Fig. 4 —Distance from Wall or Obstruction
• Do  not  position  the  unit  where  the  discharge  air  could
blow directly on the thermostat.
• Recommended  distance  between  2  units  is  10  feet  to
avoid conflicting airflow and recirculation.
• The  unit  should  not  be  positioned  directly  above  any
obstruction.
• The unit must be installed square and level.
• Condensate drain should have sufficient downward slope
(1  inch  per  100  inches)  in  any  horizontal  run  between
unit and drain. Maximum condensate lift is 29-
1
/
2
 inches.
In case of new construction, once the unit is installed, cover the
fan motor opening using the construction cover board to avoid
any dust and debris from settling inside the unit. Use the M6
bolt, washer and nut as shown in Fig. 5 below.

Step 3 — Mount the Unit
INSTALLING HANGER BOLTS — Install the hanger bolts
at the locations shown in Fig. 7. Use 3/8-inch all-threaded rod.
For unit weight, see Table 3.

Table 3 — Unit Weight
*Includes grille weight.
MOUNTING UNIT — The unit can now be lifted on  to the
hanging rods for mounting.
1. Use rods and fasteners to suspend the unit at the factory-
provided mounting holes. 
2. Adjust  the  height  of  the  unit until  the  bottom  (without
grille) is level with the false ceiling.
3. Secure the unit in position with locknuts and washers on
both sides of  the  unit bracket.  Ensure  that the threaded
rod  does  not  protrude  more  than  2  inches  below  the
mounting brackets as shown in Fig. 8.
IMPORTANT: Be sure that the ceiling grid is supported
separately from the unit. The ceiling grid must not be
supported  by  an  part  of  the  unit  or  any  associated
wiring or piping work.
CAUTION
Remove all buffers between the fan and the flared mouth
before installing the indoor unit. Failure to do so will cause
damage to the fan motor. 
CAUTION
To  avoid  equipment  damage,  ensure  the  unit  is  placed
horizontally.
