Electrical wiring
16.3.3  H-LINK system
The H-LINK system can not be applied to the cycle with the old 
model unit or the unit with old transmission
1  Application
The  new  H-LINK  wiring  system  requires  only  two  transmission 
wires connecting each indoor unit and outdoor unit for up to 16 
refrigerant cycles, and connecting wires for all indoor units and all 
outdoor units in series.
2  Features
 - The total wiring length is remarkably reduced.
 - Only one connection is required for the wiring between the 
indoor unit and outdoor unit.
 - Easy wiring connection to the central controllers.
3  Specications
 - Transmission Wire: 2-Wire
 - Polarity of transmission wire: Non-polar wire
 - Maximum  outdoor  units  to  be  connected:  16  units  per  
H-LINK system.
 - Maximum indoor units to be connected: 3 units per cycle 
and 48 units per H-LINK system
 - Maximum  wiring  length:  Total  1000m  (including  CSNET 
WEB). In case that the total wiring length is longer than 
1000m, contact the Hitachi dealer.
 - Recommended  cable:  Twist  pair  cable  with  shield,  over 
0.75mm

 (Equivalent to KPEV-S)
 - Voltage: DC5V
4  Example of H-LINK system
Using H-Link system only for air conditioners.
There are two typical cases of using H-LINK system:
a.  Using  H-LINK  system  only  for  air  conditioners,  without 
control device.
Examples:
•  Line connection with all units
Do not make 
wiring in a 
loop
Indoor 
units
Outdoor 
units
•  Line connection for each oor
Indoor 
units
Outdoor 
units
b.  Using H-LINK system for air conditioners with central con-
trol device.
In case that H-LINK is not applied when electrical wiring is per-
formed.
Indoor units
Outdoor 
units
  NOTE
•  Do not make a wiring in a loop.
•  In the case that H-LINK is not applied after the when electri-
cal wiring is performed as shown above, H-LINK is applied 
after the instrument wiring is completed. Therefore, the dip 
switches are required to be set according to setting of Dip 
switches on PCB.
5  Dip Switch Setting of Indoor PCB and Outdoor PCB
It is required to set dip switches of every indoor unit and outdoor 
unit.
