2-3. Baffle Plate for the Outdoor Unit
(Low Ambient Cooling models only)
It is recommended to use baffle plates for models
CU-KS12NK1A and CU-KS18NKUA. The baffle plates
are not normally required for the other models.
When the outdoor unit is installed in a position exposed
to strong wind (such as seasonal winds with low air tem-
perature in winter), baffle plates must be installed on the
outdoor unit. (Fig. 5c)
This unit is designed so that the fan of the outdoor unit
runs at low speed when the air conditioner is operated at
low outdoor air temperatures. When the outdoor unit is
exposed to strong wind, the system pressure drops
because of the freeze protector.
Install a pair of windbaffle plates at the front and back of
the outdoor unit if it will be subject to strong wind during
the winter. (Figs. 5c to 5k)
