LG SIMS - Self Diagnosis Functions

The SIMs WLAN module and the smart phone app together provide monitoring and troubleshooting
capability for LG Duct Free Systems. SIMs functions only with LG Duct Free products (Figure 66).
SIMs can display and graph operational data for the air conditioner system including the indoor unit
and the outdoor unit. SIMs also displays error codes and a troubleshooting guide. A full copy of
the LG SIMs Smart Inverter Monitoring System User's Manual is available on the www.lghvac.com
website.
To use SIMs you must be a trained HVAC service technician familiar with variable refrigerant
flow (VRF) systems in general and with LG's Duct Free System products. You should under-
stand the inverter air conditioning operation cycle, the meaning of the data displayed by SIMs,
and how to use the data to troubleshoot the system.
Figure 67 shows a typical Multi F configuration used with the SIMs module and app.
High voltages capable of causing death are used in
this equipment. Outdoor unit power remains connected
during this procedure. Take extreme caution not to
touch electrical components or connections. Failure to
observe this warning can result in death or severe injury.
Note:
• The Duct Free System air conditioning system must run for
at least 15–20 minutes before data collected by SIMs 2.0 is
valid for troubleshooting.
• You must have the free SIMs app correctly installed on your
smart phone before using SIMs.
• Some ODUs have an LGMV extension cable accessed by
removing the side handle cover. If the ODU does not have
this extension cable, access the LGMV connector by remov-
ing the top cover of the ODU.
