WARNING
it was used for long period time, wooden palette may break and cause electrical hazard or high pressure may
damage the pipes .
❋ ❋ Fix an outdoor unit firmly on the base ground with anchor bolts .
❋ ❋ Manufacturer is not responsible for the damage occurred by not following the installation standards .
1 . Make sure that the height of the base ground is 200mm or higher to protect the outdoor unit from rain water or other
external conditions . Also, install a draining pit around the base ground and connect the drain pipe to the drainage .
2 . Considering the vibration and weight of the outdoor unit, strength of the base ground must be strong to prevent noise
and the top surface of it should be flat .
3 . Base ground should be 1 . 5 times larger than the bottom of the outdoor unit .
4 . Outdoor unit must be fixed firmly so that it can withstand the wind speed of 30m/s . If you cannot fix the outdoor unit on
the base ground, fix it by side or use extra structure .
5 . To prevent water from stagnating or freezing, construct a drainage with over 1/50 slope . (Ice may form on the floor in
winter time . )
6 . It is necessary to add wire mesh or steel bar during concrete construction for the base ground to prevent damages or
cracks .
7 . When installing multiple outdoor units at the same place, construct a H beam or an anti-vibration frame on the base
ground to install the outdoor unit .
8 . After installing a H beam or an anti-vibration frame, apply corrosion protection and other necessary coating .
9 . When concrete construction for outdoor unit installation is completed, install an anti-vibration pad (t=20mm/0 . 7 8 inch or
more) or an anti-vibration frame to prevent vibration of the outdoor unit from transferring to the base ground .
10 . Place the outdoor unit on a H beam or an anti-vibration frame and fix it with the bolt, nut and washer . (The bearing force
has to be over 3 . 5 kN)
