2. SELECTING THE INSTALLATION SITE

2-1. Indoor Unit

AVOID:
● areas where leakage of flammable gas may be expected.
● locations where sulfurous acid gas or corrosive gas occurs.
● places where large amounts of oil mist exist such a kitchen of a Chinese restaurant or near
a machinery equipment of the factory. The oil can be adhered to the surface of the heat
exchanger or resin parts and this will cause a decrease in performance, spray or drip water
and deformation or damages.
● direct sunlight.
● locations near heat sources which may affect the performance of the unit.
● locations where external air may enter the room directly. This may cause "condensation" on
the air discharge ports, causing them to spray or drip water.
● locations where the remote controller will be splashed with water or affected by dampness or
humidity.
● installing the remote controller behind curtains or furniture.
● locations where high-frequency emissions are generated.
● turning on the power or operate the unit until work of refrigerant tubing and electrical wiring
have been completed. Highly dangerous electrical voltages are used in this system.
DO:
● install the unit to allow cool air (and warm air) to flow smoothly. Never place objects near the
air inlet or the air outlet of the unit. This will reduce the efficiency of the unit.
● select an installation location which is rigid and strong enough to support or hold the unit.
● select a location which can support a load that is four times the indoor unit weight.
● select a location for drainage work properly. If it is improperly, this will cause damage to
property.
• Select a location where tubing and drain pipe have the shortest run to the outdoor unit.
• Insulate the drain pipe running inside the building.
• Pay attention to the drainage planning not to cause neighbors trouble.
● allow room for operation and maintenance as well as unrestricted airflow around the unit.
● keep the fire alarm and the air outlet at least 1.5 m away from the unit.
● the height of the installed location shall be at least 1.8 m above the floor.
● when installing the unit in the hotel rooms or executive offices with a low-level noise, it is
recommended that the external electronic expansion valve kit (optional) be installed.
● the limitation of the tubing length between the indoor and the outdoor units should be
referred to the Installation Instructions of the outdoor unit.
● allow room for mounting the remote controller about 1 m off the floor, in an area that is not in
direct sunlight or in the flow of cool air from the indoor unit.
