Installation Instruction This manual
11.14.2 SELECT THE OUTDOOR UNIT INSTALLATION LOCATION
1. Install the unit once you have checked that the installation location matches the following conditions.
•
A location with sufficient ventilation.
•
Possibly a location that is sheltered from rain or direct sunlight and is well-ventilated so that hot and cool air
does not build up.
•
A location where the area around the outtake is not exposed to animals or plants which could adversely
affect the release of hot or cool air from the unit.
•
A location where the outtake and operation noise will not be a nuisance to the neighbours.
•
A location that can support the product’s weight or vibrations and secured for horizontal installation wherever
possible.
•
A location that does not obstruct the air outtake or intake.
•
A location where there is no danger of flammable or corrosive gas leaks.
•
A location that provides space for installation and service.
•
A location that allows the pipe and cable length fixture for internal and external connections.
2. Refer to the diagram below for the installation location which is exposed to strong wind.
•
If a strong wind of more than 5 m/sec blows to the area directly in front of the outtake, the outdoor unit’s air
flow is reduced and the outflow may re-enter (short circuit) causing the following outcome:
“Reduced capacity”, “Increased frost formation during heating” or “Operation stopped due to increased
pressure”.
Should an exceptionally strong wind blow to the area directly in front of the outtake of the outdoor unit; there
is the risk of damage due to the fan’s high-speed reverse rotation.
•
If the direction of the prevailing wind is known when operating the unit, place the unit at an appropriate angle
to the wind’s direction so that the outtake faces towards a building or a wall.

3. If installing at locations prone to snowfall, install the unit as high as possible with suitable roofing which shelters
the unit from snow.
4. Avoid installing the unit in locations where there are petroleum products (such as machine oil), saline content,
sulphurous gas and where high frequency noise is generated.
5. Place the indoor and outdoor unit, power cords and indoor/outdoor unit connection cables at a minimum distance
of 1 meter or more away from televisions and radios. This is to avoid interference to picture and/or sound.
(However, depending on the electromagnetic waves, noise interference may still occur even with the 1 meter
separation.)
6. For restaurants and kitchens, avoid installing at locations which draws oil and steam.
Plastic parts can deteriorate from droplets of oil and steam or it can cause falling parts or water leakage.
7. Avoid installing at the location where cutting oil mist or iron powder is present.
8. If there is an immense voltage fluctuation due to the location’s problem, ensure to split the power supply.
9. When installing the product in a place where it will be affected by typhoon or strong wind such as wind blowing
between buildings, including the rooftop of a building and a place where there is no building in surroundings, fix
the product with an overturn prevention wire, etc.
