Outdoor unit
Step 1: Select installation location
Before installing the outdoor unit, you must
choose an appropriate location. The following are
standards that will help you choose an appropriate
location for the unit.
Proper installation locations meet the
following standards:
•
Meets all spatial requirements shown in
Installation Space Requirements above.
• Good air circulation and ventilation
• Firm and solid—the location can support the
unit and will not vibrate
• Noise from the unit will not disturb others
•
Protected from prolonged periods of direct
sunlight or rain
• Where snowfall is anticipated, raise the unit
above the base pad to prevent ice buildup and
coil damage. Mount the unit high enough to be
above the average accumulated area snowfall.
The minimum height must be 18 inches.
DO NOT install unit in the following locations:
• Near an obstacle that will block air inlets and
outlets
•
Near a public street, crowded areas, or where
noise from the unit will disturb others
•
Near animals or plants that will be harmed by
hot air discharge
• Near any source of combustible gas
• In a location that is exposed to large amounts
of dust.
•
In a location exposed to a excessive amounts
of salty air.

If the unit is exposed to heavy
wind: Install unit so that air
outlet fan is at a 90° angle to the

If the unit is frequently exposed
to heavy rain or snow:
Build a shelter above the unit to
protect it from the rain or snow.
Be careful not to obstruct air
flow around the unit.
If the unit is frequently exposed
to salty air (seaside):
Use outdoor unit that is specially
designed to resist corrosion.
Step 2: Install drain joint (Heat pump unit only)
Before bolting the outdoor unit in place, you must
install the drain joint at the bottom of the unit. Note
that there are two different types of drain joints
depending on the type of outdoor unit.
If the drain joint comes with a rubber seal
(see Fig� A ), do the following:
1. Fit the rubber seal on the end of the drain joint
that will connect to the outdoor unit.
2. Insert the drain joint into the hole in the base
pan of the unit.
3. Rotate the drain joint 90° until it clicks in place
facing the front of the unit.
