7.3 - OUTDOOR UNIT INSTALLATION
Install the unit by following local codes and regula-
tions, there may be differ slightly between different

7.3.1 - 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 stand-
ards:
• Keep the distances indicated in the figure.
• Good air circulation and ventilation.
• Stable and levelled supporting surface.
• The unit noise must not disturb others.

• Near an obstacle which may obstruct the air inlet or outlet.
• 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
7.3.2 - Special considerations for extreme
weather
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.
If the unit is frequently exposed to salty air (seaside):
Use outdoor unit that is specially designed to resist corrosion.
7.3.3 - Step 2: Install drain joint (Heat pump unit only)
Before bolting the outdoor unit in place, you must install the drain joint at the bottom of the unit. Note that
there are two different types of drain joints depending on the type of outdoor unit.
If the drain joint comes with a rubber seal (see Fig. A), do
the following:
1. Position the seal on the drain joint.
2. Insert the joint on the hole located on the external base
of the unit.
3. Turn the joint 80° until you hear the click and place it
frontally.
