Sun
The finned condenser gives off heat in cooling
mode.
Exposure to sunlight further increases the temper-
ature of the fins and reduces the heat released by
the finned heat exchanger.
The unit should, whenever possible, be installed
on the north side of the building.
If necessary, take measures to provide sufficient
shade (responsibility of customer).
This could be a small roof.
However, the discharging warm air flow must not
be affected by the measures
Wind
If the unit is being installed in windy areas, ensure
that the warm outlet air is discharged in the pre-
vailing wind direction. If this is not the possible, it
may be necessary to install a windbreak (to be pro-
vided 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 be at least 20 cm
above the expected level of snow to prevent snow
from entering the outdoor unit.
