Other use cases — French balconies, roof windows and more. Note that these require a universal bracket (sold separately).

6. Product Installation

Typical installation (without bracket)

To use the heating or cooling function, place the outdoor unit outside. A window lock is included to hold the window or door in place and prevent too much air from escaping. Plug the indoor unit in and you are ready to go.

For a window-sill installation:

Screw the enclosed eyelet into one of the two threaded holes on the outdoor unit.

Attach the steel cable to the eyelet on the outdoor unit. Then attach the other end of the steel cable to the indoor unit (see Bracket installation, step 2).

Place the outdoor unit on the window sill.

Shorten the steel cable until the tension is enough to prevent the unit from sliding.

Note

To be able to place the outdoor unit on the window sill, it must have a depth of at least 30 cm. The installation surface should be fairly level. Additional protection may be required during strong winds. Do not hang the unit from the steel rope.

Bracket installation

Caution

To avoid serious injury to people below or damage to property, the bracket must be secured with the steel rope provided before installation. During the entire installation process, the bracket must always be held by one hand to prevent it from falling. Always observe local regulations and standards for positioning the outdoor unit and bracket. The window frame and the wall must be able to support the weight of the bracket and outdoor unit.

If the distance between the outside of the window ridge and the outside of the wall is more than 14 cm, you may need to use the shorter support legs provided. The bracket should be installed level or tilted slightly towards the window.

Attach one end of the steel rope provided to the eyelet on the bracket.

Secure the other end of the steel rope with the eyelet at the back of the indoor unit.

Place the clamp area of the bracket over the window ridge. Pre-tighten the screws for some stability.

Press the button clips in the support legs inwards, as these will release the locking pins in the bracket.

Pull the support legs until the feet have made contact with the wall. Try to keep the bracket close to level (+/-2°).

Tighten the screws in the clamp area until firmly fixed against the window ridge.

Outdoor unit installation

Lift the outdoor unit with two hands using the handles provided.

There are guides located on the underside of the outdoor unit. Align these guides with the bracket holes and place the outdoor unit on the bracket.

Ensure that the guides are inserted into the corresponding holes. Position your hands in the middle of the unit, on the sides. Push the unit forward slowly without tilting it.

The pins should snap into place with a click. Check that they have passed through the bracket, locking the outdoor unit in place.

The front of the unit should have slid into the corresponding slot in the bracket, preventing it from lifting up. Test that it is firmly in place by trying to move it gently. The steel cable may now be removed from the bracket.

Note

It is normal for the unit to produce condensation during operation. The condensate should be allowed to drain from the condensation water outlet of the outdoor unit. A drainage pipe may be used to guide the water, but the pipe must always be lower than the water outlet. For more information see the section Condensation water.

Indoor unit positioning

Do not cover the air intakes or outlets of the units, as this could cause damage. The back side of the indoor unit of the PortaSplit must be placed at least 25 cm away from the wall during use to allow for adequate ventilation. There should be no obstruction within 50 cm of the top of the device.

Note

You can lock the wheels in place using the rubber wheel stoppers included in the accessories. Simply place them under the wheels.

Window lock installation (optional)

Note

If you would prefer not to use the window sealing cloth, a window lock system is provided to minimize the window gap.

Determine where to install the window lock system. Ideally, it should be away from the window handle but still easily within reach.

Stick one plastic mount on the window frame and the other on the window sash.

Pass the strip through the second plastic mount on the window sash (open side on top).

Fold the strip back on itself and stick the hook and loop together.

Outdoor unit deinstallation

Note

When the unit is not used for a long time, or is used in a different location, follow these instructions to remove the outdoor unit.

Place the protection plate on top of the indoor unit.

Using your thumbs, press the locking pins in (on both rails). Pull the guides toward yourself.

Once the locking pins are no longer securing the outdoor unit, you should be able to raise the unit using the handles provided.

Place the outdoor unit on top of the protection plate.

Warning

  • Please transport the unit carefully.
  • This should not be done by children.
  • Place on a level surface. Uneven or inclined surfaces may cause the unit to move and result in injury or damage.
  • To reduce risk of damage to the device, store vertically.

Note

With most window types, the window can be closed even when the bracket is installed. If you want to uninstall the bracket, attach the steel rope, unscrew both screws and simply lift the bracket and bring it inside. When removing the bracket, always hold it with at least one hand to prevent it from falling.

Sealing cloth installation (optional)

Note

For better insulation, a window sealing cloth is provided. You can install the window sealing cloth and pass the refrigerant hose through the zipper. If needed, a sealing sponge is provided in the accessories to prevent rainwater from running along the hose.

Wrap the window sealing sponge around the hose (example of an installed sealing cloth and sealing sponge).

You will need scissors to install the "hook and loop" strips. Uninstall the outdoor unit if installed — the bracket can, however, remain in place.

Ensure the window frame is clean. Close the window. Measure and cut the strips to run the length of the sash and the window frame along the sides where there will be a gap.

Stick the strips on the window frame and window sash. It may be easier with the window closed to make alignment easier.

The sealing cloth is asymmetrical along the length of the zip. The narrower side should run along the window sash and the wider side should run along the window frame.

Align the middle of the sealing cloth with the middle of the opening side of the window frame. Remember to attach the wide edge to the window frame.

Connect the hook and loop from the middle upwards and then along the top length.

Then do the same for the lower and bottom lengths. Repeat the process for the narrow edge and the window sash.

Reinstall the outdoor unit as per the Outdoor unit installation section. Zip the sealing cloth up and you're all set.

Shorter support legs installation (optional)

Note

For most window profiles, the installed support legs are suitable. For windows with a larger distance from window ridge to the wall (approximately 14 cm), the support legs can be substituted with the shorter support legs provided.

Remove the safety stopper at the end of the bracket. To do so, release the locking mechanisms.

Press in the button clips on the support legs to release the locking pins and slide the support legs out.

Slide the shorter support legs in.

Replace the safety stopper.

The bracket is ready to be installed.

Condensation water

During both heating and cooling operation, condensation water will be discharged from the outdoor unit drainage outlet, at the bottom of the unit.

Insert the drainage pipe into the drainage hole in the base pan of the unit. It will click into place. Adjust the drainage pipe as required to allow the condensation water to be directed to a suitable location. The hose can be fed through the groove in the bracket to secure it better.

Note

It is normal for the indoor unit to produce condensation. This is contained within the unit and automatically pumped to the outside unit. The indoor unit also has a drainage outlet, allowing you to manually drain any condensate not yet pumped to the outside unit, should you wish to do so (for example, before placing the unit into storage, or if a water pump drainage malfunction occurs).

During heating mode, condensation water may also collect on the hose between the indoor and outdoor units. This cannot be drained by the system. Please regularly check the hose and wipe it dry if needed. Use scissors to cut a suitable length of insulation sponge and wrap the hose with it.
