3. Allowable length/height difference of refrigerant piping
Note: In case of connecting method in Example 2, a large amount of
refrigerant and refrigerant oil may return to the master unit. Therefore,
set the T-shape joint so that oil does not enter directly.

Note 1: Combination of outdoor units: Master unit (1 unit) + slave units (0 to 3 units).
Master unit is the outdoor unit nearest to the connected indoor units.
Note 2: Install the outdoor units in order of capacity.
(Master unit ≥ slave unit 1 ≥ slave unit 2 ≥ slave unit 3)
Note 3: Refer to outdoor unit combination table on page 7.
Note 4: Piping to indoor units shall be perpendicular to piping to the master outdoor unit as in
Example 1. Do not connect piping to indoor uints in the same direction as the master
outdoor unit in Example 2.

** If the height difference (H2) between indoor units exceeds 3 m, set below 30 m.
*** If the maximum combination capacity of the outdoor units is 46 hp or more, the maximum equivalent length is restricted up to 70 m.
