Installation Instructions – Indoor Unit

PRIOR TO INSTALLATION

Before installing the indoor unit, refer to the label on the product box to make sure that the model number of the indoor unit matches the model number of the outdoor unit.

Step 1: Select installation location

Before installing the indoor unit, you must choose an appropriate location. The following are standards that will help you choose an appropriate location for the unit.

Proper installation locations meet the following standards:

√ Good air circulation

√ Convenient drainage

√ Noise from the unit will not disturb other people

☑ Firm and solid—the location will not vibrate

☑ Strong enough to support the weight of the unit

A location at least one meter from all other electrical devices (e.g., TV, radio, computer)

☐ A place where drainage can be easily done.

☐ A place where noise prevention is taken into consideration.

☐ Do not install the unit near a doorway.

DO NOT install unit in the following locations:

∅ Near any source of heat, steam, or combustible gas
∅ Near flammable items such as curtains or clothing
Near any obstacle that might block air circulation
∅ Near the doorway
∅ In a location subject to direct sunlight

NOTE ABOUT WALL HOLE:

If there is no fixed refrigerant piping:

While choosing a location, be aware that you should leave ample room for a wall hole (see

Drill wall hole for connective piping step) for the signal cable and refrigerant piping that connect the indoor and outdoor units.

The default position for all piping is the right side of the indoor unit (while facing the unit). However, the unit can accommodate piping to both the left and right.

Refer to the following diagram to ensure proper distance from walls and ceiling:

Whynter MSFS-012H11517-01NE - Refer to the following diagram to ensure proper distance from walls and ceiling: - 1

Fig. 3.1

Step 2: Attach mounting plate to wall

The mounting plate is the device on which you will mount the indoor unit.

  1. Remove the screw that attaches the mounting plate to the back of the indoor unit.
  2. Place the mounting plate against the wall in a location that meets the standards in the Select Installation Location step. (See Mounting Plate Dimensions for detailed information on mounting plate sizes.)
  3. Drill holes for mounting screws in places that:

• have studs and can support the weight of the unit
- correspond to screw holes in the mounting plate

  1. Secure the mounting plate to the wall with the screws provided.

  2. Make sure that mounting plate is flat against the wall.

NOTE FOR CONCRETE OR BRICK WALLS:

If the wall is made of brick, concrete, or similar material, drill 5mm-diameter (0.2in-diameter) holes in the wall and insert the sleeve anchors provided. Then secure the mounting plate to the wall by tightening the screws directly into the clip anchors.

Step 3: Drill wall hole for connective piping

You must drill a hole in the wall for refrigerant piping, the drainage pipe, and the signal cable that will connect the indoor and outdoor units.

  1. Determine the location of the wall hole based on the position of the mounting plate. Refer to Mounting Plate Dimensions on the next page to help you determine the optimal position. The wall hole should have a 65mm (2.5in) diameter at least, and at a slightly lower angle to facilitate drainage.

  2. Using a 65mm (2.5in) or 90mm(3.54in) (depending on models) core drill, drill a hole in the wall. Make sure that the hole is drilled at a slight downward angle, so that the outdoor end of the hole is lower than the indoor end by about 5mm to 7mm (0.2-0.275in). This will ensure proper water drainage. (See Fig. 3.2)

  3. Place the protective wall cuff in the hole. This protects the edges of the hole and will help seal it when you finish the installation process.

CAUTION

When drilling the wall hole, make sure to avoid wires, plumbing, and other sensitive components.

NOTE: When the gas side connective pipe is 16mm(5/8in) or more, the wall hole should be 90mm(3.54in).

Step 4: Prepare refrigerant piping

The refrigerant piping is inside an insulating sleeve attached to the back of the unit. You must prepare the piping before passing it through the hole in the wall. Refer to the Refrigerant Piping Connection section of this manual for detailed instructions on pipe flaring and flare torque requirements, technique, etc.

  1. Based on the position of the wall hole relative to the mounting plate, choose the side from which the piping will exit the unit.

  2. If the wall hole is behind the unit, keep the knock-out panel in place. If the wall hole is to the side of the indoor unit, remove the plastic knock-out panel from that side of the unit. (See Fig. 3.3). This will create a slot through which your piping can exit the unit. Use needle nose pliers if the plastic panel is too difficult to remove by hand.

Whynter MSFS-012H11517-01NE - Step 4: Prepare refrigerant piping - 1

text_image Knock-out Panel

Fig. 3.3

  1. Use scissors to cut down the length of the insulating sleeve to reveal about 15cm (6in) of the refrigerant piping. This serves two purposes:

• To facilitate the Refrigerant Piping Connection process
• To facilitate Gas Leak Checks and enable you to check for dents

  1. If existing connective piping is already embedded in the wall, proceed directly to the Connect Drain Hose step. If there is no embedded piping, connect the indoor unit's refrigerant piping to the connective piping that will join the indoor and outdoor units. Refer to the Refrigerant Piping Connection section of this manual for detailed instructions.

  2. Based on the position of the wall hole relative to the mounting plate, determine the necessary angle of your piping.

  3. Grip the refrigerant piping at the base of the bend.

  4. Slowly, with even pressure, bend the piping towards the hole. Do not dent or damage the piping during the process.

NOTE ON PIPING ANGLE

Refrigerant piping can exit the indoor unit from four different angles:

  • Left-hand side
  • Left rear
  • Right-hand side
  • Right rear

Refer to Fig. 3.4 for details.

Whynter MSFS-012H11517-01NE - NOTE ON PIPING ANGLE - 3

CAUTION

Be extremely careful not to dent or damage the piping while bending them away from the unit. Any dents in the piping will affect the unit's performance.

Step 5: Connect drain hose

By default, the drain hose is attached to the left-hand side of unit (when you're facing the back of the unit). However, it can also be attached to the right-hand side.

  1. To ensure proper drainage, attach the drain hose on the same side that your refrigerant piping exits the unit.
  2. Attach drain hose extension (purchased separately) to the end of drain hose.
  3. Wrap the connection point firmly with Teflon tape to ensure a good seal and to prevent leaks.
  4. For the portion of the drain hose that will remain indoors, wrap it with foam pipe insulation to prevent condensation.
  5. Remove the air filter and pour a small amount of water into the drain pan to make sure that water flows from the unit smoothly.

Whynter MSFS-012H11517-01NE - Step 5: Connect drain hose - 1

NOTE ON DRAIN HOSE PLACEMENT

Make sure to arrange the drain hose according to Fig. 3.5.

DO NOT kink the drain hose.
DO NOT create a water trap.
DO NOT put the end of drain hose in water or a container that will collect water.
Be sure that the drain hose is located at the lowest side of the bundle. Locating at the upper side can cause drain pan to overflow inside the unit.

PLUG THE UNUSED DRAIN HOLE

To prevent unwanted leaks you must plug the unused drain hole with the rubber plug provided.

  1. Bundle the drain hose, refrigerant pipes, and signal cable according to Fig. 3.10.

Whynter MSFS-012H11517-01NE - Step 7: Wrap piping and cables - 1

text_image Indoor Unit Space behind unit Refrigerant piping Insulation tape Signal wire Drain hose Fig. 3.10

DRAIN HOSE MUST BE ON BOTTOM

Make sure that the drain hose is at the bottom of the bundle. Putting the drain hose at the top of the bundle can cause the drain pan to overflow, which can lead to fire or water damage.

DO NOT INTERTWINE SIGNAL CABLE WITH OTHER WIRES

While bundling these items together, do not intertwine or cross the signal cable with any other wiring.

  1. Using adhesive vinyl tape, attach the drain hose to the underside of the refrigerant pipes.
  2. Using insulation tape, wrap the signal wire, refrigerant pipes, and drain hose tightly together. Double-check that all items are bundled in accordance with Fig. 3.10.

DO NOT WRAP ENDS OF PIPING

When wrapping the bundle, keep the ends of the piping unwrapped. You need to access them to test for leaks at the end of the installation process (refer to Electrical Checks and Leak Checks section of this manual).

Step 8: Mount indoor unit

If you installed new connective piping to the outdoor unit, do the following:

  1. If you have already passed the refrigerant piping through the hole in the wall, proceed to Step 4.
  2. Otherwise, double-check that the ends of the refrigerant pipes are sealed to prevent dirt or foreign materials from entering the pipes.
  3. Slowly pass the wrapped bundle of refrigerant pipes, drain hose, and signal wire through the hole in the wall.
  4. Hook the top of the indoor unit on the upper hook of the mounting plate.
  5. Check that unit is hooked firmly on mounting by applying slight pressure to the left and right-hand sides of the unit. The unit should not jiggle or shift.
  6. Using even pressure, push down on the bottom half of the unit. Keep pushing down until the unit snaps onto the hooks along the bottom of the mounting plate.
  7. Again, check that the unit is firmly mounted by applying slight pressure to the left and the right-hand sides of the unit.

If refrigerant piping is already embedded in the wall, do the following:

  1. Hook the top of the indoor unit on the upper hook of the mounting plate.
  2. Use a bracket or wedge to prop up the unit, giving you enough room to connect the refrigerant piping, signal cable, and drain hose. Refer to Fig. 3.11 for an example.

Electrical Safety Checks

After installation, confirm that all electrical wiring is installed in accordance with local and national regulations, and according to the Installation Manual.

BEFORE TEST RUN

Check Grounding Work

Measure grounding resistance by visual detection and with grounding resistance tester. Grounding resistance must be less than 4 .

Note: This may not be required for some locations in the US.

DURING TEST RUN

Check for Electrical Leakage

During the Test Run, use an electroprobe and multimeter to perform a comprehensive electrical leakage test.

If electrical leakage is detected, turn off the unit immediately and call a licensed electrician to find and resolve the cause of the leakage.

Note: This may not be required for some locations in the US.

WARNING – RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

ALL WIRING MUST COMPLY WITH LOCAL AND NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODES, AND MUST BE INSTALLED BY A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN.

Gas Leak Checks

There are two different methods to check for gas leaks.

Soap and Water Method

Using a soft brush, apply soapy water or liquid detergent to all pipe connection points on the indoor unit and outdoor unit. The presence of bubbles indicates a leak.

Leak Detector Method

If using leak detector, refer to the device's operation manual for proper usage instructions.

AFTER PERFORMING GAS LEAK CHECKS

After confirming that the all pipe connection points DO NOT leak, replace the valve cover on the outside unit.

Test Run

Before Test Run

Only perform test run after you have completed the following steps:

  • Electrical Safety Checks – Confirm that the unit's electrical system is safe and operating properly
  • Gas Leak Checks – Check all flare nut connections and confirm that the system is not leaking
  • Confirm that gas and liquid (high and low pressure) valves are fully open

Test Run Instructions

You should perform the Test Run for at least 30 minutes.

  1. Connect power to the unit.
  2. Press the ON/OFF button on the remote controller to turn it on.
  3. Press the MODE button to scroll through the following functions, one at a time:

• COOL – Select lowest possible temperature

• HEAT – Select highest possible temperature

  1. Let each function run for 5 minutes, and perform the following checks:

List of Checks to Perform PASS/FAIL

No electrical leakage
Unit is properly grounded
All electrical terminals properly covered
Indoor and outdoor units are solidly installed
All pipe connection points do not leakOutdoor (2):Indoor (2):
Water drains properly from drain hose
All piping is properly insulated
Unit performs COOL function properly
Unit performs HEAT function properly
Indoor unit louvers rotate properly
Indoor unit responds to remote controller

DOUBLE-CHECK PIPE CONNECTIONS

During operation, the pressure of the refrigerant circuit will increase. This may reveal leaks that were not present during your initial leak check. Take time during the Test Run to double-check that all refrigerant pipe connection points do not have leaks. Refer to Gas Leak Check section for instructions.

  1. After the Test Run is successfully completed, and you confirm that all checks points in List of Checks to Perform have PASSED, do the following:

a. Using remote control, return unit to normal operating temperature.
b. Using insulation tape, wrap the indoor refrigerant pipe connections that you left uncovered during the indoor unit installation process.

IF AMBIENT TEMPERATURE IS BELOW 17°C (63°F)

You can't use the remote controller to turn on the COOL function when the ambient temperature is below 17°C. In this instance, you can use the MANUAL CONTROL button to test the COOL function.

  1. Lift the front panel of the indoor unit, and raise it until it clicks in place.
  2. The MANUAL CONTROL button is located on the right-hand side of the unit. Press it 2 times to select the COOL function. See Fig.8.1
  3. Perform Test Run as normal.
