LG Air Conditioner Technical Solution (LATS) Software
A properly designed and installed refrigerant piping system is critical to the optimal performance of LG air-conditioning systems. To assist
engineers, LG offers, free of charge, LG Air Conditioner Technical Solution (LATS) software—a total design solution for LG air conditioning
systems.
To reduce the risk of designing an improper applied system or one that will not operate correctly, LG requires that LATS software be used on all
projects.
Formats
LATS is available to LG customers in three user interfaces: LATS HVAC, LATS CAD2, and LATS REVIT. All three LATS formats are available
through www.myLGHVAC.com, or contact an LG Sales Representative.
LATS HVAC is a Windows®-based application that aids engineers in designing LG Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF), Multi F / Multi F MAX,
Single-Zone, and Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) systems.
*Windows® is a registered mark of Microsoft® Corporation.
LATS CAD2 combines the LG LATS program with AutoCAD®
software**. It permits engineers to layout and validate LG Multi V
Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF), Multi F / Multi F MAX, Single-Zone,
and Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) systems directly into CAD
drawings.
LATS Revit integrates the LG LATS program with Revit® software**.
It permits engineers to layout and validate Multi V VRF systems
directly into Revit drawings.
**AutoCAD® and Revit® are both registered marks of Autodesk, Inc.
Figure 1: Example of LATS CAD2.
Features
All LG product design criteria have been loaded into the program,
making LATS simple to use: double click or drag and drop the
component choices. Build systems in Tree Mode where the
refrigerant system can be viewed. Switch to a Schematic diagram to see the electrical and communications wiring.
LATS software permits the user to input region data, indoor and outdoor design temperatures, modify humidity default values, zoning, specify
type and size of outdoor units and indoor units, and input air flow and external static pressure (ESP) for ducted indoor units.
The program can also:
• Import building loads from a separate Excel file.
• Present options for outdoor unit auto selection.
• Automatically calculate component capacity based on design
conditions for the chosen region.
• Verify if the height differences between the various system
components are within system limits.
• Provide the correct size of each refrigerant piping segment and LG
Y-Branches and Headers.
• Adjust overall piping system length when elbows are added.
• Check for component piping limitations and flag if any parameters
are broken.
• Factor operation and capacity for defrost operation.
• Calculate refrigerant charge, noting any additional trim charge.
• Suggest accessories for indoor units and outdoor units.
• Run system simulation.
Introduction
Features depend on which LATS program is being used, and the type of system being designed.
Due to our policy of continuous product innovation, some specications may change without notication.
LATS software also generates a report containing project design parameters, cooling and heating design data, system component performance, and capacity data. The report includes system combination ratio and refrigerant charge calculations; and provides detailed bill of
material, including outdoor units, indoor units, control devices, accessories, refrigerant pipe sizes segregated by building, by system, by pipe
size, and by pipe segments. LATS can generate an Excel GERP report that can imported into the LG SOPS pricing and ordering system.
Proper Design to Install Procedure
LG encourages a two report design-to-install-procedure. After the
design engineer determines building / zone loads and other details,
the engineer opens the LATS program and inputs the project’s information. When the design is complete, the “Auto Piping” and “System
Check” functions must be used to verify piping sizes, limitations, and
if any design errors are present. If errors are found, engineers must
adjust the design, and run Auto Piping and System Check again.
When the design passes the checks, then the engineer prints out
a project “Shop Drawing” (LATS Tree Diagram) and provides it to
the installing contractor. The contractor must follow the LATS Tree
Diagram when building the piping system, but oftentimes the design
changes on the building site:
Figure 2: Example of a LATS Tree Diagram.
• Architect has changed location and/or purpose of room(s).
• Outdoor unit cannot be placed where originally intended.
• Structural elements prevent routing the piping as planned.
• Air conditioning system conflicts with other building systems
(plumbing, gas lines, etc.).
The contractor must mark any deviation from the design on the Shop Drawing, including as-built straight lines and elbows. This “Mark Up”
drawing must be returned to the design engineer or Rep, who must input contractor changes into the LATS file. (Copy the original LATS software file, save and rename as a separate file, and modify all piping lengths by double-clicking on each length and editing information.) Like
the shop drawing, the Auto Piping and System Check must also be run on this new “As Built” drawing. The design engineer or Rep must then
provide the final As Built file to the contractor. The Mark Up version must be compared to the As Built version for:
• Differences in pipe diameter(s). If incorrect diameters have been installed, the piping must be changed out. If pipe diameters have changed,
check to see if Y-Branches will also need to be changed.
• Changes to outdoor unit and indoor unit capacities. Capacities changes may impact line length changes.
• Additional refrigerant charge quantity (“Trim Charge”). Trim charge will change if piping lengths and diameters change. The As Built version
must reflect installed piping lengths to ensure correct trim charge.
MULTI V Wall-Mounted Indoor Unit Engineering Manual
All documents submitted by the contractor, as well as the Shop Drawing and the As Built Drawing files must be provided for commissioning
purposes. Model and serial numbers for all system components must also be submitted. If the steps previously detailed are not followed,
and all documents are not provided to the commissioning agent, the project runs the risk of not being commissioned and voiding any limited
warranty LG offers on the equipment.

Mechanical Specications
Casing
Units are designed to mount on a vertical surface and come complete with an installation mounting guide and a separate hanging
bracket. The unit case is manufactured with coated metal. Cold
surfaces are covered with a coated polystyrene insulating material.
Finish
The unit case has a light gray / silver matte finish. The front surface
of the unit has a flat glass panel and frame that can accommodate a
20″ x 20″ photograph, picture or artwork.
Fan Assembly and Control
The indoor unit has a single, direct-drive, turbo fan. The fan wheel
is made of high strength ABS HT-700 polymeric resin. The fan motor
is a Brushless Digitally Controlled (BLDC) design with permanently
lubricated and sealed ball bearings. The fan motor includes thermal,
overcurrent and low RPM protection. The fan/motor assembly is
mounted on vibration attenuating rubber grommets. The fan impeller
is statically and dynamically balanced. The fan speed is controlled
using a microprocessor-based, direct digital control algorithm that
provides a high fan speed in cooling thermal ON and low fan speed
in cooling thermal OFF, high fan speed in heating thermal ON and
fan off in heating thermal OFF. The fan speeds can be field adjusted
between low, medium, and high speeds. The fan speed algorithm
provides a field selectable, fixed-speed or auto-speed setting that
adjusts the fan speed to simulate natural airflow.
Air Filter
Return air is filtered with a removable, washable filter with anti-fungal treatment. Filter access is from the front of the unit without the
use of tools.
Airflow Guide Vanes
The indoor unit is provided with motorized sweeping guide vanes
that automatically change the direction of airflow from side-to-side
and up-and-down.
Microprocessor Control
The unit is provided with an integrated microprocessor controller capable of performing functions necessary to operate the system without the use of a wall-mounted controller. A temperature thermistor is
factory mounted in the return air stream. All unit operation param-
eters, excluding the operating schedule, are stored in non-volatile
memory resident on the unit microprocessor. Operating schedules
are stored in select models of the optional, wall-mounted, local or
central controllers. The field-supplied communication cable between
the indoor unit(s) and outdoor unit is to be a minimum of 18 AWG,
2 conductor, stranded, and shielded cable (RS-485), terminated via
screw terminals on the control boards. The microprocessor control
provides the following functions: auto addressing, self-diagnostics,
auto restart following power restoration, test run, and will operate the
indoor unit using one of five operation modes:
1. Auto Changeover (Heat Recovery only)
2. Heating
3. Cooling
4. Dry
5. Fan Only
For Heat Recovery systems the Auto Changeover setting automatically switches control of the indoor unit between Cooling and Heating
modes based on space temperature conditions. For Heat Pump
Due to our policy of continuous product innovation, some specications may change without notication.
control will activate indoor unit operation when the indoor room temperature
falls below set-point temperature.
At which point, a signal is sent to
the outdoor unit to begin the heating
cycle. The indoor unit fan operation
is delayed until coil pipe temperature
reaches 76°F. Significant airflow is
generated when pipe temperature
reaches 80°F. A field-selectable option maintains fan operation for
30 minutes following cooling cycle operations. The unit is equipped
with an infrared receiver designed to communicate with an LG
wireless remote controller. In lieu of wireless remote or factory return
air thermistor, screw terminals on the microprocessor circuit board
accommodate various models of wall-mounted local controllers.
The unit microprocessor is capable of accepting space temperature
readings concurrently or individually from either:
1. Wall-mounted wired controller(s)
2. Factory-mounted return air thermistor
A single indoor unit has the capability of being controlled by up to
two local wired controllers. The microprocessor controls space temperature using the value provided by the temperature sensor sensing
a space temperature that is farthest away from the temperature
set-point. The microprocessor control provides a cooling or heating
mode test cycle that operates the unit for eighteen (18) minutes
without regard to the space temperature. If the system is provided
with an optional wall-mounted local or central controller, displayed diagnostic codes are specific, alpha-numeric, and provide the service
technician with a reason for the code displayed.
Handling Condensate
The unit is designed for gravity draining of condensate. LG provides
a factory insulated flexible drain hose. If condensate lift/pumps are
needed for the application, they are to be field provided.
Condensate Drain Pan
The condensate drain pan is constructed of expandable polystyrene
resin (EPS).
Coil
The indoor unit coil is constructed with grooved design copper tubes
with slit coil fins, two (2) rows, eighteen (18) fins per inch.

that automatically changes the direction of up-and-down airflow.
The indoor unit includes factory installed, manually adjustable guide
vanes that control the side-to-side direction of supplied airflow.
operation parameters, excluding the operating schedule, are
stored in non-volatile memory resident on the unit microprocessor.
Operating schedules are stored in select models of the optional,
wall-mounted, local or central controllers. The field-supplied communication cable between the indoor unit(s) and outdoor unit is to be
a minimum of 18 AWG, 2 conductor, stranded, and shielded cable
(RS-485), terminated via screw terminals on the control boards.
The microprocessor control provides the following functions: auto
addressing, self-diagnostics, auto restart following power restoration,
test run, and will operate the indoor unit using one of five operation
modes:
1. Auto Changeover (Heat Recovery only)
2. Heating
3. Cooling
4. Dry
5. Fan Only
For Heat Recovery systems the Auto Changeover setting automatically switches control of the indoor unit between Cooling and Heating
modes based on space temperature conditions.
For Heat Pump systems, heated or cooled air delivery is dependent
upon outdoor unit operating mode. In Heating mode, the microprocessor control will activate indoor unit operation when the indoor
room temperature falls below set-point temperature. At which point,
a signal is sent to the outdoor unit to begin the heating cycle. The indoor unit fan operation is delayed until coil pipe temperature reaches
76°F. Significant airflow is generated when pipe temperature reaches
80°F. A field-selectable option maintains fan operation for 30 minutes
following cooling cycle operations. The unit is equipped with an infrared receiver designed to communicate with an LG wireless remote
controller. In lieu of wireless remote or factory return air thermistor,
screw terminals on the microprocessor circuit board accommodate
various models of wall-mounted local controllers. The unit microprocessor is capable of accepting space temperature readings concurrently or individually from either:

A single indoor unit has the capability of being controlled by up to
two local wired controllers. The microprocessor controls space temperature using the value provided by the temperature sensor sensing
a space temperature that is farthest away from the temperature
set-point. The microprocessor control provides a cooling or heating
mode test cycle that operates the unit for 18 minutes without regard
to the space temperature. If the system is provided with an optional
