RECOMMENDED HEIGHT AND LENGTH

If the refrigerant piping is longer than the

recommended length, or if the height

difference between the indoor and outdoor

unit is greater than recommended, the

capacity will drop and the compressor could

malfunction. Select an installation location

that is within the recommended parameters.

• Additional charge volume = (piping length - 23 ft.) x 0.2 oz.
An installation with a piping length of 23 ft. or less is desirable.
If this is not possible, the maximum piping length can be
extended to 50 ft. by charging the system with additional
refrigerant. However, cooling and heating capacity will be
reduced.

INSTALLATION METHOD

HOLE DRILLING: After deciding the

method your unit will be installed, a hole to

route the connecting tubes and wires to the

outdoor unit is to be drilled on the wall. The

hole must be lower than the point where the

drainpipe attaches to the drain pan of the

unit. It should also be slightly declined

towards the outside.
