Step 2 — Locating and Mounting the Unit
LOCATING THE UNIT — Install the unit as centrally as
possible in the room. The air flow
direction can be controlled
by the remote control (where used) or automatically, according
to the unit operating mode (cooling or heating). Controlling
the airflow automatically will ensure optimum distribution of
the air in the room.
In Cooling mode, the louvers should be positioned so that
the air is directed towards the ceiling. Refer to Fig. 3. In Heat-
ing mode, the louvers should be positioned so that the air is di-
rected toward the floor to prevent layers of hot air forming
close to the ceiling. Refer to Fig. 3. The louvers will be auto-
matically positioned when the louvers are set to Automatic
mode. Alternatively, the louvers can be placed in intermediate
positions (with infrared remote accessory kit only) or allowed
to move continuously (Swing mode).
In order to allow easy and rapid installation and mainte-
nance, ensure that the unit is mounted in a location that is easily
accessible.
Restricting Air Outlets
— A maximum of two air outlets can
be restricted at one time. See Fig. 3. The air supply outlet ob-
struction accessory kit can be used to obstruct air outlets. Con-
tact your local dealer for more information.
MOUNTING THE UNIT — Use a stacker to lift the unit to
the installation location. Refer to Fig. 4. If the mounting loca-
tion is in a plaster board ceiling, the maximum dimensions of
the unit housing cutout must not exceed 2 ft, 2 in. square for
40KMC018 units and 2 ft, 11 in. square for 40KMC024,03036
and 40KMQ01824,03036 units.
NOTE: In rooms with high humidity, brackets should be
insulated using self adhesive insulation.
Mark the position of the hangers, refrigerant lines and
condensate drain pipe, power supply cables and remote control
cable (see Fig. 2 for dimensions). The cardboard template
(supplied with the unit) may be used as a guide. Depending on
the type of ceiling, the hangers can be fixed as shown in Fig. 5.
Once the threaded hangers have been positioned, do not
tighten the nuts. Insert the washers as shown in Fig. 5. First
position the refrigerant lines, as described in the Complete
Refrigerant Piping Connections section. Remove the “T” bar in
the ceiling to facilitate installation. See Fig. 6.
Carefully lift the unit (without the frame) using the four sus-
pension brackets (or the four corners), and insert it into the
false ceiling. If the “T” bar cannot be removed from the ceiling
the unit may need to be tilted. See Fig. 7.
NOTE: Tilting the unit may only be carried out with false ceil-
ings with a minimum height of 11 ft-
13
/
16
inches.
Align and level the unit by adjusting the nuts and locknuts on
the threaded hangers, maintaining a distance of 1 in. to 1
3
/
16
in.
between the sheet metal body and the underside of the false ceil-
ing. See Fig. 8. Reposition the “T” bar and align the unit in
relation to the bar by tightening the nuts and locknuts. After
connection of the condensate drain line and the refrigerant lines,
carry out a final check to make sure that the unit is level.
Drilling the Hole for Connection Pipes in the External
Wall — After positioning the units and determining the con-
nection position, drill a 2
3
/
4
in. hole in the wall. The same hole
can be used as a condensate drain pipe conduit. The hole
should have a
3
/
16
in. to
3
/
8
in. slope toward the outside. Refer
to Fig. 9. Insert the plastic conduit. Pass the power connection
cables through the conduit The power connection cables will
be connected in the Make Electrical Connections section.
Running the Condensate Drain Piping
— To ensure correct
condensate water flow, the drain pipe should have a gradient of
2% without obstructions. Additionally, a trap of at least 2 in.
depth should be made to prevent unpleasant odors from reach-
ing the room.
Max. 2 louvers closed
Heat pump: louver position for correct airflow.
Cooling: louver position for correct airflow.
