4.3 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.
Set the unit on mounting brackets or pad. To avoid the adverse effects of snow, ice and defrosting issues, install
the unit on heat pump risers to ensure a sufficient height from the ground. In all cases, refer to local code for
correct riser height.
Make sure the outdoor unit is installed level and is stable.
Install snow protection hood as necessary.
