4.2. Indoor Unit Installation

The indoor unit should be mounted on a sturdy wall, ensuring adequate clearance from the ceiling, walls, and floor for optimal airflow and maintenance. Use the provided mounting plate as a template to mark drilling points. Securely fasten the mounting plate to the wall using appropriate screws and anchors. Connect the communication wires, power line, and copper pipes to the indoor unit as per the detailed instructions in the user manual. Ensure all connections are tight and properly insulated.

4.3. Outdoor Unit Installation

The outdoor unit should be placed on a level, stable surface, such as a concrete pad or a dedicated mounting bracket, to minimize vibration and noise. Ensure there is sufficient clearance around the unit for proper airflow and heat dissipation. Connect the copper pipes and electrical wiring from the indoor unit to the outdoor unit. All connections must be sealed and insulated to prevent leaks and ensure efficiency.

4.4. Electrical Connections

All electrical wiring must comply with local and national electrical codes. The Garvee 12000 BTU Mini-Split Heat Pump operates on 110V. Ensure the power supply is disconnected before making any electrical connections. Connect the power line and communication wires to the designated terminals on both the indoor and outdoor units. Verify all connections are secure and correctly polarized.

4.5. Piping and Drainage

Connect the pre-charged copper lineset between the indoor and outdoor units. Ensure the connections are tight to prevent refrigerant leaks. The drain pipe should be routed to allow for continuous downward slope, preventing water accumulation and ensuring proper condensate drainage away from the unit and building foundation.
