11. Installation Instruction

11.1 Select the Best Location

11.1.1 Indoor Unit

 Do not install the unit in excessive oil fume area

such as kitchen, workshop and etc.

 There should not be any heat source or steam

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.

Example: For XE9PKUA If the unit is installed at 32.8 ft (10 m) distance, the quantity of additional refrigerant should be 1.64 oz (50

g) .... (32.8 - 24.6) ft x 0.2 oz/ft = 1.64 oz. ((10-7.5) m

x 20 g/m = 50 g)

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.
