INSTALLATION
2.1
INSTALLATION
MODES
To obtarn the best
results and optimum
performance,
follow the instructions
for
correct
installation
provided
in
this
manual. Failure
to follow the
instructions and apply
the rules
indicated
may
cause
malfunction of the appliance and
relieves the manufacturer,
OLIMPIA SPLENDID
of any
form of
guarantee
and liability
for
damages
to
persons,
animals or
property.
A
The electrical
system
must comply
with the
regulations and
rating
data
in
the
technical sheet,
with
good grounding.
2.1.1 Size
and specifications
of
the
room in
which to installthe air conditioner
Before
installing the
air conditioner,
it is essential
to make an
accurate calculation of the
heat load
in
summer
(and
cold
load
in
winter
for models
with heating
pump)
at the site
of installation.
The
more accurate
this calculation
is made
the better
the air conditioner
will be able to do its
job.
When executing
the calculations,
refer
directly to the
prevailing
standards
For
particularly
important applications,
we
recommend contacting
expert heating engineers.
The user should
try to
limit high heat
loads as much as
possible
as
follows:
glass
doors and windows
exposed to many
hours
of
sunlight should
be fitted on
the inside
with curtains or,
even better, on the
outside with coverings such
as Venetian blinds,
veran-
dahs,
refractive film, etc.).
The air-conditioned
room
must remain closed
as long as
possible.
Halogen spotlights
or other electrical
equipment
with
high
power
consumption should not be
used in the room
(toasters,
steam
irons, hot
plates
for cooking,
etc.).
2.2 CHOOSING
THE POSITION
OF THE UNIT
The
position
for installing the
unit, to obtain
best
performance
and avoid
breakdowns or hazards,
must have the
following requisites
(fis.
3):
-
The
height of the
unit's lower edge
from the
floor should be
at least
100 mm if fixed to the wall
in the lowest
position.
- lf fixed to the
wall in the
highest
position,
it should
be at least 80
mm from the ceiling.
-
The wall on
which the
inside unit
is installed
must be sturdy and
able to withstand its
weight.
-
lt must
be
possible
to
leave room around
the unit
for any
maintenance operations that
may be necessary.
-
Nothing
should
be in the way of
the air that
needs to circulate
both on the top air-intake
(curtains,
plants,
furniture) and at the
front where the
air exits.
This could cause
air swiris
that would inhibit the
working efficiency of the unit.
[F
The air conditioner
must be installed on
a
wall that communicates
with the outside.
CAUTION:
after determining
the best
place
for installation as
described above, check
for the absence
of other structures
or systems
(beams,
piers,
pipes,
wires, etc.)
at the
points
where the
holes
are
to be drilled,
which would
prevent
drilling
the
holes required
to install the
unit.
Check
again to
make sure there
are
no obstacles
to air circulation
through the holes to
be drilled due to
plants
and their
leaves, slats
or
panelling,
blinds,
gratings
or
grids
too dense,
etc.).
I €
wARNINGS
(fis.4):
-
it should
not be
placed
under
curtains;
do
not spray
water or other
liquids of any
kind directly
on the unit;
it should
not
be installed
in a
position
where the
air flow can directly
strike
people
in the
whereabouts.
never force
the opening
of the airflow
flap;
do not
place
bottles, cans,
clothing,
flowers oranyotherobjectthat
may damagethe
internalorgans
on the airaspiration
grill
or anything
that
may even
partially
obstruct
the
grill
itself;
it
should
not be
directly over
another appliance
(television
set,
radio, refrigerator, etc.), or
over a source
of heat.
2.3 UNIT
ASSEMBLY
2.3.1
Warning
The
maximum
length allowed
for
pipes
is 1 m.
The
pipes
must be
smooth on the inside.
Pipes cannot be
curved or bent.
It
is necessary to
use the
grilles
provided,
or
grilles
which
keep the same
features.
2.3.2
Drilling
the
wall
lnstall the unit
by drilling
two holes
diameter
either
162 mm
in
the
wall as
indicated in the drilling
template.The
UNICO unit
may
be
installed
in lieu of
a UNICO
unit without
changing
the
position
of the existing
holes, with
the exception
of the small
hole for
condensate
drainage,
ln this
case,
in order not
to
penalize performance,
remove the insulating
material
from the air outlet
pipe.
Drill the
wall using
the
proper
tools
to facilitate
your
job
and
prevent
excess damage or
disturbance
to
your
client.
The best
tools
for drilling
large
holes
in walls are
special drills
called
core borers
with very high twisting
torque
and adjustable
rotating speed
depending
on the
diameter of
the hole to
be drilled.
