3. INSTALLATION WORK
Correct initial installation location is important because it is dif
fi
cult to move unit after it is
installed.
3.1. Selecting an installation location
WARNING
Select installation locations that can properly support the weight of the indoor. Install
the units securely so that they do not topple or fall.
CAUTION
Do not install the unit in the following areas:
• Area with high salt content, such as at the seaside.
It will deteriorate metal parts, causing the parts to fail or the unit to leak water.
• Area
fi
lled with mineral oil or containing a large amount of splashed oil or steam, such
as a kitchen.
It will deteriorate plastic parts, causing the parts to fail or the unit to leak water.
• Area that generates substances that adversely affect the equipment, such as sulfuric
gas, chlorine gas, acid, or alkali.
It will cause the copper pipes and brazed joints to corrode, which can cause
refrigerant leakage.
• Area that can cause combustible gas to leak, contains suspended carbon
fi
bers or
fl
ammable dust, or volatile in
fl
ammables such as paint thinner or gasoline.
If gas leaks and settles around the unit, it can cause a
fi
re.
• Area where animals may urinate on the unit or ammonia may be generated.
Do not use the unit for special purposes, such as storing food, raising animals, growing
plants, or preserving precision devices or art objects.
It can degrade the quality of the preserved or stored objects.
Do not install where there is the danger of combustible gas leakage.
Do not install the unit near a source of heat, steam, or
fl
ammable gas.
Install the unit where drainage does not cause any trouble.
Install the indoor unit, power supply cable, transmission cable, and remote controller
cable at least 1 m away from a television or radio receivers. The purpose of this is to
prevent TV reception interference or radio noise.
(Even if they are installed more than 1 m apart, you could still receive noise under
some signal conditions.)
If children under 10 years old may approach the unit, take preventive measures so that
they cannot reach the unit.
• Decide the mounting position with the customer as follows:
(1) Install the indoor unit on a place having a suf
fi
cient strength so that it withstands
against the weight of the indoor unit.
(2) The inlet and outlet ports should not be obstructed; the air should be able to blow all
over the room.
(3) Leave the space required to service the air conditioner.
(4) A place from where the air can be distributed evenly throughout the room by the unit.
(5) Install the unit where connection to the outdoor unit (or RB unit) is easy.
(6) Install the unit where the connection pipe can be easily installed.
(7) Install the unit where the drain pipe can be easily installed.
(8) Install the unit where noise and vibrations are not ampli
fi
ed.
(9) Take servicing, etc., into consideration and leave the spaces. Also install the unit
where the
fi
lter can be removed.
(10) Providing as much space as possible between the indoor unit and the ceiling will
make work much easier.
(11) If installing in a place where its humidity exceeds 80%, use heat insulation to
prevent condensation.
3.2. Installation dimensions
• Provide the space around the unit as shown in the following
fi
gure.
400 mm or more
150 mm or more *1
*
1 400 mm or more when drain from drain pipe.
• Provide a service hole for inspection purposes.
• Do not place any wiring or illumination in the service space, as they will impede service.
• When an air
fi
lter is installed on the air inlet, provide enough service space to replace
the
fi
lter.

3.3. Installing the unit
WARNING
Install the air conditioner in a location which can withstand a load of at least 5 times the
weight of the main unit and which will not amplify sound or vibration. If the installation
location is not strong enough, the indoor unit may fall and cause injuries.
If the job is done with the panel frame only, there is a risk that the unit will come loose.
Please take care.
