Selecting A Location In Cold Climates; Refrigerant Piping Specifications; Installing Near A Wall Or Obstacle - Rotex RRHQ006BAV3 Manuel D'installation

6 When installing the unit in a place frequently exposed to snow,
pay special attention to elevate the foundation as high as
possible.
7 If you install the unit on a building frame,
please install a waterproof plate (field
supply) (within 150 mm of the underside of
the unit) or use a drain kit (refer to
combination table in "Possible options" on
page 3) in order to avoid the drainwater
dripping. (See figure).
NOTE Units cannot be installed hanging from ceiling or
stacked.

Selecting a location in cold climates

CAUTION
When operating the outdoor unit in a low outdoor ambient
temperature, be sure to follow the instructions described
below.
To prevent exposure to wind, install the outdoor unit with its
suction side facing the wall.
Never install the outdoor unit at a site where the suction side
may be exposed directly to wind.
To prevent exposure to wind, install a baffle plate on the air
discharge side of the outdoor unit.
In heavy snowfall areas it is very important to select an
installation site where the snow will not affect the unit. If lateral
snowfall is possible, make sure that the heat exchanger coil is
not affected by the snow (if necessary construct a lateral
canopy).
Construct a large canopy.
Construct a pedestal.
Install the unit high enough off the ground
to prevent burying in snow.
Refrigerant piping specifications
CAUTION
Piping and other pressure containing parts shall
comply with the applicable national and international
regulations and shall be suitable for refrigerant. Use
phosphoric acid deoxidised seamless copper for
refrigerant.
Installation shall be done by a licensed refrigerant
technician, the choice of materials and installation
shall comply with
regulations. In Europe the EN378 is the application
standard that shall be used.
To persons in charge of piping work:
Be sure to open the stop valve after piping installing
and vacuming is complete. (Running the system with
the valve closed may break the compressor.)
It is forbidden to discharge refrigerant into the
atmosphere. Collect the refrigerant in accordance with
the freon collection and destruction law.
