• Places where the indoor and outdoor unit’s piping and wiring
lengths come within the allowable ranges.
• A location where there is no risk of flammable gas leaking.
(2) If the unit is installed in a location where it might be exposed to
strong wind, install as per figure 3.
• 11 mph (5 m/s) or higher winds blown against the outdoor unit’s
exhaust cause a deterioration in the system performance. High
winds force re-circulation of the exhaust air into the inlet, which is
known to cause the following effects:
• Reduction in performance.
• Increased frost formation in heating mode.
• System shut down due to increased pressures.
• If very strong wind blows continuously on the air outlet side of the
outdoor unit, the fan may turn in reverse at high speed and break,
so install as per figure 3.
(Refer to figure 3)
1.
Turn the air outlet side toward the building’s wall, fence or
windbreak screen.
2.
Air inlet grille
3.
Ensure there is enough space for installing the unit.
4.
Set the outlet side at a right angle to the direction of the
wind.
5.
Strong wind
6.
Blown air
(3) When installing the unit in a place frequently exposed to snow,
pay special attention to the following:
• Install the outdoor unit on a stand (field supply), so that the bottom
frame is more than 20 in. (500 mm) higher than the expected snow
fall to prevent it from being covered by snow.
• Attach a snow hood (field supply) and a snow vizor (field supply).
• Avoid installation at the place where a snowdrift is generated.
• Further, perform the following countermeasures, since there is risk
that the drain water produced at the defrost operation freezes.
• Install the outdoor unit so that its bottom place level has a sufficient
height from foundation level, so that ice does not grow at the lower
surface of the bottom place of the outdoor unit. (Recommended
clearance: 20 in. (500 mm) or more)
• In areas where the outside air temperature drops below 32°F (0°C)
for more than 12 hours continuously, install a drain-pan heater
(optional accessory) on the bottom frame to prevent the drain from
freezing.
• An optional drain pan heater is available when the unit is installed
in a climate where the drain may freeze.
• The installer should use their local knowledge to determine if this
accessory is necessary to prevent the drain from freezing.
• Do not use a concentrated drain plug (field supply).
(If a drain plug and/or drain pipe are/is used, there is a risk of freezing.)
• If there is a problem with drain dripping from the bottom frame
drain, set up a roof (field supply) below the outdoor unit, or enact
other countermeasures.
• Remove the rear inlet grille to prevent snow from accumulating on
the rear fins.
(4)
When there is possibility of short-circuit depending on the ambient
situation, use the wind direction adjusting plate (optional acces-
sory).
(5)
The refrigerant gas (R410A) is a safe, non-toxic and non-flammable gas,
but if it leaks into the room, the concentration may exceed tolerance lev-
els, especially in small rooms, so steps need to be taken to prevent
refrigerant leakage. See the equipment design reference for details.
(6)
Inverter-type air conditioners sometimes cause static in other elec-
trical appliances.
When selecting an installation location, make sure the air condi-
tioner and all wiring are sufficiently far away from radios, computers,
stereos, and other appliances, as shown in figure 4.
Particularly for locations with weak reception, ensure there is a dis-
tance of at least 9.8ft. (3 m) for indoor remote controllers, place
power supply wiring and transmission wiring in conduits, and
ground the conduits. Use non-shielded wire for transmission wiring.

Space needed for installation
Refer to figure 5~10 for necessary clearance and service space
between the refrigerant tank and the unit. Install the tank outside of
this space.
<
Precautions when installing units in series
>
• The direction for interunit piping is either forward or down when
installing units in series, as shown in the figure(5~10).
• If the piping is brought out from the back, the outdoor unit will
require at least 10in. from its right side.
(All figures represent millimeters.)

INLET
When nothing is obstructing the top

tion per row
• In case obstacles exist in front of the air inlet and on both sides of
the unit
(Refer to figure 5-[3])
