POSITIONING AND MINIMUM TECHNICAL CLEARANCES
All models are designed and constructed for outdoor installations.
It is advisable to create an adequately sized support base for the unit. The units transmit a small amount of vibrations to the ground: however,
it is advisable to place anti-vibration mounts between the base frame and the supporting surface.
In case of hanging installation, it is necessary to make sure that the wall has been made with solid bricks, concrete or similar.
The wall capacity needs to be enough to support al least four times the weight of the unit.
The support plane must have enough capacity to support the unit weight, which can be checked both on the technical label
on the unit and on this technical manual under “Technical data” chapter.
The support plane must not be inclined to ensure the unit works properly and avoid a possible overturning.
The support plane must not be smooth, to avoid water/ice deposit as potential sources of danger.
Unit installation place must be free from foliage, dust, etc., which could clog or cover the coil.
Installation in areas subject to water stagnation or fall, for example from gutters, should be avoided.
Also, avoid areas subject to snow accumulation (such as corners of buildings with sloping roofs). In case of installation in
areas subject to snowfall, place the unit on a base raised from the ground by 20-30 cm, to prevent the formation of snow
accumulations around the machine.
It is recommended to ensure a sufficient air exchange or flow to dilute the R32 in case of refrigerant leakage, to avoid a
possible explosive atmosphere. For that, 1m to the sides and front of the appliance there must be no shafts, manholes or
entrances to buildings where gases might build up or get trapped.
Avoid installing the unit under roofs of any kind, such as roofs, canopies and similar.
It is very important to avoid recirculation between intake and delivery air, so as not to downgrade performance of the unit or even to interrupt
its normal operation.
This is why the Minimum clearances shown below must be strictly guaranteed.
