4.7.6. MULTIPLE CONNECTIONS
CAUTION
• When connecting multiple units (3 units maximum), make sure the master unit has the maximum capacity in
the system.
Example:
When connecting multiple outdoor units, designate one of them to be the master unit and others to be the
slave units. It is not possible to connect master units in multiples. As shown in the diagram, arrange the
outdoor units so that the master unit should be installed closest to the indoor unit. (Figs. 4.7-9, 10, 11, 12) Use
outdoor unit branch kit (optional) to connect multiple units.
