Basic wiring rules
Total transmission line length: MAX 3600 m (A+C+D+E+F+G+H+J+K+N+W ≤ 3600)
Transmission line length between each unit : MAX 400 m
Transmission line length between outdoor units in a refrigerant system MAX 18 m (L
≤ 18 m , M ≤ 18 m)
Be sure to set 1 terminal resistor in a network segment..

Signal amplifi er
The transmission cable connects indoor units belonging to the same RB group. The
transmission cable cannot be used to connect indoor units belonging to different RB
groups.

If there are more than 321 units(*1) within the network system, a signal amplifi er
(with the fi lter mode: on) must be installed between the master outdoor units. See
the Signal Amplifi er Installation Manual and Design & Technical Manual for more
information.

Unit* means indoor unit, outdoor unit, Touch Panel Controller and System Con-
troller, Signal Amplifi er, single split adaptor, Network Convertor etc..
Do not use loop wiring. This may lead to parts damage and erroneous operation.

Enabling/Disabling automatic address setting
(c)
You can enable/disable automatic address setting for the indoor unit, RB unit and the
signal amplifi er.
To enable automatic address setting for the indoor unit, connect the indoor unit to
outdoor units under the same refrigerant system.(Fig.4)
