The instructions below must be followed to prevent product malfunction, property damage, injury or death to the user or other people. Incorrect operation due to ignoring any instructions will cause harm or damage. The level of seriousness is classified by the symbols described
below.
TABLE OF SYMBOLS
This symbol indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or
serious injury.
This symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or
serious injury.
This symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or
moderate injury.
Note:
Safety of personnel is the primary concern during all procedures. Read and understand this safety summary. Read and understand the 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.
Do not use or store ammable gas or combustibles near the unit.
There is risk of re, explosion, and physical injury or death.
This symbol indicates situations that may result in equipment or property damage accidents only.
This symbol indicates an action that should not be performed.
Communications Manager
TM
Disconnect power before installing or servicing the unit.
There is risk of physical injury or death due to electric shock.
Properly size all circuit breakers or fuses.
There is risk of re, electric shock, explosion, physical injury, or death.
LG MultiSITE
Do not share the electrical circuit with other devices.
There is risk of re, electric shock, physical injury, or death due to heat generation.
Do not use damaged or loose power wiring. Do not modify or extend the outdoor unit’s power wiring randomly. Ensure
that the power wiring will not be pulled nor weight be placed on the power wiring during operation.
There is risk of re, electric shock, and physical injury or death.

Due to our policy of continuous product innovation, some specifications may change without notification.
The information contained in this manual is intended for use by an industry-qualied, experienced, trained electrician familiar
with local, national, and regional codes 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.
All electric work must be performed by a licensed electrician and conform to local building codes or, in the absence of
local codes, with the National Electrical Code, and the instructions given in this manual.
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.
Use copper conductors only. 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, cause a re and physical injury or death.
Before making power terminations during earth grounding, de-energize the 24V power source. Do not restore power until
completing all other mounting and wiring.
There is risk of electric shock and physical injury or death.
Installation Manual
Install in a controlled environment relatively free of contaminants.
There is risk of electric shock and physical injury or death.
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.
Ensure the system 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.
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 specied by
LG are used, there is risk of re, electric shock, explosion, and physical injury or death.
Properly tighten all power connections.
Loose wiring may overheat at connection points, causing a re, physical injury or death.
Dispose of any packing materials safely.
• Packing materials, such as nails and other metal or wooden parts may cause puncture wounds or other injuries.
• Tear apart and throw away plastic packaging bags so that children may not play with them and risk suffocation and death.
Do not install the MultiSITE Communications Manager unit if it will be exposed to rain or other precipitation. Do not
install the unit in a location exposed to open ame or extreme heat. Do not touch the unit with wet hands.
There is risk of re, electric shock, physical injury, and/or death.

Failure to carefully read and follow all instructions in this manual can result in equipment malfunction or property damage.
Disconnect power before installing or servicing the unit.
There is risk of equipment damage or degraded performance.
MultiSITE Communications Manager is for use with select LG air conditioning systems only. Do not attempt to use this unit
with any other type of system.
There is risk of equipment damage or degraded performance.
Clean up the site after all procedures are nished, and check that no metal scraps, screws, or bits of wiring have been left
inside or surrounding the controller or indoor units.
Do not allow water, dirt, or animals to enter the controller.
There is risk of unit failure or degraded performance.

Do not spill water or other liquid on the inside of the controller. Do not drop the controller into water. If the unit is
immersed in water or other liquid, contact your local authorized LG distributor for support.
There is risk of unit failure or degraded performance.
Remove all power to controller before attaching (plug in) or detaching (unplug) any option module.
There is risk of possible equipment damage.
LG MultiSITE
Do not remove the controller’s cover.
No congurable or user-serviceable items (such as jumpers or a battery) require cover removal. All items are accessible as switches and connectors
on the unit’s top, bottom, and side, or behind the unit’s front access door or microSD card shutter.
This device is only intended for use as a monitoring and control device. Do not use it for any other purpose.
There is risk of data loss or equipment damage.
Before removing or inserting the microSD card, disconnect all power to the controller and use static discharge precautions.
There is risk of equipment damage.
The MultiSITE Communications Manager controller is not compatible with a Power-Over-Ethernet (POE) network. Do not
connect the controller on a network segment which carries power.
The unit may fail.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and
2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates,
uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy. If the equipment is not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on,
the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Canadian Department of Communications (DOC)
This device complies with Industry Canada License-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1) this
device may not cause interference, and 2)this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain ap-
