6. OUTDOOR UNIT INSTALLATION

6.1 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. 6.1 & 6.2)
• 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.
