6.3 Installation foundation
6.3.1 Base structure
Outdoor unit base structure design should take account of the
following considerations:
1) A solid base prevents excess vibration and noise. Outdoor unit
bases should be constructed on solid ground or on structures of
sufcientstrengthtosupporttheunits’weight.
2) Bases should be at least 200mm high to provide sufficient
access for installation of piping.Snow protection should also be
considered for the base height.
3) Either steel or concrete bases may be suitable.
4) A typical concrete base design is shown in Fig. 6-5. A typical
concretespecicationis1partcement,2partssandand4parts
crushed stone with steel reinforcing bar. The edges of the base
should be chamfered.
5) To ensure that all contact points are equally secure, bases
should be completely level. Base design should ensure that the
pointsonthe units’basesdesignedforweight-bearingsupport
are fully supported.

6.3.2 Location drawing of installation foundation
of the unit: (unit: mm)
1) If the unit is located so high that it is inconvenient for
maintenance personnel to conduct maintenance, the suitable
scaffold can be provided around the unit.
2) The scaffold must be able to bear the weight of maintenance
personnel and maintenance facilities.
3) The bottom frame of the unit is not allowed to be embedded
into the concrete of installation foundation.
4) A drainage ditch should be provided to allow drainage of
condensate that may form on the heat exchangers when the
units are running in heating mode. The drainage should ensure
that condensate is directed away from roadways and footpaths,
especially in locations where the climate is such that condensate
may freeze.

6.4 Installation of damping devices
6.4.1 Damping devices must be provided
between the unit and its foundation.
BymeansoftheΦ15mmdiameterinstallationholeson
the steel frame of the unit base, the unit can be fastened
on the foundation through the spring damper. See Fig.6-
6,6-7 (Schematic diagram of installation dimension of the
unit) for details about center distance of the installation
holes. The damper does not go with the unit, and the
user can select the damper according to the relevant
requirements. When the unit is installed on the high roof or
the area sensitive to vibration, please consult the relevant
persons before selecting the damper.
6.4.2 Installation steps of the damper
Step 1. Make sure that the flatness of the concrete
foundation is within ±3mm, and then place the unit on the
cushion block.
Step 2. Raise the unit to the height suitable for installation
of the damping device.
Step 3. Remove the clamp nuts of the damper. Place the
unitonthedamper,andalignthexingboltholesofthe
damperwiththexingholesontheunitbase.
Step4.Returntheclampnutsofthedampertothexing
holes on the unit base, and tighten them into the damper.
Step 5. Adjust the operational height of the damper base,
and screw down the leveling bolts. Tighten the bolts by
one circle to ensure equal height adjustment variance of
the damper.
Step 6. The lock bolts can be tightened after the correct
operational height is reached.
