3.4. Checking the installation site
Check that the difference of elevation between indoor and outdoor units and the
length of refrigerant piping are within the following limitations.
1. CMB-P104, 105, 106, 108, 1010, 1013, 1016G (In the case the outdoor
unit is 12.5-hp (P120 model) or less, and 16 or fewer ports are used.)

Notes:
*1 Refer to "Restrictions on piping length" on P. 7.
Indoor unit" when the distance between BC controller and farthest in-
door unit exceeds 40 m [131ft]. (Not applicable to the P96 model indoor
unit)
*3 The values in the parentheses show the maximum piping length to be
followed when the connection capacity of the indoor unit is 72 or more.
*4 In the system to which indoor units of the P72 model or above are con-
nected, neither a branch joint nor a branch header may be used.
*5 Do not connect the P72 or P96 models of indoor units and other mod-
els of indoor units at the same port.
*6 Indoor units that are connected to the same branch joint cannot be si-
multaneously operated in different operation modes.
*7 When connecting multiple indoor units to one branch port, those in-
door units must be installed in the same room.
