Setup and Installation
The Klimaire Mini-Split system is designed for straightforward installation, with many components pre-charged and pre-flared to simplify the process. While DIY installation is possible for some, it is highly recommended to consult with or hire a licensed HVAC professional for the final steps, such as vacuuming lines and checking refrigerant levels, to ensure optimal performance and warranty validity.
Installation Steps Overview:
- Mounting the Indoor Unit: Secure the indoor fan coil to the wall using the provided mounting bracket. Ensure proper leveling and clearance for air circulation.
- Mounting the Outdoor Unit: Place the outdoor condenser on a stable concrete pad or use the included wall mounting bracket.
- Connecting Refrigerant Lines: Connect the pre-flared 16’ copper lines between the indoor and outdoor units. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks.
- Electrical Connections: Connect the electrical whip and interconnecting wire cables to both units and the 30A fusible disconnect switch. Refer to the wiring diagram in the detailed installation guide for specific connections.
- Drainage: Install the flexible condensate drain hose from the indoor unit to ensure proper water drainage.
- Vacuuming and Charging: A licensed technician should vacuum the refrigerant lines to remove air and moisture, and verify the R410A refrigerant charge.
- Finishing Touches: Use the line set cover kit, wall filler putty, and decorative wall cap for a clean and professional finish.
Important: Improper installation can lead to system malfunction, reduced efficiency, and voiding of warranty. Always follow local electrical and HVAC codes.
