor unit is necessary, install silencers (field-supplied). (3) The canvas ducts should be connected between the indoor unit and the supply duct as shown next page in order to avoid abnormal sound vibration.

(6) Wherever buried piping exists on site, make sure there is adequate access to inspect piping sockets and elbows, and for interconnecting parts. (7) Piping must be reinforced to not be damaged by an external force. (8) Make sure that the piping can accommodate expansion and contraction. (9) Prevent the pipes from touching walls, ceiling, etc.
Drain Piping Do not run drain piping into underground areas near sanitary or sewage lines where toxic and corrosive gases can seep into the system. This can create a pathway for poisonous gas to penetrate inhabited areas. NOTICE ● Check to ensure that the drain hose discharges moisture properly. If connected incorrectly, it can cause structural damage to the indoor wall and ceiling surfaces and damage the property.
