Please read the Operating Instructions before using the equipment.
Williams Housed Units (WHUs) eliminate the need to buy condensing units and housing
separately. Designed for all types of outdoor installation, WHUs with full weatherproof and durablehousing for a neat and tidy appearance.
OLD EQUIPMENT
Please ensure the old / redundant refrigeration equipment are disposed of safely and legally.
TRANSPORTATION AND UNPACKING
We would recommend that the WHU is transported to site in its original packaging. When required, remove
all external and interior packing and accessories, please ensure all packaging is disposed of safely.
The box containing the unit or the unit should not be tilted more than 45° when transporting.
INSTALLATION
Installation and maintenance of the units should only be carried out by trained and qualified personnel.
All electrical wiring and connections must comply with local standards.
Whatever the type of installation is chosen, please ensure that the following installation guidelines are
adhered to:
- A minimum clearance of 300mm (12”) for air intake for the air inlets.
- The rear of the condensing unit can be positioned flush to the wall with 1270mm (50”) clearance for
air discharge.
- The location selected for unit installation must be able to support the weight of the unit in its full
operating configuration.
- Locate the unit a sufficient distance (horizontally) from any heat sources to prevent the exhaust
gases from affecting the operation or life of the unit.
- The unit must be located outdoors and cannot be connected to ductwork.
- If the unit is to be installed on or close to the ground, make sure that the location is not liable for
flooding or heavy snow.
- Locate the unit so roof run-off water does not pour directly onto the unit. Provide guttering or other
shielding at roof level.
- Please ensure that the surrounding atmosphere does not contain noxious or dangerous substances
or the location is in an explosive environment.
- Ensure the installation is carried according to the local rules and regulations concerning the
installation of remote condensing equipment including noise levels.
- Avoid installation where the unit will be in direct sunlilght as this will increase the condensing
pressured and reduce unit efficiency. Install units facing North wherever possible.
- Secure units firmly to prevent overturning by earthquakes or gusts of wind. In particularly windy
locations installation should ensure that the prevailing wind does not interfere with air discharge from
the unit.
- Where applicable ensure outdoor unit legs are anchored using bolts.
- The length of refrigerant piping and wiring should be as short as possible to avoid capacity losses
and increased operating costs.
The centre of gravity of the unit is off-centre, therefore caution is necessary when lifting the unit into
position.
