Location
The choice of location is particularly important, as subsequent movement is a complex
operation that must be performed by a qualified person.
Discuss with the customer before deciding on a location.
•
Install the outside unit in a location that can support its weight and which does not
transmit vibrations.
•
Install the outside unit horizontally.
•
Be sure to provide the indicated amount of space to ensure correct air circulation.
The air outlet and inlet must never be blocked.
•
During operation in heating mode, condensate will flow out of the outside unit. Take
all measures required to facilitate unimpeded drainage without causing any property
damage.
•
Install the outside unit in a location where neighbours will not be disturbed by the air
flow, noise or vibrations. If the outside unit needs to be installed close to neighbours,
obtain their permission before installing.
•
Check that connections to the tank can be made easily.
•
Take into account servicing and maintenance when choosing a location. Leave suffi-
cient space to allow easy access to the outside unit.
•
Do not install the unit in a location exposed to direct sunlight.
•
Do not install the unit near to a source of heat, vapour or flammable gas.
•
Do not install the unit facing into the wind, or a location exposed to strong winds or
dust.
•
Do not install the unit in a thoroughfare.
•
Do not install the outside unit in a location where it could be exposed to dirt or signif-
icant amounts of water (e.g. under a faulty gutter).
