Installation precautions
In addition to heeding the points presented in the “Safety precautions”, observe the following precautions as well.
Concerning the installation location
After conferring in detail with your dealer, choose a sturdy ceiling or other surface, and install the unit.
Install the unit on a ceiling that is strong enough (such as a concrete ceiling).
If the unit is to be installed on a ceiling which is not strong enough, reinforce the ceiling sufficiently first.
Do not install or use the unit in the following kinds of locations.
On walls (where the unit would be installed sideways)
In locations (including places such as under the eaves of a building) where the unit would be directly exposed to rain or water
In locations such as kitchens where there are high concentrations of steam and grease
In outdoor locations or hot places where the temperature will exceed 104 °F (40 °C)
In cold locations where the temperature will drop below 32 °F (0 °C)
In locations where the humidity will exceed 85 %
In locations where chemicals are used such as near swimming pools
At sea, in coastal areas or in locations where corrosive gases are emitted
In locations where the unit would be subject to a great deal of vibration such as on board a vehicle or ship (this unit is not designed to be used in vehicles)
In locations where the temperature is subject to sudden changes such as near the air outlet of an air conditioner or near a door which allows the outside air to come in
What to avoid to ensure that the unit will perform stably over a prolonged period
Using the unit for a prolonged period in a location with high temperature and humidity levels will cause its parts to deteriorate and shorten its service life.
Do not expose the unit directly to the heat given off in the installation location or heat from a heater or other such appliance.
The accessory parts provided with the unit must be used without fail to install the unit.
Be absolutely sure to use the mounting brackets and mounting screws provided with the unit to install the unit.
Separately obtain the screws used to mount the installation surface bracket.
This unit does not come with the screws used to mount the installation surface bracket.
Obtain the hexagon head bolts (M6), spring washers, flat washers and, if necessary, nuts.
Tightening the installation screws
Tighten up the screws and bolts to an extent that is commensurate with the materials and structures in the installation location.
After tightening up the screws and bolts, visually inspect for any ricketiness or play, and check that the unit is secured properly in place.
Use the specified tools and tighten the screws firmly.
When the unit is no longer going to be used, do not leave it lying around, but be absolutely sure to dispose of it properly.
When installing or disposing of the unit, be absolutely sure to hold it by its pedestal area.
An accident may occur if its rotating part is held or rotated by hand.
Do not attach a filter, hood, extender or other parts to the unit.
Be absolutely sure to use size “AA” manganese dry batteries for the wireless remote control.
Do not use any other kind of batteries.
Install the unit near the main power outlet, and position it in such a way that its power plug can be plugged into and unplugged from the outlet easily.
Do not connect a regular LAN line or telephone line to the CONTROLLER connector on the unit.
Doing so may cause malfunctioning.
