Considerations for choosing installation location

3.1

Relative positioning between units

The outdoor unit must be installed as close as possible to the indoor unit, in order not to harm
capacity. For determining the maximal distance allowed between them, see table No. 1 in
paragraph 7.2. In case where there is a necessity to exceed that distance over described in table 1
- the Company's representative must be consulted.

Considerations in selecting location for installing the outdoor unit

•
Convenient access option for service technician for handling the outdoor unit, as well as
free airflow.
•
Preventing direct sun radiation on the coil.
•
Outdoor unit location will not disturb neighbors and the user.
•
The outdoor unit will be located at the distance of at least 200 mm from the wall.
•
In installation in enclosed space (porch, laundry room etc.), make sure there are sufficient
ventilation openings ensuring release of hot air outside and preventing its return into the
outdoor unit.
•
In case of installing the outdoor units in a group, make sure that the hot air exiting from
one outdoor unit will not flow into another.
•
The outdoor unit must be installed on the wall by means of a special suspension that was
hot - galvanized, or to put it on the floor or a platform, best installed at a height of not less
than 100 mm.
•
Make sure that the wall, on which the outdoor unit is installed, has a thickness of at least
200 mm, and has the capacity to carry the unit's weight. Abstain from mounting on a
flimsy structure that might be subject to rattles and resonance.
•
When the outdoor unit is installed on a level lower than the indoor unit, make sure the
height difference between the units is according to the explanation that appears in table
No. 1, paragraph 7.
•
When the outdoor unit is installed above the level of the indoor unit, an oil trap must be
incorporated into the suction line, every 5 meters of elevation.
•
When installing the outdoor unit on a second floor, on a porch, or on a higher floor, make
sure that the level of the outdoor unit upper casing is at the height of the railing. Still, if the
outdoor unit was installed lower - take care that it is installed in such way to enable easy
access and the possibility to remove the outdoor unit cover, during service operation.
•
When the outdoor unit is installed in a place that has no free access - longer than regular
tubes must be installed. These longer tubes must include a number of loops that will
enable moving the unit during service operation.
•
Consider the possibility of water dripping, during heating operation; if this dripping may
disturb the neighbors, one must take care of drainage.
•
Abstain from hanging the outdoor unit on bedroom walls.
•
Outdoor unit must not be installed in places, to which access requires stepping on light
roofs such as shingles and asbestos. No service shall ever be provided to outdoor units
installed in such a manner.
