To avoid injury, do not touch the air inlet or aluminium fins
of the unit.

ELECTING INSTALLATION SITE
Make sure to provide for adequate measures in order
to prevent that the outdoor unit be used as a shelter
by small animals.
Small animals making contact with electrical parts can
cause malfunctions, smoke or fire. Please instruct the
customer to keep the area around the unit clean.
1 Select an installation site where the following conditions are
satisfied and that meets with your customer's approval.
- Places which are well-ventilated.
- Places where the unit does not bother next-door neighbours.
- Safe places which can withstand the unit's weight and
vibration and where the unit can be installed level.
- Places where there is no possibility of flammable gas or
product leak.
- Places where servicing space can be well ensured.
- Places where the indoor and outdoor units' piping and wiring
lengths come within the allowable ranges.
- Places where water leaking from the unit cannot cause
damage to the location (e.g. in case of a blocked drain pipe).
- Places where the rain can be avoided as much as possible.
2 When installing the unit in a place exposed to strong wind, pay
special attention to the following.
Strong winds of 5 m/sec or more blowing against the outdoor
unit's air outlet causes short circuit (suction of discharge air),
and this may have the following consequences:
- Deterioration of the operational capacity.
- Frequent frost acceleration in heating operation.
- Disruption of operation due to rise of high pressure.
- When a strong wind blows continuously on the face of the
unit, the fan can start rotating very fast until it breaks.
Refer to the figures for installation of this unit in a place where
the wind direction can be foreseen.

3 Prepare a water drainage channel around the foundation, to
drain waste water from around the unit.
4 If the water drainage of the unit is not easy, please build up the
unit on a foundation of concrete blocks, etc. (the height of the
foundation should be maximum 150 mm).
5 If you install the unit on a frame, please install a waterproof plate
within 150 mm of the underside of the unit in order to prevent the
invasion of water from the lower direction.
6 When installing the unit in a place frequently exposed to snow,
pay special attention to elevate the foundation as high as
possible.
7 If you install the unit on a building frame,
please install a waterproof plate (field
supply)(within 150 mm of the underside of
the unit) or use a drain kit (refer to
combination table in "Possible options" on
page 3) in order to avoid the drainwater
dripping. (See figure).

Selecting a location in cold climates

Refer to "Model" on page 2.
CAUTION
When operating the outdoor unit in a low outdoor ambient
temperature, be sure to follow the instructions described
below.
To prevent exposure to wind, install the outdoor unit with its
suction side facing the wall.
Never install the outdoor 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 outdoor unit.
