Note 1:

For each system, the equivalent length should be carefully checked according to the field piping
(including additional lengths for elbows, joints and bends). Figures should satisfy the piping length
limitation according to the models related engineering data book. In case equivalent piping length is
more than 90 meters, the gas pipe diameter of the main line should be size-up. In such a case, after

IZE-00012a 5
 calculation of the equivalent piping length, ‘size-up’ box from the main pipe display properties windows
should be clicked (See section 4.4.4. of this manual).

Note 2:

As equivalent piping length is not figured in the software, check on the piping length conformity is not
done. See Note 2 regarding equivalent piping length check and calculation. Refer to ‘Complete VRV
Selection Process’, [in the ‘Useful information’ section of our Distributor’s home page] and models
related engineering data books for design and engineering details.

Note 3:

Wiring continuity is checked, i.e. if one unit is not connected it will be identified when checking wiring,
but the program cannot identify ‘how’ the unit is connected. For detailed information on wiring rules,
refer to ‘Design guideline on Super Wiring for VRV’ [in the ‘Useful information’ section of our
Distributor’s home page] and models related engineering data for design and related engineering details.

Note 4:

There is no entry for the wiring length. Wiring length should be checked for each system, and instruction
given to installers accordingly. For details regarding the wiring length, refer to ‘Design guideline on
Super Wiring for VRV’ [in the ‘Useful information’ section of our Distributor’s home page] and models
related engineering data for design and related engineering details.

Note 5:

The software doesn’t check if some units are not wired to a group. Also it does not allow the connection
of 2 R/C for one group in edit mode. Would this specific configuration be needed, the second R/C should
be added on the report.

Note 6:

Three options are included in the automatic drawing function: Series, Branch and Header. Refer to 4-3.
‘Automatic drawing’ section of this manual for details on how to use these functions.

3. Reference materials and documentation:

Design limitation regarding the piping length, wiring length, and remote control wiring length should be
carefully checked in the Engineering data books corresponding to the considered equipment. For further
installation details, you can also refer to the Installation manuals.
You can also refer to the existing guidelines:
- ‘Complete VRV Selection Process’, piping section
- ‘Design guideline on Super Wiring for VRV’
Parts of these documents are presented in the help file of EXZII. The full documents can be
downloaded from the ‘Useful information’ section of DAIKIN distributor’s home page:

IZE-00012a 27
 Note 1:
For each system, the equivalent length should be carefully checked according to the field piping
(including the number of elbows). Figures should satisfy the piping length limitation according to the
models related engineering data. Refer to Complete VRV Selection Process, in the piping section and
models related engineering data for design and engineering details. In case equivalent piping length is
more than 90 meters, the gas pipe diameter of the main line should be size-up. In such a case, after
calculation of the equivalent piping length, ‘size-up’ box from the main pipe display properties windows
should be clicked (See section 4.4.4. of this manual).

(Note 1) Fit to one page function:

If you select the ‘Fit to one page’ function, the size of the units will be reduced to fit the system diagram into the report
frame. In case too many units are the system this function should not be used as it may become difficult to read the
diagram.

Would you not select the ‘Fit to one page’ function, above a certain number of units in the system, the system diagram
will be out of the report frame. In such a case you will need to use the cut and paste functions in the excel sheet to
position all the units within the report frame.

(2) Kit Summary Table
The tables for the following items will be created regarding the refrigerant branch kits selected.
- A list of type numbers and total number of refrigerant branch kits by system
- A list of type numbers and total number of refrigerant branch kits for the entire building
Only systems selected in the Printing System Selection screen will be shown in the list.
(3) Simple System Diagram
A simple system diagram will be automatically created by using EXCEL’s Drawing function. One sheet of the
simple diagram will be created for each system. When an automatically created diagram has a poor layout, such
as when tables and indoor units in the diagram overlap, adjust it manually on EXCEL.

(4) Template
Refers to a blank preset format. Copy and use as necessary.

The program will create one sheet of data for each printing data set above. (The following example represents
the print result for a building with two systems.)

When the ‘Fit to one page’ function is not selected, printing data for a simple system diagram may not fit in
the diagram frame. If that is the case, manually adjust the diagram, such as dividing it, to fit in the frame by
using EXCEL’s Copy, Cut and Paste functions.
