A power conditioning circuit is provided and designed to protect the provides unit tag identification when integrating with LG VNet control unit’s inverter compressor and outdoor unit fan motors from phase devices.
Rated capacity is certified under AHRI Standard 1230. See www.ahrinet.org for information. LG requires that LATS software be used on all projects to ensure correct line sizing. Designer must verify the shop drawing design against the as built design using LATS. Contractor must also use LG Cooling with the Low Ambient Wind Baffle (sold separately) is covered to -9.9°F.

SELECTING THE BEST LOCATION FOR THE THREE-PHASE OUTDOOR UNIT(S) Selecting the Best Location for the Outdoor Unit(s) DANGER • Do not install the unit in an area where combustible gas will generate, flow, stagnate, or leak. These conditions can cause a fire, resulting in bodily injury or death.
Page 52
SELECTING THE BEST LOCATION FOR THE THREE-PHASE OUTDOOR UNIT(S) Planning for Snow and Ice, continued. Choose an area where run-off from defrost mode will not accumulate and freeze on sidewalks or driveways. Properly install and insulate any drain hoses to prevent the hose from freezing, cracking, leaking, and damaging the outdoor unit. The system will take longer to provide heat, or heating performance will be reduced in winter if the outdoor unit is installed: 1.
OUTDOOR UNIT CLEARANCE THREE-PHASE REQUIREMENTS ARUN096BSS5 Outdoor Units Proper clearance for the outdoor unit coil is critical for proper unit operation. When installing the outdoor unit, consider service, inlet and outlet and minimum allowable space requirements.
