Installation
5.3.2 Unit exposed to direct sunlight
Since the outdoor temperature is measured by the unit's thermistor, it is recommended to install the unit in a
shady location or under a canopy to protect it from direct sunlight and heat.

5.3.3 Unit exposed to heavy rain or snow
• Install a canopy above the unit to protect it from rain or snow. Make sure the heat exchanger is not
exposed to snow (if necessary, build a side canopy).
• Make sure the airflow around the unit is not obstructed.
• Provide a raised base on which to install the unit.
The base must be high enough to prevent the unit from being covered with snow. It is advisable to leave at
least 100mm above the maximum height in the event of heavy snowfall.
