Step 3: Drill wall hole for connective piping Correct orientation of Mounting Plate
1. Determine the location of the wall hole based
on the position of the mounting plate. Refer to
the Mounting Plate Dimensions.
2. Use a 2.5 inches or 3.54 inches (depending on
models ) core drill to drill a hole in the wall.
Make sure that the hole is drilled at a slight
downward angle, so that the outdoor end of
the hole is lower than the indoor end by about
0.2 to 0.275 inches. This will ensure proper
water drainage.
3. Place the protective wall cuff in the hole. This
protects the edges of the hole and will help
seal it when you finish the installation process.

Refrigerant Piping Connection

When connecting refrigerant piping, do not let substances or gases other than the specified refrigerant
enter the unit. The presence of other gases or substances will lower the unit’s capacity, and can cause
abnormally high pressure in the refrigeration cycle. This can cause explosion and injury.

Note on Pipe Length


The length of refrigerant piping will affect the performance and energy efficiency of the unit. Nominal
efficiency is tested on units with a pipe length of 16.5ft. In North America, the standard pipe length is 25ft.
A minimum pipe run of 10ft is required to minimize vibration & excessive noise.
Refer to below table for specifications on the maximum length and drop height of piping.

Note on Adding Refrigerant


Some systems require additional charging depending on pipe lengths. The standard pipe length varies
according to local regulations. For example, in North America, the standard pipe length is 25ft. In other
areas, the standard pipe length is 16ft. The refrigerant should be charged from the service port on the
outdoor unit’s low pressure valve. The additional refrigerant to be charged can be calculated using the
following formula:

Electrical and Gas Leak Checks

BEFORE TEST RUN


Only perform test run after you have completed the following steps:
• Electrical Safety Checks - Confirm that the unit’s electrical system is safe and operating properly.
After installation, confirm that all electrical wiring is installed in accordance with local and national
regulations, and according to the Installation Manual.
• Gas Leak Checks - Check all flare nut connections and confirm that the system is not leaking.
• Confirm that gas and liquid (high and low pressure) valves are fully open.
• Check Grounding work - Measure grounding resistance by visual detection and with grounding
resistance tester. Grounding resistance must be less than 0.10.
Note: This may not be required for some locations in the US.

DURING TEST RUN


1. Check for Electrical Leakage
During the Test Run, use an electro-probe and multimeter to perform a comprehensive electrical leakage
test. If electrical leakage is detected, turn off the unit immediately and call a licensed electrician to find
and resolve the cause of the leakage.
Note: This may not be required for some locations in the US.

WARNING - RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK


ALL WIRING MUST COMPLY WITH LOCAL AND NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODES, AND MUST BE INSTALLED BY
A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN.

2. Gas Leak Checks


There are two different methods to check for gas leaks.
• Soap and Water Method
Using a soft brush, apply soapy water or liquid detergent to all pipe connection points on the indoor unit
and outdoor unit. The presence of bubbles indicates a leak.
• Leak Detector Method
If using leak detector, refer to the device’s operation manual for proper usage instructions.
• After Performing Gas Leak Checks
