First of all, consult the applicable standards or regulatory codes for installing the equipment
in the selected location to ensure that the envisages system is compliant with these standards
and regulations.
In addition, prepare a careful plan of the positions of the units to prevent possible interference
with any kind of pre-existing (or scheduled) equipment or facilities, such as electrical
installations, water mains, sewerage systems, etc.
Install the units so that they are free of any kind of obstructions of the air intakes or air
discharges.
Select locations equipped with access spaces to facilitate different types of repairs or servicing
work and to leave room for the routine of pipes (copper pipes which interconnect the units,
electrical wiring and drainage).
Check that the external location is free of dust or other suspended particulate matter which
could possibly obstruct the vanes of the outdoor unit.
It is essential for the indoor unit to posses a hydraulic line to drain off the condensate.
This hydraulic line must have a diameter of no less than 3/4" and, after the discharge, must
posses a siphon to guarantee the perfect capture and sealing of the air. During the initial
start-up, this siphon must be prefilled with water to prevent air being suctioned from the
drainage pipe.
Draining the outdoor unit only becomes necessary when it is installed in a high position and
constitute a dripping risk.
