For a comprehensive visual guide, please refer to the official installation video below. This section provides a step-by-step summary.

4.1. Preparation Before Installation

Before beginning installation, ensure the environment is suitable. Avoid locations near heat or steam sources, or areas with flammable/corrosive gases. Ensure no obstructions around the unit's inlet and outlet. Gather all necessary tools and materials, including a hole saw, multimeter, pipe cutter, hex wrenches, refrigerant, torque wrench, adjustable wrench, tape measure, safety belt, flaring tool, brackets, level, Phillips screwdriver, electroprobe, vacuum pump, pliers, and copper tubing.

4.2. Indoor Unit Installation

1. Select Installation Location: The wall for the indoor unit must be hard, flat, and firm to prevent vibration and noise. Ensure adequate clearance: >15cm to ceiling, >20cm to obstacles on sides, and 230-260cm from the floor.
2. Fix Mounting Plate: Place the mounting plate on the wall and use a level to ensure it is horizontal. Select at least 5 screw positions and punch holes in the wall. Use expansion screw kits to firmly fix the plate. Do not use nails.
3. Drill Wall Hole: Determine where the pipe will go through the wall. Drill a wall hole inclined outward by 5-10 degrees, with a diameter of 60-80mm. Use an anti-dust bag to avoid dust. Avoid wires, plumbing, and gas lines.
4. Install Connection Cable: Pass the power cable out from the back of the indoor unit and fix it on the terminal board. Fix the cable with a clamp.
5. Knock-out Panel: According to the piping direction, remove the knock-out panel with a knife and remove burrs to prevent the drain pipe from being broken.
6. Connect Refrigerant Piping: Use both hands to turn the pipe in the desired direction to avoid deforming or rupturing the tube. Aim at the pipe center, tighten the taper nut with fingers, then tighten with two wrenches. Refer to the torque table for specific pipe sizes.
7. Install Drain Hose: Connect the drain hose with the water outlet pipe and fix it firmly with adhesive tape. The length should be more than 5cm to prevent water leakage.
8. Wrap the Piping: Wrap refrigerant piping, wires, and the drain pipe with wrapping tape.
9. Mount Indoor Unit: Put the refrigerant piping out of the wall hole. Put the indoor unit on the mounting plate. Push the lower part of the indoor unit until a 'click' sound is heard to make sure the indoor unit is firmly fixed to the wall.
10. Pipe Protecting Ring and Putty: To protect piping and wires, a pipe protecting ring shall be installed sealed with putty.

4.3. Outdoor Unit Installation

1. Select Installation Location: The outdoor unit must be installed in a firm and flat place to prevent vibration and noise. Ensure adequate clearance: >20cm to top obstruction, >30cm to side obstructions, >10cm air in side, and >200cm air out side. If installing at a higher place, wear a safety belt and helmet.
2. Install Outdoor Unit Bracket: Use a level to ensure the bracket is horizontal and vertical. Use at least 6 expansion bolts to make sure the brackets are fixed firmly on the wall.
3. Fix Outdoor Unit: Place the outdoor unit onto the installed brackets. Use 4 screws to fix the feet of the outdoor unit to the brackets.
4. Connect Refrigerant Piping: Remove the nut from the stop valves. Aim at the pipe center of the stop valve, tighten the taper nut with fingers, then tighten with two wrenches. Refer to the torque table for specific pipe sizes. Screw on the 2 caps.
5. Fix Cables: Remove the electrical box cover. Fix cables to the terminal board according to the wiring diagram on the E-parts cover. Must follow the wiring diagram inside the box cover. Use a clamp to fix the cables. Put the electrical box cover back.

4.4. Vacuumizing and Refrigerant Charging

1. Vacuumize: Before vacuuming, check all the nuts of the indoor and outdoor unit are tightened. Connect the stop valve, charging hose, manifold valve, and vacuum pump as shown in the diagram. Turn on the handle Lo to vacuumize. Vacuumize for at least 15 minutes, making sure the value on the pressure gauge is ≤0.1MPa.
2. Pressure Test: Keep the pressure for 3-5 minutes after vacuumizing, make sure pressure springback ≤0.05MPa.
3. Open Valves: Open the 1/4 liquid valve and remove the charging hose. Open all the liquid valves and gas valves. Screw all the caps and tighten up.
