To prevent exposure to wind, install the unit with its 
suction side facing the wall.
Never install the unit at a site where the suction side 
may be exposed directly to wind.
To prevent exposure to wind, install a baffle plate on 
the air discharge side of the unit.
In heavy snowfall areas, it is very important to select 
an installation site where the snow will not affect the 
unit. If lateral snowfall is possible, make sure that the 
heat exchanger coil is not affected by the snow (if 
necessary construct a lateral canopy).
6.1 Selecting a location in cold 
      climates
Refer to "Handling" in section “4 Before installation”
When operating the unit in cold climates, be sure 
to follow the instructions described below.
NOTE
09
① Construct a large canopy.
② Construct a pedestal.
Install the unit high enough off the ground to prevent it 
from being buried in snow.
6.2 Selecting a location in hot 
      climates
As the outdoor temperature is measured via the outdoor 
unit air thermistor, make sure to install the outdoor unit in 
the shade or a canopy should be constructed to avoild 
direct sunlight, so that it is not influenced by the sun’s 
heat, otherwise protection may be possible to the unit.

In case of strong wind and the wind direction can be 
foreseen,refer to the figures below for installation of the 
unit(any one is OK):
Turn the air outlet side toward the building's wall, fence 
or screen.
Make sure there is enough room to do the installation.
Set the outlet side at a right angle to the direction of the 
wind.

Prepare a water drainage channel around the 
foundation, to drain waste water from around the unit.
If water does not easily drain from the unit, mount the 
unit on a foundation of concrete blocks, etc. (the 
height of the foundation should be about 100 mm 
(3.93 in).
If you install the unit on a frame, please install a 
waterproof plate (about 100 mm) on the underside of 
the unit to prevent water from coming in from the low 
side.
When installing the unit in a place frequently exposed 
to snow, pay special attention to elevate the 
foundation as high as possible.
If you install the unit on a building 
frame, please install a waterproof tray 
(field supply) (about 100mm, on the 
underside of the unit) in order to avoid 
drain water dripping. (See the picture in 
the right).
