In some cases, additional precautions are necessary owing to the
fact, for example, of too short a distance between you and your
neighbours.
When installing a noise reduction screen, respect the following
recommendations:
4 Locate the noise reduction screen as close as possible to the noise
source whilst allowing for the free circulation of air in the
exchanger on the outside unit and maintenance work.
Place the outside unit on a base (concrete base frame, sill,
concrete blocks, etc.) with no rigid connection with the building
served in order to prevent any transmission of vibrations. Ensure
sufficient above ground elevation (100 to 150 mm) to keep it above
water.
For regions where heavy snowfalls occur, raise this above ground
protection by at least 200 mm compared with the average depth of
the covering of snow.
There must be no obstacles hindering the free
circulation of air around the outdoor module (intake
and output).
No not locate the outside unit close to where people
sleep.
Do not locate the unit opposite a wall with windows.
Avoid placing it close to a terrace, etc..
