Select the Installation Location for Wall-Mounted Indoor UnitsUpdated 2 days ago

Introduction

This article explains how to select the installation location for indoor units of wall-mounted systems, excluding Quantum Fresh High-Wall (WYT-FA) systems. 

This article is for the following systems: 

• Diamante Essenza High-Wall (WYT-17)
• Diamante Pro High-Wall (WYT-20)
• Quantum Ultra High-Wall (WYT-24)
• Quantum Hyperformance High-Wall (WYT-25)

Install the indoor unit inside the room intended for air conditioning. Avoid corridors and communal areas. Before starting the installation, select the positions of both the indoor and outdoors units. Follow the minimum clearance requirements for both the indoor and outdoor units.

Select the Location

Follow the tolerances depicted in the illustration below: 

Follow these best practices for selecting the optimal installation location:

• Do not install the unit on a wall that is subject to vibrations. 
• Do not install the system near sources of heat, steam, of flammable gases. 
• Do not install the indoor unit in a location that is exposed to direct sunlight. 
• Ensure that the inlet and outlet vents are not obstructed. The system should be able to output air all across the room. 
• Minimize the distance between the indoor and outdoor units. Install the unit in a location where connecting the indoor and outdoor units will be as simple as possible. 
• Install the unit on a strong wall and where it is easy to drain the condensate water. 
• Install the unit in a location where it will be easy to service the product and perform any necessary maintenance. 

Installation Diagram

• Install the indoor unit so that its bottom is at least 6 feet (1.8 m) above the floor. 
• Ensure adequate space above the air handler for return airflow (4-6 inches, ideally 8 inches / 102-152 mm, ideally 203 mm). 
• For 12K and 18K systems: Follow the given constraints in the above figure. 
• For 24K and 36K systems: The allowable height differential increases to 50 feet / 15 m (24K) and 65 feet / 20 m (36K). The allowable pipe length is 65 feet / 20 m (24K) and 100 feet / 30.5 m (36K).
