5.1 General installation requirements
The installation site must fulfil the following conditions:
• Well-ventilated areas ensuring an exchange of treated air.
• Areas where the unit will not disturb neighbours.
• Safe areas that can withstand the weight and vibrations of the unit and where it can be installed on flat
ground. The unit is designed for outdoor installation.
• Areas that are not exposed to flammable gas or product leaks.
• Areas free from potentially explosive atmospheres.
• Areas with adequate functional spaces including operating spaces and spaces required for extraordinary
and routine maintenance.
• Areas that allow the maximum specified lengths for the unit's piping and electric cables to be adhered to.
• Areas where any water leaks from the unit cannot cause damage (e.g. if the drain pipe is blocked).
• Areas protected from prolonged exposure to sunlight or rain.
• Areas with adequate functional spaces including operating spaces and spaces required for extraordinary
and routine maintenance.
• Areas protected from heat sources.
• Clean and protected areas so that the unit cannot be used as a refuge for small animals.
Contact between these animals and electrical components can cause malfunctions or fires.
• Compliance with EN 378, in case of indoor installation in large rooms, as the unit contains flammable
refrigerant. The unit is designed for outdoor installation.
Be careful:
• Not to install the unit in areas that are frequently used as workspaces. In the event of construction work
that produces large amounts of dust (e.g. grinding, etc.), the unit must be covered.
• Not to place any objects or equipment on the unit (on the top panel).
• Not to sit or stand on the unit.
• Not to install the unit in places with high salinity or in the presence of corrosive gases.
• Not to install the unit in places where it will be subjected to continuous vibration.
• To provide a water drain duct around the base to ensure the drainage of discharge water around the unit.
If it is dicult to drain the water from the unit, place the unit on a raised base.
