Atlantic 024122 - Installation of the Outdoor Unit

2.2 Installation of the outdoor unit
2.2.1 Installation precautions
" The outdoor unit must only be installed
outside. If a shelter is required, it must have
broad openings on all 4 sides and installation
clearances must be observed (gure 13).
• Choose the location of the appliance after discussion
with the client.
• We recommend choosing a site that is sunny but
sheltered from strong cold prevailing winds.
• The unit must be easily accessible for future installation
and maintenance work (gure 13).
• Ensure that connections to the hydraulic unit can be
made easily.
• The outdoor unit is able to withstand bad weather but
avoid installing it in a position where it is likely to be
exposed to signicant dirt or owing water (e.g. under
a broken gutter).
• Water may ow out of the outdoor unit when it is
operating. Do not install the unit on a paved terrace;
choose a well-drained location (e.g. gravel or sand).
If installation is carried out in an area where the
temperature stays below 0°C for long periods, check
that the presence of ice does not present any danger.
A drainage pipe can also be connected to the outdoor
unit (gure 14).
• Nothing should obstruct the air circulation through the
evaporator and out from the fan (gure 13).
• Keep the outdoor unit away from heat sources and
ammable products.
