4 English• In areas where the outside air temperature drops below 32°F (0°C)for more than 12 hours continuously, install a drain-pan heater(optional accessory) on the bottom frame to prevent the drain fromfreezing.• An optional drain pan heater is available when the unit is installedin a climate where the drain may freeze.• The installer should use their local knowledge to determine if thisaccessory is necessary to prevent the drain from freezing.• Do not use a concentrated drain plug (field supply).(If a drain plug and/or drain pipe are/is used, there is a risk of freez-ing.)• If there is a problem with drain dripping from the bottom framedrain, set up a roof (field supply) below the outdoor unit, or enactother countermeasures.• Remove the rear inlet grille to prevent snow from accumulating onthe rear fins.(4) When there is possibility of short-circuit depending on the ambientsituation, use the wind direction adjusting plate (optional acces-sory).(5) The refrigerant gas (R410A) is a safe, non-toxic and non-flammablegas, but if it leaks into the room, the concentration may exceed tol-erance levels, especially in small rooms, so steps need to be takento prevent refrigerant leakage. See the equipment design referencefor details.(6) Inverter-type air conditioners sometimes cause static in other elec-trical appliances.When selecting an installation location, make sure the air condi-tioner and all wiring are sufficiently far away from radios, computers,stereos, and other appliances, as shown in figure 4.Particularly for locations with weak reception, ensure there is a dis-tance of at least 9.8 ft. (3 m) for indoor remote controllers, placepower supply wiring and transmission wiring in conduits, andground the conduits. Use non-shielded wire for transmission wiring.(Refer to figure 4)1.

Personal computer or radio(7) Space needed for installation<Precautions when installing units in series>• The direction for field piping is either forward or down when install-ing units in series, as shown in the figure (5~10).• If the piping is brought out from the back, the outdoor unit willrequire at least 10 in. (250 mm) from its right side.(7)-1 IN CASE OBSTACLES EXIST ONLY IN FRONT OF THE AIRINLETWhen nothing is obstructing the top1.
