Installation of Outdoor Unit
Installation at Seaside
Seasonal wind and cautions in winter
1. Air conditioners should not be installed in areas where corrosive gases, such as acid or alkaline gas, are produced.
2. Do not install the product where it could be exposed to sea wind (salty wind) directly. It can result corrosion
on the product. Corrosion, particularly on the condenser and evaporator fins, could cause product malfunc-
tion or inefficient performance.
3. If outdoor unit is installed close to the seaside, it should avoid direct exposure to the sea wind. Otherwise it
needs additional anticorrosion treatment on the heat exchanger.
Periodic ( more than once/year ) cleaning of the dust or salt particles stuck on the heat exchanger by using water
Selecting the location(Outdoor Unit)
1) If the outdoor unit is to be installed close to the seaside, direct exposure to the sea wind should be avoided.
Install the outdoor unit on the opposite side of the sea wind direction.
2) In case, to install the outdoor unit on the seaside, set up a windbreak not to be exposed to the sea wind.
3) Select a well-drained place.
• It should be strong enough like concrete to prevent
the sea wind from the sea.
• The height and width should be more than 150% of
the outdoor unit.
• It should be keep more than 700 mm of space
between outdoor unit and the windbreak for easy
air flow.

• Sufficient measures are required in a snow area or severe cold area in winter so that product can be operated well.
• Get ready for seasonal wind or snow in winter even in other areas.
• Install a suction and discharge duct not to let in snow or rain.
• Install the outdoor unit not to come in contact with snow directly. If snow piles up and freezes on the air suction hole,
the system may malfunction. If it is installed at snowy area, attach the hood to the system.
• Install the outdoor unit at the higher installation console by 500 mm than the average snowfall (annual average snowfall)
if it is installed at the area with much snowfall.
• Where snow accumulated on the upper part of the Outdoor Unit by more than 100 mm, always remove snow for operation.
1. The height of H frame must be more than 2 times the snowfall and its width shall not exceed the width of the
product. (If width of the frame is wider than that of the product, snow may accumulate)
2. Don't install the suction hole and discharge hole of the Outdoor Unit facing the seasonal wind.
