More than 8 in
(200 mm)
When installing piping from the bottom of the outdoor units, the required
space under the outdoor unit should be ≥ 8 in (200 mm).
*Install the branch kit horizontally.
Do not install directly on the ground, this may result in equipment failure.
Provide ample space for ice buildup from condensate between the bottom of the unit
and the fl at surface on which it is mounted.
Otherwise, there is risk that the drainage water will freeze between the device and the
surface, disabling drainage.
Base
CAUTION
If the unit is installed in a region that is exposed to high
winds, freezing conditions, freezing rain, snow fall or heavy
snow accumulation, take appropriate measures to protect
it from those elements.
To ensure stable operation, the outdoor unit must be
installed on a raised stand or rack, at or above the antici-
pated snow depth for the region.
The installation of snow hoods and drift prevention fencing
is recommended when blowing and drifting snow is com-
mon to the region.
4. SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
4. 1. System confi guration
CAUTION
• When connecting multiple outdoor units, set the nearest outdoor unit to the indoor
unit on the refrigerant pipe as the master unit.
• When connecting multiple outdoor units, install the outdoor unit with the largest
nominal system capacity nearest to the indoor unit on the refrigerant pipe, fol-
lowed by those with less nominal system capacities.
[Capacity: Master ≥ Slave]
• Always keep to the limit on the total amount of refrigerant. Exceeding the limit
on the total amount of refrigerant when charging will lead to malfunction.
