This document provides installation instructions for the DLFSDA and DLFLDA Ducted Style Ductless Systems, covering sizes 09 to 58. It includes safety considerations, parts lists, system requirements, wiring diagrams, dimensions, installation and maintenance clearances, indoor unit installation procedures, external static pressure settings, fan performance data, electrical data, connection diagrams, start-up instructions, and troubleshooting guides.

Function Description:

The DLFSDA and DLFLDA units are ducted style ductless systems designed for air conditioning. They are intended for indoor installation, typically within a false ceiling, and are connected to an outdoor unit. The system provides cooling and heating capabilities, with various fan speed settings and airflow adjustment options. Some models include a built-in condensate lift pump, while others require an external pump for horizontal installation. The units are designed to integrate with ductwork for air distribution.
