Outdoor Unit Installation
Outdoor Unit Installation Instructions
Step 1: Select installation location.
The outdoor unit should be installed in the location that
meets the following requirements:
Place the outdoor unit as close to the indoor unit as
possible.
Ensure that there is enough room for installation and
maintenance.
The air inlet and outlet must not be obstructed or
exposed to strong wind.
Ensure the location of the unit will not be subject to
snowdrifts, accumulation of leaves or other seasonal
debris. If possible, provide an awning for the unit.
Ensure the awning does not obstruct airflow.
The installation area must be dry and well ventilated.
There must be enough room to install the connecting
pipes and cables and to access them for maintenance.

The area must be free of combustible gases and
chemicals.
The pipe length between the outdoor and indoor unit
may not exceed the maximum allowable pipe length.
If possible, DO NOT install the unit where it is
exposed to direct sunlight.
If possible, make sure the unit is located far away
from your neighbors' property so that the noise from
the unit will not disturb them.
If the location is exposed to strong winds (for
example: near a seaside), the unit must be placed
against the wall to shelter it from the wind. If
necessary, use an awning. (See Fig. 5.1 & 5.2)
Install the indoor and outdoor units, cables and wires
at least 1 meter from televisions or radios to prevent
static or image distortion. Depending on the radio
waves, a 1 meter distance may not be enough to
eliminate all interference.

CAUTION
Be sure to remove any obstacles that
may block air circulation.
Make sure you refer to Length
Specifications to ensure there is
enough room for installation and
maintenance.
