To ensure the outdoor unit operates correctly, its location must meet
certain conditions.
1. Decide on the ideal location for the outdoor unit, bearing in mind the
space it requires and any legal directives.
2. Observe the IP24 protection rating of the outdoor unit during
installation.
3. Avoid the following locations as the outdoor unit is a source of noise:
Prevailing winds,
Close to sleep zones,
Close to a terrace,
Opposite a wall with windows.
4. Nothing must obstruct the free circulation of air around the outdoor
unit (intake and outlet).
5. Ensure the support meets the following specifications:
Flat surface that can support the weight of the outdoor unit and its
accessories (concrete base, concrete blocks or sill).

No rigid connection to the building served to avoid the transmission
of vibration.
Minimum above ground elevation of 200 mm to keep it above water,
ice and snow.
Base with a metal frame to allow condensates to be discharged
correctly.
Important
The width of the base must not exceed the width of the outdoor
unit.
The condensate discharge must be regularly cleaned in order to
prevent any blockages.
When the outdoor unit is too close to neighbours, a noise abatement
screen can be fitted to reduce noise pollution.
Install this type of equipment in compliance with prevailing legislation and
standards.
