Technical guide
Floorstanding installation:
■
Use supports for floorstanding installation (accesso-
ries).
■
Where such supports cannot be used, install the
external unit freestanding on a solid base of
at least 100 mm height.
■
In difficult climatic circumstances (temperatures
below zero, snow, humidity) install the appliance on
a plinth of approx. 300 mm height.
■
Take into account the weight of the external unit: See
the following table.
Wall mounting:
■
Use the wall mounting bracket set (accessories).
■
The wall must meet the structural requirements.
Positioning:
■
Never install with the discharge side facing the main
wind direction.
■
Provide wall ducts and protective pipes for the refrig-
erant lines and electrical cables without moulded
parts and change of direction.
Weather influences:
■
Observe wind loads when installing the unit on sites
exposed to the wind.
■
Incorporate the external unit into the lightning protec-
tion system.
■
Consider the heat emitted by the unit when planning
your weatherproofing or an enclosure.
Condensate:
■
Ensure the condensate can drain freely, and create a
permanent gravel bed below the external unit as a
soakaway.
■
In regions with prolonged cold seasons (such as
Sweden for example), provide an electric ribbon
heater (accessory) for the condensate pan.
Insulation against structure-borne noise and vibra-
tions between building and external unit:
■
When line entry is
above
ground level, fit pipe bends
in the refrigerant lines for vibration compensation:
See "Connecting refrigerant lines".
■
Route electrical cables/leads between the internal
and external units free of stress.
■
Installation only on walls with high weight per area (
>
250 kg/m
2
), in other words not on lightweight walls,
roof structures etc.
■
For floorstanding installation, only use the rubber
mounts supplied.
■
For wall mounting, only use the anti-vibration mounts
from the bracket set.
■
Never use additional anti-vibration mounts, springs,
rubber mounts, etc.
