Planning the Installation
Installation of residential and commercial split systems must be performed by qualified
service technicians with proper training in the installation, start up, service, and repair of
these systems. Certification to handle refrigerants is also required.
Addressing Items in the Planning Process
Where to locate the fan coil unit? Should it be built into the wine room or
mounted remote and ducted into the room?
How to mount the fan coil unit?
Decide where to locate the supply and return grilles in the room to achieve the
temperature gradient and circulation preferred.
Locate the electrical power outlet close to the unit. Do not use an extension
cord!
Locate the condensing unit in a clean, dry and well-ventilated area.
Where to locate the remote interface controller and/or remote sensors?
Where to run the drain line?
Are all the parts available to complete the installation?
Performing a Pre-installation Check
Check for the proper installation of the electrical plug configuration.
Check for the properly sized breakers for both the condensing unit and fan coil
section.
Is the room built with adequate insulation and vapor barriers?
Are ducts installed above the ceiling or in accessible places properly sized before
being covered?
Is enough space available around the units for service and repair?
