INTRODUCTION
WARNING
Gallery and Wall-Mounted Indoor
Units
This manual describes how to install LG Art Cool™ Gallery, Standard, and Art Cool™ Mirror Wall-Mounted indoor units (IDU) for Multi
V Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) heat pump and heat recovery
systems. Table 1 lists the available models. Refer to LG’s Multi V
Indoor Unit Engineering Manual for complete detailed engineering
data and selection procedures.
Safety
Safety of personnel is the primary concern during all procedures.
Read and understand the safety summary at the front of this manual.
Read and understand this installation procedure before beginning
installation. Use the appropriate tools and accessories during installation. Plan your work and do not work alone, if possible. Know how
to obtain emergency medical and fire fighting assistance.
Installation Personnel
This equipment is intended for installation by personnel trained
in the required construction, mechanical, electrical, and/or other
disciplines.
Applicable Codes
Personnel must be familiar with and follow the applicable national,
state, and/or local codes. In the event of a conflict between any
applicable code and the instructions in this manual, comply with the
applicable code.
Figure 1: Art Cool Gallery (Gen 4) Indoor Unit.
Figure 2: Standard Wall-Mounted Indoor Unit.
Figure 3: Art Cool Mirror Wall-Mounted Indoor Unit.
Installation work must be performed by trained personnel and in accordance with national wiring standards and all local or other applicable
Multi V Wall-Mounted Indoor Unit
codes. Improper installation can result in re, electric shock, physical
injury, or death and can prevent proper operation of the unit.
Note:
Please read all instructions before installing this product. Become familiar
with the unit’s components and connections, and the order of installation.
Incorrect installation can degrade or prevent proper operation.

R410A refrigerant has a higher operating pressure in comparison to R22 refrigerant and, therefore, all piping system materials installed must
have a higher resisting pressure than the materials traditionally used in R22 systems.
R410A refrigerant is an azeotrope of R32 and R125, mixed at 50:50, so the ozone depletion potential (ODP) is 0.
Do not place refrigerant cylinder in direct sunlight. Refrigerant cylinder may explode causing severe injury or death.
Note
• Because R410A is a combination of R32 and R125, the required additional refrigerant must be charged in its liquid state. If the refrigerant is
charged in its gaseous state, its composition changes and the system will not work properly.
• Do not heat piping more than necessary during installation. Piping may become soft and fail when pressurized.
• Do not use any piping that has not been approved for use in high-pressure refrigerant systems. Piping wall thickness must comply with
the applicable local, state, and federal codes for the 551 psi design pressure of R410A. Inadequate piping may fail when pressurized.
Refrigerant Safety
Verify the maximum refrigerant concentration level in the space where the indoor unit will be mounted meets the concentration limit for the application.
ASHRAE Standards 15-2010 and 34-2010 offer guidelines that address refrigerant safety and the maximum allowable concentration of
refrigerant in an occupied space. Refrigerant will dissipate into the atmosphere, but a certain volume of air is required for this to occur safely.
For R410A refrigerant, the maximum allowable concentration of refrigerant is twenty-six (26) lbs. per 1,000 cubic feet of an occupied space.
Buildings with twenty-four (24) hour occupancy allow half of that concentration.
ASHRAE Standards 15 and 34 assume that if a system develops a leak, its entire refrigerant charge will dump into the area where the leak
occurs. To meet ASHRAE Standards 15 and 34, calculate the refrigerant concentration that may occur in the smallest room volume on the
system, and compare the results to the maximum allowable concentration number.1 Also consult state and local codes in regards to refrigerant safety.
