Before beginning installation, consider the placement of both the

indoor and outdoor units. It is important to correctly measure the

distance the tubing will need to travel between the two units.

Select a location for the outdoor unit

•

Make sure you do not block the discharge area of the outdoor

unit with plants or debris

•

Do not install either unit near any source of heat, steam or

flammable gas

•

Locate the unit in a location where it can be easily maintained

Select a location for the indoor unit

•

Locate the indoor unit in a place where it will provide cool air

throughout the room

•

Locate the indoor unit in a place where the unit's airflow will

not be obstructed

•

The wall that the indoor unit is mounted to must be

structurally sound and able to support the weight of the unit

•

It is preferable to locate the indoor unit on an outside wall

where there will be access to adequate drainage or a drain

source

•

Place the unit so that the air filter can be removed easily and

maintenance work can be performed without interference

•

Maintain minimum distances from walls, ceiling, and floor

Tubing Line Length and Refrigerant Charge

Each indoor unit comes with a refrigerant charge that is

sufficient for use with tubing up to 16.4 feet.

If the required length of connecting tubing exceeds 16.4 feet,

add 0.23 oz/ft of refrigerant for each additional foot.

The maximum allowable tubing length between indoor

unit and outdoor unit is 32 feet.

Unit Elevation

If the outdoor unit is placed higher than the indoor unit, an oil

trap should be installed every 12 feet in the suction line.

The maximum allowable elevation between indoor and

outdoor is 16.5 feet.
