and the farthest installed device must be installed within the distance of 1000m.
• It is recommended to use the communication cable which is more than 0.75 mm2.
• Set the address that does not overlap within the same device type.
• When multiple different wireless LAN equipment are connected to the router to which you are connecting the controller,
the wireless LAN malfunction may be caused (Such as delayed operation speed, disconnected, etc.) In this case, it is
recommended to use a separate router to connect the controller.

■ Connection of RS485 communication line

One unit of controller can connect up to 16 indoor units. When multiple devices are connected, they must be connected
in a BUS format. Otherwise, the controller may cause malfunction.

■ Indoor unit central control address setting
First, you need to grant address that does not overlap to each equipment (indoor unit, ventilation equipment) considering
the entire installation composition connected to one controller.
The address of the device must be set within the range of 00~0F.

Note : Granting outdoor unit and indoor unit number

If the outdoor unit product is Multi V, it is recommended to set the first digit of the address as the outdoor unit number,
and classify the second digit as the indoor unit number, so that the system composition and division can be easily identi-
fied during the address setting.

Outdoor unit(group) number Indoor unit number

Note : Setting method of indoor unit central control address

The central control address setting method may be different according to the indoor unit product or remote controller
type, so proceed the address setting by referring to the indoor unit product or wired remote controller manual.
