
When installing the unit in a place exposed to strong wind, pay special attention to the following .
Strong winds of 5 m/sec or more blowing against the outdoor unit’s air outlet causes short circuit (suction of
discharge air), and this may have the following consequences:

Deterioration of the operational capacity .

Frequent frost acceleration in heating operation .

Disruption of operation due to rise of high pressure .

When a strong wind blows continuously on the face of the unit, the fan can start rotating very fast until it breaks
. Refer to the figures for installation of this unit in a place where the wind direction can be foreseen .

Repare a water drainage channel around the foundation, to drain waste water from around the unit .

If the water drainage of the unit is not easy, please build up the unit on a foundation of concrete blocks, etc
.(the height of the foundation should be maximum 150mm) .

If you install the unit on a frame, please install a waterproof plate(field supplu) within 150mm of the underside
of the unit in order to prevent the invasion of water from the lower direction .
When installing the unitin a place frequently exposed to snow, pay special attention to elevate the foundation as
high as possible .

Make sure that the unit is installed level .
General

To prevent exposure to wind, install the outdoor unit with its suction side facing the wall .

Never install the outdoor unit at a site where the suction side may be exposed directly to wind .

To prevent exposure to wind, install a baffle plate on the air discharge side of the outdoor unit .
In heavy snowfall areas it is very important to select an installation site where the snow will not affect the unit and
set the outlet side at a right angle to the direction of the wind .
General

For seacoast applications, block the unit from direct exposure to sea breeze by installing the unit behind
a structure
(such as a building) or a protective wall that is 1 .5 times higher than the unit, leaving 700 mm of space between
the wall and unit for air circulation . Consult an installation expert about taking anti-corrosion measures, such as
removing salinity on the heat exchanger and applying a rust inhibitor more frequently than once a year .
