*(D) is outdoor unit farthest from 1st branching, and ( j ) is indoor unit farthest from 1st branching.

** If the height difference (H2) between indoor units exceeds 3 m, set below 30 m.

*** If the maximum combination capacity of the outdoor units is 46 hp or more, the maximum equivalent length is restricted up to 70 m.
