  • Page 41: External Static Pressure

    10. EXTERNAL STATIC PRESSURE SETTING For middle static pressure duct type indoor units, the ventilating resistance so-called “external static pressure” becomes greatly different depending on the connected duct length, shape, number of air outlet ports and types of filters. When installing this unit, be sure to carry out the external static pressure setting in order to operate in the rated airflow volume.
  • Page 42 Flow of External Static Pressure Start external static pressure Finish the ducting and electrical wiring and prepare it for use. (Note (1)) setting External static pressure should be set during initial operations after installation (before the cooling and heating test run). When operating with group control (connecting multiple indoor units with one wired remote controller), make the middle static pressure duct type to the main unit.
  • Page 43 2) If multiple air outlets and air inlets are included, adjust the airflow volume ratio of all of them until they meet the design airflow ratio. 3) Make sure the address setting has been completed. (2) The operation check will be completed in approximately three minutes if the settings have been made correctly.
