4.1.1. Prior to installation

Before installing the indoor unit, refer to the label on the product box to
make sure that the model number of the indoor unit matches the model
number of the outdoor unit.
Step 1: Select installation location
Before installing the indoor unit, you must choose an appropriate
location on a suitable load bearing wall. The following are guide lines that
will help you choose an appropriate location for the unit.
By the following guidelines with help ensure a better installation
and user experience:
Good air circulation
•
Convenient drainage
•
Noise from the unit will not disturb other people
•
Firm and solid – the location will not vibrate
•
Strong enough to support the weight of the unit
•
A location at least one meter from all other electrical devices
•
(e.g., TV, radio, computer)
DO NOT install unit in the following locations:
 Near any source of heat, steam, or combustible gas
 Near flammable items such as curtains or clothing
 Near any obstacle that might block air circulation
 Near the doorway
 In a location subject to direct sunlight
NOTE ABOUT WALL HOLE
IF THERE IS NO FIXED REFRIGERANT PIPING
While choosing a location, be aware that you should leave ample room for
a wall hole (see Drill wall hole for connective piping step) for the
communication cable and refrigerant piping that connect the indoor and
outdoor units. The default position for all piping is the right side of the
indoor unit (while facing the unit). However, the unit can accommodate
piping to both the left and right.

Step 2: Attach mounting plate to wall
The mounting plate is unit used onto which you will mount the indoor unit.
1 Remove the screw that attaches the mounting plate to the back of
the indoor unit.
2 Place the mounting plate against the wall in a location that meets the
standards in the Select Installation Location step. (See Mounting
Plate Dimensions for detailed information on mounting plate sizes.)
3 Drill holes for mounting screws in places that:
have studs and can support the weight of the unit
•
correspond to screw holes in the mounting plate
•
4 Secure the mounting plate to the wall with the screws provided.
5 Make sure that mounting plate is flat against the wall.
If the wall is made of brick, concrete, or similar material, drill 5mm-
diameter (0.2in-diameter) holes in the wall and insert the raw plugs
provided. Then secure the mounting plate to the wall by tightening the
screws directly into the clip anchors.
Step 3: Drill wall hole for connective piping
You must drill a hole in the wall for refrigerant piping, the drainage pipe,
and the communication cable that will connect the indoor and outdoor
units.
1 Determine the location of the wall hole based on the position of the
mounting plate. Refer to Mounting Plate Dimensions on the next
page to help you determine the optimal position. The wall hole
should have a 65mm (2.5in) diameter at least, and at a slightly
lower angle to facilitate drainage.
2 Using a 65-mm (2.5in) core drill, drill a hole in the wall. Make sure
that the hole is drilled at a slight downward angle, so that the
outdoor end of the hole is lower than the indoor end by about 5mm
to 7mm (0.2-0.275in). This will ensure proper water drainage.
(See Fig. 4.3)
3 Place the protective wall cuff (not supplied) in the hole. This
protects the edges of the hole and will help seal it when you finish
the installation process.
