6.2.2.5 H-LINK
HC-A64NET is compatible with the H-LINK 2 and the old version called H-LINK (H-LINK 1) units.
Connection of both H-LINK 1 and H-LINK 2 units in the same H-LINK unit is possible considering the unit limitations and
addressing.
H-LINK 2 number of connectable devices is up to a maximum of 200 devices in the H-LINK 2 line. A CSNET WEB, an
Indoor Unit, an Outdoor Unit, a HC-A64NET or other devices with H-LINK address are considered as a device.
NOTE
• CSNET Manager is not considered as an H-LINK device.
• PC-A1IO, KPI or DX-Kit count as a normal indoor unit.
When there is a central control device like CSNET Manager, the maximum number of total units (indoor and outdoor units)
for only 1000 meters of H-LINK line is shown on the following table:
Maximum number
Outdoor units 64
Indoor units 160
Units (outdoor and indoor) 176
H-LINK devices 200
H-LINK line length could be up to 1000 meters, they could be increased to 5000 meters using up to 4 PSC-5HR. Each of
them adds 1000 meters to the line, affecting the quantity of indoor unit that can be connected to the same H-LINK.
Each H-LINK line repeater (PSC-5HR) counts as 16 indoor units. The following table summarize the affection of the PSC-
5HR to the indoor and outdoor unit maximum number.
Number of PSC-5HR Maximum length of H-LINK Maximum number of indoor and outdoor units
0 1000 meters 176
1 2000 meters 160
2 3000 meters 144
3 4000 meters 128
4 5000 meters 112
Therefore, considering the previous maximums and the number of PSC-5HR, the maximum number of indoor units with
one central control, on that case CSNET WEB, is shown on the following table and graphic.

The maximum number of Indoor units connectable to a HC-A64NET is 64, and for the outdoor units are 64.
Note that CSNET Manager connected to a PSC-A160WEB1 can control up to 160 units. Connecting 8 PSC-A160WEB1 to
one CSNET Manager we can get the maximum number of connectable units of 1280.
