2-2. 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.
● 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 ventilation. Otherwise the unit may not operate
properly. Fig. 2-7 shows the minimum space require-
ment 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 drainage.
Make provisions for anchor bolts, platform height, and
other site-specific installation requirements.
CAUTION
● Leave space open above
the unit.
● Construct louvers or other
openings in the wall, if
necessary, to ensure ade-
quate ventilation.
NOTE
Do not do any wiring or tubing within 30 cm of the
front panel, because it is needed as a servicing space
for the compressor.
