General Safety Precautions
1. Instructions for installation and use of this product are provided by the manufacturer.
For proper operation, the system must be installed in accordance with this
installation manual.
2. Installation must be performed in accordance with local laws, regulations and
ational Electrical Codes ( EC).
3. If there is a refrigerant leak while work is being carried out, ventilate the area.
Do not allow refrigerant to come in contact with a flame as it produces toxic gas.
4. Disconnect all electrical power to the indoor and outdoor units until the system is
ready for start-up and checkout.
5. When installing or repairing the system, use only R410A refrigerant. Do not
mix refrigerant with other gases. If air or other gas enter the refrigeration system,
the pressure inside the system may rise to an abnormally high value and cause
damage or injury.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

WARNING
CAUTION
WARNING
WARNING
It is recommended to install the condensate drain system with hard polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe
and matching connectors. Use piping of the same diameter or larger as the unit connection.
The Ceiling Cassette drainage port diameter is 1.2 in. (31mm) OD.
Pitch the condensate drain pipe at a gradual 2.5% pitch (Example: ¼-in drop over a 10-in length)
without obstructions. Use pipe hanger/brackets to support the condensate drain pipe from dropping.
N TE: Insulate condensate hose and/or pipes to prevent sweating which may cause
water stains or wall damage.
The following are recommended gravity drainage systems for the ceiling cassette.

utdoor Unit Pipe Connections
Carefully bend and adjust length of refrigerant pipes to meet
outdoor unit port connections. See installation instructions
shipped with the outdoor unit for further instructions..

PIPING INSTALLATI N
If a gradual pitch from the drainage port is not obtainable, the Ceiling Cassette contains an internal
condensate drain pump with limited head or lift. The condensate drain pipe may have a vertical height of
11-in. (280mm) maximum above the unit drainage port within the first 12-in as long as the remaining
condensate drain pipe gradually descends from that point and is aligned with drainage port.
Use an auxiliary condensate pump with float valve for vertical height greater than of 11-in.
(280 mm) above the unit drainage port. A float valve is recommended to shut off the system if
the auxiliary pump fails.

of the electric company so that the system will operate properly.
6. Provide a GFI circuit breaker at the electrical panel in accordance with the EC and the
local electrical company standards.
7. Connect the power supply firmly to the terminal block. Improper installation may
cause a fire.
WARNING
CAUTION
WARNING
CAUTION
1. The main power supplies are high-voltage, while the communication wire and the Tether
Controller are low-voltage. They should be installed separately to avoid electromagnetic
interference.
2. High-voltage and low-voltage lines should pass through separate rubber rings at electric
box covers.
3. If the indoor unit communication wire (to the outdoor unit) and power wire are connected
incorrectly, the air conditioner may be damaged.
4. Ground both indoor unit and outdoor unit to earth ground in accordance with the applicable
local and national codes.

C NTR LLER INSTALLATI N AND SETUP ( ptional)
The following is a brief overview of the Wired Tether Controller installation. See Tether Controller
Owner's Manual for more detailed instructions for setup and operation.
Preparation for Installation
Select a proper location on the wall for mounting the Tether
Controller. Install switch box, if required by code. The maximum
wire length between indoor and Tether Controller is 26 ft (8m).
Run communication cable (as desired) between indoor unit
and selected wall mounting location. See Indoor Unit wiring
section for instruction to connect the Wired Tether Controller
to the indoor unit.
Wired Tether Controller Installation
Pull communication cable through switch box (if one
is used) and Wired Tether Controller backplate. Securely
fasten backplate to the switch box or wall.
Locate wire terminals connector on rear of Tether
Controller panel. Carefully connect wire to controller
connector. Verify connector is secure, not loose and
no external force on wires affects the connections at
the terminals. Push extra cable into wall and secure
controller panel to backplate mounted on the wall.
N TE: Do not cut or splice communication cable.

Connecting Fresh Air Duct
The indoor ceiling cassettes have a fresh air intake port for ventilation. A booster fan and
duct (field supplied) must be used to feed outdoor air to the indoor unit.
Determine the duct diameter, length and booster fan size based on the required airflow.
See table below for duct and hole sizes:
N TE: Fresh air intake amount should be 10% or less of whole air amount to
prevent condensation.
Unit Size Hole Diameter Duct Diameter
(BtuH) inch (mm) inch (mm)
24,000 4.4 (113) 2.9 (73)
To install fresh air intake:
1. Locate and remove the pre-punched knockouts hole for ventilation duct on ceiling cassette unit.
Do not remove the knockout and open the hole at this point.
2. Remove the factory installed insulation on the outside of ceiling cassette where the pre-punched
knockout was located.
3. Install field supplied ductwork. Recommended ductwork is either an insulated flex duct, or
insulated sheet metal duct suitable for working temperatures up to 140° F (60° C).
4. Use a field-supplied power ventilation fan to increase airflow to meet job requirements.
Follow the manufacturer's installation instructions provided with the power ventilation kit.
5. Install a field supplied air filter to prevent dust and dirt from entering the ceiling cassette unit
and fouling indoor coil.
6. Install a field supplied mechanical duct damper to close during shutdown periods.
7. All metal ductwork should be covered with insulation to prevent condensation forming.
