Impact of weather conditions:
■ When installing in wind-exposed areas, pay attention to wind loads.
When installing an external module on a at roof, signicant wind loads may occur
depending on the wind load zone and the height of the building. In this case, we
recommend to support the structure taking into account the requirements of DIN
1991-1-4.
■ Incorporate the external unit into the lightning protection system.
■ Consider the heat absorbtion (heating mode) and heat emission (cooling mode) of
the unit when planning your weatherproong measures or an enclosure.
Condensate:
■ Ensure the condensate can drain freely, and create a permanent gravel bed below
the external unit as a soakaway.
Insulation of structure-borne noise and vibrations between the building and the external
unit,:
■ When cable entry is above ground level, t pipe bends as anti-vibration mounts in
refrigerant lines (see "Connecting refrigerant lines").
■ Route electrical cables/leads between the internal and external units free of stress.
■ Installation only on walls with high weight per area (> 250 kg/m2), in other words not
on lightweight walls, roof structure etc.
Installation location
■ Select a site with good air circulation, so that the cooled air can dissipate and be
replenished by warm air.
■ Never site in corners of rooms, recesses or between walls.
This might result in the discharged air re-entering the unit.
Note!
Limiting the free ow of air can lead to re-suction of cooled (heated in cooling mode) air
and lead to disruptions in the operation of the unit, deterioration of eciency and, as a
result, an increase in electricity consumption.
■ When installing the unit where it is exposed to wind, ensure that the wind cannot
inuence the fan area. This could result in an "air short circuit" between the discharged
and the inrushing air. Strong wind can have a negative inuence on the evaporator
ventilation.
■ Take the lengths of the refrigerant lines into account (see "Connecting refrigerant
lines").
■ Select the installation site so that the evaporator cannot be blocked by leaves, snow
etc.
■ Select the installation site with due consideration of the statutory regulations on
sound dissipation and reections.
