1. Locate the noise abatement screen as close as possible to the source
of noise whilst allowing for the free circulation of air in the exchanger
on the outdoor unit and maintenance work.
2. Respect the minimum positioning distances of the outdoor unit from
the noise abatement screen.

1. Install the outdoor unit sufficiently high off the ground to allow
condensates to be discharged correctly.
2. Ensure the base meets the following specifications:
Specifications
Reason
Maximum width equal to the width of the outdoor unit.
Height at least 200 mm greater then the average depth of the
covering of snow.
This helps to protect the exchanger from snow and prevent
the formation of ice during the defrosting operation.
Location as far as possible from the thoroughfare.
The condensates discharge may freeze, causing a potential
hazard (sheet of black ice).
3. If the outside temperatures drop below zero, take the necessary
precautions to prevent the risk of freezing in the evacuation pipes.
4. Place the outdoor units beside each other and not on top of each
other to prevent the condensates from the lower unit to freeze.
