3. INSTALLATION WORK
Correct initial installation location is important because it is difficult to move unit after it is
installed.
3.1. Selecting an installation location
Decide the mounting position together with the customer as follows.
Select installation locations that can properly support the weight of the indoor. Install the
units securely so that they do not topple or fall.
Do not install the unit in the following areas:
• Area with high salt content, such as at the seaside.
It will deteriorate metal parts, causing the parts to fail or the unit to leak water.
• Area fi lled with mineral oil or containing a large amount of splashed oil or steam,
such as a kitchen.
It will deteriorate plastic parts, causing the parts to fail or the unit to leak water.
• Area that generates substances that adversely affect the equipment, such as sulfuric
gas, chlorine gas, acid, or alkali.
It will cause the copper pipes and brazed joints to corrode, which can cause
refrigerant leakage.
• Area that can cause combustible gas to leak, contains suspended carbon fi bers or
fl ammable dust, or volatile infl ammables such as paint thinner or gasoline.
If gas leaks and settles around the unit, it can cause a fi re.
• Area where animals may urinate on the unit or ammonia may be generated.
Do not use the unit for special purposes, such as storing food, raising animals, growing
plants, or preserving precision devices or art objects.
It can degrade the quality of the preserved or stored objects.
Do not install where there is the danger of combustible gas leakage.
Do not install the unit near a source of heat, steam, or fl ammable gas.
Install the unit where drainage does not cause any trouble.
Install the indoor unit, power supply cable, transmission cable, and remote controller
cable at least 1 m away from a television or radio receivers. The purpose of this is to
prevent TV reception interference or radio noise.
(Even if they are installed more than 1 m apart, you could still receive noise under
some signal conditions.)
If children under 10 years old may approach the unit, take preventive measures so that
they cannot reach the unit.
• Decide the mounting position with the customer as follows:
(1) Install the indoor unit on a place having a suffi cient strength so that it withstands
against the weight of the indoor unit.
(2) The inlet and outlet ports should not be obstructed; the air should be able to blow all
over the room.
(3) Leave the space required to service the air conditioner.
(4) A place from where the air can be distributed evenly throughout the room by the unit.
(5) Install the unit where connection to the outdoor unit is easy.
(6) Install the unit where the connection pipe can be easily installed.
(7) Install the unit where the drain pipe can be easily installed.
(8) Install the unit where noise and vibrations are not amplifi ed.
(9) Take servicing, etc., into consideration and leave the spaces. Also install the unit
where the fi lter can be removed.
3.2. Installation dimensions
Provide a service access for inspection purposes.
Do not place any wiring or illumination in the service space, as they will impede service.

3.3. Installing the unit
Install the air conditioner in a location which can withstand a load of at least 5 times the
weight of the main unit and which will not amplify sound or vibration. If the installation
location is not strong enough, the indoor unit may fall and cause injuries.
If the job is done with the panel frame only, there is a risk that the unit will come loose.
Please take care.
3.3.1. Unit installation example
Connect the locally purchased duct.
(1) Inlet side
• Connect the duct to the locally purchased inlet flange.
• Connect the flange to the body with the locally purchased tapping screws.
• Wind the inlet flange connecting to the duct with the aluminum tape etc. to avoid the air
leakage.
When the duct is connected to inlet side, remove contained fi lter and surely attach
locally purchased fi lter at inlet opening.

(2) Outlet side
• Connect the duct with adjusting inside of outlet flange.
• Wind the outlet flange connecting to the duct with the aluminum tape etc. to avoid the air
leakage.
• Insulate the duct to avoid the dew condensation.
