Introduction
This article explains how to prepare the ceiling for Quantum Ultra Eight-Way Ceiling Cassette (CYT-24) indoor units.
Notes
- Consult a qualified professional for a structural evaluation and specific guidance.
- Installation methods may vary depending on the structure of the ceiling. Make sure that the ceiling can support the unit's weight.
Steps
1. Cut the ceiling opening based on this diagram and dimensions.
| Model (BTU) | A1 x A2 | B | C |
| 9,500K - 16,000K | (A1) 20-3/4 in / 528 mm (A2) 20-3/4 in / 528 mm | 22-1/2 in / 570 mm | 25-5/8 in / 650 mm |
| 23,000K | (A1) 30-3/4 in in / 780 mm (A2) 27-1/8 in / 690 mm | 33-1/8 in / 840 mm | 37-3/8 in / 950 mm |
2. After cutting the ceiling opening, ensure the ceiling surface is level and structurally reinforced to prevent vibration. For wooden joists, secure the opening using angle irons or Unistrut channels. Cut and remove any obstructing beams within the opening area.
3. Reinforce the surrounding structure to compensate for the removed beams and support the weight of the unit. It may be necessary to add extra support.
