INSTALLING THE CONDENSING UNIT
Step 1: Select installation location
Before installing the outdoor unit, you must choose an appropriate
location. The following are standards that will help you choose an
appropriate location for the unit.
Proper installation locations meet the following standards:
•
Meets all suggested spatial requirements according to diagram
•
Good air circulation and ventilation
•
Firm and solid—the location can support the unit, is level, and will not vibrate
•
Protected from prolonged periods of direct sunlight or rain
•
Condensing unit is suggested to be mounted on concrete pad. Wall mounting is
optional but will cause excess vibration.
DO NOT install unit in the following locations:
•
Near an obstacle that will block air inlets and outlets
•
Near a public street, crowded areas, or where noise from the unit will disturb others
•
Near animals or plants that will be harmed by hot air discharge
•
Near any source of combustible gas
•
In a location that is exposed to large amounts of dust
•
In a location exposed to a excessive amounts of salty air
•
In a closet or small room
Special Considerations For Cold Weather And Other Outdoor Conditions
If the unit is exposed to heavy wind:
Install unit so that air outlet fan is at a 90° angle to the direction of the wind. If needed, build a barrier in front of the unit to protect it
from extremely heavy winds.
If the unit is frequently exposed to heavy rain or snow:
Build a shelter above the unit to protect it from the rain or snow. Be careful not to obstruct air flow around the unit. Unit should be
elevated to prevent build up of debris and snow in front of fan.
Step 2: Anchor outdoor unit
The outdoor unit can be anchored to the ground or to a wall-mounted bracket.
