SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION - CONTINUED
Don’t store or use ammable gas / combustibles near the unit.
There is risk of product failure, re, explosion, and physical injury or death.
It may result in an accident that causes product damage or personal injury or death.
When installing the unit in a low-lying area, or a location that is not level, use a raised concrete pad or concrete blocks to provide a solid, level foundation.
This may prevent water damage and reduce abnormal vibration.
Properly insulate all cold surfaces to prevent “sweating.”
Cold surfaces such as uninsulated piping can generate condensate that
may drip and cause a slippery oor condition and / or water damage to
walls.
Periodically check that the outdoor frame is not damaged.
There is a risk of equipment damage, explosion, physical injury, or death.
Do not change the settings of the protection devices.
If the pressure switch, thermal switch, or other protection device is shorted and forced to operate improperly, or parts other than those
specied by LG are used, there is risk of re, electric shock, explosion,
and physical injury or death.
Replace all control box and panel covers.
If cover panels are not installed securely, dust, water and animals may enter the water source unit, causing re, electric shock, and physical in­jury or death.
Always check for system refrigerant leaks after the unit has been installed or serviced.
Low refrigerant levels may cause product failure, and exposure to high concentration levels of refrigerant gas may lead to illness or death. Keep the unit upright during installation to avoid vibration or water leakage.
Don’t install the unit where it’s directly exposed to ocean winds.
Ocean winds may cause corrosion, particularly on the condenser and
evaporator ns, which, in turn could cause product malfunction or inef­cient performance.
When installing the unit in a hospital, mechanical room, or
similar electromagnetic eld (EMF) sensitive environment, provide sufcient protection against electrical noise.
Inverter equipment, power generators, high-frequency medical equip­ment, or radio communication equipment may cause the air conditioner to operate improperly. The unit may also affect such equipment by creating electrical noise that disturbs medical treatment or image broadcasting.
Do not use the product for special purposes such as preserving foods, works of art, wine coolers, or other precision air conditioning applications. The equipment is designed to provide comfort cooling and heating.
There is risk of property damage.
Do not make refrigerant substitutions. Use R410A only.
If a different refrigerant is used, or air mixes with original refrigerant, the unit will malfunction and be damaged.
When connecting refrigerant tubing, remember to allow for pipe expansion.
Improper piping may cause refrigerant leaks and system malfunction.
Do not install the unit in a noise sensitive area.
Take appropriate actions at the end of HVAC equipment life to recover, recycle, reclaim or destroy R410A refrigerant according to applicable U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rules.

GENERAL DATA

R410A Refrigerant

R410A Refrigerant
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. Many countries have approved of and encouraged R410A for use as an environment friendly refrigerant.
To prevent the refrigerant cylinder from exploding, do not place it in direct sunlight.
Do not use any piping that has not been approved for use in high-pressure refrigerant systems.
To prevent the piping from softening, do not heat it more than necessary during installation.
Piping wall thickness must comply with the applicable local, state, and federal codes for the 551 psi design pressure of R410A.
Because R410A is a combination of R32 and R125, the required additional refrigerant must be charged in its liquid state. If the refrig-
erant is charged in its gaseous state, its composition changes and the system will not work properly.

GENERAL INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
DANGER
Location Selection
Selecting the Best Location
To avoid the possibility of fire, do not install the unit in an area where combustible gas may generate, flow, stagnate, or leak.
Do not install the unit in a location where acidic solution and spray (sulfur) are often used.
Do not use the unit in environments where oil, steam, or sulfuric gas are present.
Install a fence to prevent vermin from crawling into the unit or unauthorized individuals from accessing it.
Select a location for installing the outdoor unit that will meet the following conditions:
Where the unit will not be subjected to direct thermal radiation from other heat sources.
Where operating sound from the unit will not disturb inhabitants of surrounding buildings.
Where the unit will not be exposed to direct, strong winds.
Where there is enough strength to bear the weight of the unit.
Include space for drainage to ensure condensate flows properly out of the unit when it is in heating mode.
Include enough space for air flow and for service access.
To ensure the outdoor unit operates properly, certain measures are required in locations where there is a possibility of heavy snowfall or severe windchill or cold:
1. Prepare for severe winter wind chills and heavy snowfall, even in areas of the country where these are unusual phenomena.
2. Position the outdoor unit so that its airflow fans are not buried by direct, heavy snowfall. If snow piles up and blocks the airflow, the system may malfunction.
3. Remove any snow that has accumulated 3-15/16 inches or more on the top of the outdoor unit.
4. Place the outdoor unit on a raised platform at least 19-11/16 inches higher than the average annual snowfall for the area. In environments where there is a possibility of heavy snow, the frame height must be more than two (2) times the amount of average annual snowfall, and should not exceed the width of the outdoor unit. If the frame width is wider than the outdoor unit, snow may accumulate.
5. Install a snow protection hood.
6. To prevent snow and heavy rain from entering the outdoor unit, install the suction and discharge ducts facing away from direct winds.
7. Additionally, the following conditions should be taken into considerations when the unit operates in defrost mode:
If the outdoor unit is installed in a highly humid environment (near an ocean, lake, etc.), ensure that the site is well-ventilated and has a lot
of natural light. (Example: Install on a rooftop.)
Sidewalks or parking lots near the outdoor unit may accumulate moisture after unit operates in defrost mode that can turn to ice.
The indoor unit may take longer to provide heat, or heating performance will be reduced in winter if the unit is installed:
1. In a narrow, shady location.
2. Near a location that has a lot of ground moisture.
3. In a highly humid environment.
4. In an area in which condensate does not drain properly.
Ambient Air Conditions
Avoid exposing the outdoor unit to steam, combustible gases, or other corrosive elements.
Avoid exposing the unit to discharge from boiler stacks, chimneys, steam relief ports, other air conditioning units, kitchen vents, plumbing
vents, or substances that may degrade performance or cause damage to the unit.
When installing multiple outdoor units, avoid placing the units where discharge of one outdoor unit will blow into the inlet side of an adja-
cent unit.
Avoid exposing the unit to sources of extreme temperature or gases to prevent serious bodily injury.

Oceanside Applications

Oceanside Applications
Use of a Windbreak to Shield from Sea Wind
Ocean winds may cause corrosion, particularly on the condenser and
evaporator ns, which, in turn could cause product malfunction or inefcient performance.
The unit should be installed in a soundproofed mechanical room.
Avoid installing the outdoor unit where it would be directly exposed
to ocean winds.
Install the outdoor unit on the side of the building opposite from
direct ocean winds.
Select a location with good drainage.
Periodically clean dust or salt particles off of the heat exchanger
with water.
If the outdoor unit must be placed in a location where it would
be subjected to direct ocean winds, install a concrete windbreak strong enough to block any winds.
Windbreak should be more than 150% of the outdoor unit’s height.
There must be 2ft and 3 1/2 inches clearance between the outdoor unit and the windbreaker for purposes of air flow.

Additional anti-corrosion treatment may need to be applied to the outdoor unit at oceanside locations.
Oceanside Applications
Use of a Building to Shield from Sea Wind
If a windbreak is not possible, a building or larger structure must be used to shield the outdoor unit from direct exposure to the sea wind. The unit should be placed on the side of the building directly opposite to the direction of the wind as shown in Figure 2.

General Mounting
Securely attach the outdoor unit to a condenser pad, base rails, or another mounting platform that is securely anchored to the ground or building structure. Attach the outdoor unit with a bolt and nut on a concrete or rigid mount. See Figure 3. Follow applicable local codes for clearance, mounting, anchor and vibration attenuation require­ments.
All referenced materials are to be eld-supplied. Images are not to scale.
Mounting Platform
The underlying structure or foundation must be designed to support the weight of the unit. Avoid placing the unit in a low lying area where water may accumulate. When installing the outdoor unit on the wall, or roof top, anchor the mounting base securely to account for wind, earthquake or vibration.
Tie-Downs and Wind Restraints
The strength of the Duct-free Split Single Zone Inverter system frame is adequate to be used with field-provided wind restraint tie­downs. The overall tie-down configuration must be approved by a local professional engineer. Always refer to local code when design­ing a wind restraint system.
Figure 3: Outdoor Unit Mounting Methods
Snow and Ice Conditions
In climates that experience snow build-up, place the unit on a raised platform to ensure condenser airflow. The raised support platform must be high enough to allow the unit to remain above possible snow drifts. Mount the unit on a field-provided snow stand at a minimum height that is equal to the average annual snowfall plus 20 inches. Design the mounting base to prevent snow accumulation on the platform in front or back of the unit case. If necessary, provide a field fabricated hood to keep snow and ice and/or drifting snow from accumulating on the coil surfaces. Use inlet and discharge duct or hoods to prevent snow or rain from accumulating on the fan inlet and outlet guards. Best practice prevents snow from accumulating on top of the unit. Consider tie-down requirements in case of high winds or where required by local codes.
When deciding on a location to place the outdoor unit, be sure to choose an area where run-off from defrost will not accumulate and freeze on sidewalks or driveways.

Required Clearances

Proper airflow through the Single Zone outdoor unit coil is critical for correct unit operation. When installing, consider service, inlet and outlet, and minimum allowable space requirements as illustrated in the diagrams below.
Minimum Clearance Requirements for Single Zone
Outdoor Unit Clearance
Specific clearance requirements in the diagram below are for the single zone wall mount systems. Figure 4 shows the overall minimum clearances that must be observed for safe operation and adequate airflow around the outdoor unit.
When placing the outdoor unit under an overhang, awning, sunroof or other “roof-like structure, observe the clearance requirements (as shown in Figure 5) for height in relation to the unit. This clearance ensures that heat radiation from the condenser is not restricted around the unit.
Adhere to all clearance requirements if installing the unit on a roof. Be sure to level the unit and ensure that the unit is adequately anchored. Consult local codes for rooftop mounting requirements. Figure 4: Outdoor Unit Clearances
Figure 5: Outdoor Unit Sunroof/Awning Clearances
Do not place the unit where animals and/or plants will be in the path of the warm air, or where the warm air and/or noise will disturb neighbors.
Indoor Unit Clearance
Follow recommended best practices when choosing an indoor loca­tion for the Single Zone indoor unit.
Keep unit away from any indoor steam or excessive heat.
No obstacles should be placed around unit.
Condensation drain (Leakage piping) should be routed away from
the unit.
Do not install near doorway.
Clearance gap between any wall or enclosure and the left or right
side of the unit must be greater than 4 inches.
From the top of the unit to the ceiling there must greater than 8
inches of clearance.
• Unit should be at least 6.5 feet from the oor for adequate clearance.
