INDOOR UNIT INSTALLATION (Cont.)
PREPARATION STEPS BEFORE INSTALLATION (Cont.)
Step (2): Making Wall Hole Precautions:
Before making a hole, check carefully the following points :
• The wall is flat and perpendicular.
• If the wall is not flat and perpendicular, the indoor unit can
be unstable and condensate drain can spill.
• No studs or pipes are directly run behind the spot to be cut.
• No electrical wiring or conduits are located.
Drill a hole of 65 mm to pass the refrigerant lines, drain hose
•
and electrical cables.
The wall hole can be made as required in either location (1)
or (2).
When making wall hole, make sure to drill outwards at a
downward angle, so that the height difference between the
entrance and exit of the hole is at least 5-10 mm.
Step (3): Cutting Sleeve For Wall Hole
• Measure the thickness of the wall from the inside edge to
the outside edge and cut PVC pipe at a slight angle 6mm
shorter than the thickness of the wall.
Step (4): Mounting Sleeve Into Wall Hole
• After making hole, a sleeve must be mounted into wall
hole and its width to be equal to wall thickness to pass
refrigerant lines, drain hose and electrical cables
through the wall hole.
