Toshiba RAS-B13SKVP-E Outdoor Unit, Installation Location, Precautions for adding refrigerant

10-4. Outdoor Unit

10-4-1. Installation Location

•A place which provides enough space around the outdoor unit as shown in the diagram.

•A place which can bear the weight of the outdoor unit and does not allow an increase in noise level and vibration.

•A place where the operation noise and discharged air do not disturb neighbors.

•A place which is not exposed to a strong wind.

•A place free of combustible gases.

•A place which does not block a passageway.

•When the outdoor unit is to be installed in an elevated position, be sure to secure its feet.

•This air conditioner accepts a connection piping length from 2 m to 25 m.

•There is no need to add refrigerant as long as the length of the connection piping is 15 m or less.

•You will need to add 20 g of refrigerant per meter of added connection piping for installa- tions requiring connection piping to be between 16 m to 25 m.

•An allowable height level is up to 10 m.

•A place where the drain water does not cause any problems.

Precautions for adding refrigerant

•Use a scale having at least 10 g per index line precision when adding the refrigerant.

Do not use a bathroom scale or similar instrument.

•Use liquid refrigerant when refilling the refrigerant. Since the refrigerant is in liquid form, it can fill quickly.

Therefore, perform the filling operation carefully and insert the refrigerant gradually.

CAUTION

1.Install the outdoor unit in a location where there are no obstructions near its air intake or air outlet.

2.When the outdoor unit is installed in a place that is always exposed to strong winds like on the coast or on a high story of a building, secure the normal fan operation using a duct or a wind shield.

3.Especially in windy areas, install the unit to prevent the admission of wind.

4.Installation in the following places may result in trouble.

Do not install the unit in such places.

•A place full of machine oil.

•A saline-place such as the coast.

•A place full of sulfide gas.
