*1: Farthest outdoor unit from the first branch: (C), farthest indoor unit: (o)
*2: Allowable values for length equivalent to furthest pipe are shown below and they vary according to performance rank of outdoor
unit.
22.4 to 56.0: 185m, 61.5 to 112.0: 195m, 120.0: 200m
*3: When system capacity is greater than 28 HP, height difference between indoor units is limited to 3 m. If the piping exceeds 3 m
with a capacity greater than 28 HP there may be a case of capacity shortage in cooling.
*4: Ensure that the header unit is installed below all connected follower outdoor unit(s).
Possible product failure may occur if header unit is installed above any follower unit(s).
*5: 40m is possible for a system that uses only the flow selector unit (multi port type), whose all the indoor units are 3HP or higher,
and working ambient temperature is 0ºC or higher.
*6: If the height difference (H2) between indoor units exceed 3 m, set 50 m or less.
*7: Total charging refrigerant is 140 kg or less.
*8: The total piping length in one Multi port type FS unit in case of branching to 4 : 120m (p + q + r + L11 + s + t), In case of branching
to 6 : 180m.
*9: Length of whole pipe should be shorter than 50 m (L11+s+t, L13+u+v) in one branch.

Airtightness test

After the refrigerant piping has been finished, execute an airtight test.
For an airtight test, connect a nitrogen gas canister as shown in the figure on this page and apply pressure.
• Be sure to apply pressure from the service ports of the packed valves (or ball valves) at the suction gas side,
discharge gas side, liquid side and balance pipe side.
• An airtight test can only be performed at the service ports at the suction gas side, discharge gas side, liquid side
and balance pipe side.
• Close the valves fully at the suction gas side, discharge gas side, liquid side and balance pipe side. As there is
a possibility that the nitrogen gas will enter into the cycle of outdoor units, re-tighten the valve rods at the liquid
side and balance pipe side before applying pressure.
• For each refrigerant line, apply pressure gradually in steps at the suction gas side, discharge gas side, liquid
side and balance pipe side.
Be sure to apply pressure at the suction gas side, discharge gas side, liquid side and balance pipe side.
WARNING
Never use oxygen, flammable gases, or noxious gases in an airtight test.
