near the unit.
There should not be any obstacles blocking the air
circulation.
A place where air circulation in the room is good.
A place where drainage can be easily done.
A place where noise prevention is taken into
consideration.
Do not install the unit near the door way.
Ensure the spaces indicated by arrows from the
wall, ceiling, fence or other obstacles.
Mount with the lowest moving parts at least 8ft
(2.4 m) above floor or grade level.
11.1.2 Outdoor Unit
If an awning is built over the unit to prevent direct
sunlight or rain, be careful that heat radiation from
the condenser is not obstructed.
There should not be any animal or plant which
could be affected by hot air discharged.
Keep the spaces indicated by arrows from wall,
ceiling, fence or other obstacles.
Do not place any obstacles which may cause a
short circuit of the discharged air.
If piping length is over the [piping length for
additional gas], additional refrigerant should be
added as shown in the table.
Recommended installation height for outdoor unit
should be above the seasonal snow level.
Be careful not to locate outdoor unit directly under
a roof line where falling snow or ice can cause
damage or dripping water can increase ice
accumulation and defrost cycles.

The center of installation plate should be at more than 1 at right and left of the wall.
The distance from installation plate edge to ceiling should more than 2.
From installation plate left edge to unit’s left side is 3.
From installation plate right edge to unit’s right is 4.
B : For left side piping, piping connection for liquid should be about 5 from this line.
ƻ
: For left side piping, piping connection for gas should be about 6 from this line.
1 Mount the installation plate on the wall with 5 screws or more (at least 5 screws).
(If mounting the unit on the concrete wall, consider using anchor bolts.)
o Always mount the installation plate horizontally by aligning the marking-off line with the thread and using
a level gauge.
2 Drill the piping plate hole with ø2-3/4" (ø70 mm) hole-core drill.
o Line according to the left and right side of the installation plate. The meeting point of the extended line is
the center of the hole. Another method is by putting measuring tape at position as shown in the diagram
above. The hole center is obtained by measuring the distance namely 5-1/16" (128 mm) for left and right
hole respectively.
o Drill the piping hole at either the right or the left and the hole should be slightly slanting to the outdoor
side.
11.2.1 To Drill a Hole in the Wall and
Install a Sleeve of Piping
1 Insert the piping sleeve to the hole.
2 Fix the bushing to the sleeve.
3 Cut the sleeve until it extrudes about 19/32"
(15 mm) from the wall.
CAUTION
When the wall is hollow, please be sure to use the
sleeve for tube assembly to prevent dangers
caused by mice biting the connection cable.
4 Finish by sealing the sleeve with putty or
caulking compound at the final stage.
