The information contained in this Engineering Data Book may primarily be of use during the system design stage of a Kaysun Amazon unitario FD Series VRF project. Additional important information which may primarily be of use during field installation has been placed in boxes, such as the example below, titled “Notes for installers”.
AMAZON UNITARIO FD 2 Unit Placement and Installation 2.1 Outdoor Units 2.1.1 Placement considerations Placement of outdoor units should take account of the following considerations: ■ Air conditioners should not be exposed to direct radiation from a high-temperature heat source.
Page 110
AMAZON UNITARIO FD 2.1.3 Base structures Outdoor unit base structure design should take account of the following considerations: ■ The base of the outdoor unit must use the solid concrete surface as the cement base or the steel beam frame base.
