The maximum number of indoor units that can be connected is 48. (When only one W Multi outdoor unit is in-
stalled, the maximum number of indoor units that can be connected is 24.)
The capacities that can be connected to the indoor units are 50 - 130%. (When connecting indoor units in a W
Multi system, connect capacities of at least 50% the smallest outdoor unit capacity, and 130% or below the total
outdoor unit capacity.) When only one W Multi outdoor unit is installed, the capacities that can be con-
nected to the indoor units are 50 - 200%. For a "G-Power" unit, however, the capacities that can be con-
nected are 50 - 130%.

LM: Main tube with largest tubing diameter (includes LA and all post-branch main tubes that are
identical in size to LA) ≤ 120 m.

Select the sizes for post-branching main tubes after LM (LB, LC, ...) based on the post-branching
capacity.
