Outdoor Unit Placement Considerations

WARNING

!

Use  the  provided  and  specified  components 

when installing equipment. Failure to do so may 

result in unit falling, water leaking or electrical 

shocks, caus ing personal injury or equipment 

or property dam age.

Check stability of unit support. If sup port is 

not capable of carrying weight of the unit, unit 

may fall causing personal injury or equipment 

damage.

Safely dispose of packing materials, which 

include nails, wood and other sharp objects, 

as well as plastic wrapping. Children playing 

with plastic wrap or bags risk the danger of 

suffocation.

IMPORTANT!

Exhaust vents from dryers, water heaters and 

furnaces should be directed away from the 

outdoor unit. Prolonged exposure to exhaust 

gases and the chemicals contained within 

them may cause condensation to form on the 

steel cabinet and other metal components of 

the outdoor unit. This will diminish unit perfor-

mance and longevity.

In addition to clearances, the following items should 

be considered when setting the outdoor unit:

•  2007 EPA Noise Policy. Observe local code 

adoptions/enforcement as consideration should 

be used when selecting an outdoor unit’s perma-

nent placement. Sound data for each unit can be 

found in the Product Specifications Document. 

•  Glass has a very high level of sound transmis-

sion. When possible, do not install the unit direct

-

ly outside a window.

• 

Avoid installing the unit in areas exposed to ex

-

treme voltage variations (such as factories).

•  Install unit level.

• 

Allow sufficient space around unit for proper op

-

eration and maintenance.

• 

Install the outdoor unit a minimum of 3 ft. (1 m) 

away from any antenna, power cord (line), radio, 

telephone, security system, or intercom. Electri

-

cal interference and radio frequencies from any 

of these sources may affect operation.

•  Outdoor unit shall maintain a minimum distance 

of 10 ft. (3 m) from dryer exhaust vents.

•  Outdoor unit shall maintain a minimum distance 

of 10 ft. (3 m) from Type 1 kitchen exhaust out

-

lets.

•  Coating outdoor coils is recommended in appli-

cations installed in coastal regions less than 30 

miles (48 kilometers) inland.
