2.7 ODU Installation 
●  The outdoor unit should be installed on a solid wall 
and fastened securely. 
●  The following procedure must be observed before 
connecting the pipes and connecting cables :   
decide which is the best position on the wall and 
leave enough space to be able to carry out 
maintenance easily. 
●  Fasten the support to the wall using screw anchors 
which are particularly suited to the type of wall; 
●  Use a larger quantity of screw anchors than 
normally required for the weight they have to bear to 
avoid vibration during operation and remain 
fastened in the same position for years without the 
screws becoming loose. 
●  The unit must be installed following the national 
regulations.

Outdoor unit 
Connecting the pipe 
Screw the flare nuts to the outdoor unit coupling  with 
the same tightening procedures described for  the 
indoor unit. 
Note: If the tightening torque is not sufficient, there will 
probably be some leakage. With excessive tightening 
torque there will also be some leakage, as the flange 
could be damaged.
