INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION (INDOOR UNIT)
BEFORE INSTALLING
- The indoor unit should installed 250cm (98”) or more above the floor.
- Do not install your air conditioner in wet room such as bathroom or laundry room etc.
MOUNTING PLATE INSTALLATION
Install the mounting plate horizontally or slightly tilted down toward the side of drain hose. If it is tilted above the drain hose side, condensed water may overflow.
- Drill 32mm (1.25”) deep holes in the wall.
- Insert plastic anchors into the holds
- Fix the mounting plate on the wall and firmly secure it using the provided tapping screws.
WALL PIPING INSTALLATION
- Drill a piping hole (Φ65) in the wall at a slight downward tilt towards the outdoor side.
- Insert the piping hold sleeve through the hold.
NOTE: Keep the drain pipe tilted downward through the hole to prevent condensed water leakage/overflow.
INDOOR UNIT ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
- Open the front panel.
- Take off the terminal block cover by removing the screw or breaking the hooks.
- Connect the cable wires according to the circuit diagram which located on the right part under the front panel.
- Use wire size suitable to the electric power input and follow all national safety code requirements. The cable connecting the indoor and outdoor units must be suitable for outdoor use. The plus should remain accessible after the appliance has been installed. Ensure an efficient earth connection
REFRIGERANT PIPING CONNECTION
The piping can be run in 3 directions. If the piping is run in direction 1 or 3, cut a notch along the groove on the side of the indoor unit with a cutter and smoothen the edges with a file. Run the piping in the direction of the hole in the wall and bind the copper pipes, the drain pipe, and the power cables together with the tape. Make sure to leave the drain pipe at the bottom, so that water can flow freely.
- Do not remove the cap from the pipe until connecting it to avoid moisture or dirt from entering.
- Do not over-bent or pulled the pipe. The copper pipe will harden. Avoid bending the same section more than three times.
- When extending the rolled pipe, straighten the pipe by unwinding it gently
INDOOR UNIT CONNECTION
- Remove the indoor unit pipe cap and check it has no debris inside.
- Insert the flare but and create a flange at the very end of the connection pipe.
- Tighten the connections by using two wrenches working in opposite directions
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION (INDOOR UNIT)
CONDENSED WATER DRAINAGE
- Place the drain hose below the piping.
- The drain hose must slant downwards to the outdoor side.
- Do not bend the drain hose or leave it protruding or twisted. Do not put the end of the hose into water.
- If the piping is installed to the right, the pipe, power cable, and drain hose must be tied and secured onto the rear of the unit with a pipe connection. Ensure the smooth flow of the condensed water drainage to prevent leakage or overflow
FINISHING THE INDOOR UNIT INSTALLATION
- Arrange the pipes, cables, drain hose according to the image. Cover the pipe joints with insulating material and secure it with vinyl tape.
- Run the bounded pipe through the hole on the wall and mount the indoor unit onto the upper part of the mounting plate securely.
- Press and push the lower part of the indoor unit tightly against the mounting plate.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
- Remove the right side plate
- Connect the power cord to the terminal board. Follow the instructions on the wiring diagram which located on the back of the cover.
- Put the cover back after connecting the wires.
PIPES CONNECTION
- Connect the pipes to the outdoor unit tap by using flare nuts.
- Tighten the flare nut. Careful not to damage the flange to prevent leakage.
BLEEDING
The air and humidity left inside the refrigerant circulation can cause the compress to malfunction. After connecting the indoor and outdoor units, bleed the air and moisture from the refrigerant circulation using a vacuum pump.
- Unscrew and remove the caps from the 2-way and 3-way valves.
- Unscrew and remove the cap from the service port.
- Connect the vacuum pump hose to the service port.
- Operate the vacuum pump for 10-15 minutes until an absolute vacuum value reach 10mm Hg.
- With the vacuum pump still in operation, close the low pressure knob on the vacuum pump coupling. Then stop the vacuum pump.
- Open the 2-way valve by 1/4 turn and then close it after 10 seconds. Check all the joints for leaks.
- Turn the body of the 2-way and 3-way valves. Disconnect the vacuum pump hose.
- Replace and tighten all the caps on the valves.

DELLA 048-MS-T1159K Split-Type Air Conditioner-FAQs
How does a split air conditioner work?
A split air conditioner pulls in air from your home, cools it using the evaporator coil in the indoor unit, and then circulates it back into the room through vents.
What is the purpose of a split air conditioner?
Split air conditioners improve temperature control in a room by using an indoor unit to cool the air and an outdoor unit to expel heat.
What is the best temperature setting for a split air conditioner?
For optimal energy efficiency, set it to 78.8°F (26°C) when at home, 85°F (29.4°C) when away, and 82°F (27.8°C) when sleeping.
Does a split air conditioner purify air?
No, split ACs do not purify air. They filter dust and allergens using air filters but don’t purify the air like dedicated air purifiers.
What is the difference between dry and cool modes on a split AC?
Dry mode removes humidity with minimal cooling, using less electricity. Cool mode actively cools the room, making it ideal for hot weather.
Why is it called a split system?
It’s called a split system because it splits the components into two units: an indoor unit for cooling and an outdoor unit for heat expulsion.
Does a split AC take air from outside?
No, split ACs do not draw air from outside. They circulate and cool the air within the room.
What is an adjustable split AC?
An adjustable split AC allows you to change its cooling capacity based on your needs, offering flexibility and better energy efficiency.
How does an AC work step by step?
1. The thermostat signals the need for cooling.
2. Refrigerant absorbs indoor heat.
3. Fans blow cooled air back inside.
4. Heat is expelled outdoors.
5. Fans release hot air outside.
Can I use a split AC in humid weather?
Yes, dry mode in a split AC is ideal for humid weather, as it removes moisture without excessive cooling.
