Full operation is guaranteed within the limits of operation. The system will ramp down outside of these limits.
Use the table at left to determine if your
system is an allowed combination. To use
the table:
1. Move vertically along the first column
to select your System Type. Single,
dual split, etc.
2. Move vertically within your System
Type to select your Outdoor Unit.
3. Use the table below to identify the size
of your Indoor Unit(s) (A, B, C, D).
4. Read horizontally through each row
within your System Type/Outdoor
Unit(ODU) pair. If the units you want
to use are contained in a single row,
then your selected system is an allowed
combination.
IMPORTANT!
Only allowed combinations may be
installed.
If a disallowed combination is installed, the
system will not operate properly!

The lengths below are the maximum lineset lengths for the given system configurations. If your installation requires a
lineset length that exceeds the pre-charged length, additional refrigerant is required. See the section Adding Refrigerant,
below, to determine how much to add.

Required (R410-A)
Example: An IS18G050 is installed as a single-split with a 1/4” x
3/8” line set 60 ft in length.
Solution: The outdoor unit is pre-charged for a line set length of up
to 40ft. The line length that must be compensated for is 20ft (60ft -
40ft = 20ft). Select the line set size from the table at left to find the
additional amount of refrigerant to add. You must add 0.16oz/ft.
The total amount of refrigerant that must be added is:
0.16oz/ft x 20ft = 3.2oz
No additional charge of compressor oil is necessary.
