5.2.2 Additional installation site requirements
of the outdoor unit in cold climates
Protect the outdoor unit against direct snowfall and take care that the
outdoor unit is NEVER snowed up.
a Snow cover or shed
b Pedestal (minimum height=150mm)
c Prevailing wind direction
d Air outlet
5.3 Preparing refrigerant piping
5.3.1 Refrigerant piping requirements
INFORMATION
Also read the precautions and requirements in the
"General safety precautions" chapter.
Refrigerant piping material
▪ Piping material: Phosphoric acid deoxidised seamless copper.
▪ Piping temper grade and thickness:
Outer diameter
(Ø)
Temper grade Thickness (t)
(a)
6.4mm (1/4")
9.5mm (3/8")
12.7mm (1/2")
Annealed (O) ≥0.8mm
15.9mm (5/8") Annealed (O) ≥1.0mm
19.1mm (3/4") Half hard (1/2H)
(a) Depending on the applicable legislation and the unit's
maximum working pressure (see "PS High" on the unit
name plate), larger piping thickness might be required.
▪ Flare connections: Only use annealed material.
Refrigerant piping diameter
Use the same diameters as the connections on the outdoor units:
L1 liquid piping Ø9.5mm
L1 gas piping Ø15.9mm
Refrigerant piping length and height difference
The piping length and height difference must comply with the
following requirements:
Requirement Limit
1 Minimum total one‑way piping
length
Limit≤L1 5m
2 Maximum total one‑way piping
length
L1≤Limit 30m (50m)
(a)
3 Maximum height between indoor
and outdoor
H1≤Limit 30m
(a) Parenthesised figure represents the equivalent length.
5.3.2 Refrigerant piping insulation
▪ Use polyethylene foam as insulation material:
▪ with a heat transfer rate between 0.041 and 0.052W/mK (0.035
and 0.045kcal/mh°C)
▪ with a heat resistance of at least 120°C
▪ Insulation thickness
Ambient

Humidity Minimum thickness
≤30°C 75% to 80% RH 15mm
>30°C ≥80% RH 20mm
5.4 Preparing electrical wiring

components"on page20.
WARNING
▪ If the power supply has a missing or wrong N-phase,
equipment might break down.
▪ Establish proper earthing. Do NOT earth the unit to a
utility pipe, surge absorber, or telephone earth.
Incomplete earthing may cause electrical shock.
▪ Install the required fuses or circuit breakers.
▪ Secure the electrical wiring with cable ties so that the
cables do NOT come in contact with sharp edges or
piping, particularly on the high-pressure side.
▪ Do NOT use taped wires, stranded conductor wires,
extension cords, or connections from a star system.
They can cause overheating, electrical shock or fire.
▪ Do NOT install a phase advancing capacitor, because
this unit is equipped with an inverter. A phase
advancing capacitor will reduce performance and may
cause accidents.
