Installation Requirements

Verify all components are present and undamaged before installation.

  1. Location Selection: Choose stable wall for indoor unit; level concrete pad for outdoor unit.
  2. Clearance Requirements: Minimum 12 inches clearance around outdoor unit for airflow.
  3. Electrical Requirements: Dedicated circuit with proper voltage and amperage.
  4. Refrigerant Lines: Plan route with minimal bends and proper insulation.
  5. Drain Line: Ensure proper slope for condensate drainage.

WARNING! System contains refrigerant under pressure. Only qualified technicians should perform installation. Follow all local codes and regulations.

Pre-Installation Checklist

Complete these steps before beginning installation.

  1. Verify unit model matches installation requirements
  2. Check electrical supply matches unit specifications
  3. Confirm adequate wall strength for indoor unit mounting
  4. Plan refrigerant line routing with minimal bends
  5. Ensure proper tools available: vacuum pump, manifold gauges, torque wrench
  6. Review local building codes and permit requirements

CAUTION! Wear appropriate PPE including safety glasses and gloves during installation.

Technical Specifications

Controls and Settings

Access system controls via wireless remote or indoor unit buttons.

Remote Control: POWER, MODE, TEMP ▲/▼, FAN SPEED, TIMER, SWING, SLEEP, FILTER RESET.

Electrical Connections

Follow NEC and local electrical codes for all connections.

  1. Turn off main power supply before making connections
  2. Connect indoor and outdoor units with properly sized cables
  3. Use conduit for all exposed wiring
  4. Ensure proper grounding of all components
  5. Install disconnect switch within sight of outdoor unit
  6. Verify correct phase and voltage before energizing

Tip: Use copper conductors only and proper torque specifications for terminal connections.

Refrigerant Line Installation

Proper refrigerant line installation is critical for system performance.

  1. Measure and cut lines to required length with minimal bends
  2. Flare connections using proper flaring tool and gauge
  3. Install line set insulation on both liquid and vapor lines
  4. Connect lines using torque wrench to specified values
  5. Perform leak check with nitrogen before evacuation
  6. Evacuate system to 500 microns or less
  7. Charge system with specified refrigerant amount
  8. Record final pressures and temperatures

WARNING! Never release refrigerant to atmosphere. Recover all refrigerant according to EPA regulations.

System Commissioning

Complete these steps after installation to ensure proper operation.

  1. Verify all electrical connections are secure
  2. Check refrigerant charge using superheat/subcool method
  3. Test all operating modes and fan speeds
  4. Verify proper condensate drainage
  5. Check for unusual vibrations or noises
  6. Measure temperature split across indoor coil
  7. Program remote control and test all functions
  8. Instruct customer on basic operation and maintenance

Maintenance & Cleaning

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity.

Monthly: Clean air filter with vacuum or warm water. Quarterly: Clean indoor coil and check drain line. Annually: Professional inspection of refrigerant charge, electrical components, and overall system performance.

CAUTION! Always disconnect power before performing any maintenance. Do not use harsh chemicals on plastic components.
