▪ Air flow directions. You can select different air flow directions.
Choose the one best suited for the room. Also make sure the "Air
flow direction" field setting corresponds with the actual situation
(see "7.1Field settings"on page16).
Example:
a All-round air flow
b 4-way air flow (with closed corners) (optional blocking pad
kit required)
c 3-way air flow (optional blocking pad kit required)
▪ Ceiling insulation. When conditions in the ceiling exceed 30°C
and a relative humidity of 80%, or when fresh air is inducted into
the ceiling, then additional insulation is required (minimum 10mm
thickness, polyethylene foam).

WARNING
▪ If the power supply has a missing or wrong N-phase,
equipment might break down.
▪ Establish proper earthing. Do NOT earth the unit to a
utility pipe, surge absorber, or telephone earth.
Incomplete earthing may cause electrical shock.
▪ Install the required fuses or circuit breakers.
▪ Secure the electrical wiring with cable ties so that the
cables do NOT come in contact with sharp edges or
piping, particularly on the high-pressure side.
▪ Do NOT use taped wires, stranded conductor wires,
extension cords, or connections from a star system.
They can cause overheating, electrical shock or fire.
▪ Do NOT install a phase advancing capacitor, because
this unit is equipped with an inverter. A phase
advancing capacitor will reduce performance and may
cause accidents.
WARNING
▪ All wiring must be performed by an authorized
electrician and must comply with the applicable
legislation.
▪ Make electrical connections to the fixed wiring.
▪ All components procured on the site and all electrical
construction must comply with the applicable
legislation.
WARNING
ALWAYS use multicore cable for power supply cables.
