REMKO BL 261 - Manual (Page 17)

Selection of installation location
Indoor unit
The indoor unit is designed for
horizontal wall installation above
doors. However, it can also be
used in the upper wall area
(min. 1.75 m above the floor).
The indoor unit is not suitable for
installation on roof inclines.
Outdoor component
The outdoor component is
designed for horizontal installation
on a base in outdoor areas.
The installation site must be level,
flat and firm. 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 the
influence of the weather.
Rain
For attic or roof set up, the unit
should be installed with at least
10 cm ground clearance. A floor
bracket is available as an optional
accessory.
Sun
The condenser on the outdoor
component emits 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 be installed on
to the north side of the building
whenever possible. 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.
Wall openings
■ A wall opening of at least
70 mm diameter and 10 mm
incline from the inside to the
outside must be made for each
indoor unit.
■ We recommend that the inside
of the opening is padded or
lined, e.g. using a PVC pipe,
to prevent the lines being
damaged.
■ After installation, the wall
opening should be closed off
with a suitable sealant. Do not
use materials containing cement
or lime!
Installation materials
The indoor unit is attached to
the wall by a wall bracket and
4 screws (to be provided by the
customer).
The outdoor component is
attached by 4 screws and a wall
bracket to the wall or fixed by
a floor bracket to the ground.

Wind
If the unit is being installed in
windy areas, ensure that the
warm outlet air discharges in the
prevailing wind direction. If this
is not the possible, it may be
necessary to install a windbreak
(to be 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 then 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.
