Location selection
Before starting the installation, find and select a suitable location for both the indoor and outdoor unit
using the guidelines listed previously. Observe all limitations and clearance requirements. The outdoor
unit must have sufficient clearance for air entrance to the condenser coil, for air discharge, and for
service access.
Note: For multiple unit installations, units must be spaced a minimum of 18 inches apart. (Coil face
to coil face.) If the unit is to be installed on a roof or a black-topped ground area where it will be
exposed to the heat of the sun, the unit should be raised sufficiently above the roof or ground to
avoid the unit from taking in the accumulated heat of those surfaces. Provide adequate structural
support.
Service space for outdoor unit
Install the Unit
The unit may be installed at ground level on a solid base that will not shift or settle, as unnecessary
movement could cause strain on the refrigerant lines and possible leaks to occur. Maintain the
clearances shown in Fig.9-2 and install the unit in a level position. Normal operating sound levels
may be undesirable if the unit is placed directly under windows of certain rooms (bedrooms, study,
etc.). The top of unit discharge area must be unrestricted for a minimum 6 feet above the unit.
