SELECTION OF INSTALLATION PLACE
WARNING
• Install the air conditioner at enough strong place to withstand the weight of the unit.
If the strength is not enough, the unit may fall down resulting in injury.
• Install the air conditioner at a height 2.5m or more from the floor.
If you insert your hands or others directly into the unit while the air conditioner operates, it is dangerous
because you may contact with revolving fan or active electricity.
CAUTION
• Do not install the air conditioner in a location subject to a risk of exposure to a combustible
gas.
If a combustible gas leaks and stays around the unit, a fire may occur.
Upon approval of the customer, install the air conditioner in a place that satisfies the
following conditions.
• Place where the unit can be installed horizontally.
• Place where a sufficient servicing space can be ensured for safety maintenance and check.
• Place where drained water will not cause any problem.
Avoid installing in the following places.
• Place exposed to air with high salt content (seaside area), or place exposed to large quantities of sulfide gas
(hot spring). (Should the unit be used in these places, special protective measures are needed.)
• Place exposed to oil, vapor, oil smoke or corrosive gas.
• Place where organic solvent is used nearby.
• Place close to a machine generating high frequency.
• Place where the discharged air blows directly into the window of the neighboring house. (For outdoor unit)
• Place where noise of the outdoor unit is easily transmitted.
(When installing the air conditioner on the boundary with the neighbor, pay due attention to the level of noise.)
• Place with poor ventilation. (Before air ducting work, check whether value of air volume, static pressure and
duct resistance are correct.)
Installation space
Secure the space required to installation
and servicing.
Selection of installation place
In case of continued operation of the indoor unit under
high-humidity conditions as described below, dew may
condense and water may drop.
Especially, high-humidity atmosphere (dew point temperature
: 23°C or more) may generate dew inside the ceiling.
1. Unit is installed inside the ceiling with slated roof.
2. Unit is installed at a location using inside of the ceiling
as fresh air take-in path.
3. Kitchen
If installing a unit at such place, adhere insulating material
(glass wool, etc.) additionally over all the positions of the
indoor unit which come to contact with high-humidity
atmosphere.
Advice
Set a check service opening panel at right side of the unit
(size: 450 x 450mm) for piping, maintenance, and servicing.
