3.4 Foundation for floorstanding
installation
NOTE
Observe the minimum clearances in
section 3.3.1.
CAUTION
A load bearing base is required for the
outdoor unit
.
We recommend erecting foundation strips on site.
These must be horizontal and extend at right
angles to the front view (= side of the appliance
with access to refrigerant pipe connections and
electrical connection) of the outdoor unit to be
installed.
The thicknesses of cover are average values and
should be matched to local conditions. This must
be done in accordance with the applicable
engineering standards!
Installation on a foundation according to
the description is mandatory as ice may
form underneath the outdoor unit after
defrosting if meltwater cannot drain into the
gravel bed
.
The outdoor unit must be firmly bolted
to the foundation to ensure that it
cannot tip over due to wind (see 3.4.3,
3.4.4 and 3.4.1).
Ensure that the mounting feet of the
outdoor unit are at least 300 mm clear
of the surrounding terrain. Take the
expected snow depth at the installation site into
consideration.
