Safety Instructions - Installation
CAUTION
Be very careful when transporting the product. There is a risk of the product falling and
causing physical injury.
Use appropriate moving equipment to transport each frame; ensure the equipment is capa-
ble of supporting the weight of the equipment.
Dispose the 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.
Install the unit considering the potential for
strong winds or earthquakes.
Improper installation may cause the unit to fall
over, resulting in physical injury or death.
Do not make refrigerant substitutions. Use
R-410A only.
If a different refrigerant is used, or air mixes
with original refrigerant, the unit will malfunc-
tion and be damaged.
Keep the unit upright during installation to
avoid vibration or water leakage.
When connecting refrigerant tubing, remem-
ber to allow for pipe expansion.
Improper piping may cause refrigerant leaks
and system malfunction.
Do not install the outdoor unit in a
noise-sensitive area. Periodically check that
the outdoor frame is not damaged.
There is a risk of equipment damage.
Safety Instructions - Wiring
Always ground the unit following local, state,
and NEC codes.
There is risk of fire, electric shock, and physical
injury or death.
All electric work must be performed by a
licensed electrician and conform to local build-
ing codes or, in the absence of local codes,
with the NEC, 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 fire, electric shock, physical injury
or death.
Secure all field wiring connections with appro-
priate wire strain relief.
Improperly securing wires will create undue
stress on equipment power lugs. Inadequate
connections may generate heat, cause a fire
and physical injury or death.
Install the unit in a safe location where
nobody can step on or fall onto it.
install the unit on a defective stand.
It may result in an accident that causes physical
injury or death.
Properly insulate all cold surfaces to prevent
"sweating."
Cold surfaces such as uninsulated piping can
generate condensate that could drip, causing a
slippery surface that creates a risk of slipping,
falling, and personal injury.
Install the unit in a safe location where
nobody can step on or fall onto it.
install the unit on a defective stand.
There is a risk of unit and property damage.
Install the drain hose to ensure adequate
drainage.
There is a risk of water leakage and property
damage.
Do not store or use flammable gas /
combustibles near the unit.
There is a risk of product failure.
Properly size all circuit breakers or fuses.
There is risk of fire, electric shock, explosion,
physical injury or death.
Properly tighten all power lugs.
Loose wiring may overheat at connection
points, causing a fire, physical injury or death.
Do not change the settings of the protec-
tion devices.
If the pressure switch, thermal switch, or other
protection devices are bypassed or forced to
work improperly, or parts other than those
specified by LG are used, there is risk of fire,
electric shock, explosion, and physical injury or
death.

Summary of Contents for LG Multi F

  • Page 1 The installation guide is NOT intended to be a replacement for LG installation manuals, nor is it intended to cover ALL the logistics of operating and maintenance of LG systems. For detailed information on the procedures mentioned here, refer to the installation manual specific to your product.
  • Page 2 Louver • If the rules for installing Multi F / Multi F MAX outdoor units (either outside or inside) are not followed correctly, a drop in outdoor unit fan perfor- mance and / or noise can occur, or if there is insufficient air flow exchange, the system could stop operating.
  • Page 3: Mounting Options

    Multi F System Piping Multi F outdoor units have two (2), three (3), or four (4) sets (one vapor and one liquid) of flare-type piping connections. Number of connections will differ depending on outdoor unit. Field-installed piping directly links one set of outdoor unit connections to one indoor unit.
  • Page 4 ACR-rated, seamless phosphorous deoxidized copper (UNS C12200 DHP class) rated at the system working pressure is the only approved refrig- erant pipe material for LG Multi F / Multi F MAX products. Approved piping will be marked “R-410A rated” along the length of the tube.
  • Page 5 (follow all local, sate, and national requirements). Insulate all piping separately. If improperly insulated, condensate may form on the outside of the piping and water damage within building may occur, the Multi F / Multi F MAX system will lose capacity, or heat may move from the Multi F / Multi F MAX system to the surrounding air.
  • Page 6: Final Installation Procedures

    / pressure check again. Perform Deep Evacuation (Multi F) On Multi F systems, after the leak / pressure check is complete, the deep evacuation procedure must be performed to the refrigerant piping and all connected indoor units.
  • Page 7 Refrigerant Charge LG Multi F and Multi F MAX outdoor units ship from the factory with a charge of R410A refrigerant. A trim charge may need to be added to take into account additional piping length. To find the R410A factory charge of each outdoor unit, see the Multi F / Multi F MAX Outdoor Unit Installa- tion Manuals.
  • Page 8: Installation Checklist

    All condensate lines were properly insulated to prevent condensation. Multi F / Multi F MAX gravity condensate drain line was connected and routed where it properly drains away or, if installed in a mechani- cal room, was connected and properly routed to a drain terminal.
  • Page 9 The power supplied was clean with voltage fluctuations within specifications (±10% of nameplate). Power wiring to the Multi F / Multi F MAX outdoor unit was field supplied, solid or stranded, and installed per all local, state, and NEC requirements.
