► C heck that the difference between the heights of the indoor and outdoor
units, the length of refrigerant pipe, and the number of bends in the pipe are
within the limits shown below.

• Height difference limitations are binding regardless of which unit, indoor or out-
door, is positioned higher.

2.2. Choosing the outdoor unit installation location
R32 is heavier than air—as well as other refrigerants—so tends to accumulate at
/
the base (in the vicinity of the floor). If R32 accumulates around base, it may reach
a flammable concentration in case room is small. To avoid ignition, maintaining a
safe work environment is required by ensuring appropriate ventilation. If a refrig-
erant leak is confirmed in a room or an area where there is insufficient ventilation,
refrain from using of flames until the work environment can be improved by ensur-
ing appropriate ventilation.
• Avoid locations exposed to direct sunlight or other sources of heat.
• Select a location from which noise emitted by the unit will not inconvenience
neighbors.
• Select a location permitting easy wiring and pipe access to the power source and
indoor unit.
• Avoid locations where combustible gases may leak, be produced, flow, or accu-
mulate.
• Note that water may drain from the unit during operation.
• Select a level location that can bear the weight and vibration of the unit.
• Avoid locations where the unit can be covered by snow. In areas where heavy
snow fall is anticipated, special precautions such as raising the installation loca-
tion or installing a hood on the air intake must be taken to prevent the snow from
blocking the air intake or blowing directly against it. This can reduce the airflow
and a malfunction may result.
• Avoid locations exposed to oil, steam, or sulfuric gas.
• Use the transportation handles of the outdoor unit to transport the unit. If the unit
is carried from the bottom, hands or fingers may be pinched.
• Refrigerant pipes connection shall be accessible for maintenance purposes.
/ Install outdoor units in a place where at least one of the four sides is open, and in
a sufficiently large space without depressions. (Fig. 2-2)
