3.1.2 Selection of Installation Location
WARNING
!
(1) If the outdoor unit will be exposed in strong wind, it must be securely located,
otherwise it may fall down.
(2) Install the air conditioner at a place where the inclination is less than 5°.
(3) Do not install the unit at a place with direct sunlight.
(4) Do not install the unit at a place with leakage of inflammable gas.
Selection of Installation Location for Indoor Unit (Select a location
pursuant to the following condition).
(1) Air inlet and outlet of the indoor unit should be away from obstacles to
make sure the unit’s air flow can reach the entire room. Do not install the
unit in a kitchen or a laundry.
(2) Install the unit in a room without naked flame, fire source or the risk of
getting the refrigerant on fire.
(3) Select a location that can withstand 4 times the unit weight without
increasing operating noise and vibration.
(4) The installation location must be level.
(5) The indoor piping length and wiring length should be within the allowable
range.
(6) Select a place that can easily drain condensate and connect to the drain
system of the air conditioner.
(7) If hoisting screw bolts are to be used, check whether the installation
location is safe enough. If not safe, reinforce the location before
installation.
(8) Indoor unit, power cord, connecting wires and communication cords
should be at least 1m from television and radio. This is to prevent image
interference or noise (Even at a distance of 1m, a very strong electric
wave may still generate noise).

DC Inverter U-match Series Duct Type Unit
11
Selection of Installation Location for Outdoor Unit (Select a location
pursuant to the following condition).
(1) Noise and air flow produced by the outdoor unit will not disturb the
neighbors.
(2) Select a location that is safe and away from animals and plants. If not,
please add safety fences to protect the unit.
(3) Install at a place with good ventilation. Make sure the outdoor unit stays at
a well-ventilated place with no obstacles nearby that may obstruct the air
inlet and outlet.
(4) The installation location should be able to withstand the weight and
vibration of outdoor unit and allow the installation to be carried out safely.
(5) Avoid installing at a place with leakage of inflammable gas, oil smoke or
corrosive gas.
(6) Keep it away from strong wind because strong wind will affect the outdoor
fan and lead to insufficient air flow volume and thus affecting the unit’s
performance.
(7) Install the outdoor unit at a place that is convenient for it to be connected
to the indoor unit.
(8) Away from any object that may get the air conditioner generating noise.
(9) Install the outdoor unit at a place where condensate can be easily
drained.
3.1.3 Unit Dimension
WARNING
!
(1) Install the indoor unit in a location which can withstand a load of at least five
times the weight of the main unit and which will not amplify sound or vibration.
(2) If the installation location is not strong enough, the indoor unit may fall and
cause injuries.
(3) If the job is done with the panel frame only, there is a risk that the unit will come
loose. Please take care.
