Selecting the Best Location for the Outdoor Unit
DANGER
do so will cause serious bodily injury or death.
Before beginning installation, read the safety summary at the beginning of this manual.
WARNING
Do not install the unit in a location where acidic solution and spray (sulfur) are often used as this may cause serious bodily injury or
death.
Do not use the unit in environments where oil, steam, or sulfuric gas are present as this may cause serious bodily injury or
death.
CAUTION
When deciding on a location to place the outdoor unit, be sure to choose an area where run-off from defrost will not accumulate and freeze
on sidewalks or driveways which may create unsafe conditions.
Select a location for installing the outdoor unit that will meet the following general conditions:
• A location strong enough to bear the weight of the outdoor unit.
• A location that allows for optimum air flow and is easily accessible for inspection, maintenance, and service.
• Where piping between the outdoor unit, indoor unit(s), and BD units (Multi F MAX systems only) are within allowable limits.
• Include space for drainage to ensure condensate flows properly out of the unit when it is in heating mode. Avoid placing the outdoor unit in
a low-lying area where water could accumulate.
•
or steam like discharge from boiler stacks, chimneys, steam relief ports, other air conditioning units, kitchen vents, plumbing vents, and
• Where high-frequency electrical noise / electromagnetic waves will not affect operation.
• Where operating sound from the unit will not disturb inhabitants of surrounding buildings.
•
Oceanside Installation
Precautions
• Avoid installing the outdoor unit where it
would be directly exposed to ocean winds.
• Install the outdoor unit on the side of the
building opposite from direct ocean winds.
• Select a location with good drainage.
• Periodically clean dust or salt particles off of
the heat exchanger with water.
Additional anti-corrosion treatment may need
to be applied to the outdoor unit at oceanside
locations.
GENERAL INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
If the outdoor unit must be placed in a
location where it would be subjected to
direct ocean winds, install a concrete
windbreaker strong enough to block
any winds. Windbreaker height and
width should be more than 150% of the
outdoor unit, and be installed at least
27-1/2 inches away from the outdoor unit
to allow for airflow.
Due to our policy of continuous product innovation, some specifications may change without notification.
