ELECTING INSTALLATION SITE
Make sure to provide for adequate measures in order
to prevent that the outdoor unit be used as a shelter
by small animals.
Small animals making contact with electrical parts can
cause malfunctions, smoke or fire. Please instruct the
customer to keep the area around the unit clean.
1 Select an installation site where the following conditions are
satisfied and that meets with your customer's approval.
- Places which are well-ventilated.
- Places where the unit does not bother next-door neighbours.
- Safe places which can withstand the unit's weight and
vibration and where the unit can be installed level.
- Places where there is no possibility of flammable gas or
product leak.
- The equipment is not intended for use in a potentially
explosive atmosphere.
- Places where servicing space can be well ensured.
- Places where the units' piping and wiring lengths come within
the allowable ranges.
- Places where water leaking from the unit cannot cause
damage to the location (e.g. in case of a blocked drain pipe).
- Places where the rain can be avoided as much as possible.
- Do not install the unit in places often used as workplace.
In case of construction works (e.g. grinding works) where a
lot of dust is created, the unit must be covered.
- Do not place any objects or equipment on top of the unit (top
plate)
- Do not climb, sit or stand on top of the unit.
- Be sure that sufficient precautions are taken, in accordance
with relevant local laws and regulations, in case of refrigerant
leakage.
2 When installing the unit in a place exposed to strong wind, pay
special attention to the following.
Strong winds of 5 m/sec or more blowing against the unit's air
outlet causes short circuit (suction of discharge air), and this
may have the following consequences:
- Deterioration of the operational capacity.
- Frequent frost acceleration in heating operation.
- Disruption of operation due to rise of high pressure.
- When a strong wind blows continuously on the face of the
unit, the fan can start rotating very fast until it breaks.
Refer to the figures for installation of this unit in a place where
the wind direction can be foreseen.
Turn the air outlet side toward the building's wall, fence or
screen.
Make sure there is enough room to do the installation

Set the outlet side at a right angle to the direction of the wind.

3 Prepare a water drainage channel around the foundation, to
drain waste water from around the unit.
4 If the water drainage of the unit is not easy, please build up the
unit on a foundation of concrete blocks, etc. (the height of the
foundation should be maximum 150 mm).
5 If you install the unit on a frame, please install a waterproof plate
within 150 mm of the underside of the unit in order to prevent the
invasion of water from the lower direction.
6 When installing the unit in a place frequently exposed to snow,
pay special attention to elevate the foundation as high as
possible.
7 If you install the unit on a building frame,
please install a waterproof plate (field
supply) (within 150 mm) of the underside
of the unit) in order to avoid the drainwater
dripping. (See figure).

Selecting a location in cold climates

Refer to "Handling" on page 4.
NOTE When operating the unit in a low outdoor ambient
temperature, be sure to follow the instructions
described below.
To prevent exposure to wind, install the unit with its suction side
facing the wall.
Never install the unit at a site where the suction side may be
exposed directly to wind.
To prevent exposure to wind, install a baffle plate on the air
discharge side of the unit.
In heavy snowfall areas it is very important to select an
installation site where the snow will not affect the unit. If lateral
snowfall is possible, make sure that the heat exchanger coil is
not affected by the snow (if necessary construct a lateral
canopy).

Construct a large canopy.
Construct a pedestal.
Install the unit high enough off the
ground to prevent burying in snow.
