RECOMMENDED TOOLS AND IMPLEMENTS
The maximum distance between the internal and external unit is 4 m (the length of the
freezing tubes and electricity cable). The internal unit must hang at least 1 m higher
than the top of the external unit.
The place for the internal unit
• on a wall in which a hole of Ø 65 mm (size of the sleeve) can be made for the
connection with the external unit. For a hole in a concrete wall special equipment is
required; leave this to a specialised company. Check the selected place with a duct
detector to make sure that there are no ducts.
- distance to ceiling at least 15 cm, free space left and right at least 50 cm.
- the cool air must be able to flow easily through the whole room.
- in the middle, not near a window or door is the most suitable place.
- it must be accessible to the filter for cleaning purposes.
- at least 1 m away from TV, video and similar equipment and from fluorescent lamps.
- an earthed socket must be present at a distance of no more than 1.5 m (the length
of the lead to the internal unit). If necessary have a socket fitted by a registered
electrician in accordance with any applicable regulations. The internal unit gets its
electricity from the external unit through the cable going along the freezing tubes.
The place of the external unit
• must be strong enough to support the weight of the external unit. That can be on
the ground, on a flat roof (provided you can fit a suitable base plate there to attach
the external unit to; prevent leakage of your roof) or on wall supports. If necessary
reinforce the place chosen; if the place is not strong enough that can lead to
excessive vibration and noise.
- sufficient free-flowing air current, as little as possible exposed to rain and direct
sunlight and a draining possibility for the condensation water.
- where expelled air and noise do not lead to nuisance; not where there is high
atmospheric humidity, not in the vicinity of grease or oxidising gases.
- free distance to the rear at least 15 cm, to the sides and to the front at least 50 cm.
Allow space for maintenance work.
