B. LOCATION OF OUTDOOR CONDENSING UNIT
The primary consideration in selecting the location of the outdoor-condensing unit is how the location
affects the length of the refrigerant tubing lines. Bear in mind, that the longer the tubing line, the greater the
pressures drop causing a reduction in the cooling capacity of the unit.
Another consideration in the location selection is the sun load placed on the outdoor condensing unit.
Locations, which place the unit in direct exposure to the sun during the majority of a day, should be avoided
if possible. Inside corners on the southeast or southwest corners are to be avoided as the heat build-up in
such corners would place an increased workload on the unit. Shaded locations on the north side of a home or
office are generally best if practical.
Mount the unit on a sturdy base at least one inch above the ground. Be sure to use well-tamped gravel fill
beneath the blocks or bricks to prevent settling if concrete blocks or bricks are used. Use a minimum 4"x4"
"treated" timbers plus gravel fill to prevent settling if timbers are used.
:A premature compressor failure may result and will "VOID THE WARRANTY" if the
outdoor condensing unit is located in an enclosure such as a garage or not in accordance with these
instructions.
Please refer to the Peace of Mind Warranty Certificate included with this product for warranty
information.
All models feature an “up-flow” airflow design discharged through the top grill. For this reason, the outdoor
condensing unit should not be located under an overhang or any other construction, which would direct the
discharged air back to the outdoor condensing unit. The unit should be located as illustrated below.
