Installation of the outdoor unit

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.
• 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 (
fi g. 16 & fi g. 17, page 18).
• 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 signifi cant dirt or fl owing water (e.g. under
a broken gutter).
• During normal operation, condensation is common.
Ensure that the unit is installed in a well drained
location (e.g. Gravel, 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 drain pipe can be connected to
the condensate drain tray (option) (fi g. 18).
• Caution should be taken to ensure that there is no
obstruction to air circulating through the outdoor unit
(fi g. 16 & fi g. 17, page 18).
• Keep the outdoor unit away from heat sources and
fl ammable products.
• Make sure that the unit does not disturb the
surrounding area or inhabitants (noise level, draught,
low temperature of the ejected air freezing the plants
in its path).
