2. Installation Guide
Important: Installation of this equipment should only be done by a Licensed HVAC Installer to ensure proper function and safety.
2.1 Indoor Unit Installation
- Mounting the Peg Board: Securely mount the metal peg board to the wall at the desired height, ensuring it is level.
- Drilling the Wall Hole: Create a hole at the predetermined position on the wall for the connection pipes and wires to pass through.
- Indoor Unit Preparation: Open the indoor unit's front cover and electrical box. Connect the power line and communication wires to the designated terminals.
- Pipe and Hose Connection: Connect the copper connection pipes (air and liquid), drain hose, and power line to the indoor unit. Ensure all connections are secure.
- Wrapping Connections: Carefully wrap the connection pipes, cables, and drain hose together with insulation tape to create a neat and protected bundle.
- Hanging the Indoor Unit: Hang the indoor unit onto the mounted peg board, ensuring it is firmly seated and fixed.
- Sealing the Wall Hole: Use the provided wall sleeve and putty to seal the hole around the pipe and wire bundle, preventing air and moisture infiltration.
2.2 Outdoor Unit Installation
- Electrical Connections: Open the electrical cover on the outdoor unit. Connect the power supply and communication wires from the indoor unit to the corresponding terminals.
- Refrigerant Pipe Connection: Connect the copper refrigerant pipes from the indoor unit to the outdoor unit's valves. Ensure a tight, leak-free connection.
- Vacuuming the System: A vacuum pump must be used to evacuate air and moisture from the refrigerant lines. This is a critical step for system efficiency and longevity.
- Opening Valves: Once the vacuum process is complete, open the service valves on the outdoor unit to release the pre-charged R32 refrigerant into the system.
- Securing Caps: Replace all protective caps on the service valves and electrical connections.
