Installing The Outdoor Unit - Ferroli DIAMANT M Series Use And Maintenance Manual

2.5 INSTALLING THE OUTDOOR UNIT

Bear in mind the following when choosing the place in which the outdoor unit is to be installed:
• Before installing the air conditioner make sure that it has been transported in an upright position. If this is not the case, position
it correctly and wait at least two hours before starting it.
• If possible, place the unit away from rain and direct sun light in a sufficiently ventilated area.
• Set it in a vibration and noise free position of adequate load bearing capacity.
• Position it so that the noise and air flow, while operating, do not disturb the neighbours.
• Position it respecting the minimum distances from walls, furniture or other objects ("fig. 6 -" e "fig. 7 -").
• If it is installed on the ground, avoid areas where water may collect or fall, gutters, etc.
• In locations that are subject to frequent snowfalls or where the temperature remains below 0°C for lengthy periods, set the unit
on a 20-30 cm thick concrete base to prevent snow from lying around the machine.
• During winter periods, the heat pumps produce condensation that drips on the supporting surface forming annoying and/or
unpleasant puddles. To avoid this, use the condensation drain fitting kit as indicated in the relative section.

Note: The air conditioner must not be surrounded by more than three walls to ensure sufficient ventilation to allow the appliance to
operate correctly.
If the installation does not allow direct access to the unit, it is recommended to remove the rear protection grille.This is to allow the air
flow and avoid possible ice build up during winter operation.
Remove the packing following the instructions given in the "Packaging and storing" section and, using a fork lift truck, lift the unit
and position in the place desired. While moving the unit, keep it upright without tilting it.High protection against the transmission of
vibrations is achieved by placing appropriate dowels made of impact-resistant material (neoprene etc.) between the support feet of
the unit and the floor.
