Setup locations for the outdoor unit
The unit must be set up on a surface that is level,
smooth and solid. The unit must also be secured
against tipping over.
The outdoor unit can either be set up outside or inside a
building. If it is set up outside, follow these instructions
to protect the unit from weather conditions.
This prevents dirt and rust caused by splashing rain.
A base console can be purchased as an accessory.
Rain:
If the unit is set up on the ground or a roof, there
must be at least 10 cm (measurement X in the illus-
tration below) between it and the surface.
Sun:
The plate fin heat-exchanger (condenser) on the out-
door unit is a heat-emitting component.
Direct sunlight also increases the temperature of the
plate fins and reduces the amount of heat expelled by
the plate fins exchanger.
If possible, the outdoor unit should be installed on the
north side of the respective building.
A small structure should be set up to provide shade for
the unit and protect it from the sun if necessary. How-
ever, it must not be allowed to interfere with the flow of
hot air being released from the unit.
Wind:
If the unit is operated primarily in windy areas, make
sure that the hot air current being released from the unit
is flowing in the primary wind direction.
If this is not possible, you should provide protection from
the wind. Make sure that the wind protection does not ad-
versely affect the flow of air to the unit.

Snow:
The unit should be installed on the wall in areas with
heavy snowfall.
The unit should be installed at least 20 cm above the
expected snow level to prevent snow from entering the
outdoor unit.
A wall console can be purchased as an accessory.
Make sure that air can be freely supplied from the
outside, if possible through air openings opposite the
unit that are sufficiently large.
Ensure that there is adequate soundproofing to pre-
vent excessive noise in residences.
Never block or shut the intake grille.
Observe the static and other structural engineering
regulations and requirements for the building.
Do not set up the unit in areas with lots of dust or
aggressive air.

Setup inside buildings:
If the outdoor unit is set up inside a building, observe
the following:
If the outdoor unit is set up in a basement, an attic,
in adjoining rooms or halls, make sure that the warm
air can be adequately released.
Install an additional fan that has the same circulating
air volume as the outdoor unit set up in the room
which can potentially compensate for additional
pressure losses through air channels.
