Installation
Window Kit Installation
Your portable air conditioner’s Window/Drop Ceiling Kit has been designed to fit most standard vertical and horizontal window applications. It may be necessary to modify some aspects of the installation process for certain types of windows. In both typical and modified installations, the user must determine the fitness of hardware and procedures before mounting. The procedures described in this manual are for common window types and may not be appropriate for all applications.
The Window/Drop Ceiling Kit’s Adapter Board can accommodate a minimum window opening of 26.57 inches (67.5 cm) and a maximum of 49.21 inches (125 cm).
1.Measure your window’s opening and adjust the Adapter Board accordingly. When the correct measurement is determined, lock the board in place using the supplied nut and bolt (see Figure A).
2.Attach the Exhaust/Cooling Duct with the Duct Adapter into the oblong hole in the Window/ Drop Ceiling Kit’s Adapter Board. The adapter will snap into place.
3.Insert the Window/Drop Ceiling Kit’s Adapter Board into your window’s opening as seen in Figure B or C. Vertical or horizontal mounting will depend on your application.
4.Simply close the window appropriately, providing a tight seal against the Window Kit’s
Adapter Board. A tight seal will ensure the unit’s efficiency.
Drop Ceiling Installation
It may be necessary to modify some aspects of the installation process for certain types of ceilings. In both typical and modified installations, the user must determine the fitness of hardware and procedures before installing. The procedures described in this manual may not be appropriate for all applications.
1.Measure the dimensions of your ceiling grid and adjust the Adapter Board accordingly. The Adapter Board should measure slightly longer than the spacing in the grid so that it may rest directly on top of the grid panels. When the correct measurement is determined, lock the board in place using the supplied nut and bolt (see Figure A.)
2.Attach the Exhaust/Cooling Duct with the Duct Adapter into the oblong hole in the Window/ Drop Ceiling Kit’s Adapter Board. The adapter will snap into place.
3.Slide your ceiling tile out of the way and place the Adapter Board inside the ceiling space, on top of the grid panels as seen in the diagram. Note: There should be at least 10 to 15 inches of space above the Exhaust/Cooling Duct so that the duct is not blocked.
4.Slide your ceiling tile back into place as far as it will go. Be sure to slide the tile back as far as it can go to ensure the unit’s efficiency.
Note: The Exhaust Duct (longer tube) can be stretched to a maximum length of 118 inches (300 cm). It is better to keep the duct’s length to a minimum. Excessive stretching or bending of the duct will affect cooling efficiency.
