Install the outdoor unit so that the exhaust gas does not enter building interiors
through windows, intake and exhaust vents, piping leading to interiors, air vents,
etc.
Do not install the outdoor unit inside or partly inside a building.
- Installing the unit in an environment where exhaust gas does not easily diffuse can
cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
Install the outdoor unit in a location that can support its weight and will not
increase noise or vibration.
Install the outdoor unit in an open space so that exhaust gas does not accumulate.
Do not install the unit inside a building.
Do not install the outdoor unit in a location where dangerous flammable materials
are handled.
Do not install the outdoor unit in a location where flammable gas may be
generated, flow in, build up, or leak, or where volatile flammable items may be
handled.
Do not install the outdoor unit in a location where air or exhaust gas may blow
against the windows and garden plants of neighboring buildings and houses when
the unit is operating.
Do not install the outdoor unit in a location where there are exhaust vents or
chimneys that may cause the outdoor unit to corrode or cause foreign substances
to adhere to the air-to-heat exchanger and/or noticeably soil the unit exterior.
Do not install the outdoor unit in a location where there are street lights or trees
beside the outdoor unit as insects or leaves may block the air-to-heat exchanger.
Install the outdoor unit in a location where materials can be carried in smoothly,
the product can be installed efficiently and supported firmly, and maintenance
service can also be performed easily and safely. (Special care must be given to
existing buildings; they may experience problems with structural strength and
vibration transmission.)
Please consult us when the product is to be used in corrosive environments, such
as chemical plants or areas prone to salt corrosion.
When installing the outdoor unit under a roof, take measures to prevent rainwater
from pouring into the air inlet and outlet of the unit.
Install the outdoor unit in a well-ventilated location where hot exhaust (in summer)
or cold exhaust (in winter) from the air-to-heat exchanger will not accumulate or
cause short circuits. Poor ventilation may result in the following malfunctions:
(1) Insufficient heat exchange may cause reduced capacity.
(2) The safety protection device may work frequently due to overloaded operation.
(3) Exhaust gas from the engine may mix with the intake air, causing incomplete combustion
and resulting in malfunctions.
Do not install the outdoor unit in a location where strong winds may blow against
the air outlet on the outdoor unit.
Do not use a pit (push-in) method of installation.
