In caseof construction works (e.g. grinding works) where a lot of dust iscreated, the unit MUST be covered.Choose an installation location with sufficient space for carrying theunit in and out of the site.WARNINGThe appliance shall be stored in a room withoutcontinuously operating ignition sources (example: openflames, an operating gas appliance or an operating electricheater).5.2.1 Installation site requirements of theoutdoor unitINFORMATIONAlso read the following requirements:▪ General installation site requirements. See the"General safety precautions" chapter.▪ Service space requirements. See the "Technical data"chapter.▪ Refrigerant piping requirements (length, heightdifference). See further in this "Preparation" chapter.CAUTIONAppliance not accessible to the general public, install it in asecured area, protected from easy access.This unit, both indoor and outdoor, is suitable forinstallation in a commercial and light industrialenvironment.NOTICEThe equipment described in this manual may causeelectronic noise generated from radio-frequency energy.The equipment complies to specifications that aredesigned to provide reasonable protection against suchinterference. However, there is no guarantee thatinterference will not occur in a particular installation.It is therefore recommended to install the equipment andelectric wires keeping proper distances away from stereoequipment, personal computers, etc.bacdf e(mm)≥1500≥1500≥1000≥1000≥1000≥1000a Earth leakage protectorb Fusec Outdoor unitd Indoor unite User interfacef Personal computer or radio▪ In places with weak reception, keep distances of 3 m or more toavoid electromagnetic disturbance of other equipment and useconduit tubes for power and transmission lines.▪ Select a place where rain can be avoided as much as possible.▪ Take care that in the event of a water leak, water cannot causeany damage to the installation space and surroundings.▪ Choose a location where the hot/cold air discharged from the unitor the operation noise, will NOT disturb anyone.▪ Heat exchanger fins are sharp and injury is possible. Choose aninstallation location where there is no risk for injury (especially inareas where children play).Do NOT install the unit in the following places:▪ Sound sensitive areas (e.g. near a bedroom), so that theoperation noise will cause no trouble.Note: If the sound is measured under actual installationconditions, the measured value might be higher than the soundpressure level mentioned in Sound spectrum in the data book dueto environmental noise and sound reflections.INFORMATIONThe sound pressure level is less than 70 dBA.▪ In places where a mineral oil mist, spray or vapour may bepresent in the atmosphere. Plastic parts may deteriorate and falloff or cause water leakage.It is NOT recommended to install the unit in the following placesbecause it may shorten the life of the unit:▪ Where the voltage fluctuates a lot▪ In vehicles or vessels▪ Where acidic or alkaline vapour is presentSeaside installation. Make sure the outdoor unit is NOT directlyexposed to sea winds. This is to prevent corrosion caused by highlevels of salt in the air, which might shorten the life of the unit.Install the outdoor unit away from direct sea winds.Example: Behind the building.bca
