5. Installation
Professional installation is strongly recommended for this mini split system. The following steps provide a general overview. Refer to the detailed instructions in the included user manual for specific guidance.
5.1 Indoor Unit Installation
- Select Location: Choose a location on an interior wall that can support the unit's weight and allows for proper airflow. Ensure there is enough space around the unit for maintenance.
- Mounting Plate Installation: Use the provided bracket template to mark drilling points on the wall. Drill holes and secure the mounting plate firmly to the wall using anchors and screws.
- Drill Wall Hole: Drill a hole (typically 2.5-3 inches in diameter) through the wall for the refrigerant lines, drain hose, and electrical cables to pass through to the outdoor unit.
- Connect Wiring: Open the electrical cover on the indoor unit. Connect the power cable and communication wires to the designated terminals as shown in the wiring diagram. Ensure all connections are secure.
- Route Pipes and Cables: Route the refrigerant pipes, drain hose, and electrical cables through the wall hole.
- Mount Indoor Unit: Carefully lift the indoor unit and hook it onto the mounting plate. Ensure it is securely seated and level.
Video 5.1: This video demonstrates the process of connecting electrical wiring to the indoor unit, routing the pipes and cables, and mounting the indoor unit to the wall. It also shows the connection of the refrigerant lines.
5.2 Outdoor Unit Installation
- Select Location: Choose a stable, level surface outdoors, away from direct sunlight and obstructions, with adequate clearance for airflow.
- Secure Unit: Place the outdoor unit on a sturdy base (e.g., concrete pad or specialized mounting brackets). Secure it to prevent vibration and movement.
- Connect Refrigerant Lines: Connect the pre-charged refrigerant lines from the indoor unit to the corresponding valves on the outdoor unit. Ensure connections are tight to prevent leaks.
- Connect Electrical Wiring: Open the electrical cover on the outdoor unit. Connect the communication wires and power supply wires to the designated terminals. Ensure proper grounding.
- Vacuum and Leak Test: After all connections are made, a vacuum pump must be used to evacuate air and moisture from the refrigerant lines. Perform a leak test to ensure system integrity.
- Open Valves: Once the system is vacuumed and leak-free, fully open the service valves on the outdoor unit to release the refrigerant into the system.
