3. INSTALLATION WORK
Especially, the installation place is very important for the split
type air conditioner because it is very dif
fi
cult to move from
place to place after the
fi
rst installation.

3.1. Selecting an installation location
Decide the mounting position together with the customer as
follows.
WARNING
• Select installation locations that can properly support the
weight of the indoor unit. Install the units securely so that
they do not topple or fall.
CAUTION
Do not install the indoor unit in the following areas:
• Area with high salt content, such as at the seaside. It will
deteriorate metal parts, causing the parts to fall or the
unit to leak water.
• Area
fi
lled with mineral oil or containing a large amount
of splashed oil or steam, such as a kitchen. It will
deteriorate plastic parts, causing the parts to fall or the
unit to leak water.
• Area that generates substances that adversely affect the
equipment, such as sulfuric gas, chlorine gas, acid, or
alkali. It will cause the copper pipes and brazed joints to
corrode, which can cause refrigerant leakage.
• Area that can cause combustible gas to leak, contains
suspended carbon
fi
bers or
fl
ammable dust, or volatile
inflammables such as paint thinner or gasoline. If gas
leaks and settles around the unit, it can cause a
fi
re.
• Area where animals may urinate on the unit or ammonia
may be generated.
• Do not use the unit for special purposes, such as storing
food, raising animals, growing plants, or preserving
precision devices or art objects.
It can degrade the quality of the preserved or stored
objects.
• Do not install where there is the danger of combustible
gas leakage.
• Do not install the unit near a source of heat, steam, or
fl
ammable gas.
• Install the unit where drainage does not cause any
trouble.
• Install the indoor unit, outdoor unit, power supply cable,
transmission cable, and remote controller cable at least 1
m away from a television or radio receivers. The purpose
of this is to prevent TV reception interference or radio
noise. (Even if they are installed more than 1 m apart, you
could still receive noise under some signal conditions.)
• If children under 10 years old may approach the unit,
take preventive measures so that they cannot reach the
unit.
• Take precautions to prevent the unit from falling.
(1) Install the indoor unit on a place having a suf
fi
cient
strength so that it withstands against the weight of the
indoor unit.
(2) The inlet and outlet ports should not be obstructed; the air
should be able to blow all over the room.
(3) Leave the space required to service the air conditioner.
(4) Install the unit where connection to the outdoor unit is
easy.
(5) Install the unit where the connection pipe can be easily
installed.
(6) Install the unit where the drain pipe can be easily installed.
(7) Install the unit where noise and vibrations are not
ampli
fi
ed.
(8) Take servicing, etc., into consideration and leave the
spaces. Also install the unit where the
fi
lter can be
removed.
(9) Do not install the unit where it will be exposed to direct
sunlight.

3.3. Installation the unit
WARNING
• Install the air conditioner in a location which can
withstand a load of at least 5 times the weight of the main
unit and which will not amplify sound or vibration. If the
installation location is not strong enough, the indoor unit
may fall and cause injuries.
