Take the following precautions to reduce the risk of property damage. ● Be careful that moisture, dust, or variant refrigerant compounds not enter the refrigerant cycle during installation work. Foreign matter could damage internal components or cause blockages. ● If air filters are required on this unit, do not operate the unit without the air filter set in place. If the air filter is not installed, dust may accumulate and breakdown may result.

● Communication cabling shall be a minimum of 18-Gauge, 2-Conductor, Stranded Copper. Shielded cable must be considered for applications and routing in areas of high EMI and other sources of potentially excessive electrical noise to reduce the potential for communication errors. When shielded cabling is applied, proper bonding and termination of the cable shield is required as per Johnson Controls guidelines.
Additional Usage Information ◆ When purchasing or installing multi-zone DFS systems, the combination ratio must not exceed 150% of outdoor unit capacity. If the connecting indoor units exceed the recommended combination ratio then capacity will be greatly reduced and may damage the system. ◆...
2 Installation of Cassette Indoor Unit 2.1 Schematic Diagram of Installation Spaces Wall surface Wall Wall surface surface Model unit:mm DHMW24NKB21S Ground surface Fig.1 2.2 Installation Location of the Indoor Unit (1). There should be no obstructions near the intake or outlet of the indoor unit as this may restrict airflow.
2.3 Important Notice: ◆ To ensure good performance and longevity, the unit must be installed by certified technicians according to these instructions. 2.4 Dimensions of Ceiling Opening and Location of Threaded Mounting Rod Refrigerant pipe Threaded mounting rod (X4) 26-3/4" (Gaps between hoisting screw rods) 33"...
2.5 Installation of Cassette Chassis (1). The primary steps for installing the indoor unit. ◆ When attaching the mounting bracket onto the threaded rod, use the appropriate bolts and washers capable of supporting the weight of the chassis. The use of field supplied mounting cleats to supplement the chassis mounting brackets will provide additional support and prevent possible damage or breakage of the washers.
◆ When completing the flare connections, start the flare nuts by hand; then use the two wrenches as described above to properly tighten. ◆ Refer to Table 1 below if the torque setting is too high then the flare nut may be damaged or the flare may crack causing leaks.

◆ If gravity fall cannot be achieved due to obstructions or install limits, then a riser will need to be installed to allow proper sloping of the drain line. ◆ To prevent bending or warping of the drain line, the supporting brackets should be installed in 3'-5' spans as needed.
Condensate hose(accessory) Fig. 9 ◆ Please install the condensate hose according to the following process if several drain hoses join together. Above 4" The specs of the joined condensate hoses should fit the running capacity of the unit. Fig. 10 (2).

(3). Partially tighten the (four) screws in the corners to secure panel to chassis. (4). Tighten the screws incrementally so that the grille rises in a level manner until the grille meets the finished ceiling. (5). Once the grille is in place and tightened the sealing gasket of the grille should be compressed to approximately 1/4 to 1/8 of an inch.
