5. OUTDOOR UNIT INSTALLATION

5.1 Outdoor Unit Installation Instructions

Step 1: Select installation location.
The outdoor unit should be installed in the
location that meets the following
requirements:
Place the outdoor unit as close to the
√
indoor unit as possible.
Ensure that there is enough room for
installation and maintenance.
The air inlet and outlet must not be
obstructed or exposed to strong wind.
Ensure the location of the unit will not be
subject to snowdrifts, accumulation of
leaves or other seasonal debris. If
possible, provide an awning for the unit.
Ensure the awning does not obstruct
airflow.
The installation area must be dry and
well ventilated.
There must be enough room to install
the connecting pipes and cables and to
access them for maintenance.

Strong wind
The area must be free of combustible
gases and chemicals.
The pipe length between the outdoor
and indoor unit may not exceed the
maximum allowable pipe length.
If possible, DO NOT install the unit
where it is exposed to direct sunlight.
If possible, make sure the unit is located
far away from your neighbors' property
so that the noise from the unit will not
disturb them.
If the location is exposed to strong winds
(for example: near a seaside), the unit
must be placed against the wall to
shelter it from the wind. If necessary, use
an awning. (See Fig. 5.1 & 5.2)
Install the indoor and outdoor units,
cables and wires at least 1 meter from
televisions or radios to prevent static or
image distortion. Depending on the radio
waves, a 1 meter distance may not be
enough to eliminate all interference.
