Selection of the installation
location
Indoor unit
The indoor unit is designed for
horizontal wall installation above
doors. However, it can also be
used on the upper wall area
(min. 1.75 m from upper edge of
floor).
Outdoor component
The outdoor component is
designed for horizontal base
installation outdoors. It should
be placed on level, flat and firm
ground. The unit should also
be secured to prevent toppling.
The outdoor component can be
set up outside as well as inside a
building. For external installation,
please observe the following notes
to protect the unit from weather
conditions.
Wall openings
■ A wall opening of at least 70
mm diameter and 10 mm slope
from the inside to the outside
must be made for each indoor
unit
■ We recommend that the
inside of the hole is padded or
lined, e.g. using a PVC tube,
to prevent the pipes being
damaged.
■ After installation, the wall
opening should be closed off on
the building side with a suitable
sealant. Do not use substances
containing cement or lime!
Installation material
The indoor unit is fastened using a
wall bracket and 4 threaded screws
(provided by the customer).
The outdoor component is
attached with 4 screws via a wall
bracket on the wall or a floor
bracket on the ground.

The unit should be at least 10 cm
off the ground when mounted on
the roof or ground. A floor bracket
is optionally available.
Sun
The liquefier on the outdoor
component radiates heat.
Exposure to direct sunlight will
further increase the temperature
of the fins and reduce the
heat output of the finned
heat exchanger. The outdoor
component should therefore be
installed as near as possible to
the north side of the building.
If necessary, take measures
to provide sufficient shade
(responsibility of customer). One
possible solution is to build a small
roof. These measures should not
affect the flow of warm outlet air.
Wind
If the unit is being installed in
windy areas, ensure that the
warm outlet air discharges in the
main wind direction. If this is not
the case it may be necessary to
install a windbreak (provided by
the customer). Ensure that the
windbreak does not adversely
affect the air intake to the unit.
Snow
The unit should be wall-mounted
in areas of heavy snowfall.
Installation should be at least
20 cm above the expected level
of snow to prevent snow from
entering the outdoor component.
An optional wall bracket is
available as an accessory.
