• The outdoor unit must be installed in such a way, so as to prevent short circuit of the hot discharged air or
obstruction to the smooth air flow. Please follow the installation clearance shown in the figures below. Select
the coolest possible place where intake air temperature is not greater than the outside air temperature
(maximum 45°C/113°F)
• Where a wall or other obstacle is in the path of outdoor unit’s intake or exhaust airflow, follow the installation
guidelines below.
• For any of the below installation patterns, the wall height on the exhaust side should be 1200mm or less.
More than 100

• There are 2 holes on the base of Outdoor Unit for
condensed water to flow out. Insert the drain elbow
to one of the holes.
• To install the drain elbow, first insert one portion
of the hook to the base (portion A), then pull the
drain elbow in the direction shown by the arrow
while inserting the other portion to the base. After
installation, check to ensure that the drain elbow
clings to base firmly.
• If the unit is installed in a snowy and chilly area,
condensed water may freeze in the base. In such
case, please remove plug at the bottom of unit to
smooth the drainage.

Preliminary Site Survey
• Electrical supply and installation is to confirm to local authority’s (e.g. National Electrical Board) codes and
regulations.
• Voltage supply fluctuation must not exceed ± 10% of rated voltage. Electricity supply lines must be
independent of welding transformers which can cause high supply fluctuation.
• Ensure that the location is convenient for wiring, piping and drainage.
• The indoor unit must be installed in such that free from any obstacles in path of cool air discharge and
warm air return, and must allow spreading or air throughout the room (near the centre of the room).
• Clearance must be provided for the indoor unit from the wall and obstacles as shown in the figure.

• The installation place must be strong enough to support a load of 4 times the indoor unit weight to avoid
amplifying noise and vibration.
• The installation place (handling ceiling surface) must be level and the height in the ceiling is 350mm or
more.

• The indoor unit must be away from heat and steam sources (avoid installing it near an entrance).
• Measure and mark the position for the hanging rod. Drill the hole for the angle nut on the ceiling and fix
the hanging rod.
• The installation template is extended according to temperature and humidity. Check on dimensions in
using.
• The dimensions of the installation template are same as those of the ceiling opening dimensions.
• Before ceiling laminating work is completed, be sure to fit the installation template to the indoor unit.
Note: Be sure to discuss the ceiling drilling work with the installers concerned.

• Hold the unit and hand it on the hanging rod with the nut and washer.
• Adjust the unit height to 35.0mm between the indoor unit bottom surface and the ceiling surface.
• Confirm with a level gauge that the unit is installed horizontally and tighten the nut and bol to prevent unit
falling and vibration.
• Open the ceiling board along the outer edge of the paper installation template.

Standard Mounting
Ensure that the overhead supports are strong enough to hold the weight of the unit. Position the hanger rods
(wall mounting bracket for floor standing), and check for its alignment with the unit as shown in Fig. below.
Also,check that the hangers are secured and the base of the fan coil unit is leveled in both horizontal
directions, taking into account the gradient for drainage flow as recommended under section Piping and
Drain Hose Installation.

14
M5MSY_(i) Application Information
Please ensure that the following steps are taken:
• Check the gradient for drainage flow as recommended in Figure A.
• Provide clearance for easy servicing and optimal air flow as shown in Figure B.
• The indoor unit must be installed such that there is no short circuit of the cool discharge air with the warm
return air.
• Do not install the indoor unit where there is direct sunlight shining on the unit. The location should be suit-
able for piping and drainage installation. The unit must be a large distance away from the door.

REFRIGERANT PIPING
Piping Length & Elevation
If the pipe is too long, both capacity and reliability of the unit will drop. As the number of bends increases,
resistance to the flow of refrigerant system increases, thus lowering cooling capacity. As a result, the
compressor may become defective. Always choose the shortest path and not exceed the maximum piping
length as tabulated below.
