accidents, so always ensure that the appropriate refrigerant R410A
is charged.
r Refrigerant containers shall be opened slowly.
r Always use protective gloves and protect your eyes when charging
refrigerant.
r When the refrigerant system is to be opened, refrigerant must be
treated according to the applicable legislation.

r This outdoor unit is factory charged with refrigerant and depending
on pipe sizes and pipe lengths some systems require additional
charging of refrigerant. See 14.2. Calculating the additional refriger-
ant charge.
r In case recharge is required, refer to the nameplate of the unit.
It states the type of refrigerant and necessary amount.
14.2. Calculating the additional refrigerant charge
NOTE
The refrigerant charge of the system must be less than 210 lbs.
(100 kg). This means that in case the calculated total refrigerant
charge is equal to or more than 209 lbs. (95 kg) you must divide your
multiple outdoor system into smaller independent systems, each
containing less than 209 lbs. (95 kg) refrigerant charge. For factory
charge, refer to the unit nameplate.
14.2.1. How to calculate the additional refrigerant to be charged
Additional refrigerant to be charged=R (lbs.). R should be rounded off
in units of 0.1 lbs.

INFORMATION
r When using multi models, add the sum of individual capacity types.
r Piping length is considered the distance from the outdoor unit to the
farthest indoor unit.
When selecting indoor unit, following table with connection ratio limita-
tion has to be respected. More detailed information can be found in
