Soloclim GB General
The air conditioning unit Soloclim is the new solution
that represents a significant step towards reducing the
aesthetic impact of air conditioners. With a depth of just 16
centimetres, Soloclim is the most compact and least bulky of
the category. Its aesthetic impact is therefore minimal, both
inside and out.
Optimised Capacities
The conditioning capacities of Soloclim have been optimised
so as to obtain the right temperature for the best level of
comfort and, therefore, less consumption and less noise.
Thanks to the careful choice of sound insulation materials,
the noise is similar to that of a standard wall split unit and
consumption is drastically contained thanks to the new
direct current fan.
162 millimetre holes
An important choice not only for the design, but also for
a significant installation advantage: easier to find drilling
tools, no need for professional drills, even less aesthetic
encumbrance.
BLDC inverter technology
We have perfected the Inverter technology to offer the
best in terms of acoustic comfort (noise) and performance:
reduction of consumptions, maintenance of the best
temperature level and humidity level in the room.
Thanks to the use of the cutting edge BLDC (brushless
direct current) Inverter regulation, vibrations have been
completely eliminated and acoustic emissions have been
lowered to exceptional levels.
Both ventilation motors are BLDC to reduce consumption
still further and make flow adjustment more precise.
The packing is made of suitable material and carried out by
expert personnel. All units are checked and tested and are
delivered complete and in perfect conditions, however please
perform the following instructions to check the quality of
shipping services:
- upon receipt, check if the box is damaged.If that is
the case, accept the goods with reservations and keep
photographic evidence of any damage found
- unpack and check the contents against the packing list.
- check that none of the parts have been damaged
during shipment.In case of damage, report it to the
shipping company within 3 days of receipt by registered
letter with return receipt and attaching photographic
documentation. A copy should also be sent by fax to the
MANUFACTURER. No notice of damage will be accepted
after 3 days from delivery.
Description
Storage
The energy consumption is extremely reduced thanks to
absorption values falling down under 300 W in the case
of partial load. At the nominal cooling power of 2.35 kW
Soloclim has an EER equal to 3.24 (10 HP) and 3.22 (12
HP) which allows an energy efficiency ratio of “A+” to be
obtained, this is the cutting edge in the sector of monobloc
climate control systems with fixed installation.
Easy to install
Soloclim can be installed on any perimeter wall either low or
high. Everything needed for installation (template, support
bracket, hole pipes and external grids), excluding the drill, is
included in the box.
Folding external grids
Soloclim is equipped with folding grids activated by inlet
and outlet air.They open when the unit is working and
close when it's turned off. Better indoor comfort, less dust,
noise and pollution, less maintenance and even less outdoor
visibility.
Remote control and touch-screen display
In addition to the remote control, the touch-screen display
on the unit enables the setting of any function.There's even a
"lock" mode to avoid any improper use. With a simple action
on the touch screen display, the "heating" function can be
deactivated: the appliance will then operate in "cooling" only,
without the need for the condensate discharge pipe. The
orientation of the air flaps can also be adjusted by simply
pressing one key.Receipt and unpacking
Keep the packing at least through the warranty
period, in case you need to ship the air-conditioner to
the service centre for repair. Dispose of the packing
materials in compliance with current regulations on
waste disposal.
Store the box in a closed environment protected from
atmospheric agents and isolate it from the floor using planks
or pallets.

GB Installation
Before installing the conditioner, it is essential to calculate
the summer thermal loads (and winter ones for the models
with a heat pump) of the room. The more calculations
are exact, the better the product will work. Please
refer to current regulations to carry out calculations.
For big installations please call a study specialised in
thermotechnics.
For a better performance of the appliance and to avoid
malfunctions or dangerous situations, the location of the unit
must meet the following requisites:
- Respect the minimum distances indicated in the picture.
- The wall on which you wish to anchor the unit must be
robust and able to support its weight.
- Leave enough space around the unit to perform
maintenance operations.
- Nothing must obstruct the air flow both in the top suction
part (curtains, plants, furniture) and in the lower outlet
part, as it could cause vibrations which might prevent the
appliance from working correctly
The appliance must be installed against a wall
communicating with the outside.
The appliance is declared to have a degree of protection
IPX0, therefore it is not suitable for outdoor installation.
Installation
Installation mode
Choosing the position of the unit
Try to reduce the thermal refrigeration load of the room
following instructions below:
- Cover large windows exposed to sunlight with curtains
or with external maskings (blinds, porches, reflecting
films, etc.).
- The room must remain closed for as long as possible.
- Avoid turning on halogen lamps or other high energy
consumption appliances such as small ovens, steam
irons, cooking plates etc.
Check that there are no structures or systems (beams,
pillars, hydraulic pipes, electrical cables etc.) in the part
that must be drilled. Check that nothing is placed in front
of the holes thus obstructing the air flow (plants and
leaves, panelling, shutters, thick grates or grids, etc.)
The unit shouldn't be installed in a position where the air
flow aims directly at the people nearby;
Do not force the air flap open;
The appliance must not be installed directly above
another electrical appliance (TV, radio, fridge, etc.) or
above a source of heat.w

Soloclim GB Installation
For the unit to work, two holes Ø162 must be placed as
indicated on the template;
The maximum length of the holes is 1 m and there must
be no bends. Use the supplied grids or grids with the
same characteristics.
The holes on the wall must be drilled using suitable
equipment that facilitates your work and that does not cause
damage or excessive inconvenience to Your client. The best
tools to make big holes on walls are special drills (called
"core drills") with a high torque and whose speed can be
adjusted according to the diameter of the hole to make and
to the material. In order to avoid excessive dust and debris
in the room, "core drills" can be combined with suction
systems composed of a vacuum connected to e.g. a suction
cup placed next to the perforation tip.
In order to make the holes, proceed as follows:
- Place the drilling template provided against the wall
respecting the minimum distances: from the ceiling,
from the floor and from the side walls, indicated on the
template itself, which can be held in the correct position
by using some tape.
- Mark the centre of each hole with a small drill or a
punch before actual drilling.
- Using the core drill, make two holes for inlet and outlet
air.
The holes must be drilled slightly downwards to prevent
water from entering.
A Holes for M8 plugs
B Electrical connection area
CØ162 mm Holes for air channelling
DØ14 mm Condensation drain
E Anti-lifting bracket hole
The majority of the removed material is expelled outwards,
so please be careful that it doesn't hit people or objects. In
order to avoid breaking the outer plaster, be careful while
drilling the final part of the hole and ease the pressure on the
core drill.
Drill the 6 holes for the bracket as indicated on the template.
The appliance weights more on the right, so make sure to
secure it properly on this side. The holes must have an 8 mm
diameter to accommodate the 6 supplied plugs.
A thorough examination of the characteristics and
consistency of the wall must always be carried out to
determine the amount of fixings to be made and to
choose specific plugs in particular conditions. In the case
of installation on a plasterboard or on walls with low
consistency arrange, if necessary on the outside, a bracket
that can support the machine safely.
The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for
any underestimates of the structural consistency of
the anchoring arranged by the installer. We therefore
encourage you to pay the utmost attention to this
operation as, if performed badly, it could cause serious
damage to people and objects.
Drill a hole in the position indicated on the template
for those heat-pump appliances without a condensation
drain built in the wall in order to enable the draining of
condensation.
A hole is also indicated on the template to secure the
machine on the wall with an anti-lifting bracket, which
is already on the machine.
Assembling the unit

10
Soloclim
GB Installation
For heat pump appliances, a condensation drain pipe (Ø10
mm, internal, not supplied) must connect the unit to the
pipe on the top part of the appliance.
A solenoid valve will start the flow of the condensation from
the internal collection tray when the maximum level has
been reached. For cooling only appliances, said pipe must
be connected if the appliance is going to be used with low
external temperatures (below 23°C). The drainage occurs by
gravity. For this reason, it is essential for the line to have at
least a 3% minimum slope in every point. The pipe to be used
can be rigid or flexible with a minimum inner diameter of
10 mm. If the line flows into a sewer system, it is necessary
to add a siphon before placing the pipe into the main drain.
Said siphon must be placed at least 300 mm under the
mouth of the appliance.
1 Safety drain to empty tray
2 Condensation drain duct
Once the holes have been made, place the supplied plastic
sheets inside them.
Roll up the sheet and insert it in the hole, checking that the
A junction line is aiming upwards.
Use a cutter to remove any excess pipe.
To place the external grids, proceed as follows:
- connect the chains to the ends of the springs;
- fold the external shutters;
- insert your arm in the hole to push the shutter outside
while holding the ends of the chains with the other hand
to prevent them from falling down;
- open the shutter inside the hole;
- rotate the shutter to bring the flap in the vertical C
position and check that the closing mechanism works;
- pull the chains by tensioning the springs;
- use a bolt cutter to remove any excess chain.
- anchor the hook of the chain to wall B.
Condensation drain predisposition
If the line flows into a container (e.g. a tank), do not
close the container hermetically and avoid immersing
the draining pipe into the water.
The hole for the condensation pipe must always lean
towards the outside.
The exact position in which to place the pipe mouth is
indicated on the template.
Check that the expelled water does not cause any
damage or problems to people or objects. During winter,
this water may create sheets of ice outside.
When connecting the condensation drain, be careful not
to squeeze the rubber duct.
It is possible to empty the collection tray using the
safety drain at the base of the appliance if necessary.
Assembling air ducts and external shutters
Use only the supplied grids or grids with the same
characteristics.
The shutters must be positioned with the flap in vertical.
The shutters are different. Should be distinguished from
that position on the recovery from the one place on the
delivery, according to the opening direction of the fins.

OF Maximum level float intervention
During cooling and dehumidification, electronics switches the compressor off and keeps the
water distribution system active with the battery - together with the fan - to disperse excess
water in the container. During heating, condensations should drain freely through the specific
pipe. In the event of an alarm, check that the condensation pipe is not bent or obstructed, thus
preventing the water from flowing out.
