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 the 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.

Verify the maximum refrigerant concentration in the space where the indoor unit will be mounted meets the concentration limit
allowed by ASHRAE Standards 15-2010 and 34-2010. There is danger of asphyxiation from oxygen displacement.
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.

Do not braze in an enclosed location. Do not allow the refrigerant to
leak during brazing. Always test for gas leaks before and after brazing.
• If refrigerant combusts, it generates a toxic gas.
Note:
• Do not use kinked pipe.
Braze the pipe to the service valve pipe stub of the outdoor unit. After brazing,
check for refrigerant gas leaks. When selecting flare fittings, always use a 45°
fitting rated for high-pressure refrigerant R410A. Fittings must also comply with
local, state, and federal standards.
Creating a Flare Fitting
One of the main causes of refrigerant leaks is defective flared connections. Use
the following procedure to create flared connections.
1. Determine the installation location. Ensure the location has enough space to
allow necessary duct connections and maintenance access.
• Measure the distance between the indoor unit and the outdoor unit.
• Cut the pipes a little longer than measured distance.

• ALWAYS create a 45° are when working with R410A.
4. Carefully inspect the ared pipe end.
• Compare the geometry with the gure to the right.
• If the are is defective, cut it off and re-do procedure.
• If are looks good, blow the pipe clean with dry nitrogen.
1. When connecting the are nuts, coat the are (inside and outside) with polyvinyl ether (PVE) refrigeration oil only.
Note:
• Do not use polyolyester (POE) or any other type of mineral oil as a lubricant. These lubricants are not compatible with PVE oil used in this system and create oil sludge leading to equipment damage and system malfunction..
2. Initially hand tighten the are nuts using three (3) or four (4) turns.
3. To nish tightening the are nuts, use both a torque wrench and a backup wrench.
4. After all the piping has been connected and the caps have been tightened, check for refrigerant gas leaks
Pipes used for the refrigerant piping system must include the specified thickness,
and the interior must be clean. While handling and storing, do not bend or damage
the pipes, and take care not to contaminate the interior with dust, moisture, etc.
Keep refrigerant pipe dry, clean, and airtight.

Brazing
1
Note:
It is imperative to keep the piping system free of contaminants and debris such as copper burrs, slag, or carbon dust during installation.
1. All joints are brazed in the field. Multi V IV refrigeration system components contain very small capillary tubes, small orifices, electronic
expansion valves, oil separators, and heat exchangers that can easily become blocked. Proper system operation depends on the
installer using best practices and utmost care while assembling the piping system.
• Store pipe stock in a dry place and keep stored pipe capped and clean.
• Purge all pipe sections clean with dry nitrogen prior to assembly.
2. Proper system operation depends on the installer using best practices and the utmost care while assembling the piping system.
• Use adapters to assemble different sizes of pipe.
• Always use a non-oxidizing material for brazing. Do not use ux, soft solder, or anti-oxidant agents. If the proper material is not used,
Multi V Ducted Indoor Units
oxidized lm may accumulate and clog or damage the compressors. Flux can harm the copper piping or refrigerant oil.
• Use a tubing cutter; do not use a saw to cut pipe. De-bur and clean all cuts before assembly.
3. Brazing joints:
• Use a dry nitrogen purge operating at a minimum pressure of three (3) psig and maintain a steady ow.
• Use a 15% silver phosphorous copper brazing alloy to avoid overheating and produce good ow.
• Protect isolation valves, electronic expansion valves, and other heat-sensitive control components from excessive heat with a wet rag or
heat barrier spray.

Indoor units come with flare type connections. It is the installer’s option to use the flare fittings provided or braze the indoor unit to the
refrigerant piping system.
Flare Fittings
• All unit are ttings are 45° and rate for high-pressure R410A refrigerant.
• Properly form all are ttings using best practices.
• Place a drop of PVE oil on the outside of the are tting before
tightening.
Figure 24: Typical Refrigerant Line Flare Fitting Insulation Detail
Installation Manual
Note:
• Do not use any other type of oil (including traditional POE refrigeration oil) as a lubricant. Failure to follow this procedure may lead to
restrictions in the refrigeration components.
• Do not over-tighten flare nuts. Excessive tightening will cause
fittings to crack.
Note:
Multi V refrigeration system components contain very small capillary
tubes, small orices, electronic expansion valves, oil separators, and
heat exchangers that can easily become blocked.
Insulate Refrigerant Pipes
Sufficiently insulate all cold surfaces to prevent moisture forming. All
pipes must be insulated and each pipe must be separately wrapped.
Refer to Figure 24 and Figure 25. Use field-provided one-half (1/2)
inch thick (or thicker) closed-cell insulation. The thickness may need
to be increased based on ambient conditions and local codes.
Wrap all refrigerant and condensate piping including field-provided
isolation ball valves and flexible pipe connection kits provided by LG.
Glue all insulation joints with no air gaps between insulation segments, and between insulation segments and the unit case. Ensure
insulation material fits snugly against the refrigeration pipe with no air
space between the pipe surface and the surrounding insulation.
Figure 25: No Air Gap in Pipe Insulation to Indoor Unit Frame.
Protect insulation inside hangers and supports with a second insulation layer. Ensure insulation on all pipe passing through pipe hangers,
inside conduit, and/or sleeves is not compressed.
Due to our policy of continuous product innovation, some specifications may change without notification.
All ducted indoor units except the vertical air handler have a factorymounted condensate pump that runs continuously while the unit is in
cooling mode. The pump has an internal high-level float switch that
stops the unit if the water level in the pan rises too high.
All ducted indoor units have a flexible drain hose kit and one or two
clamps. The hose can be used to connect the condensate pipe to
the condensate pump connection. On high-static units, there is the
option to directly connect a one (1) inch FPT fitting to the drain pan’s
gravity drain connection.

Condensate Pump Connection
All ducted units have a condensate pump except the vertical air handler unit. Note the following when connecting the condensate pipe to the unit.
• Indoor units DO NOT come with check valves or a backow prevention device. If check valves are needed, they must be eld supplied.
• The maximum lift of all condensate pumps is 27 in.-wg.
• Measure lift distance from the bottom surface of the indoor unit, NOT from the condensate pipe connection.
• Slope all horizontal condensate pipe segments a minimum of 1/4 inch per foot away from the indoor unit.
Ducted Unit Drain Information
When the bottom surface of the indoor unit is at an elevation below
the receiving building drain line connection, install an inverted trap at
the top of the condensate pump discharge riser before connection to
the building drain pipe.
Figure 26: High Static, Low Static, Built In Ducted Indoor Unit Drain
Pump to Drain Piping System
When the receiving drain line is mounted horizontal, connect the
inverted trap to the top half of the pipe. The connection point of the
inverted trap to the building drain pipe should always be to the top
half of the pipe and should never be over 45° either side of the upper
Multi V Ducted Indoor Units
most point of the horizontal building drain line.
If connecting to a vertical drain line or plumbing system vent line,
connect the IDU condensate pump discharge line using a Y-45 fitting
with the double end of the Y-45 fitting facing up. When connecting to
a vertical drain line include an inverted trap at the top of the IDU condensate pump discharge riser before connection to the Y-45 fitting.
Gravity Condensate Pipe Connection
High-static indoor units (BH/BG/BR/B8) have an auxiliary gravity
condensate drain connection just below the condensate pump pipe
connection on the control panel end of the unit. This connection may
be used instead of using the condensate pump.
• Verify the unit is installed with a slight cant toward the gravity
drain connection.
• Remove the rubber plug before connecting the condensate line
to the indoor unit.
• The gravity condensate line must be equipped with a conden-
sate trap for proper condensate ow. Refer to Figure 26 for trap
details.
• All horizontal segments of condensate pipe should be sloped a
minimum of 1/4 inch per foot away from the indoor unit.

Indoor unit installation best practices are to connect control wiring (low voltage) and then connect power wiring (high voltage).
Do not apply power to the indoor unit or any Multi V system component until authorized to do so by the system commissioning
agent.
High voltage electricity is required to operate this system. Adhere to the National Electrical Codes and these
instructions when wiring.
Improper connections and inadequate grounding can cause accidental injury or death.
Always ground the unit following local, state, and National Electrical Codes.
Improper connections and inadequate grounding can cause accidental injury or death.
Properly size all circuit breakers or fuses.
There is risk of re, electric shock, explosion, physical injury or death.
The information contained in this manual is intended for use by a trained electrician familiar with applicable
local codes and the U.S. National Electric Code (NEC), and who is equipped with the proper tools and test
instruments.
Failure to carefully read and follow all instructions in this manual can result in personal injury or death.
Connect the indoor unit input power cable but do not apply power to the indoor unit until authorized to do so
by the system commissioning agent.
Inappropriate power connection can result in personal injury or death.
Ensure the unit is connected to a dedicated power source that provides adequate power.
If the power source capacity is inadequate or the electric work is not performed properly, it may result in re, electric shock, physical
injury or death.
Refer to local, state, and federal codes, and use power wires of sufcient current capacity and rating.
Wires that are too small may generate heat and cause a re, resulting in physical injury or death.
Multi V Ducted Indoor Units
Secure all eld wiring connections with appropriate wire strain relief.
Improperly securing wires will create undue stress on equipment power lugs. Inadequate connections may generate heat, cause
a re and physical injury or death.
Properly tighten all power connections.
Loose wiring may overheat at connection points, causing a re, physical injury or death.
Note:
Connect the indoor unit input power cable but do not apply power to the indoor unit until authorized to do so
by the system commissioning agent.
Inappropriate power connection can result in equipment damage and will void the LG limited liability warranty.
Do not cut, lengthen or shorten the communications and power cable between a zone controller or dry contact
unit and its connected indoor unit. Do not install the zone controller or dry contact unit in a location where the
communications and power cable cannot be safely and easily connected between the two units. Do not allow
strain on this cable.
Poor cable connections can cause equipment malfunction.
The information contained in this manual is intended for use by an industry-qualied, experienced, trained
electrician familiar with applicable local codes and the U.S. National Electric Code (NEC), and who is
equipped with the proper tools and test instruments.
Failure to carefully read and follow all instructions in this manual can result in equipment malfunction or property damage and will
void the LG limited liability warranty.

Due to our policy of continuous product innovation, some specifications may change without notification.
Failure to follow any of these power and communications wiring guidelines or instructions will likely cause
communications errors and unit malfunction.
Polarity matters. When connecting the communications cable conductors at each Multi V system component, be careful the conductor connected to the IDU(A) terminal on the outdoor unit is connected to the
A/3(A) terminal at each indoor unit. The conductor connected to the IDU(B) terminal on the outdoor unit
must be connected to the B/4(B) terminals at each indoor unit. Cross connecting the A/3(A) and B/4(B)
terminals will cause communications errors and system malfunction.
Note:
The minimum distance required between power wires and the communications cable is voltage/amperage
dependent and in cases where either are relatively high the minimum distance may be more than two (2)
inches. Refer to the appropriate LG Multi V Outdoor Unit Engineering Manual on www.lg-vrf.com for detailed
information.
• Keep communications cables away from line voltage wiring, lighting ballasts, and other devices emitting EMF energy. Maintain a minimum of two (2) inches between line voltage wires and communications or zone controller cables.
• Field provide a minimum of 18-2 AWG, stranded and shielded, PVC or vinyl jacket communications
wiring between the indoor units, heat recovery boxes (if applicable), and outdoor units.
• The outdoor/indoor unit communications cable must be run between components in a daisy chain
conguration. Star or wye congurations are not allowed.
• Refer to the wiring connection diagrams for the appropriate unit (Figure 34 through Figure 40)
Connect the communications cables to the A/3(A) and B/4(B) terminals at indoor units and/or heat
recovery units. Maintain polarity throughout the communications bus. Be sure A/3(A) terminals are
connected to A/3(A) terminals and B/4(B) terminals are connected to B/4(B) terminals.
• Ground the shield of the communications cable at one end only, at the master outdoor unit.
WIRING
Installation Manual
Don’ts
• Never use wire caps and never splice communications cables.
• Star and Wye communications cable congurations are not acceptable.
• Never connect zone controllers or other central control products such as AC Smart, PDI, or LG building
management system gateway products to the IDU/ODU communications cable.
Communication Cable Connection
Note:
When connecting the communications bus between the outdoor unit, indoor unit(s), and heat recovery unit(s),
it does not matter what physical path or route the wire takes. The installer may use discretion when choosing
the order the components are connected to the communications bus, but must maintain the daisy chain and
polarity conguration.
1. If not already done so, read Connecting Power and Control Wiring on the previous page.
2. Remove a knock-out plug from the control box. Remember the communications cable and the power
cable must enter the control box through different knockouts.
3. Field-install a plastic or rubber grommet in the knockout hole to prevent wire chafng.
4. If using conduit, connect the conduit to the control box using field-provided fittings and industry bestpractice procedures.
5. Provide at least three (3) to four (4) inches of slack cable at each indoor unit.
6. Secure the communications cable to the inside surface of the control box using a field provide nylon
wire clamp.
7. Strip approximately half of an inch of insulation from each communications cable conductor. At each
indoor unit, insert the conductors under the terminal screw.
Due to our policy of continuous product innovation, some specifications may change without notification.

Read and understand all power-related DANGER and WARNING statements in this manual before working with power cables.
Ensure the power source is disconnected from the indoor unit’s power input cable before connecting the cable.
Improper connections and inadequate grounding can cause accidental injury or death.
Note:
Keep line voltage power away from the communications terminals. Line voltage power applied to the communications terminals will damage the
indoor unit control board and it will have to be replaced. Maintain a minimum of two (2) inches between line voltage wires and communications or
zone controller cables.
Size all eld provided electrical components per NEC and local code. Always use copper wire.
Power Wiring Instructions
1. If not already done so, read Connecting Power and Control Wiring on page 50.
2. Provide clean 208/60/1 power to the unit. Maximum acceptable power fluctuation range is 188 volts to
253 volts.
3. To access the power and communications terminal block on high-static ducted units (BH/BG/BR/B8)
and low-static built-in units (B3/B4), remove the control box cover.
4. To access the power and communications terminal block on low-static ducted units (L1/L2/L3), the
terminal block is behind the end panel of the case. Refer to Figure 19.
5. Remove a knock-out plug from the control box. Do not use the same knock-out as the communications and zone controller cables.
6. To prevent wire chafing, install a field-supplied plastic or rubber grommet in the hole just created by
removing the knock-out plug.
7. If using conduit, follow industry best practice procedures to connect the conduit to the control box
using field-provided fittings.
8. Provide enough slack wire at each indoor unit to connect to the terminal block without tension on the
wire. Route the wire through the conduit (if used) and into the control box. Be sure to keep a minimum
of two (2) inches of spacing between the power wiring and the communications wiring.
9. Secure power wiring to the inside surface of the control box using a field-provided nylon wire clamp.
10. If needed, secure the power wiring in appropriate locations outside the indoor unit to prevent damage
to the wire or injury to maintenance personnel.
11. Strip approximately half (1/2) of an inch of insulation from each of the power wire conductors. Tightly
crimp a spade connector to the Hot, Neutral and Ground Wires. Insert the spade connector under the
appropriate terminal block screw and tighten. Refer to Figure 34 through Figure 40 for details of the
terminal block wiring of the unit being installed.
12. Securely tighten the terminal screws to prevent the conductors from coming loose.

Optional Wall-Mounted Sensor and Controller
Wall-Mounted Sensor Installation
Proper indoor unit operation depends on the location of the room sensor. A good location will protect the zone controller from direct sunlight
and external local sources of water vapor, and heated or cooled air. If no mounting height was specified by the building designer, place the
handy box approximately fifty-five (55) inches above the finished floor.
• It may be necessary to use a handy box that is sized in metric units, depending on the controller model. Check with your LG representative
to verify which size of handy box is needed for the zone controller in question.
• Use only LG-supplied communications cable. Using eld-supplied cable may result in communications problems between the zone control-
ler and the indoor unit.
• Maintain the minimum distance required between the communications cable and power wiring. The minimum required space between
the two is dependent on the voltage of the power wiring. Refer to the appropriate Multi V Outdoor Unit Engineering Manual for minimum
distance specications.
Do not route power wiring and communications cables in the same conduit.
Do not cut the quick-connect plugs off or adjust the length of the cable. Keep the communications cable away from high voltage wires
and electromagnetic field (EMF) producing equipment.
Wall-Mounted Controller Installation
Since the room temperature sensor is inside the remote controller, the remote controller should be installed in a place away from direct sunlight, high humidity and direct supply of hot or cold air to maintain proper space temperature. Install the remote controller about 5 ft above
the floor in an area with good air circulation and an average temperature.
Do not install the remote controller where it can be affected by the following:
• Drafts or dead spots behind doors and in corners
• Hot or cold air from ducts
• Radiant heat from sun or appliances
• Concealed pipes and chimneys
• Uncontrolled areas such as an outside wall behind the remote controller
This remote controller is equipped with a seven segment LED display. For proper
display of the remote controller LEDs, the remote controller should be installed properly as shown below. The standard height is 4 - 5 ft from floor level.
1. Pull communications cable between the zone controller handy box (if used) and
the indoor unit. The wall-mounted zone controller comes with a thirty (33) foot
length of cable.
2. Store a minimal amount of cable in the handy box. Any additional cable should be
coiled and stored near the indoor unit control panel.
3. If additional cable length is needed, order a thirty-three (33) foot LG Wired Remote Group Control Extension cable (Model No. PZCWRC1).
4. If the cable between the zone controller and the indoor unit is too long, do not cut the cable and shorten. Coil any spare communications
cable, tie-wrap it, and leave it next to the indoor unit location.

The method and configuration of controlling the indoor unit will vary according to your system’s requirements.
• It is possible to control up to 16 indoor units with one wired remote controller.
• Set only one indoor unit in a group to master; set the others to slave.
• This indoor unit can be connected in a control group with any other types of LG indoor units.
• It is possible to use a wireless remote controller at the same time as the wall controller.
• It is possible to connect a dry contact and central controller at the same time (to a master indoor unit only).
• A central controller can control all indoor units in a group by controlling the master unit of the group.
• Slave indoor units can not be individually controlled by the central controller.
DIP Switch Settings
Refer to Figure 52. If the indoor unit is a master, set switch 3 of the indoor unit’s DIP switch to Off. If the indoor unit is a slave, set switch 3 of
the indoor unit’s DIP switch to On.

Figure 53, Figure 54, and Figure 55 show examples of typical control configurations. Figure 53 shows one wired remote controller configured
as a Master to control a group of indoor units. Figure 54 shows two wired remote controllers, one configured as a Master and the other as a
Slave. Figure 55 shows a system with indoor units and fresh air units configured as two groups, each with a Master wired controller. Configure the fresh air units as one group and the standard indoor units as another group. Figure 56 shows both a correct and an incorrect control
configuration for this type of mixed unit system.
