40MUAA: Installation Instructions

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Review the following information before installing the unit:
• Do not install the indoor units near a direct source of heat such as
direct sunlight or a heating appliance.
• Allow sufficient space for airflow and unit servicing. See Fig. 5 — on
page 6 for the minimum required distances between the unit and the
walls or ceilings.
• Communication wiring must be at least 3 ft. (1m) away from all
electromagnetic interference (televisions, radios, etc.) sources.
Interference is still possible even if this distance is maintained.
• Ensure any hanger used is strong enough to withstand the unit's
weight.
• If the indoor unit is installed in an unconditioned space, running for
long periods of time when the temperatures are outside the
recommended indoor unit operation ranges, it is recommended that the
installer seal all corners of the indoor unit to prevent any leaks and add
insulation material (13/32 to 13/16 in (10-20 mm)) to the entire surface
of the indoor unit to avoid condensation or heat transfer.
NOTE: Nuisance sweating may occur if the unit is installed in a high
humidity environment with low airflow.

Securely install the indoor unit on a structure that can sustain its
weight. If the structure is too weak, the unit may fall and cause
personal injury, unit and property damage, or death.

excessive moisture can short the unit and corrode the wiring.
Install the indoor and outdoor units, cables and wires at least 3.2 ft
(1m) from televisions, routers, computer equipment or radios to
prevent static or image distortion. Depending on the appliances, a
3.2 ft (1m) distance may not be sufficient.
If the indoor unit is installed on metal, it must be electrically
grounded.
