2.1 Unit Location Check List
•
EPA - A correctly installed unit will perform to specification on sound pressure
radiated noise. As an installer, you have a professional obligation to ensure that
every practical and reasonable effort is made to install this product to best
practice guidelines and ensure that any operational noise does not affect
neighbours. Complying with EPA / council by laws for noise abates is the
responsibility of the dealer / installer / owner.
NOTE: Do not mount the unit on a section of roof that slopes towards a
neighbour’s property.
•
Place the unit well away from sources of smoke, dust and objectionable fumes so
that only clean, fresh outside air will be drawn into the unit. Reference should be
made to relevant gas codes and state plumbing regulations.
•
Check the proposed location to ensure that building members are structurally
capable of supporting the operating weight of the air conditioner. You may need
to consult the roof truss manufacturer.
•
The unit must be installed in a position that gives safe access for service. It is
the responsibility of the dealer / installer to ensure safe access to the unit can be
obtained for servicing the product.
•
Where roof height, pitch or construction will cause OH&S concerns as previously
mentioned, service footing supports / platform and or harness anchorage must
be provided for safe service.
NOTE: The manufacturer and its service providers reserve the right to
refuse service unless safety and accessibility to the unit can be
guaranteed.
•
The cost of any extra equipment required to give access to the unit for servicing
or warranty repairs is the responsibility of the owner.
The unit should face into the customer’s back yard, as low as possible on the roof, with easy,
unobstructed access. Keep the unit away from chimneys, flues and vents that will pollute the
filter pads and the fresh air being drawn into the house.
