4. Configuració i instal·lació
Installation of this mini-split system requires specialized tools and knowledge. It is strongly recommended that installation be performed by a certified HVAC technician.
4.1 Consideracions prèvies a la instal·lació
- Ubicació: Select appropriate locations for both indoor and outdoor units, ensuring proper clearances and structural support.
- Requisits elèctrics: The unit operates on 208/230V. Ensure dedicated electrical circuits meet the system's requirements.
- Conjunt de línies: A 1/4" x 5/8" line set is required (not included).
- Mànega de drenatge: A drain hose is required for condensate removal. The included hose may be short, requiring an extension (e.g., 5/8" ID drain hose).
- Cable de comunicació: A 4-conductor, 14-gauge cable is needed to connect indoor and outdoor units.
- Cable de corrent: A 3-conductor, 12-gauge cable is needed for the outdoor unit to the electrical switch box.
4.2 Key Installation Steps (Overview per a tècnic)
- Mount the indoor unit securely on the wall.
- Install the outdoor unit on a stable, level surface.
- Connect the refrigerant line set between the indoor and outdoor units. Ensure proper flaring and torqueing of connections.
- Connect electrical wiring for power and communication.
- Install the condensate drain line, ensuring proper slope for drainage.
