(*1) : The capacity code of outdoor unit and indoor unit, please refer to “Capacity code of indoor and outdoor units”.
(*2) : If the size of the pipe to be selected is larger than the size of the main pipe, please use the same pipe size as the main pipe.
(*3) : Two pipes in downstream of FS unit and cooling only indoor unit use liquid pipe and suction gas pipe.
(*4) : The first branching joint, select at capacity code of outdoor unit.
(*5) : If the total capacity code of indoor units exceed the capacity code of outdoor unit, select the size from the capacity code of the outdoor unit.
(*6) : For one line pipe line of header branching, total 57 capacity code of indoor units is connectable.
If connecting the branching header to the first branch section with the capacity code of outdoor unit is more than 114 (kBtu/h) and less than
247 (kBtu/h), use the RBM-2043FUL (4 branch), and RBM-HT2083FUL (8 branch).
Also, the branching header cannot be used for the first branch section when the capacity code of outdoor unit is more than 247 (kBtu/h).
(*7) : The main pipe is the starting point. The follower unit side is the downstream side.
(*8) : Selection piping is the starting point. The indoor unit side is the downstream side.
(*9) : If the code of outdoor unit is over 408, “Flow Selector unit” is available for only Multi port type and Single port long piping type.
(*10): The group connection of the multiple indoor units is possible up to maximum 8 units, and it is possible only within one FS unit.
(*11): The group connection of the multiple indoor units is possible up to 8 units if one remote controller is used, and it is possible up to 7 units if two
remote controllers are used. The group connection of the multiple indoor units is possible only within one branch.
(*12): In the downstream of the multi type FS unit,the header branch cannot be used.
