4. Setup and Installation

Proper installation is crucial for the performance and longevity of your mini split system. It is highly recommended that installation be performed by a certified HVAC technician. The following steps provide a general overview.

4.1. Indoor Unit Placement and Template Fixation

Select a suitable location for the indoor unit, ensuring adequate clearance around the unit for airflow and maintenance. Use the provided installation template to mark the drilling points for the mounting plate and the wall-through hole for the refrigerant lines and electrical connections.

4.2. Mounting Bracket and Wall-Through Hole

Securely attach the mounting plate to the wall using appropriate fasteners. Drill the wall-through hole with a slight downward angle towards the exterior to ensure proper drainage.

4.3. Electrical Connections (Indoor Unit)

Connect the interconnection cord to the indoor unit's terminal block. Ensure all connections are tight and match the wiring diagram in the owner's manual. The wires are typically numbered and color-coded for ease of connection.

4.4. Installing Connection Pipes and Mounting Indoor Unit

Feed the refrigerant pipes, drain hose, and electrical cables through the wall-through hole. Connect the refrigerant pipes to the indoor unit, ensuring proper flaring and tightening. Mount the indoor unit onto the wall mounting plate.

4.5. Outdoor Unit Placement and Connection

Place the outdoor unit on a stable, level surface or a dedicated wall-mount bracket (purchased separately). Connect the refrigerant pipes and electrical wiring from the indoor unit to the corresponding ports on the outdoor unit. Ensure all connections are secure and weatherproofed.

4.6. Vacuum Treatment and Refrigerant Release

Before releasing refrigerant, a vacuum pump must be used to evacuate the system, removing all air and moisture. Once the system holds a vacuum, carefully open the service valves on the outdoor unit to release the pre-charged R32 refrigerant into the system. Check for any leaks at all connection points.

4.7. Final Electrical Connections (Outdoor Unit)

Complete the electrical connections at the outdoor unit, ensuring proper grounding and adherence to the wiring diagram. Verify that the power supply is correctly connected and protected by a safety switch.
