Opening a ceiling and
installation of hanging bolts
• Consider the piping / wiring after the unit is hung
when determining the location of the indoor unit
installation and orientation.
• After the location of the indoor unit installation
has been determined, open the ceiling and install
hanging bolts.
• The dimensions of the ceiling opening and hanging
bolt pitches are given in the outline drawing and the
attached installation pattern.
• When a ceiling already exists, lay the drain pipe,
refrigerant pipe, indoor unit / outdoor unit connection
wires, and remote controller wires to their connection
locations before hanging the indoor unit.
Procure hanging bolts and nuts for installing the indoor
unit (these are not supplied).

contractor.
In the process after the ceiling board has been
removed, it is important to reinforce ceiling foundation
(frame) and to keep horizontal level of installed ceiling
correctly in order to prevent vibration of ceiling board.
1. Cut and remove the ceiling foundation.
2. Reinforce the cut surface of ceiling foundation, and
add ceiling foundation for fixing the end of ceiling
board.
Installation of hanging bolt
Use M10 hanging bolts (4 pcs, locally procured).
Matching to the existing structure, set pitch according
to size in the unit external view as shown below.
