Outdoor Unit
The outdoor unit should be sited in a place where:
• The restrictions on installation specified in the
outdoor unit installation drawing are met.
• Drain water causes no trouble or problem in
particular.
• Both air intake and exhaust have clear paths of air.
• The unit is in a clear path of air but not directly
exposed to rain, strong winds, or direct sunlight.
• There is no fear of inflammable gas leakage.
• The unit is no directly exposed to salt, sulfidized
gases, or machine oil vapour (they may shorten
outdoor unit life).
• Operation noise or hot (cold) air flow does not
cause trouble to neighbours.
• The unit is at least 3 metres away from any
television or radio antenna.
• Condensation dripping from the stop valve cannot
damage anything during operation.
CAUTION
When operating the air conditioner in a low outdoor
ambient temperature, be sure to follow the instructions
described below.
• To prevent exposure to wind, install the outdoor unit
with its suction side facing the wall.
• Never install the outdoor unit at a site where the
suction side may be exposed directly to wind.
• To prevent exposure to wind, it is recommended to
install a baffle plate on the air discharge side of the
outdoor unit.
• In heavy snow areas,
select an installation site where
the snow will not affect the unit.
• If there is a likelihood of snow
accumulating on the outdoor
unit, attach a snow protection
hood.
• In high humidity areas or heavy
snow areas, it is recommended
to attach a drain pan heater to
prevent ice build-up from the
bottom frame.
CAUTION
Do not install the unit at altitude over
2000m for both indoor and outdoor.
