LG Smart AC

This manual describes how to install and use the

LG Smart AC Models PCRCUDT2/PCRCUDT3. LG Smart AC consists of a hardware Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) module, and a free smartphone application (app). The user must supply the smartphone; either an Apple® iPhone or an Android® phone. LG Smart AC is not opti-

mized for tablets.

LG Smart AC will also be referred to as Smart AC in this manual.

Before using Smart AC, you must download and install the latest version of the free LG Smart AC app from either the App store (iOS) or the Play store (Android).

Figure 1 shows the Smart AC app and WLAN module communicating through the home setup wireless network. Direct communication to the WLAN module occurs during initial registration.

Figure 2 shows the Smart AC app communicating through a

remote internet access back to the LG duct-free system.

The hardware WLAN module and the smartphone app together

provide monitoring and remote control capabilities for LG duct-free

systems. Smart AC functions only with certain models of the LG duct-free system products. This product is intended for customers of DFS systems, that wish to control their indoor inverter units within their home or remotely at other locations (provided they have wireless connection) through the LG Smart module.

Some functionality of the Smart AC App may be limited due to the duct-free

single zone model. Check your owner’s manual for your model’s capabilities.
