2-10 Restrictions on Refrigerant Pipes
2-10-1
Restrictions on Refrigerant Pipe Length
(1) System that requires 16 BC controller ports or fewer <System with only the main BC controller
or standard BC controller>
Note1. No Header usable on PURY system.
Note2. Indoor unit sized P72-P96 should be connected to BC controller via Y shape joint CMY-R160-J1.
Note3. Indoor unit sized P72-P96 does NOT share BC controller ports with other Indoor units ;
Note4. As bents cause pressure loss on transportation of refrigerant, fewer bents design is better ;
Piping length needs to consider the actual length and equivalent length which bents are counted.
Equivalent piping length (m)=Actual piping length+"M" x Number of bent.
Note5. Set DIP-SW 4-6 to ON of BC controller, in case of connected Indoor unit sized P72-P96 with 2 ports.
Note6. Do not connect multiple indoor units to the same port when operating each of them in different mode (cooling,
heating, stop, and thermo-off). The indoor units connected to the same port must be set to operate in the same
mode. Set them in the same group to make them run/stop in the same mode all together. For other options,
enable the thermo setting on the remote controller, or set the common thermostat (optional) to run/stop the units
in the same mode based on a representative temperature.
Note7. Indoor capactiy is described as its model size. For example, PEFY-P24NMAU-E3, its capacity is P24.
Note8. Total down-stream Indoor capacity is the summary of the model size of Indoors down-stream. For example,
PEFY-P24NMAU-E3 + PEFY-P06NMAU-E3: Total Indoor capacity = P24 + P06 = P30.
Note9. To connect the BC controller to the main pipe, use the reducer (CMY-R301S-G, CMY-R302S-G1, or CMY-R304S-G1).
Note10. Install the pipes correctly referring to the section titled "Outdoor Twinning Kit."

*1. Refer to the pages 36, 37.
*2. Details refer to Fig. 1.
*3. When the P72 or P96 model of indoor units are connected to the system, the maximum distance from the BC controller to the farthest indoor unit
(indicated as "D + E + i" in the figure is 40 meters.)
*4. Distance of Indoor sized P72, P96 from BC must be less than 10 m, if any.
*5. Distance of Indoor sized P72, P96 from IU must be less than 20 m, if any.
*6. 90 m is available depending on the model and installation conditions. For more detailed information, contact your local distributor.
*7. 60 m is available depending on the model and installation conditions. For more detailed information, contact your local distributor.
