Installation guidelines / precautions Daikin Altherma
Outdoor unit
Installation location (general)
Select an installation site that meets the following requirements:
• The foundation must be strong enough to support the weight of the unit. The floor is flat to prevent vibrations and noise
generation and to have sufficient stability.
• The space around the unit is adequate for maintenance/servicing and allows for sufficient air circulation.(Refer to “Installation
and service space” information sheet}
• There is no danger of fire due to leakage of inflammable gas.
• The equipment is not intended for use in a potentially explosive atmosphere.
• Select the location of the unit in such a way that the sound and discharged cold/hot air generated by the unit does not disturb
anyone, and the location is selected according the applicable legislation.
• All piping lengths and distances have been taken into consideration (refer to “Technical specification” information sheet).
• Take care that in the event of a water leak, water cannot cause any damage to the installation space and surroundings.
• Install units, power cords and inter-unit cables at least 3 m away from television and radio sets. This is to prevent
interference to images and sounds.
• Depending on radio wave conditions, electromagnetic interference may still occur even if installed more than 3 m away.
Do not install in the following locations:
• Locations where sulphurous acids and other corrosive gases may be present in the atmosphere.
• Locations where a mineral oil mist, spray or vapour may be present in the atmosphere.
• Locations where flammable gases may leak, where thinner, gasoline and other volatile substances are handled, or where
carbon dust and other incendiary substances are found in the atmosphere.
• In areas where the air contains high levels of salt such as that near the ocean.
• To prevent exposure to wind, install the outdoor unit with its suction side facing the wall.
• Never install the outdoor unit at a site where the suction side (left and back) may be exposed directly to wind, snow. (See
“Installation and Service space” information sheet and figure 1)
Installation location (in cold climates)
• To prevent exposure to wind, install a baffle plate on the air discharge side of the outdoor unit.
• Unit should be installed in a way that a minimum of 10 cm free space is assured below the unit’s bottom plate at all
conditions (prevent burying in snow), e.g.: heavy snowfall (if necessary construct a pedestal).
• In heavy snowfall areas it is very important to select an installation site where the snow will not affect the unit. Make sure that
the heat exchanger coil (left and back side) is not affected by the snow (if necessary construct a lateral canopy and baffle
plate on the air side).
• Recommended installation set-up. (See “Installation and Service space” information sheet and figure 2)
