UNIT INSTALLATION

1 Installation Guides

• Installation should be performed by Sinclair appointed servicemen, or improper installation would lead to unusual
operation, water leakage, electric shock or fire hazard.
• The unit should be installed on the foundation which is capable of supporting the unit, or the unit would fall off
or even lead to personal injury.
• All electric installation should be done by electrician in accordance with local laws and regulations, as well as
the User's Manual and this Service Manual. Besides, the special power lines should be used, as any improper
line would lead to electric shock or fire hazard.
• All electric lines should be safe and secured reliably. Be sure the terminal board and electric lines will not be
affected by any external force, or it would lead to fire hazard.
• The electric lines should run properly to make the cover of the electric box secured tightly, or it would cause the
terminal board overheated or cause electric shock or fire hazard.
• Cut off the power supply before touching any electric element.
• The unit should be grounded properly and the ground line is not allowed to connect with the gas line, water line,
lightning rod or phone line.
• The breaker should be installed, or it would lead to electric shock.
• The drain pipe should be installed in accordance with the User's Manual and this Service Manual to ensure
free drainage, and the drain pipe should be insulated against condensation. Once the drain pipe is installed
improperly, it would lead to water leak which then will damps the ceiling and furniture.
• Do not place the unit where there is oil fog, like kitchen, or the plastic would be aged, broken off or the polluted
evaporator would lead to water leak and poor performance.
• Do not place the unit where there is corrosive gas (like sulfur dioxide), or the corroded copper tubes or welded
joint would lead to refrigerant leakage.
• Do not place the unit where there is inflammable gas, carbon fiber, inflammable dust or volatile combustible, as

prepared and a service man should be there always. There should be no inflammable and explosive substances
around the welding site.
• A platform should be set up when working high above the ground.
