DIMENSIONS

CLEARANCES

NOTE: The top clearance recommended for proper return airflow is 5.9in (15cm). Reduction of this clearance may decrease unit performance. This may be reduced to 3.2in (80mm) as long as the right and left clearances are achieved.

PRIOR TO INSTALLATION

Before installing the indoor unit, ensure compatibility with the outdoor unit using the product data as a reference. It is also necessary to confirm the proper application of the equipment and to perform a heat load calculation for proper sizing.

Step 1 – Check Equipment

Unpack the unit and move to the final location. Remove the carton, taking care not to damage the unit. Inspect the equipment for damage prior to installation. File a claim with the shipping company if the shipment is damaged or incomplete. Locate the unit rating plate, which contains the proper installation information. Check the rating plate to be sure the unit matches the job specifications.
The indoor unit should be installed in a location that meets the following requirements:

• Enough room for installation and maintenance
• Enough room for the lines and drainpipe
• A horizontal ceiling and a structure that can sustain the weight of the indoor unit
• The air inlet and outlet are not impeded

CAUTION

DO NOT install the unit in the following locations:

• Areas with oil drilling or fracking
• Coastal areas with high salt content in the air
• Areas with caustic gases in the air, such as near hot springs
• Areas with power fluctuations, such as factories
• Enclosed spaces, such as cabinets
• Areas with strong electromagnetic waves
• Areas that store flammable materials or gas
• Rooms with high humidity, such as bathrooms or laundry rooms.

WARNING
PRODUCT INSTALLATION

• Installation must be performed by an authorized dealer or specialist. A defective installation can cause water leakage, electrical shock, or fire.

• The installation must be performed according to the installation instructions. Improper installation can cause water leakage, electrical shock, or fire. (In North America, installation must be performed in accordance with the requirements of NEC or CEC by authorized personnel only.)

• Contact an authorized service technician for repair or maintenance of this unit. This appliance must be installed in accordance with local codes.

• Only use the included accessories, parts, and specified parts for installation. Using non-standard parts can cause water leakage, electrical shock, fire, or unit failure.

• Install drainage piping according to the instructions in this manual.
  Improper drainage may cause water damage to your home and property.

• For units that have an auxiliary electric heater, DO NOT install the unit within 3 feet (1 meter) of any combustible materials.

• DO NOT install the unit in a location that may be exposed to combustible gas leaks. If combustible gas accumulates around the unit, it may cause a fire.

• DO NOT turn on the power until all work has been completed.

• When moving or relocating the system, consult experienced service technicians for the disconnection and reinstallation of the unit.

Step 2 – Select the Installation Location

Before installing the indoor unit, choose an appropriate location.
The following are standards that should help you choose an appropriate location for the unit.

Proper installation locations must meet the following standards:

1. Good air circulation

2. Convenient drainage

3. Noise from the unit will not disturb others

4. Firm and solid—the location will not vibrate

5. A location at least 3.28 ft. (1m) from all other electrical devices
   (e.g., TV, radio, computer)

6. DO NOT install the unit in the following locations:
   a. Near any source of heat, steam, or combustible gas
   b. Near flammable items such as curtains or clothing
   c. Near any obstacle that might block air circulation
   d. Near the doorway
   e. In a location subject to direct sunlight

NOTE: When selecting a location leave ample room for a wall hole (refer to the drill wall hole for connective piping step) for the signal cable and refrigerant piping that connect the indoor and outdoor units. The default position for all piping is the right side of the indoor unit (while facing the unit). However, the unit can accommodate piping to either left or right.

Step 3 – Attach the Mounting Plate to the Wall
Use the following steps to attach the mounting plate to the wall.

1. Carefully remove the mounting plate, which is attached to the back of the indoor unit.
2. The mounting plate should be located horizontally and at the level on the wall. All minimum spacings should be maintained.
3. If the wall is the block, brick, concrete or similar material, drill 0.2in (5 mm) diameter holes and inserts anchors for the appropriate mounting screws.
4. Attach the mounting plate.
5. Drill holes in the wall:

a. If the wall is brick, concrete or of similar material, drill a 5mm-diameter (0.2in-diameter) hole into the wall and insert the sleeve anchors provided.
b. Next, secure the mounting plate to the wall by tightening the screws directly into the clip anchors.

Step 4 – Drill Wall Holes for Connective Piping

1. Determine the location of the wall hole based on the position of the mounting plate. Refer to the Mounting Plate Dimensions.
2. Use a 2.5in (65mm) or 3.54in (90mm) (depending on models) core drill to drill a hole in the wall. Make sure that the hole is drilled at a slightly downward angle so the outdoor end of the hole is lower than the indoor end by about 0.2 – 0.275in (5 – 7mm). This ensures proper water drainage.
3. Place the protective wall cuff in the hole. This protects the edges of the hole and helps to seal it once the installation is complete.

Mounting Plate Dimensions
Different model sizes have different mounting plates. Ensure there is enough room to mount the indoor unit (refer to Figures 11−14). The following measurements can be located on these figures:

• Width of the mounting plate
• Height of mounting plate
• Width of the indoor unit relative to plate
• Height of indoor unit relative to the plate
• The recommended position of wall hole (both to the left and right of mounting plate)
• Relative distances between screw holes.

|
---|---

NOTE: When the gas side connective pipe is 5/8in (16mmΦ) or more, the wall hole should be 3.54in (90mm).
DRILL A HOLE IN THE WALL FOR THE
INTERCONNECTING PIPING, DRAIN, AND WIRING
Refrigerant Line Routing
The refrigerant lines may be routed in any of the four directions. For maximum serviceability, it is recommended to have refrigerant line flare connections and the drain connections on the outside of the wall that the fan coil can be mounted on. If piping is going through the back, determine the pipe hole position using the mounting plate as a template. Drill pipe hole diameter per values given in figures 11 through 14. The outside pipe hole is 1/2−in. (13 mm) min. lower than the inside pipe hole, so it slants slightly downward.

Step 4 – Prepare Refrigerant Piping

The refrigerant piping is inside an insulating sleeve attached to the back of the unit. The installer must prepare the piping before passing it through the hole in the wall.

1. Based on the position of the wall hole relative to the mounting plate, choose the side from which the piping exits the unit.
2. If the wall hole is behind the unit, keep the knock-out panel in place. If the wall hole is to the side of the indoor unit, remove the plastic knock-out panel from that side of the unit. This creates a slot through which your piping can exit the unit. Use needle-nose pliers if the plastic panel is too difficult to remove by hand.
3. If the existing connective piping is already embedded in the wall, proceed directly to “Step 5 – Connect the Drain Hose”. If there is no embedded piping, connect the indoor unit’s refrigerant piping to the connective piping that connects the indoor and outdoor units.

NOTE: Refrigerant piping can exit the indoor unit from four different angles; left-hand side, right-hand side, left rear, right rear.

CAUTION
Be extremely careful not to dent or damage the piping while bending them away from the unit. Any dents in the piping will affect the unit’s performance.

Step 5 – Connect the Drain Hose

By default, the drain hose is attached to the left-hand side of the unit (when you are facing the back of the unit). However, it can also be attached to the right-hand side. To ensure proper drainage, attach the drain hose on the same side that your refrigerant piping exits the unit. Attach a drain hose extension (purchased separately) to the end of the drain hose.

• Wrap the connection point firmly with Teflon tape to ensure a good seal and to prevent leaks.
• For the portion of the drain hose that remains indoors, wrap it with foam pipe insulation to prevent condensation.
• Remove the air filter and pour a small amount of water into the drain pan to ensure that water flows smoothly from the unit.

NOTE: Be sure to arrange the drain hose according to Figure 17.

CORRECT
Ensure there are no kinks or dents in the drain hose to ensure proper drainage.

NOT CORRECT
Ensure there are no kinks or dents in the drain hose to ensure proper drainage.

NOT CORRECT
Kinks in the drain hose create water traps.

NOT CORRECT
Do not place the end of the drain hose in water or in containers that collect water. This prevents proper drainage.

Fig. 17 — Drain Hose Placement

Plug the Unused Drain Hole
To prevent unwanted leaks, plug the unused drain hole with the rubber plug provided.

CAUTION
All wiring must comply with local and national electrical codes, regulations and must be installed by a licensed electrician. All electrical connections must be made according to the Electrical Connection Diagram located on the panels of the indoor and outdoor units.
If there is a serious safety issue with the power supply, stop work immediately. Explain your reasoning to the client, and refuse to
install the unit until the safety issue is properly resolved.
Power voltage should be within 90-110% of rated voltage.
The insufficient power supply can cause malfunction, electrical shock, or fire.
If connecting power to fixed wiring, a surge protector and main power switch should be installed. If connecting power to fixed wiring, a switch or circuit breaker that disconnects all poles and has a contact separation of at least 1/8in (3mm) must be incorporated in the fixed wiring.
The qualified technician must use an approved circuit breaker or switch. Only connect the unit to an individual branch circuit outlet. Do not connect another appliance to that outlet.
Properly ground the air conditioner.
Every wire must be firmly connected. Loose wiring can cause the terminal to overheat, resulting in product malfunction and possible fire. Do not let wires touch or rest against refrigerant tubing, the compressor, or any moving parts within the unit.
To avoid getting an electric shock, never touch the electrical components soon after the power supply has been turned off. After turning off the power, always wait 10 minutes or more before you touch the electrical components.
WARNING
Before performing any electrical or wiring work, turn off the main power to the system.

Step 6 – Connect the Signal and Power Cables

All wires must be sized per NEC (National Electrical Code) or CEC (Canadian Electrical Code) and local codes. See the rating plate and/ or the installation instructions of the compatible outdoor unit for MCA (minimum circuit amps) and MOCP (maximum overcurrent protection) to correctly size the wires and the disconnect fuse or breakers respectively.
Recommended Connection Method for Power and  Communication Wiring:
The main power is supplied to the outdoor unit. The field supplied 14/ 3 power/communication wiring from the outdoor unit to the indoor unit consisting of four (4) wires and provides the power for the indoor unit. Two wires are high voltage AC power, one is communication wiring and the other is a ground wire. Wiring between the indoor and outdoor unit is polarity sensitive. The use of BX wire is NOT recommended. If installed in a high Electromagnetic field (EMF) area and communication issues exist, a 14/2 stranded shielded wire can be used to replace L2/N and (S) between the outdoor unit and indoor unit landing the shield onto the ground in the outdoor unit only.

1. Open the front panel of the indoor unit.

2. Use a screwdriver to open the wire box cover on the right side of the unit. This reveals the terminal block. WARNING
   All wiring must be performed strictly in accordance with the wiring diagram located on the back of the indoor unit’s front panel.

3. Unscrew the cable clamp, below the terminal block, and place it to the side.

4. Facing the back of the unit, remove the plastic panel on the bottom left-hand side.

5. Feed the signal wire through this slot, from the back of the unit to the front.

6. Facing the front of the unit, connect the wire according to the indoor wiring diagram, connect the u-lug and firmly screw each wire to its corresponding terminal.
   CAUTION
   DO NOT MIX UP LIVE AND NULL WIRES
   This is dangerous and can cause the air conditioning unit to malfunction.

7. After checking to ensure every connection is secure, use the cable clamp to fasten the signal cable to the unit. Screw the cable clamp down tightly.

8. Replace the wire cover on the front of the unit, and the plastic panel on the back.
   NOTE: The wiring connection process may differ slightly between units and regions.

Step 7 – Wrap Piping and Cables

Before passing the piping, drain hose, and the signal cable through the wall hole, bundle them together to save space, protect them, and insulate them (not applicable in North America).

1. Bundle the drain hose, refrigerant pipes, and signal cable.
   NOTE: Ensure the drain hose is at the bottom of the bundle. Placing the drain hose at the top of the bundle can cause the drain pan to overflow, which can lead to fire or water damage.
   NOTE: While bundling these items together, do not intertwine or cross the signal cable with any other wiring.

2. Using adhesive vinyl tape, attach the drain hose to the underside of the refrigerant pipes.

3. Using insulation tape, wrap the signal wire, refrigerant pipes, and drain hose tightly together. Double-check that all items are bundled.
   NOTE: When wrapping the bundle, keep the ends of the piping unwrapped. Technicians may need to access them to test for leaks at the end of the installation process (refer to the Electrical Checks and Leak Checks section).

Step 8 – Mount the Indoor Unit

If new connected piping to the outdoor unit has been installed, complete the following steps:

1. If you have already passed the refrigerant piping through the hole in the wall, proceed to step 4.
2. Otherwise, double-check that the ends of the refrigerant pipes are sealed to prevent dirt or foreign materials from entering the pipes.
3. Slowly pass the wrapped bundle of refrigerant pipes, drain hose, and signal wire through the hole in the wall.
4. Hook the top of the indoor unit on the upper hook of the mounting plate.
5. Ensure the unit is hooked firmly on the mounting by applying slight pressure to the left and right-hand sides of the unit. The unit should not jiggle or shift.
6. Using even pressure, push down on the bottom half of the unit. Keep pushing down until the unit snaps onto the hooks along the bottom of the mounting plate.
7. Again, check that the unit is firmly mounted by applying slight pressure to the left and the right-hand sides of the unit.

If refrigerant piping is already embedded in the wall, complete the  following steps:

1. Hook the top of the indoor unit on the upper hook of the mounting plate.
2. Use a bracket or wedge to prop up the unit, allowing enough room to connect the refrigerant piping, signal cable, and the drain hose.
3. Connect the drain hose and refrigerant piping.
4.  Keep the pipe connection point exposed to perform the leak test (refer to Electrical Checks and Leak Checks section of this manual).
5. After the leak test, wrap the connection point with insulation tape.
6. Remove the bracket or wedge that is propping up the unit.
7. Using even pressure, push down on the bottom half of the unit. Keep pushing down until the unit snaps onto the hooks along the bottom of the mounting plate.

NOTE: Keep in mind that the hooks on the mounting plate are smaller than the holes on the back of the unit. If you find that you do not have ample room to connect embedded pipes to the indoor unit, the unit can be adjusted left or right by about 1.18-1.95in (30-50mm), depending on the model.

TROUBLESHOOTING

For ease of service, the systems are equipped with diagnostic code display LEDs on both the indoor and outdoor units. The indoor diagnostic display is a combination of flashing LEDs on the display panel or the front of the unit.
Some indoor units display error codes specifying failure modes in the outdoor units. If possible, always check the diagnostic codes displayed on the indoor unit first.
The diagnostic codes displayed in the indoor and outdoor units are listed in Table 9.
