Installation site instructions
A proper installation site is vital for correct and efficient
operation of the unit.
Avoid the following sites where:
• strong heat sources, vapour, flammable gas or volatile liquids
are emitted.
• high-frequency electro-magnetic waves are generated by radio
equipment, welders or medical equipment.
• salt-laden air prevails (such as close to coastal areas).
• the air is contaminated with industrial vapours and oils.
• the air contains sulphurous gas such as in hot
spring zones.
• corrosive or poor air quality exists.
Indoor unit
1. The air inlet and outlet should be kept clear of obstructions.
Ensure the air can be blown through the whole room.
2. Select a site where the condensing water can be easily drained
out, and where it is easily connected to the
outdoor unit.
3. Select a place where it is out of reach of children.
4. Select the place where the wall is strong enough to withstand
the full weight and vibration of the unit.
5. Be sure to leave enough space to allow access for routine
maintenance.
6. For optimum performance, the indoor unit should be installed
on the wall at a height of 2 metres or more above the floor and
at least 2.5 metres from the opposing wall.
7. Make sure that the indoor unit is installed in accordance with
installation dimension as below:
more than 15cm from
the ceiling
refrigerant charge.
14. Do not install near a doorway.
15. Note low temperature soldering alloys are not acceptable.
16. Minimum room space requirements as advised on the rating
plate must be complied with.
17. Reusable mechanical connectors may not be used within
indoors or within wall or ceiling cavities where a refrigerant leak
can gather.
18. All refrigerant tubing shall be protected or enclosed to prevent
damage.
Outdoor unit
1. Select a site where noise and outflow air emitted by unit will
not annoy neighbours.
2. Select a site where there is sufficient ventilation.
3. Select a site where there is no obstruction blocking the inlet
and outlet.
4 The site should be able to withstand the full weight and
vibration of the unit.
5. Select a dry place, but do not expose the unit to direct sunlight
or strong wind.
6. Make sure that the outdoor unit is installed in accordance with
the installation instructions, and is convenient for maintenance
and repair.
7. Select a place where it is out of reach of children and far from
animals or plants.
8. Select a place where the unit keeps the horizontal and aligned
position.
9. Select at a place that respects the minimum distances around
the outdoor unit as below:
more than 20cm
more than
30cm
more than
15c m
more than 2m from the floor
more than 2.5m from the opposing wall
8. Select place about 1m or more away from a TV set or any
other electric appliance.
9. Select a place where the filter can be easily taken out.
10. Do not use the unit in wet areas such as the laundry or by a
swimming pool.
11. A minimum pipe run of 3 metres is required to minimise
vibration and noise.
12. Use a stud finder to locate studs to prevent unnecessary
damage to the wall.
13. Any variations in pipe length may require adjustment to

can gather.
Rooftop installation
WARNING
If the outdoor unit is installed on a roof structure, be sure to level
the unit.
Ensure the roof structure and anchoring method are adequate for
the unit location.
If the outdoor unit is installed on roof structures or external walls,
this may result in excessive noise and vibration, and may also be
classed as non-serviceable installation.

caution
• The outdoor unit is charged with the refrigerant for standard
pipe length of 7.5m.
• When the connecting pipe length is longer than the standard
length, additional refrigerant should be added into the unit
according to the above table through the service port on 3-way
service valve on the outdoor unit.
• PLEASE MAINTAIN THE SHORTEST DISTANCE (3 TO 5
METRES) AND SHORTEST MISALIGNMENT POSSIBLE
BETWEEN THE INDOOR AND OUTDOOR UNITS.
• The maximum allowance length and height is based
on reliability. Exceeding the maximum may cause poor
performance or malfunction.
• When the level difference between indoor and outdoor units
is greater than the maximum height of 10 metres, or when
the outdoor unit is installed above the indoor unit, an oil trap
should be installed every 5-7 metres.

Outdoor condensate drainage
• During heating operation, the condensate and defrosting
water should be drained out reliably through the drain hose.
• The drain-water hole must be plugged. Whether to plug other
holes will be determined by the installer according to actual
conditions.
• Install the outdoor drain connector in the drain-water hole on
the chassis of the outdoor unit, and attach the drain hose to
the connector so that the waste water formed in the outdoor
unit can be drained out.
• In case of a drain hose, the unit must be installed on a base
more than 3cm in height.

caution
• If a suspended installation is needed, the installation bracket
must allow the fixation according to dimensions on the figure
above.
• The wall where the unit will be installed must be of solid brick,
concrete or provided with other reinforcement ways to fix the

Installing the mounting plate
1. Fit the mounting plate horizontally on the wall with five or
more self-tapping screws (type ST4x25, item 3 on page 3).
2. Be sure that the mounting plate has been fixed firmly enough
to withstand about 60kg. The weight should be evenly shared
by every screw.
3. If the wall is made of brick, concrete or the like, drill five (5)
or more holes of 5mm diameter in the wall. Insert clip anchor
(item 2 on page 3) for appropriate mounting screws.
4. The water tray’s outlet for the indoor unit has two-way drainage
design. During installation, the indoor unit should slightly slant
to water tray’s outlet for smooth drainage of condensate water.
