Minimum clearances
Figure 5
shows the minimum
clearances for trouble-free operation
of the units.
The protective zones serve to
provide unhindered air intake and
outlet, as well as providing sufficient
room for performing maintenance
and repairs and preventing the unit
from being damaged.

If the temperature falls below
the dew point, condensation will
form on the finned condenser
during heating mode.
A condensate tray should be
installed on the underside of
the unit to drain any condensate.
■
The condensate drainage line
should have an incline of min.
2%. This is the responsibility
of the customer.
If necessary, fit vapour-
diffusion-proof insulation.
■
When operating the unit at
outdoor temperatures below
4 °C, care must be taken
that the condensate drainage
line is anti-freeze protected.
The lower part of the housing
and condensate tray is also to
be kept frost free in order to
ensure permanent draining of
the condensate.
If necessary, fit a pipe heater.
■
Following installation, check
that the condensate drain is
unobstructed and ensure that
the line is permanently leak
tight.
Safe drainage in the event
of leakages
Local regulations or environmental
laws, for example the German
Water Resource Act (WHG),
can require suitable precautions
to protect against uncontrolled
drainage in case of leakage
to provide for safe disposal
of escaping air conditioning
fluid or hazardous media.

Cumulative ice formation in the
lower part of the finned heated
exchanger can develop under
certain weather conditions.
To prevent this ice formation,
we recommend keeping the
heat exchanger frost free on
both sides using a heating band
for example.
NOTE
Failure to comply
with the minimum
clearances is considered
a breach of intended use.
The manufacturer assumes
no liability for damage or
malfunctions arising from this.
