3. SELECTING INSTALLATION SITE

(1) Select an installation site where the following conditions are satisfied and that meets with your
customer's approval.
• Places where there is no possibility of flammable gas leak.
• Places where the unit does not bother next-door neighbors.
• Safe places which can withstand the unit's weight and vibration and where the unit can be installed level.
• Places which are well-ventilated.
• Places where servicing space can be well ensured.
The minimum required space is shown in chapter 4. INSTALLATION SERVICING SPACE.
• Places where the indoor and outdoor unit's piping and wiring lengths come within the allowable ranges.
(Please refer to chapter 6. REFRIGERANT PIPING WORK.)
〈CAUTION〉
• Inverter air conditioners may cause noise
to occur in electrical appliances.
As shown in the right drawing, select an
installation site well away from radios, PCs,
and stereos.
• Especially in the areas where the incoming
signal strength is weak, keep the indoor
remote controller 3 m or more from
electrical appliances. Put the power cord
and connecting wires in a metal pipe and
ground the metal pipe.
(2) When installing the unit in a place exposed to strong wind, pay special attention to the following.
5 m/sec or more strong wind blown against the outdoor unit's air outlet causes the outdoor unit to
deteriorate in air capacity and suck in the air blown out of its air outlet (short circuit), and the following
effects may result.
• Drop in performance.
• Increased frost formation in heating mode.
• Shutting down due to increase in pressure.
If a very high fan strength is used continuously from the front of the outdoor unit outlet side, the fan might
turn in reverse at high speed, and become damaged.
• Turn the air outlet side toward the building's wall, fence or windbreak screen.
• Set the outlet side at a right angle to the direction of the wind.
