Basic Installation Guide Lines for Split Air Conditioning Systems

Your new system shall arrive complete with an indoor air handler a condensing unit, which will need to be located externally, and an infra red remote controller.

The indoor air handler has a back plate for easy hanging on the wall, the front casing is easily attached to this back plate.

Outdoor condensing units can be located at ground floor level, flat roofs or at high wall level on purpose built brackets.

Both the indoor and external units are interconnected via two refrigerant pipes, both must be lagged with armaflex for protection and stop any condensation. 

Once the copper pipe is installed in place the ends need to be flared ready for connection directly on the indoor and outdoor units.  Please note the open ends of the pipework must be kept sealed, clean and dry at all times otherwise dirt or moisture will contaminate the system causing failure.

Both indoor and outdoor units require a suitable interconnecting electrical supply.  The initial electrical supply shall be required 1m from either the indoor or outdoor location, depending upon which system you are installing. (locations for each model are displayed under the technical data)

Air conditioning produces condensate water, evaporated from the room, this will need to be disposed of.  Drainage water can either be gravity fed to a suitable outlet or via the use of a condensate pump be mechanically pumped away.

Once installed correctly the inter connecting pipe work and indoor air handler shall need the air to be evacuated to remove any moisture etc. 

Whilst the systems are precharged with refrigerant to approx 5 m the correct quantity of refrigerant must be adheared to.  Incorrect refrigerant quantities will effect preformance and operation and cause possible damage to components.

We strongly recommend an experienced engineer evacuates the air and ensures the refrigerant is correctly weighed into the system, commissions and checks for possible refrigerant leaks prior to operation.

Once installed correctly and fully commissioned your new air conditioning system is ready for use.
