2. Selecting the Installation Site
Indoor Unit
AVOID:
●
areas where leakage of flammable gas may be
expected.
●
places where large amount of oil mist exist.
●
direct sunlight.
●
locations near heat sources which may affect
performance of the unit.
●
locations where external air may enter the room
directly. This may cause “sweating” on the air
discharge ports, causing them to spray or drip.
●
locations where the remote control unit will be
splashed with water or affected by dampness or
humidity.
●
installing the remote control unit behind curtains or
furniture.
●
locations where the receiver in the indoor unit is
exposed to the inverter lamp light. Faulty operation
of the unit occurs.
DO:
●
select an appropriate position from which every
corner of the room can be uniformly cooled.
●
select a location where the ceiling is strong enough
to support the weight of the unit.
●
select a location where tubing and drain pipe have
the shortest run to the outdoor unit.
●
allow room for operation and maintenance as well
as unrestricted air flow around the unit. (Fig. 2-1)
●
install the unit within the maximum elevation
difference above or below the outdoor unit and
within a total tubing length from the outdoor unit as
detailed in Table 1-2.
●
allow room for mounting the remote control unit
about 3 ft. off the floor, in an area that is not in
direct sunlight nor in the flow of cool air from the
indoor unit.
Air delivery will be degraded if the distance from the
floor to the ceiling is greater than 10 ft..
