To provide drainage

▪ Make sure that condensation water can be evacuated properly.
▪ Install the unit on a base to make sure that there is proper
drainage in order to avoid ice accumulation.
▪ Prepare a water drainage channel around the foundation to drain
waste water away from the unit.
▪ Avoid drain water flowing over the footpath, so that it does NOT
become slippery in case of ambient freezing temperatures.
▪ If you install the unit on a frame, install a waterproof plate within
150 mm of the bottom side of the unit in order to prevent water
from getting into the unit and to avoid drain water dripping (see the
following figure).
NOTICE
If the drain holes of the outdoor unit are blocked up,
provide space of at least 300 mm below the outdoor unit.
▪ Drain pan. You can use the drain pan option (EKDP008D) to
gather the drain water. For the complete installation instructions,
see the installation manual of the drain pan. In short, the drain pan
must be installed level (with a tolerance of 1° at all sides) and as
follows:

▪ Drain pan heater. You can use the drain pan heater option
(EKDPH008CA) to prevent freezing-up of the drain pan. For the
installation instructions, see the installation manual of the drain
pan heater.
▪ Non-heated drain tube. When using the drain pan heater without
drain tube or with a non-heated drain tube, remove the drain hole
insulation (Item c on the illustration).
INFORMATION
If you install the drain pan kit (with or without drain pan
heater) in combination with the low sound cover
(EKLN08A1), different installation instructions apply for the
drain pan kit. See the installation manual of the low sound
cover.

7.3.6 To prevent the outdoor unit from falling
over
In case the unit is installed in places where strong wind can tilt the
unit, take following measure:
1 Prepare 2 cables as indicated in the following illustration (field
supply).
2 Place the 2 cables over the outdoor unit.
3 Insert a rubber sheet between the cables and the outdoor unit
to prevent the cables from scratching the paint (field supply).
4 Attach the ends of the cables and tighten them.
