Olimpia splendid Maestro Smart - Drilling the Wall; Condensate Discharge Preparation

US-ENG- 8
US-ENGLISH
To drill the holes, proceed as follows:
• Fastenthedrillinginstallationtemplatetothewallwithadhesivetapethatwillnotdamagethesurface,
leavingthenecessaryspacefromtheceiling,oorandsidewallsasshownonthetemplate.Useasmall
drill or punch to mark the exact center of each of the holes to be drilled.
Drill the holes slightly downwards (outside being lowest) to prevent water from being fed back
through the ducts (g. 5).
• Thematerialbeingremovedbydrillingisexpelledoutwardssotheinstallermustinsureitdoesnothit
any person or object when it falls out.
• Tominimizedamage tothe exterior wall,proceed carefullywith thelast part ofhole by decreasing
pressureonthedrill.Next,drilltheholesforanchoringthefasteningbracketstothewallusingasarst
option the 4 holes on the ends of the bracket as shown on the drilling template.
• Ifthewallisnotverysolid,itisadvisabletouseextraanchorbolts.Asshownontheinstallationtemplate,
the bracket can be fastened in a number of different ways and positions.
• Themajorityoftheweightoftheunitisontherightsidetoensurethatthemountinghardwareisappro-
priate for the weight.
In all cases the wall should be inspected carefully to determine the best possible anchorage and type
ofboltssuitableforyourspecicapplication.
Olimpia Splendid shall not be held liable for any underestimates made in the
structural consistency of the wall or the anchoring materials used by the installer.
As such pay close attention when mounting the units to avoid the potential for
serious injury to people or damage to property if carried out incorrectly.
When installing heat pump models, if no condensate line are built into the wall, it will be necessary
to drill a hole through the wall as shown on the installation template.
2.4.2 - PREPARING THE CONDENSATE DISCHARGE (g.7)
• Forheatpumpsconnecttheunittothecondensatedischargeexiblerubberhose(providedwiththe
unit) by coupling it to the condensate drain valve on the back of the unit (remove the valve cap 6a).
Whenthemaxlevelisreached,asolenoidvalveensuresthecondensatewillowoutfromtheinternal
condensate drain pan.
• Forairconditioningunitsconnectthecondensatedischargeexiblerubberhoseifyouintendrunning
the unit at low outdoor temperatures below 73ºF (23°C). Since the condensate drains by gravity, there
must be a minimum slope of at least 3% at every point of the discharge line.
• Usearigidorexibletubehavinganinsidediameterofatleast6.3”(160mm).
If the line drains into a sewerage system, assuming local and/or national codes allow this practice, install
a trap before the point in which the pipe reaches the main discharge, at least 12” (300 mm) below the
inletfromtheunit(g.8).
• Ifthedrainpipedrainsintoavessel(tankorothercontainer),thiscontainershouldnotbesealed,andthe
drainpipeshouldnotremainimmersedinthewater(seeg.9).Theholethroughwhichthecondensate
pipepassesshouldalwaysslopetowardstheoutside(seeg.5).Theexactpositioninwhichtoplace
the pipe inlet, as compared to the unit, is shown on the drilling installation template.
Make certain the condensate disposed outside does not damage or disturb persons or property.
During cold weather when the ambient temperature drops below 32ºF (0°C), the condensate may
cause sheets of ice to form. When the condensate lines are installed ensure you do not compress
or kink the rubber hose.
