10-5. Installation of Outdoor Unit

10-5-1. Installation Location

• 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 neighbors.
• A place which is not exposed to a strong wind.
• A place free of combustible gases.
• A place which does not block a passageway.
• When the outdoor unit is to be installed in an
elevated position, be sure to secure its feet.
• If the outdoor unit is to be mounted on a wall,
make sure the platform supporting it is sturdy
enough.
• The base plate should be designed and
manufactured to maintain its strength over a long
period of time, and suffi cient consideration should
be given to ensuring that the outdoor unit will not
fall.
• When the outdoor unit is to be mounted high on
a wall, take particular care to ensure that parts do
not fall, and that the installer is protected.

Ensure sufficient space
to allow drainage
• When doing installation work at ground level, it is
usual to make wiring and pipe connections to the
indoor units, fi rst, and then to make connections to
the outdoor units.
However, if outdoor work is diffi cult it is possible,
instead, to make changes to the procedure.
For example, by making adjustments to the wiring
and piping lengths on the inside (rather than the
outside).
• A place where the drain water does not cause any
problems.
• Install the outdoor unit in a location where there
are no obstructions near its air intake or air outlet.
• When the outdoor unit is installed in a place that is
always exposed to strong winds like on the coast
or on a high story of a building, secure the normal
fan operation using a duct or a wind shield.
• Especially in windy areas, install the unit to prevent
the admission of wind.
• 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, such as from audio equipment,
welders, and medical equipment.
