If the coating on the fastening area isstripped off, the nuts rust easily.a6.3.4 To install the outdoor unit4× M126.3.5 To provide drainage▪ Make sure that condensation water can be evacuated properly.▪ Install the unit on a base to make sure that there is a properdrainage in order to avoid ice accumulation.▪ Prepare a water drainage channel around the foundation to drainwaste water surrounding the unit.▪ Avoid drain water flowing over the footpath, so that it does notbecome slippery in case of ambient freezing temperatures.▪ If you install the unit on a frame, install a waterproof plate within150 mm of the underside of the unit in order to prevent theinvasion of water in the unit and to avoid the drain water dripping(see the following illustration).INFORMATIONIf necessary, you can use a drain plug kit (field supply) toprevent drain water from dripping.NOTICEIf drain holes of the outdoor unit are covered by a mountingbase or by floor surface, raise the unit to provide a freespace of more than 150 mm under the outdoor unit.≥150 mmDrain holes (dimensions in mm)ABBCDE160 1606203661262416595285279260161(345~355)A Discharge sideB Distance between anchor pointsC Bottom frameD Drain holesE Knockout hole for snowSnowIn regions with snowfall, snow might build up and freeze between theheat exchanger and the external plate. This might decrease theoperating efficiency. To prevent this:1 Drill (a, 4×) and remove the knockout hole (b).ba b4× Ø6 mm2 Remove the burrs, and paint the edges and areas around theedges using repair paint to prevent rusting.6.3.6 To prevent the outdoor unit from fallingoverIn case the unit is installed in places where strong wind can tilt theunit, take following measure:Connect cables (field supply) as shown:4×6.4 Connecting the refrigerant piping6.4.1 About connecting the refrigerant pipingBefore connecting the refrigerant pipingMake sure the outdoor and indoor unit are mounted.Typical workflowConnecting the refrigerant piping involves:▪ Connecting the refrigerant piping to the outdoor unit▪ Connecting the refrigerant piping to the indoor unit▪ Installing oil traps▪ Insulating the refrigerant piping
