Installing The Unit In Harsh Climates - Immergas AUDAX PRO 5 Instruction And Recommendation Booklet

3.8 INSTALLING THE UNIT IN HARSH
CLIMATES.
N.B.: if installing the unit in harsh climates, you
must follow all the instructions below.
- The effects of the wind can be minimised by
installing the unit with the intake side facing a
wall.
- The unit must not be installed with the intake
side against the wind.
- The effects of the wind can be further mini-
mised by installed a deflector plate facing the
unit air flow side.
- The unit must be installed in a position pro-
tected from snow falling from above. If this is
not possible, you must at least prevent the snow
from clogging the air coolant exchanger (even
by constructing a small protective roof for the
unit, if necessary (Fig. 3-11)).
- The fan in the outdoor unit will work normally
with the K7 micro-switch on "ON" to prevent
snow from accumulating in the unit. (see parag.
7.3)
- The direction the unit faces depends on the
direction of the strongest winds. As it could
overturn with strong winds, the unit must be
oriented with one of its narrower sides against
the wind.
