7-1-3. Baffle Plate for the Outdoor Unit
(CLxx models only)
NOTE
It is recommended to use baffle plates for models
CL0971 and CL1271. The baffle plates are not
normally required for the other models.
When the outdoor unit is installed in a position
exposed to strong wind (like seasonal winds with low
air temperature in winter), baffle plates must be
installed at the rear of the outdoor unit. (Fig. 5c)
This unit is designed so that the fan of the outdoor
unit runs at low speed when the air conditioner is
operated at low outdoor air temperatures. When the
outdoor unit is exposed to strong wind, the system
pressure drops because of the freeze protector.
