Do not allow for excess length of line sets to be left rolled up as part of the
required distance, or in general. This will also cause additional performance issues.
IMPORTANT
NOTE: Note: Each system size has a line set length and vertical elevation parameters.

8.7. Multi-Zone Piping Limitations
CAUTION
In order to avoid injury, take proper precaution when lift-
ing heavy objects.
IMPORTANT
Pipe and wire to each zone separately.
Test each indoor unit separately to ensure proper opera-
tion.
Connecting Multiple Capacity Indoor Units
• The largest capacity indoor unit must be connected to the lowest refrigerant connection ports on the outdoor unit.
• The 24,000 Btu indoor unit is only allowed to be connected to MPC036S4M, MPC048S4M, MLB036S4M and
MLB048S4M outdoor units.
NOTE: Each indoor unit must be piped AND wired to the correct zone piping connections and wiring terminals. Make
sure that indoor unit A is wired to the zone A terminal block and connected to the appropriate refrigerant pipe
connections.
