Fluorescent lights. When installing a wireless user interface in a
room with fluorescent lights, mind the following to avoid interference:
▪ Install the wireless user interface as close as possible to the
indoor unit.
▪ Install the indoor unit as far as possible from the fluorescent
lights.
▪ Take care that in the event of a water leak, water cannot cause
any damage to the installation space and surroundings.
▪ Choose a location where the hot/cold air discharged from the unit
or the operation noise, will NOT disturb anyone.
WARNING
Do NOT place objects below the indoor and/or outdoor unit
that may get wet. Otherwise condensation on the main unit
or refrigerant pipes, air filter dirt or drain blockage may
cause dripping, and objects under the unit may get dirty or
damaged.
Air flow. Make sure nothing blocks the air flow.
Drainage. Make sure condensation water can be evacuated
properly.
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 10mm thickness, polyethylene foam).
Protective guards. Make sure to install protective guards on the
suction and discharge side to prevent somebody from touching the fan blades or heat exchanger.
Do NOT install the unit in the following places:
▪ In places where a mineral oil mist, spray or vapour may be
present in the atmosphere. Plastic parts may deteriorate and fall off or cause water leakage.
It is NOT recommended to install the unit in the following places because it may shorten the life of the unit:
▪ Where the voltage fluctuates a lot
▪ In vehicles or vessels
▪ Where acidic or alkaline vapour is present
▪ Use suspension bolts for installation.
Spacing. Mind the following requirements:
Installation options:
A Standard rear suction B Installation with rear duct and duct service opening C Installation with rear duct, no duct service opening
a Ceiling surface b Ceiling opening c Service access panel (optional accessory) d Air filter e Air inlet filter
f Duct service opening
g Interchangeable plate
