≤50 m (40 m)
(if outdoor is located below indoor units)
Conditional extension up till 90 m is possible without
additional option kit:
▪ In case the outdoor location is higher than indoor:
extension is possible up till 90 m and following
2 conditions must be fulfilled:
▪ Liquid piping size up (see table "Size up" in
between refrigerant branch kit and indoor unit" on
page 14
).
▪ Dedicated setting on outdoor unit is required (see [2‑49]
"7.2.8 Mode 2: Field settings" on page 40
▪ In case the outdoor location is lower than indoor:
extension is possible up till 90 m and following
6 conditions must be fulfilled:
▪ 40~60 m: minimum connection ratio connected: 80%.
▪ 60~65 m: minimum connection ratio connected: 90%.
▪ 65~80 m: minimum connection ratio connected: 100%.
▪ 80~90 m: minimum connection ratio connected: 110%.
▪ Liquid piping size up (see table "Size up" in
between refrigerant branch kit and indoor unit" on
page 14
).
▪ Dedicated setting on outdoor unit is required (see [2‑35]
"7.2.8 Mode 2: Field settings" on page 40

Maximum allowable length after branch
The pipe length from the first refrigerant branch kit to the indoor unit
≤40 m.
