GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR
INSTALLATION
Locating the Outdoor Unit
The outdoor unit houses the compressor,
condenser fan and electrical components.
The heat removed from the room is expelled
to the atmosphere through the outdoor unit.
Once again, the Onida / dealer's Technician
will ensure optimal installation of the ODU for
you. However, the following information will
be of interest to you.
• The Outdoor Unit can be mounted on a
wall, sunshade or skirting.
• Ideally, the ODU should not be too
far
a w a y f r o m t h e I D U ; t h e
recommended
distances are
marked in
the adjacent figure.
• Ensure that air can pass freely through
the
unit. Please allow at least 2 meters
free
space on the air outlet side, and 0.3
meters on the air inlet side.
• If more than one ODU is to be installed,
they must be properly separated, so that
the warm air from the outlet of one does
not enter the inlet of the other.
• Avoid long and complicated routing
between the IDU and ODU, as
shown in the three adjacent figures.
• Too long
• Too high
• Too many bends
• The ODU must be placed on strong
frame or support. If mounted on a
wall, please ensure that the wall is
thick enough and that the frame is
supported adequately.
• Finally, it is most important for the
ODU to be easily accessible to the
service engineer. It is advisable to
discuss the same with the engineer
before deciding upon the location of
the unit.
If the ODU is to be located on a high
ledge, adequate space must be
provided for the service engineer to
service the unit. It is a good idea to
provide a catwalk (a platform)
around the unit and access door /
window to the Unit.
Electrical outlet
After the location of the outdoor unit and
indoor unit is finalised, you must provide
a suitable electrical outlet near the
indoor unit.
