2 .3 Installation position
The choice of the position for installation is particularly
important insofar as any later movement is a delicate
operation requiring the intervention of a qualified person.
Choose the site of the outdoor unit and the hydraulic
unit after discussion with the customer.
Observe the maximum and minimum distances between
the hydraulic unit and the outdoor unit (
figure 18, page 18
),
the guarantee of the performances and the system's
service life depend on this.
2 .4 Installation of the outdoor unit
2 .4 .1 Installation precautions
The outdoor unit must only be installed outdoor
(outdoors). If a shelter is required, it must have
broad openings on the 4 walls and observe the
installation clearances (
figure 11
).
• Choose a site that is preferably sunny and sheltered
from strong cold predominant winds (mistral,
tramontana, etc…).
• The unit must be easily accessible for future installation
and maintenance work (
figure 11
).
• Ensure that it is possible to make the connections to
the hydraulic unit easily.
• The outdoor unit is able to withstand bad weather but
avoid installing in a position where it is likely to be
exposed to significant dirt or flowing water (under a
defective gutter for example).
• Water may drain away from the outdoor unit when it
is operating. Do not install the appliance on a paved
terrace; choose a well-drained place (e.g. gravel
or sand). If the installation is in an area where the
temperature can be lower than 0°C for a long period,
check that the presence of ice does not present any
danger. A drainage pipe can also be connected to the
outdoor unit (
figure 12
).
