CAUTION
4-2. Outdoor Unit
AVOID:
Heat sources, exhaust fans, etc.
Damp, humid or uneven locations
Indoors (no-ventilation location)
DO:
Choose a place as cool as possible.
Choose a place that is well ventilated.
Select a location where tubing and drain pipe have the
shortest run to the outdoor unit.
Allow enough room around the unit for air intake/exhaust
and possible maintenance.
Installation Space
Install the outdoor unit where there is enough space for ven-
tilation. Otherwise the unit may not operate properly. Fig. 4-9
shows the minimum space requirement around the outdoor
units when 3 sides are open and only 1 side is shuttered, with
open space above the unit. The mounting base should be
concrete or a similar material that allows for adequate drain-
age. Make provisions for anchor bolts, platform height, and
other site-specifi c installation requirements.
Leave space open above the
unit.
Construct louvers or other
openings in the wall, if neces-
sary, to ensure adequate venti-
lation.
NOTE
Do not do any wiring or tubing within 30 cm of the front
panel, because this space is needed as a servicing space
for the compressor.
Ensure a base height of 100 mm or more to ensure that
drainage water does not accumulate and freeze around
the bottom of the unit.
If installing a drain pan, install the drain pan prior to install-
ing the outdoor unit.
* Make sure there is at least 150 mm between the outdoor
unit and the ground.
Also, the direction of the tubing and electrical wiring
should be from the front of the outdoor unit.

The distance between the indoor unit and any obstruc-
tions should be as shown in the fi gure below.
If installing in a highly humid location, give consideration
to preventing condensation on the main unit.
