Installation Place

• A place which provides the spaces around the outdoor unit as shown in
the diagram
• A place which can bear the weight of the outdoor unit and does not allow
an increase in noise level and vibration
• A place where the operation noise and discharged air do not disturb your
neighbors
• A place which is not exposed to a strong wind
• A place free of a leakage of combustible gases
• A place which does not block a passage
• When the outdoor unit is to be installed in an elevated position, be sure to
secure its feet.
• An allowable length of the connecting pipe is up to 20 m.
- There is no need to add refrigerant as long as the length of the
connection piping is 15 m or less.
- You will need to add 20g of refrigerant per meter of added connection
piping for installation requiring connection piping to be between 16 m to
20 m.
• The allowable height of outdoor-unit installation site is up to 12 m.
• A place where the drain water does not raise any problems
Precautions about Installation in Regions
with Snowfall and Cold Temperatures
• Do not use the supplied drain nipple for draining water. Drain the water
from all the drain holes directly.
• To protect the outdoor unit from snow accumulation, install a holding
frame, and attach a snow protection hood and plate.
* Do not use a double-stacked design.

CAUTION
1. Install the outdoor unit without anything blocking the air discharging.
2. When the outdoor unit is installed in a place always exposed to strong
wind like a coast or on a high storey of a building, secure the normal fan
operation using a duct or a windshield.
3. In particularly windy areas, install the unit such as to avoid admission of
wind.
4. Installation in the following places may result in trouble.
Do not install the unit in such places.
• A place full of machine oil
• A saline-place such as the coast
• A place full of sulfi de gas
• A place where high-frequency
waves are likely to be generated
as from audio equipment, welders,
and medical equipment

CAUTION
Arrange the drain pipe for proper drainage from the unit.
Improper drainage can result in dew-dropping.
This air conditioner has the structure designed
to drain water collected from dew, which forms
on the back of the indoor unit, to the drain pan.
Therefore, do not store the power cord and other
parts at a height above the drain guide.
