2-3. Baffle Plate for the Outdoor Unit (CU-KSxxNKUA models only)
NOTE
It is recommended to use baffle plates for models
When the outdoor unit is installed in a position exposed to strong wind (such as seasonal winds with low air tem- perature in winter), baffle plates must be installed on the outdoor unit. (Fig. 5f)
This unit is designed so that the fan of the outdoor unit runs at low speed when the air conditioner is operated at low outdoor air temperatures. When the outdoor unit is exposed to strong wind, the system pressure drops because of the freeze protector.
Install a pair of windbaffle plates at the front and back of the outdoor unit if it will be subject to strong wind during the winter. (Figs. 5f, 5g, 5h, 5i, and 5j)
