Selecting a location in cold climates
t
When operating the unit in a low outdoor ambient temperature, be sure to follow the instructions described
below.
NOTE
f
To prevent exposure to wind, install the unit with its suction side facing the wall.
f
Never install the unit at a site where the suction side may be exposed directly to wind.
f
To prevent exposure to wind, install a baffle plate on the air discharge side of the unit.
f
In heavy snowfall areas it is very important to select an installation site where the snow will not affect the unit. If lateral
snowfall is possible, make sure that the heat exchanger coil is not affected by the snow (If necessary construct a lateral
canopy)
1. Construct a large canopy.
2. Construct a pedestal.
- Install the unit high enough off the ground to prevent it being buried under
snow.
f
The outdoor unit should be installed with consideration of the direction of strong winds. These can make the unit turn
over, so the side of the unit should be set to face the wind, not the front of the unit.
