2.4. Location

The AU12 aerothermal units must be installed outdoors. Therefore, they are equipped with a corrosion resistant finish and the
electrical panel is covered entirely by a watertight cover. Follow the recommendations below to choose the proper location:

Choose a well-ventilated place to facilitate air circulation. If the unit is installed in poorly ventilated places, such as
corners, small open spaces or between walls, the exhaust air may be recirculated as intake air, drastically reducing heat
pump efficiency.

Do not attempt to guide the air that enters or exits the AU12 unit. The unit must be installed outdoors without any type
of piping and respecting the minimum distances specified in Figures 2.3 and 2.4.

Choose a place where there is no risk that the air suction system will be obstructed by foliage, snow, etc.

Do not install the unit in a place where the wind blows directly on the fan area. This can affect the performance of the
unit.

Note that when the unit fan is operating it can produce annoying noises both in the home and in the home of neighbours.
Do not install the unit near windows of bedrooms and at least 3 metres from pathways.

The final location must be accessible for maintenance tasks.
