4. Installation and Setup

Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance and longevity of your Albott Mini Split system. It is recommended to consult a professional HVAC technician for installation to ensure compliance with local regulations and safety standards.

4.1 General Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the installation location for both indoor and outdoor units is hard, flat, and firm to prevent vibration and noise.
• Avoid installing near heat sources, steam sources, or areas with flammable/explosive gases.
• Maintain adequate clearance around the units for proper airflow (refer to specific diagrams in the full manual).

4.2 Indoor Unit Installation

1. Mounting Plate: Securely fix the mounting plate to the wall using at least 5 expansion screws. Use a level to ensure it is horizontal.
2. Drill Wall Hole: Drill a wall hole for the refrigerant pipes and wires. Ensure the hole is inclined outward by 5-10 degrees and has a diameter of 60-80mm. Avoid wires, plumbing, and gas lines.
3. Connection Cable: Pass the power cable from the back of the indoor unit and fix it to the terminal board. Secure the cable with a clamp.
4. Refrigerant Piping: Connect the copper pipes to the indoor unit. Tighten the taper nuts with fingers first, then use two wrenches to fully tighten to the specified torque (refer to the torque table in the full manual).
5. Drain Hose: Connect the drain hose to the water outlet pipe and secure it with adhesive tape. Ensure the hose is sloped down to prevent water leakage.
6. Wrap Piping: Wrap the refrigerant piping, wires, and drain pipe together with wrapping tape.
7. Mount Indoor Unit: Carefully put the refrigerant piping through the wall hole and mount the indoor unit onto the mounting plate. Push the lower part until a 'click' sound is heard to ensure it's firmly fixed.
8. Seal Wall Hole: Use the pipe protecting ring and putty to seal the wall hole around the pipes and wires.

4.3 Outdoor Unit Installation

1. Select Location: Install the outdoor unit in a firm and flat place to prevent vibration and noise. Ensure proper clearances (e.g., >20cm to obstruction, >10cm air in side, >200cm air out side).
2. Install Bracket: If mounting on a wall, install the outdoor unit bracket using at least 6 expansion bolts. Use a level to ensure it is horizontal and vertical.
3. Fix Outdoor Unit: Place the outdoor unit onto the brackets and fix its feet with 4 screws.
4. Connect Refrigerant Piping: Remove the nuts from the stop valves. Aim at the pipe center of the stop valve, tighten the taper nut with fingers, then use two wrenches to fully tighten to the specified torque.
5. Fix Cables: Remove the electrical box cover. Fix the cables to the terminal board according to the wiring diagram provided inside the box cover. Use clamps to fix cables.

4.4 Vacuuming and Refrigerant

1. Connect Vacuum Pump: Connect the stop valve, charging hose, manifold valve, and vacuum pump as shown in the diagram (refer to full manual for diagram).
2. Vacuumize: Turn on the handle Lo to vacuumize for at least 15 minutes. Ensure the pressure gauge value is ≤0.1MPa (-76cmHg / 500μm). Keep the pressure for 3-5 minutes after vacuumizing; pressure springback should be ≤0.05MPa.
3. Open Valves: Open the 1/4 liquid valve and remove the charging hose. Then, open all the liquid and gas valves. Screw all the caps and tighten them up.

Note on Refrigerant Adjustment:

When the length of the connecting pipe is changed, an extra amount of refrigerant may need to be added or reduced to maintain optimal operation. Refer to the table below:
