Arrange the drain pipe for proper drainage from the unit.
Improper drainage can result in dew-dropping.
This air conditioner has the structure designed
to drain water collected from dew, which forms
on the back of the indoor unit, to the drain pan.
Therefore, do not store the power cord and other
parts at a height above the drain guide.
CAUTION
OUTDOOR UNIT
OUTDOOR UNIT
Installation Place
• A place which provides the spaces around the outdoor unit as shown in the
diagram
• A place which can bear the weight of the outdoor unit and does not allow an
increase in noise level and vibration
• A place where the operation noise and discharged air do not disturb your
neighbors
• A place which is not exposed to a strong wind
• A place free of a leakage of combustible gases
• A place which does not block a passage
• When the outdoor unit is to be installed in an elevated position, be sure to
secure its feet.
• The allowable pipe length is up to 15 m for RAS-05, 07, 10, 13BAVG-E and
20 m for RAS-16BAVG-E. If the length is over 15 m, add 20 g of refrigerant
for every additional meter of the pipe length.
• The allowable height of outdoor-unit installation site is up to 12 m.
• A place where the drain water does not raise any problems
CAUTION
1. Install the outdoor unit without anything blocking the air discharging.
2. When the outdoor unit is installed in a place always exposed to strong
wind like a coast or on a high storey of a building, secure the normal fan
operation using a duct or a windshield.
3. In particularly windy areas, install the unit such as to avoid admission of
wind.
4. Installation in the following places may result in trouble.
Do not install the unit in such places.
• A place full of machine oil
• A saline-place such as the coast
• A place full of sul
fi
de gas
• A place where high-frequency
waves are likely to be generated
as from audio equipment, welders,
and medical equipment
Strong
wind
• Do not use the supplied drain nipple for draining water. Drain the water
from all the drain holes directly.
• To protect the outdoor unit from snow accumulation, install a holding
frame, and attach a snow protection hood and plate.
* Do not use a double-stacked design.
