Outdoor Unit Installation - Pioneer FAB Series Installation Manual

6. OUTDOOR UNIT INSTALLATION

6.1 Installation Location
The outdoor unit should be installed in a location that
meets the following requiements:
There is enough spatial clearance for maintenance.
The air outlet and the air inlet are not impeded, and
cannot be affected by strong winds.
The location is dry and well-ventilated.
The support is flat, horizontal, and can stand the weight of
the outdoor unit. The location should add no additional
noise or vibration.
Neighbors will not feel uncomfortable from the noise or
expelled air.
It should be easy to install the connecting pipes or cables.
The air outlet direction should be determined as
somewhere where the discharged air is not blocked.
There is no danger of fire from leakage of inflammable
gas.
The piping length between the outdoor unit and the indoor
unit will not exceed the allowable piping length.
In the case that the installation place may be exposed to
strong winds, such as a seaside gusts, make sure that
the fan is operating properly by putting the unit lengthwise
along the wall, or by using a dust shield.(Refer to Fig. 6-1)
If possible, do not install the unit in a location where it is
exposed to direct sunlight.
If necessary, install a blind that does not interfere with the
air flow.
During heating mode, all water drained form the outdoor
unit, as well as all condensate, should be directed
towards the drain hole and drained away to an
appropriate place, so as not to affect other nearby people.
Select the best position that will not be subject to snow
drifts, accumulation of leaves, or other seasonal debris. If
unavoidable, please cover the unit with a shelter.
Install the unit in a location that is as close as possible to
the indoor unit.
If possible, remove all nearby obstacles, so as to prevent
air circulation efficiency from dropping, due to nearby
obstructions.
The minimum distance between the outdoor unit and any
obstacles described in the installation chart does not
mean that the same is applicable to the situation of an
airtight room. Leave clear two of the three directions.
(Refer to Fig.6-3)
