Outdoor Unit Installation
NOTE FOR NEW HOME INSTALLATION
When the unit is installed in a new home, the ceiling hooks can be
embedded in advance. Ensure that the hooks do not come loose due
to concrete shrinkage. After installing the indoor unit, fasten the paper
installation template onto the unit with bolts (M6X12) to determine
in advance the dimension and position of the opening on the ceiling.
Follow the instructions above for the remainder of the installation.

5.1 Outdoor Unit Installation Instructions
The outdoor unit should be installed in a location that meets the following
requirements:
f Place the outdoor unit as close to the indoor unit as possible.
f Ensure that there is enough room for installation and maintenance.
f The air inlet and outlet must not be obstructed or exposed to strong
wind.
f Ensure that the location of the unit will not be subject to snowdrifts,
accumulation of leaves or other seasonal debris. If possible, provide

f The area must be free of combustible gases and chemicals.
f The pipe length between the outdoor and indoor unit may not exceed
the maximum allowable pipe length.
f If possible, DO NOT install the unit where it is exposed to direct
sunlight.
f If possible, ensure the unit is located far away from neighboring
property so that the noise from the unit will not disturb them.
f If the location is exposed to strong winds (for example: coastal area),
the unit must be placed against the wall to shelter it from the wind. If
necessary, use an awning. (See Fig. 11 & 12)
f Install the indoor and outdoor units, cables and wires at least 1
meter from televisions or radios to prevent static or image distortion.
Depending on the radio waves, a 1 meter distance may not be enough
to eliminate all interference.
