2 4 Installation of the outdoor unit
2 4 1 Installation precautions
"
The outdoor unit must only be installed outside
(outdoors). If a shelter is required, it must have
broad openings on the 4 walls and observe the
installation clearances (
figure 11
).
• Choose a site that is preferably sunny and sheltered
from strong cold predominant winds (mistral,
tramontana, etc…).
• The unit must be easily accessible for future installation
and maintenance work.
• Ensure that it is possible to make the connections to
the hydraulic unit easily.
• The outdoor unit is able to withstand bad weather but
avoid installing in a position where it is likely to be
exposed to significant dirt or flowing water (under a
defective gutter for example).
• Water may drain away from the outdoor unit when it
is operating. Do not install the appliance on a paved
terrace ; choose a well-drained place (e.g. gravel
or sand). If the installation is in an area where the
temperature can be lower than 0°C for a long period,
check that the presence of ice does not present any
danger. A drainage pipe can also be connected to the
outdoor unit (see
figure 12, page 14
).
• Nothing should obstruct the air circulation through the
evaporator and from the fan.
• Keep the outdoor unit away from heat sources and
inflammable products.
• Make sure the appliance not disturb the surrounding
area or users (noise level, draught generated, low
