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.
• corrosion 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
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.

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
50cm
more than
15c m
more than 2m from the floor
more than 2.5m from the
opposing wall
more than
15c m
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 the laundry or by swimming pool etc.
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
refrigerant charge.
14 Do not install near a doorway.
more than 1.5m
10 Note low temperature soldering alloys are not acceptable.
11 Reusable mechanical connectors may not be used within
indoors or within wall or ceiling cavities where a refrigerant
leak can gather.

Rooftop installation
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 bracket. The fixation of the bracket to the
wall and the bracket to the air conditioner must be firm,
steady and levelled.
