4. Installation Guide

Important: Installation should be performed by a certified professional to ensure proper function and warranty validity. Self-installation may void the product warranty.

4.1 Pre-installation Considerations

• Room Size: Measure the square footage of the area to be cooled or heated. For this 30,000 BTU unit, it is suitable for areas up to 1,500 sq ft.
• Voltage: This unit operates on 240V. Ensure your electrical system can support this requirement. Larger units typically require 220V/240V systems for efficient and safe operation.
• Indoor Unit Placement: Ensure at least 6 to 8 inches of clearance from the ceiling for optimal air intake and efficient operation. Avoid placing the unit too close to the ceiling.
• Outdoor Unit Placement: Choose a location that allows for proper airflow and is not prone to flooding. Consider using a wall-mounted bracket in flood-prone areas or a raised floor base.

4.2 General Installation Steps (Illustrative Guide)

The following videos provide general guidance on mini-split installation. While these videos feature a DELLA unit, the steps illustrate common practices for split system air conditioners. Always refer to the specific installation manual provided with your PG unit for detailed instructions.

4.3 Line Set and Electrical Connections

• The provided refrigerant tubing is 16 feet long. It can be shortened to as little as 10 feet if needed.
• If the tubing exceeds 25 feet, additional refrigerant will need to be added by a professional to compensate for the extra distance.
• Ensure the drainage hose and tubing running from the indoor unit to the wall hole have a slight downward slope to prevent water accumulation.
• Cover all pipes and connections with insulating tape and the provided plastic cover for a tidy and professional finish.
• Connect the outdoor unit to a disconnect box for safety, allowing quick power shut-off for maintenance or emergencies. The disconnect box should be wired directly to its own dedicated breaker in your main electrical panel.
