3-7. Installation
Installation place
CAUTION
• Check that the air conditioner is not installed in a place subject to combustible gas leak.
Accumulation of combustible gas around the unit may cause a fire.
• Drain the dehumidified water from the indoor unit and outdoor unit to a well-drained place.
• Do not put any obstacle near the air inlets and air outlet of the outdoor unit.
Doing so may hinder the radiation, which may reduce the performance or activate the protective device.
Electrical wiring
WARNING
• Be sure to connect earth wire. (grounding work) Incomplete grounding cause an electric shock.
Do not connect ground wires to gas pipes, water pipes, lightning rods or ground wires for telephone wires.
CAUTION
• Make sure that a leakage breaker is connected.
Using the air conditioner without leakage breaker may cause electric shock.
• Use a leakage breaker with an appropriate capacity.
Be sure to use the rated voltage and an exclusive circuit for power supply of the air conditioner.
Do not install the air conditioner in the following places
• Do not install the air conditioner in any place within 1 m from a TV, stereo, or radio set.
If the unit is installed in such place, noise transmitted from the air conditioner affects the operation of these appliances.
• Do not install the air conditioner near a high frequency appliance (sewing machine or massager for business use, etc.),
otherwise the air conditioner may malfunction.
• Do not install the air conditioner in a humid or oily place, or in a place where steam, soot, or corrosive gas is generated.
• Do not install the air conditioner in a salty place such as seaside area.
• Do not install the air conditioner in a place where a great deal of machine oil is used.
• Do not install the air conditioner in a place where it is usually exposed to strong wind such as in seaside area.
• Do not install the air conditioner in a place where sulfureous gas generated such as in a spa.
• Do not install the air conditioner in a vessel or mobile crane.
• Do not install the air conditioner in an acidic or alkaline atmosphere
(in a hot-spring area or near a chemicals factory, or in a place subject to combustion emissions).
Corrosion may be generated on the aluminum fin and copper pipe of the heat exchanger.
• Do not install the air conditioner near an obstacle (air vent, lighting equipment, etc.) that disturbs discharge air.
(Turbulent airflow may reduce the performance or disable devices.)
• Do not use the air conditioner for special purposes such as preserving food, precision instruments, or art objects,
or where breeding animals or growing plants are kept. (This may degrade the quality of preserved materials.)
• Do not install the air conditioner over an object that must not get wet.
(Condensation may drop from the indoor unit at a humidity of 80% or more or when the drain port is clogged.)
• Do not install the air conditioner in a place where an organic solvent is used.
• Do not install the air conditioner near a door or window subject to humid outside air.
Condensation may form on the air conditioner.
• Do not install the air conditioner in a place where special spray is used frequently.
Be careful with noise or vibrations
• Do not install the air conditioner in a place where noise by outdoor unit or hot air from its air outlet annoys your neighbors.
• Install the air conditioner on a solid and stable foundation so that it prevents transmission of resonating, operation
noise and vibration.
• If one indoor unit is operating, some sound may be audible from other indoor units that are not operating.
