Total capacity of indoor units
(varies depending on the height difference between
indoor units.)
Cautions for installation
Set the outdoor unit first connected to the bridging pipe to the indoor units as the header unit.
Install the outdoor units in order of their capacity codes: A (header unit) ≥ B ≥ C ≥ D
When connecting gas pipes to indoor units, use Y-shaped branching joints to keep pipes level.
When piping to outdoor units using Outdoor unit connection piping kits, intersect the pipes to the outdoor unit
and those to indoor units at a right angle as shown in figure 1 on "6. Installation of the outdoor unit". Do not
connect them as in figure 2 on "6. Installation of the outdoor unit".
