2.3. Windy location installation
When installing the outdoor unit on a rooftop or other location where the unit is
exposed to strong wind, do not face the air outlet of the unit directly winds. Strong
wind entering the air outlet may impede the normal airfl ow and it may result in a
malfunction.
The following shows three examples of precautions against strong winds.
1 Face the air outlet towards the nearest available wall keeping about 50 cm dis-
tance. (Fig. 2-2)
2 Install an optional air guide if the unit is installed in a location where strong winds
such as a typhoon, etc. may directly blow to the air outlet. (Fig. 2-3)

3 Position the unit so that the outlet air can blow at right angle to the seasonal
wind direction, if possible. (Fig. 2-4)

2.4. NECESSARY SPACE TO INSTALL
2.4.1. When installing a single outdoor unit (Refer to the last page)
Minimum dimensions are as follows, unless Maximum dimensions are indicated.
Refer to the fi gures for each case.
1 Obstacles at rear only (Fig. 2-5)
2 Obstacles at rear and above only (Fig. 2-6)
3 Obstacles at rear and side(s) only (Fig. 2-7)
4 Obstacles at front only (Fig. 2-8)
5 Obstacles at front and rear only (Fig. 2-9)
6 Obstacles at rear, side(s), and above only (Fig. 2-10)
• Do not install the optional air outlet guide to make upward airfl ow.
2.4.2. When installing multiple outdoor units (Refer to the last page)
Leave 10 mm or more between the units.
1 Obstacles at rear only (Fig. 2-11)
2 Obstacles at rear and above only (Fig. 2-12)
• No more than three units must be installed side by side. Make sure to leave space as shown.
• Do not install the optional air outlet guide to make upward airfl ow.
3 Obstacles at front only (Fig. 2-13)
4 Obstacles at front and rear only (Fig. 2-14)
5 When multiple units are installed in a row (Fig. 2-15)
6 When multiple units are installed in rows parallel (Fig. 2-16)
*
When using an optional air outlet guide installed to make upward airfl ow, the necessary dis-
tance is 1000 mm or more.
7 To stack the unit vertically (Fig. 2-17)
• The units can be stacked up to two units high.
• No more than two stacked units must be installed side by side. Make sure to leave space as
shown.
• Be sure to install the unit in a solid, level surface to prevent rattling noises during
(mm)
operation. (Fig. 3-1)

Length of bolt
Weight-bearing capacity
• Make sure that the length of the foundation bolt is within 30 mm from the surface
of the base.
• Secure the base of the unit fi rmly with four-M10 foundation bolts in solid locations.
Installing the outdoor unit
• Do not block the vent. If the vent is blocked, operation will be hindered and the
unit may breakdown.
• If the additional fi xation of the unit is necessary, use the installation holes on the
back of the unit to attach wires, etc. with self-tapping screws (ø5 × 15 mm or
less).
Warning:
• The unit must be securely installed on a structure that can sustain its
weight. If the unit is mounted on an unstable structure, it may fall down and
cause damage or injuries.
• The unit must be installed according to the instructions in order to minimize
the risk of damage by earthquakes, typhoons, or strong winds. An improp-
erly installed unit may fall down and cause damage or injuries.
