3. Installation Overview Multi Split System
Step 1: Select installation location
The outdoor unit should be installed in the location that
meets the following requirements:
þPlace the outdoor unit as close to the indoor unit as
possible.
þEnsure that there is enough room for installation and
maintenance.
þThe air inlet and outlet must not be obstructed or
exposed to strong wind
þEnsure the location of the unit will not be subject to
snowdrifts, accumulation of leaves or other seasonal
debris. If possible, provide an awning for the unit.
Ensure the awning does not obstruct airflow.
þThe installation area must be dry and well ventilated.
þThere must be enough room to install the connecting
pipes and cables and to access them for maintenance.
Step 2: Install Outdoor Unit
Fix the outdoor unit with anchor bolts (M10)
Strong wind
Strong wind
Fig. 3.1
þThe area must be free of combustible gases and
chemicals
þThe pipe length between the outdoor and indoor unit
may not exceed the maximum allowable pipe length.
þIf possible, DO NOT install the unit where it is exposed
to direct sunlight.
þIf possible, make sure the unit is located far away from
your neighbours’ property so that the noise from the
unit will not disturb them.
þIf the location is exposed to strong winds (for
example: near a seaside), the unit must be placed
against the wall to shelter it from the wind. If
necessary, use an awning. Ensure minimum space
requirements are met. (See Fig. 3.1 & 3.2)
þInstall the indoor and outdoor units, cables and wires
at least 1 metre from televisions or radios to prevent
static or image distortion. Depending on the radio
waves, a 1 metre distance may not be enough to
eliminate all interference.

Notes On Drilling Hole In Wall
You must drill a hole in the wall for the refrigerant piping,
and the signal cable that will connect the indoor and
outdoor units.
1. Determine the location of the wall hole based on the
location of the outdoor unit.
2. Using a 65mm core drill, drill a hole in the wall.
3. Place the protective wall cuff in the hole. This protects
the edges of the hole and will help seal it when you
finish the installation process.
NOTE
When drilling the wall hole, make sure to avoid wires,
plumbing, and other sensitive components.
Connecting 7kW Indoor Unit
The 7kW indoor unit can only be connected to the A port,
if there are two 7kW indoor units, they can be connected
to A and B port. (See Fig. 3.9). Please use pipe adaptors
provided.

Drain Joint Installation
Before bolting the outdoor unit in place, you must install
the drain joint at the bottom of the unit. (See Fig. 3.8).
1. Fit the rubber seal on the end of the drain joint that will
connect to the outdoor unit.
2. Insert the drain joint into the hole in the base pan of the
unit.
3. Rotate the drain joint 90° until it clicks in place facing
the front of the unit.
4. Connect a drain hose extension (not included) to the
drain joint to redirect water from the unit during heating
mode.
NOTE
Make sure the water drains to a safe location where it
will not cause water damage or a slipping hazard.
