10-4. Outdoor Unit
10-4-1. Installation Place
• A place which provides enough space 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 neighbors.
• A place which is not exposed to a strong wind.
• A place free of combustible gases.
• A place which does not block a passageway.
• When the outdoor unit is to be installed in an
elevated position, be sure to secure its feet.
• This air conditioner accepts a connection piping
length of up to 20 m.
• There is no need to add refrigerant as long as
the length of the connection piping is 15 m or
less.
• You will need to add 20 g of refrigerant per meter
of added connection piping for installations
requiring connection piping to be between 16 m
to 20 m.
• An allowable height level is up to 10 m.
• A place where the drain water does not cause any
problems.
Precautions for adding refrigerant
• Use a scale having a precision with at least 10 g
per index line when adding the refrigerant.
Do not use a bathroom scale or similar instrument.
• Use liquid refrigerant when refilling the refrigerant.
Since the refrigerant is in liquid form, it can fill
quickly.
Therefore, perform the filling operation carefully
and insert the refrigerant gradually.
CAUTION
1. Install the outdoor unit without anything
blocking the discharging air.
2. When the outdoor unit is installed in a place
always exposed to strong winds like on the
coast or on a high story of a building, secure
the normal fan operation using a duct or a
wind shield.
3. Especially in windy areas, install the unit to
prevent the 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 sulfide gas.
• A place where high-frequency waves are
likely to be generated, such as from audio
equipment, welders, and medical equip-
ment.
