In case the required pipe sizes (inch sizes) are not available, it is
also allowed to use other diameters (mm sizes), taken the following
into account:
▪ Select the pipe size nearest to the required size.
▪ Use the suitable adapters for the change-over from inch to mm
pipes (field supply).
▪ The additional refrigerant calculation has to be adjusted as
mentioned in
"5.6.2 To determine the additional refrigerant
.
A: Piping between heat exchanger unit and
compressor unit
Use the following diameters:
Compressor unit
capacity type (HP)
Piping outer diameter size (mm)
Gas pipe
Liquid pipe

B: Piping between compressor unit and (first)
refrigerant branch kit
If the equivalent pipe length between the heat exchanger unit and
the furthest indoor unit is 90 m or more, it is recommended to
increase the size (size-up) of the main gas pipe (between
compressor unit and first refrigerant branch kit). If the recommended
gas pipe (size-up) is not available, you must use the standard size
(which might result in a small capacity decrease).

Safety device requirements
NOTICE
When using residual current operated circuit breakers, be
sure to use a high-speed type 300 mA rated residual
operating current.
Power supply: Compressor unit
The power supply must be protected with the required safety
devices, i.e. a main switch, a slow blow fuse on each phase and an
earth leakage protector in accordance with the applicable legislation.
Selection and sizing of the wiring should be done in accordance with
the applicable legislation based on the information mentioned in the
table below.
