Countermeasure to wind
Referring to the figure shown below, take appropriate measures which will suit the actual situation of the place for installation.
A unit installed alone is vulnerable to strong winds. Select the installation site carefully to minimize the effect of winds.
To install a unit in a place where the wind always blows from the same direction, install the unit so that the outlet faces away
from the direction of the wind.
Note:
1. Height of frame base for snow damage prevention (H) shall be twice as high as expected snowfall.
Width of frame base
shall not exceed that of the unit.
The frame base shall be made of angle steel, etc., and designed so that snow and wind slip
through the structure.
(If frame base is too wide, snow will be accumulated on it.)
2. Install unit so that wind will not directly lash against openings of inlet and outlet ducts.
3. Build frame base at customer referring to this figure.
Material
: Galvanized steel plate 1.2T [1/16 in. T]
Painting
: Overall painting with polyester powder
Color
: Munsell 5Y8/1 (same as that of unit)
4. To install units side by side, install a filler plate between
the fan guard and the outlet-side snow food as shown in Figure A.
(The filler plate provided accommodates the installation pitch of between 30-80 mm [1-3/16~3-5/32 in.].)
5. When the unit is used in a cold region and the heating operation is continuously
performed for a long time when the outside air temperature is below freezing, install
a heater to the unit base or take other appropriate measures to prevent water from freezing on the base.

Wind
Install the outdoor unit where seasonal
winds do not blow directly against the
unit, such as behind a building.
Install the outdoor unit to avoid having
seasonal winds against the front of air
