Outdoor Unit Installation
Outdoor Unit Installation Instructions
Step 1: Select Installation Location.
The outdoor unit should be installed in a
location that meets the following requirements:
The location is as close to the indoor unit as
√
possible.
Ensure that there is enough room for
√
installation and maintenance.
The air inlet and outlet are not
√
obstructed, or exposed to strong wind.
The location of the unit will not be
√
subject to snowdrifts, accumulation of leaves,
or other seasonal debris. If possible, provide
an awning for the unit. Ensure the awning
does not obstruct airflow.
The installation area is dry and well
√
ventilated.
There must be enough room to install the
√
connecting pipes and cables, and to access
them for maintenance.

The area must be free of combustible gases
√
and chemicals.
The pipe length between the outdoor and
√
indoor unit may not exceed the maximum
allowable pipe length.
If possible, DO NOT install the unit where it
√
will be exposed to direct sunshine.
√
If possible, make sure the unit is located far
away from the property of neighbors, so that
the unit noise will not cause disturbances.
If the location is exposed to strong winds (for
√
example: near a seaside), the unit must be
placed against the wall to shelter it from the
wind. If necessary, use an awning.
(See Fig. 5.1 & 5.2)
√
Install the indoor and outdoor units, cables,
and wires at least 1 meter from televisions or
radios, to prevent static or image distortion.
Depending on the radio waves, a 1 meter
distance may not be enough to eliminate all
interference.
