2.6 - SELECTION OF POSITION FOR OUTSIDE UNIT
To obtain the best operating performance and prevent faults or hazardous conditions, the position of outdoor
unit installation must meet the following requirements:
a. Itshouldbeprotectedfromdirectsunlight(g.11).
b.Itshouldbeprotectedfromatmosphericagents(rain,snow)andfromdirectgustsofstrongwind(g.11).
c. It should also be protected from any copious downow of water (gutter drains or watering cans)
(g.12).
d.Itshouldstandonasolidsurfaceabletowithstanditsweight(g.12).
e. The outside unit must be installed perfectly level (check with a bubble level).
Note: If the outdoor unit must be installed on the wall or roof, it is necessary to use the relevant kit (optional)
For assembly, follow the relative instructions, attached to the kit packaging, scrupulously.
f. The unit must not be in a position that obstructs the passage of persons or animals.
g. The unit should not be installed downwind of chimneys discharging burnt gas or subject to emissions of
fumes, oily or corrosive gasses.
h. It should be possible to discharge the condensation produced.
i. Take the air conditioner weight into account and select a place where noise and vibration will not be an
issue.
l. Select a place so that the warm air and noise from the air conditioner do not disturb neighbors.
m.Zoneswithprobableaccumulationofsnow(gure13).
Position the outdoor unit on a raised surface (wall), with height above the foreseeable maximum amount
of snowfall, since:
• iftheappliancedoesnothaveaheatpump,whenthesnowmelts,watermayinltrateinsidetheunit
and cause damage to the electric components.
• iftheappliancehasaheatpump,theaccumulationofsnowpreventstheregularcirculationoftheair
andmakescondensatedrainagedifcult.
n.Positioningtheunitonaoorarea(terrace,land,roof,etc.)inareasthataredifculttoaccess.
The support base must have good drainage of the water and prevent the possible accumulation of dirt
undertheunit,(e.g.dryleaves-gure13).
 Inthiscase,makearaisedareaof10÷15cmontowhichtheunitcanbexedusingfoundationstuds.
No interventions are required when positioned on a balcony, since there is already enough slope for the
regularrun-offofthewaterandsufcientprotectionfromtheaccumulationofdirt.
o.Positioningtheunitonarigidmetalbase(brackets,metalprolesupports,etc.).
 Inthiscase,theunitmustalwaysbefastenedtothesupportbaseviavibrationdampers(gure14)with
dimensions and capacity suitable for the weight of the machine (on request).
 Furthermore,thebasemusthaveappropriaterigiditytopreventtheamplicationofvibrationsdueto
regular operation.
