INSTALLATION, CONTINUED
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 capable of supporting the weights listed above.
• Some products use polypropylene bands for packaging. Do not use
polypropylene bands to lift the unit.
• Suspend the outdoor unit from the base at specified positions.
Support the outdoor unit a minimum of four points to avoid slippage
from rigging apparatus.

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, fall-
ing, and personal injury.

• Lift the outdoor unit from the base at specified locations. Support the outdoor unit at a minimum of six (6) points to avoid slippage
from the rigging apparatus.
• Do not drop the unit when carrying it with a forklift.
• Use a minimum of three (3) lifting straps.
• Place a protective cloth or other soft material at the locations where the casing comes in contact with the lifting straps to prevent
damage to painted surfaces.
• Always know where the unit’s center of gravity is before lifting. Hoist the unit with the center of gravity centered among the lifting
straps.
• Use caution when using forklift to transport an unpackaged unit. Consider the unit’s center of gravity when lifting. Protect the
painted surfaces as necessary to prevent damage to the unit finish.

 REFRIGERANT PIPING INSTALLATION
Computer-assisted Refrigerant Pipe Design

LATS MULTI V Piping Design Figure 7: Screenshot of LATS Pipe System Design Tool in Tree Mode.
Software
Proper design and installation of the refrigerant piping system is a criti-
cal element of the Multi V system. Multi IV Heat Pump unit requires two
pipes (liquid line and vapor line) between system components. Multi IV
Heat Recovery unit requires three pipes (liquid, low-pressure vapor, and
high pressure vapor) between the outdoor unit and the heat recovery
unit. A properly designed refrigerant piping system ensures that refriger-
ant is delivered to the evaporator coil’s electronic expansion valve (EEV)
in a pure liquid state free of gas bubbles. A proper design also ensures
a sufficient refrigerant gas flow rate in the vapor line(s) that eliminates
the possibility of refrigeration oil from collecting in the vapor line(s).

Refrigerant Piping Quality Assurance

LG Air Conditioning Technical Solution (LATS) Multi V software makes
designing the refrigerant system easy. LATS Multi V is a Microsoft Windows®-based application that assists the engineer in refrigeration
distribution pipe system design, verifies the design complies with pipe design limitations, applies capacity correction factors, and calculates
the system refrigerant charge. The piping system design can be entered manually into LATS from a one-line pipe diagram. To ensure that
the refrigerant piping design meets LG’s quality standards, a LATS refrigerant piping design must be provided with every Multi V

Installation
IV order. Following the installation, if any changes or variations to the design were necessary, a new “as-built” LATS piping design
software report must be created and provided to LG prior to system commissioning.
Systems that are close to the standard application limits may be converted into a conditional application by field changes to pipe equivalent
lengths. Always check the LATS report actual pipe layout versus pipe limits. The user may want to increase pipe lengths when design condi-
tions are approaching the Standard Application Piping Rule limits to force the LATS program to engineer the system using the “Conditional
Application Pipe Rules,” which will increase the diameter of the main and a few branch segments to minimize the possibility of required pipe

Adjusting LATS Multi V Output for Altitude
When a system is installed at elevations significantly above sea level, consider the impact air density has on the capacity of the indoor and
air source units. LATS does not de-rate indoor unit capacity for high altitude applications. Be sure to apply locally accepted altitude correction
factors to calculate actual indoor unit capacities at that altitude.

Creating a Balanced Piping System

Unlike designing ductwork or chilled and hot water pipe systems where balancing dampers, ball valves, orifices, circuit setters, or other flow
control devices can be installed to modify or balance the flow of cooling medium, these cannot be used in a VRF system. Therefore, variable
refrigerant flow system designs must be “self balanced.” Balanced liquid refrigerant distribution is solely dependent on the designer choosing
the correct pipe size for each segment. Pipe sizing considerations include pipe length, pipe segment pressure drop relative to other pipe seg-
ments in the system, type and quantity of elbows, bends, fitting installation orientation, and end use device elevation differences.

It is imperative to avoid creating excessive pressure drop. When liquid refrigerant is subjected to excessive pressure drop, liquid refrigerant

results in a loss of system control and causes damage to the valve. The pipe system must be designed in a manner that avoids the creation
of unwanted vapor.

Selecting Field-Supplied Copper Tubing

Type ACR copper is the only approved refrigerant pipe material for use with LG Multi V commercial air conditioning products. ACR rated tub-
ing is the only type that ships with yellow caps. Approved tubing for use with Multi V products will be marked “R410 RATED” along the length
of the tube.
• Drawn temper (rigid) ACR copper tubing is available in sizes 3/8 through 2-1/8 inches (ASTM B 280, clean, dry and capped).
• Annealed temper (soft) ACR copper tubing is available in sizes 1/4 through 2-1/8 inches (ASTM B 280, clean, dry, and capped).

Tube wall thickness should meet local code requirements and be approved for a maximum operating pressure of 551 psi. When bending tub-
ing, try to keep the number of bends to a minimum, and use the largest radii possible to reduce the equivalent length of installed pipe; also,
bending radii greater than ten (10) pipe diameters can minimize pressure drop. Be sure no traps or sags are present when rolling out soft
copper tubing coils.

LG recommends soft copper use to be limited to 1/2". Use hard drawn for larger sizes to avoid sags and kinks that lead to oil trapping.

Y-Branch Kits
LG Y-branch and kits are highly engineered devices designed to evenly divide the flow of refrigerant, and are used to join one pipe segment
to two or more segments. There are two types of Y-branches used in LG VRF systems: Y-branches that combine two or three outdoor units
to make up one large-capacity outdoor unit (also known as multi-frame connectors), or Y-branches used with the indoor units in the refriger-
ant piping system at each transition. Field-supplied “T” fittings or “Y” branches will not be accepted. Do not install Y-branches backwards;

• Y-branches can be installed upstream between the Header and the outdoor unit, but a Y-branch cannot be installed between a header
and an indoor unit.
• To avoid the potential of uneven refrigerant distribution through a header fitting, minimize the difference in equivalent pipe length be-
tween the header fitting and each connected indoor unit.

See table below for precalculated anticipated expansion for various pipe sizes and lengths of refrigerant tubing.
To find the anticipated expansion value:
1. From the table below, find the row corresponding with the actual feet of the straight pipe segment.
2. Estimate the minimum and maximum temperature of the pipe.
3. In the column showing the minimum pipe temperature, look up the anticipated expansion distance corresponding to the segment length.
Do the same for the maximum pipe temperature.
4. Calculate the difference in the two expansion distance values. The result will be the change in pipe length.

Pipe Bends
When bending soft copper, use long radius bends. Refer to the "Radii of Coiled Expansion Loops and Developed Lengths of Expansion
Offsets” table for minimum radius specifications, page 116.

In-line Refrigeration Components

Components such as oil traps, solenoid valves, filter-dryers, sight glasses, tee fittings, and other after-market accessories are not permitted
on the refrigerant piping system between the outdoor units and the indoor units. Multi V IV systems are provided with redundant systems that
assure oil is properly returned to the compressor. Sight-glasses and solenoid valves may cause vapor to form in the liquid stream. Over time,
dryers may deteriorate and introduce debris into the system. The designer and installer should verify the refrigerant piping system is free of
traps, sagging pipes, sight glasses, filter dryers, etc.

Field-provided Isolation Ball Valves

LG allows the installation of field-supplied ball valves with Schrader ports at each indoor unit. Full-port isolation ball valves with Schrader
ports (positioned between valve and indoor unit) rated for use with R410A refrigerant should be used on both the liquid and vapor lines.
If valves are not installed and a single indoor unit needs to be removed or repaired, the entire system must be shut down and evacuated. If
isolation ball valves are installed, and an indoor unit needs to be repaired, the unaffected indoor units can remain operational. Reclamation
of refrigerant, then, can be restricted to a single indoor unit.
Position valves with a minimum distance of three (3) to six (6) inches of pipe on either side of the valve, and placed between six (6) and
twelve (12) inches from the Y-branch or header connecting the run-out pipe to the upstream main or branch pipe. If ball valves are installed

Installation
closer to the indoor unit, a section of pipe becomes a dead zone when the valves are closed where oil may accumulate.
Valves shall be accessible for service. If necessary, install drywall access doors or removable ceiling panels, and position the valves to
face the access door or ceiling panel opening. Mount valves with adequate space between them to allow for placement of adequate pipe
insulation around the valves. Recommended best practice is to clearly label and document locations of all service valves, Y-branches, and
headers.

Using Elbows
Field supplied elbows are allowed if they are long radius and designed for use with R410A refrigerant. The designer and installer, however,
should be cautious with the quantity and size of fittings used, and must account for the additional pressure losses in equivalent pipe length
calculation for each branch. The equivalent pipe length of each elbow must be added to each pipe segment in the LATS program. See page
110 for equivalent lengths.

Installation of Refrigerant Piping / Brazing Practices

It is imperative to keep the piping system free of contaminants and debris such as copper burrs, slag, or carbon dust during installation.
1. All joints are brazed in the field. Multi V IV refrigeration system components contain very small capillary tubes, small orifices, electronic
expansion valves, oil separators, and heat exchangers that can easily become blocked. Proper system operation depends on the installer
using best practices and utmost care while assembling the piping system.
Figure 16: Refrigerant Pipe Brazing.
• Store pipe stock in a dry place; keep stored pipe capped and clean.
• Blow clean all pipe sections with dry nitrogen prior to assembly. Refrigerant
Piping Pipe to Pressure-reducing
2. Proper system operation depends on the installer using best practices and the utmost be brazed Valve
care while assembling the piping system.
Nitrogen
• Use adapters to assemble different sizes of pipe.
• Always use a non-oxidizing material for brazing. Do not use flux, soft solder, or anti- Valve
oxidant agents. If the proper material is not used, oxidized film may accumulate and Taping
clog or damage the compressors. Flux can harm the copper piping or refrigerant oil.
• Use a tubing cutter, do not use a saw to cut pipe. De-bur and clean all cuts before assembly.
3. Brazing joints:
• Use a dry nitrogen purge operating at a minimum pressure of three (3) psig and maintain a steady flow.
• Use a 15% silver phosphorous copper brazing alloy to avoid overheating and produce good flow.
• Protect isolation valves, electronic expansion valves, and other heat-sensitive control components from excessive heat with a wet rag or
heat barrier spray.

Pipe Supports Figure 17: Pipe Hanger Details.

A properly installed pipe system should be adequately supported to avoid pipe sagging.
Sagging pipes become oil traps that lead to equipment malfunction.
Pipe supports should never touch the pipe wall; supports shall be installed outside (around)
the primary pipe insulation jacket. Insulate the pipe first because pipe supports shall be
installed outside (around) the primary pipe insulation jacket. Clevis hangers should be used
with shields between the hangers and insulation. Field provided pipe supports should be
designed to meet local codes. If allowed by code, use fiber straps or split-ring hangers
suspended from the ceiling on all-thread rods (fiber straps or split ring hangers can be used
as long as they do not compress the pipe insulation). Place a second layer of insulation
over the pipe insulation jacket to prevent chafing and compression of the primary insulation
in the confines of the support clamp.

Conditional Applications
Conditional application is computed in LATS. See below for an explanation of when pipes are upsized.
If the equivalent length between the first Y-branch to the farthest indoor unit is >131 feet (up to 295 feet maximum):
• Pipe segment diameters between the first Y-branch and the second Y-branch should be sized up by one. This applies to both liquid and
vapor pipes. If the next size up is not available, or if the piping segment diameters are the same as main pipe (A) diameters, sizing up is
not possible.

Example: When an indoor unit combination ratio of 120% is connected to a 22-ton outdoor unit:
Outdoor unit main pipe (A) diameters: 1-3/8Ø inches (vapor) and 5/8Ø inches (liquid).
1. Pipe (B) diameters: 1-3/8Ø (vapor) and 3/4Ø (liquid) (after the first branch, when indoor unit combination ratio is 120% [26 tons]).
2. After the first branch, pipe (B) diameters must be changed to 1-3/8Ø inches (vapor) and 5/8Ø inches (liquid) to match main pipe (A) sizes.

Instead of using the total indoor unit capacity to choose main pipe (A) diameters, use outdoor unit capacity to choose downstream main pipe
(A) diameters. Do not permit connection pipes (B) from branch to branch to exceed main pipe (A) diameters as indicated by outdoor unit
capacity. Example: When an indoor unit combination ratio of 120% is connected to a 20-ton outdoor unit (24 tons), and indoor unit with a
7,000 Btu/h capacity is located at the first branch:
1. Main pipe (A) diameters on a 20-ton outdoor unit: 1-1/8Ø inches (vapor) and 5/8Ø inches (liquid).
2. Pipe diameters between first and second branches, however, are: 1-3/8Ø (vapor) and 3/4Ø (liquid) (connected downstream indoor unit
capacity is 20 tons).
3. If main pipe (A) diameters of a 20-ton outdoor unit are 1-1/8Ø (vapor) and 5/8Ø (liquid), then the pipe diameters between the first and
second branches should be changed to match.

• Pipe segment diameters between the first branch and the last branch should be sized up by one. This applies to both liquid and low / high
vapor pipes. If the next size up is not available, or if the pipe segment diameters are the same as main pipe (A) diameters, sizing up is not
possible.
• While calculating total refrigerant piping length, pipe (B) segment lengths between the first Y-branch and second Y-branch, and between the
second Y-branch and the heat recovery unit should be calculated by two.

Operating the Service Valves

1. Loosen or tighten the flare nut by using a torque wrench and backup wrench. Coat the flare connection with polyvinyl ether (PVE)
refrigeration oil.
2. Remove service valve cap. To operate the shutoff valve, turn ball valve stem 90° using an open-end wrench. Always backseat the valve.
After operation, always replace the caps (Tightening torque of service valve cap: =18.0 lb-ft).
3. Evacuate the system, and then charge the refrigerant using the Schrader valve. Reattach the Schrader valve cap after servicing is
complete. (Tightening torque of service cap: =10.0 lb-ft).

Refrigerant Piping System Insulation

All refrigerant piping from the outdoor unit to the indoor units must be insulated correctly for safety and usage. Y-branch connections, header
branch connections, refrigerant piping, field-provided isolation ball valves (if present), service valves, and elbows must be properly and
completely insulated using closed cell pipe insulation (up to the indoor unit piping connections). To prevent heat loss / heat gain through the

thick, and thickness may need to be increased based on ambient conditions and local codes. Table on next page lists minimum wall thickness
requirements for Ethylene Propylene Diene Methylene (EPDM) insulation.
Inside the outdoor unit, maximum pipe temperature is 248°F and minimum pipe temperature is -40°F. For field insulation of refrigerant piping
between outdoor units and indoor units, consider the following pipe temperature ranges for an operating heat pump system:
• Heating mode refrigerant temperature ranges: Liquid 75-118°F; High Pressure Vapor 95-220°F
• Cooling mode refrigerant temperature ranges: Liquid 75-118°F; Low Pressure Vapor 40-90°F
All insulation joints shall be glued with no air gaps. Insulation material shall fit snugly against the refrigeration pipe with no air space between
it and the pipe. Insulation passing through pipe hangers, inside conduit, and/or sleeves must not be compressed. Protect insulation inside
hangers and supports with a second layer. All pipe insulation exposed to the sun and outdoor elements shall be properly protected with PVC,
aluminum vapor barrier, or alternatively placed in a weather-resistant enclosure such as a pipe rack with a top cover; and meet local codes.

thickness, and meet UL94 MF-1 flammability.
The design engineer should perform calculations to determine if the factory-supplied insulation jackets are sufficient to meet local codes and
avoid sweating. Add additional insulation if necessary. Check the fit of the insulation jacket after the header fitting and all run-out pipes are
installed. Mark all pipes at the point where the insulation jacket ends. Remove the jacket. Install field provided insulation on the run-out and
main trunk pipes first. Install the LG-provided insulation plugs on the ends of all unused header ports. Peel the adhesive glue protector slip
from the insulation jacket and install the clam-shell jacket over the fitting.

2. An area where there is an elevated humidity level.
5. Additional Insulation for Indoor Units May be Required in Humid Environments.
The air conditioner factory insulation has been tested according to “ISO Conditions with Mist,” and it satisfies the requirements. If the system
has been operating for a long time in a high humidity environment (dew point temperature: more than 73°F), condensate is likely to form. If
this happens, install 3/8 inch thick ethylene propylene diene methylene (EPDM) insulation that is plenum-rated with a heat-resistance factor
of more than 248°F.

Perform a Pressure (Leak) Test

1. Upon completion of refrigerant piping system installation, open all isolation ball valves throughout the piping system.
2. DO NOT apply power to the Outdoor, Indoor, and Heat Recovery Units (Heat recovery systems only). If power is applied, expansion
valves close and the pressure test will not be conclusive.

If power has been applied to any device before the pressure test, contact your LG Applied Rep champion or service technician for the
SURFHGXUHWRUHRSHQWKH((9YDOYHV

3. DO NOT open the outdoor unit service valves; the factory refrigerant charge will be released.
4. Use medical grade dry nitrogen and pressure test the refrigerant piping system to a minimum of 550 psi for a period of 24 hours.
Pressurize the liquid, low pressure vapor, and medium pressure vapor (heat recovery systems only) concurrently.

Connecting the Power Wiring

Best practice dictates using ring or spade terminals to terminate power wiring at the power terminal block. If ring terminals or spade clips are
not available, then:

• Do not terminate different gauge wires to the power terminal block. (Slack in the wiring may generate heat.)

• When terminating wires of the same thickness, follow the instructions demonstrated in the figures below.

• Firmly attach the wire; secure in a way to prevent external forces Figure 58: Close up of a Typical Ring Terminal.

 PRE-COMMISSIONING
Preparing the Electrical System

Prepare the Electrical System

1. Verify correct, clean, specified power is at the line side of each system component’s disconnect.

2. Note if the green LED light on the component PCB board is illuminated.

3. If a Dynamic V-8 VL air cleaner is installed on a high static ducted model indoor unit, verify power has been provided to the air cleaner
controller. Verify by observing the LED in the center of the disconnect plate is illuminated.

4. If a zone controller (Remote Unit controller on the Hydro Kit) is connected to the component, verify the LCD screen displays current
operational characteristics.

Pre-commissioning Process
The pre-commissioning process will prepare the system for commissioning in several steps:
1. Power up the system.

Pre-commissioning
2. Verify power is correct.

3. Run self diagnostics check.

4. Assign a system address to indoor units.

5. Assign addresses to heat recovery units (heat recovery systems only).

6. Assign each central control device an address.

Power Up the System / Verify the Power is Correct

Multi V IV outdoor units require either 208-230V / 60Hz / 3Ø or 460V / 60Hz / 3Ø power. Verify that the power and phase requirements are
correct and all three legs are present. Make sure that the power imbalance ratio between phases is no greater than 2%. If the electrical
power is dirty, the unit may shutdown on a compressor safety and/or the lifespan will be reduced.

Multi V IV outdoor units are inverter driven. Do not install a phase-leading capacitor. If one is included, it will deteriorate the power factor
improvement effect, and may cause the capacitor to generate an abnormal amount of heat.

from the switch when closing. Incorrect wiring could cause the disconnect to explode, physical injury, and / or death.

During the pre-commissioning process for Gen. 4 systems, do not change any DIP switch settings except for SW01B switch number 3, which
should be ON to enable Gen. 4 features. All other combinations of switches should be left in the OFF position on ODU DIP switch SW01B.
Refer to System Combinations and Outdoor Unit Operation Settings for proper setting of DIP switch 3.

Initiate the Auto Addressing Procedure

• If the Auto Address Procedure has never been successfully completed for the system, the compressor(s) will not start when power is
applied to the unit.
• Auto addressing is only possible on the main PCB of the outdoor unit (master unit if dual / triple frame system).

Plan the Central Control Addresses Assignments

Check with the building’s Chief Engineer and gather any preferences the project may have. If there are no preferences:
• Hex assignments do not have to be assigned in any particular order, or an order defined by the routing of the communications cable
between the indoor units. In most cases, Hex addresses can be skipped.1
• All members of a Hex Group are not required to be on the same Multi V system.
• Addresses can be assigned at random, not in any particular order, and can be skipped. 1
1
On AC EZ, do not skip addresses. Start with Hex address 0. Buttons have pre-assigned Hex addresses. If an address is skipped, the associated
button will do nothing.

Indoor Unit Central Control Address Assignments

A central control address is made up of two hexadecimal characters. Figure 69: Central Control Address Nomenclature.
• The first character in the central control address is the Hex Group Identifier.
Possible Hex Group Identifiers (in order of lowest to highest) are 0-9 followed by A-F. 1 D
• The second character in the address is the Hex Member Identifier in a Hex Group.
Hex Member Identifiers (in order from lowest to highest) are 0-9 followed by A-F.

Group Number
If the building operator wants to know which indoor units are on each outdoor unit, and multiple systems serve a building:
• Assign a Group Number to each system. If there are more than 16 indoor units on a system, multiple Group Numbers may be necessary.
If the building owner wants to know which indoor units are on each floor:
• Assign a different group number for each floor. If there are more than 16 indoor units on a floor, multiple Group Numbers may be
necessary.

Member Number
Can be assigned at will or for example, can follow the room layout on each floor.

For each LG Central Controller product provided on the project, devise a central control address schedule and assign a central control
address to each indoor unit(s) Hydro Kit(s), and ERV(s) units. Record this central control address for each component in the column provided
on the Pre-commissioning Device Configuration Worksheet.

Upload Central Control Address to the Indoor Units

For all ducted, vertical and floor standing indoor units, the central control address must be assigned using a wired zone controller. Wall-

Indoor Unit Temperature Sensing Strategy / Air Balance

Indoor Unit Temperature Sensing Location Selection

For each indoor unit connected to a wired zone controller, select a zone temperature sensing option. Assign one of three methods for the
indoor unit to sense the zone temperature. Skip this step for indoor units controlled from a handheld (wireless) controller. Record the sensing
for each indoor unit on the Pre-commissioning Device Configuration Worksheet. There are three possible strategies:

1. Use the unit-mounted return air sensor (or the optional remote wall-mounted sensor).

2. Use the sensor mounted in the zone controller.

3. Sense the temperature at the unit-mounted return air sensor (or the optional remote wall-mounted sensor) and sensor mounted in the
zone controller, then control based on the temperature reading using the sensor that is farthest from setpoint.

General
Each heat recovery unit will have a unique address assign so the
outdoor unit will be able distinguish it from other heat recovery units.
The unique address is assigned by adjusting the rotary dials on the
heat recovery unit printed circuit board (PCB).
Upon completion of the heat recovery unit address, the heat recovery
unit operating parameters will be set by adjusting the positions DIP
Switches on SW01M, SW02M. LED

Procedure SW05M

Before beginning the physical process of assigning heat recovery ad-

dresses, map out the address assignments using a copy of the LATS SW01M
tree mode diagram.

Pre-commissioning
Guidelines SW02M SW03M SW04M (SW01M / SW03M / SW04M
(DIP Switch for Set Up of Heat Switches for Manual Valve Addressing)
1. Addresses must be sequential and cannot be skipped. Recovery Unit Functions)

2. Assign the lowest address to the heat recovery unit that has the
largest capacity indoor unit connected to port number 1. If the capacity of all indoor units connected to port number 1 of each heat recov-
ery unit is the same, assign address “0” to the heat recovery unit farthest away from the outdoor unit. Assign the next address to the next
farthest away and so on until all heat recovery units have an address. The heat recovery unit with the highest address should be the one
closest to the outdoor unit. Up to 16 heat recovery units can be on a single system.

Addressing must be performed following the detailed steps above because port number 1 on the heat recovery unit addressed “0” will remain
open during the auto pipe detect procedure. If the indoor unit capacity connected to the port is relatively small compared with other units on
the system, the outdoor unit high head pressure safety will trip and shut down the unit during the procedure.
Possible settings in order of lowest to highest are: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F.
3. Record the address assigned to each heat recovery unit in the pertinent column on the Pre-Commissioning Device Configuration

 PRE-COMMISSIONING
Prepare the Refrigerant Piping System

Verify a Pressure (Leak) Test Has Been Performed

If not, perform one now. Use medical grade dry nitrogen and pressure test the refrigerant piping system to a minimum of 550 psi for a period
of 24 hours.

Evacuate the Refrigerant Piping System

• The outdoor unit may be put in “vacuum mode”. Generally, using the vacuum mode feature does assist with the vacuum process and
is not necessary if a vacuum pump is connected to all charging ports at the outdoor unit(s) simultaneously as suggested. See the
Technical Service Manual for this product for more information.
• For refrigerant charging in a multi-frame system, only use the charging ports on one outdoor unit (does not matter which one).
• For evacuation purposes in a multi-frame system, connect to the hot gas service port and liquid service port on only one outdoor unit.

DO NOT apply power to any Multi V system device prior to performing a system evacuation. There is a possibility that EEV valves may close

Pre-commissioning
and isolate sections of the pipe system, Contact your LG Applied Rep champion or service technician for the procedure to reopen the EEV
valves before evacuation.

1. Release the Pressure Test dry nitrogen charge from all refrigerant pipes.

2. 9HULI\$//ILHOGLQVWDOOHGLVRODWLRQEDOOYDOYHVDUH23(1LQFOXGLQJWKRVHWKDWDUHFDSSHGIRUIXWXUHXVH

3. Remove and discard the Schrader valve cores at the outdoor unit(s) charging ports. (This is a preventive step that ensures that valves
used after charging the system have not been subjected to the high pressure value used during the Pressure Test.)

4. Attach a 5/16” core removal tool equipped with ball valve and a new core to each charging port on the outdoor unit.

5. Check the vacuum pump(s) you intend to use and verify the oil in the sump is fresh and not contaminated.

6. Attach the vacuum pump(s) to each charging port simultaneously using high quality refrigerant vacuum hoses.

7. Perform a triple evacuation.

8. Achieve a micron gauge reading of less than 500 microns.

9. At 500 microns, valve off the charging port by closing the core removal tool ball valves.

10. Remove the vacuum hoses and pumps.

Do not open the outdoor unit service valves and release the factory refrigerant charge until the Commissioning Agent authorizes to do so.

11. Leave the refrigerant piping system in a vacuum until the Commissioning Agent arrives and is satisfied with the micron gauge reading.

 PRE-COMMISSIONING
Prepare the Refrigerant Piping System

Vacuum for Heat Pump Systems

Vacuum the refrigerant piping system by connecting the vacuum pump to the service ports for the liquid pipes and the vapor pipes on the
outdoor unit. Use a vacuum pump with a gauge that can evacuate to 500 microns, and vacuum with the service port valve closed. Never air
purge with refrigerant.
1. Evacuate the system for two (2) hours, bringing the system up to 500 microns. After maintaining the system to 500 microns for more than
one (1) hour, confirm that pressure has risen. If not, there may be moisture or a leak somewhere in the refrigerant piping system.
2. If the system has been evacuated for more than two (2) hours and it is suspected that moisture may be present (rainwater may have
entered the piping if installation look a long time to complete, or if work occurred during a rainy season), pressurize to 14 psi (vacuum
break) with nitrogen gas, and then vacuum again for one (1) hour to 500 microns. If the system cannot be evacuated to 500 microns within
two (2) hours, repeat vacuum break. After maintaining the system in vacuum for one (1) hour, check to the vacuum gauge to see if
pressure has risen.

Vacuum for Heat Recovery Systems

Vacuum the refrigerant piping system by connecting the vacuum pump to the service ports for the liquid pipes and the high-pressure vapor
pipes on the outdoor unit (the low-pressure vapor pipe is included in the vacuum procedure through the heat recovery unit). Use a vacuum
pump with a gauge that can evacuate to 500 microns, and vacuum with the service port valve closed. Never air purge with refrigerant.

1. Evacuate the system for two (2) hours, bringing the system up to 500 microns. After maintaining the system to 500 microns for more than

MULTI V IV System Installation Manual

Optional, but Highly Recommended

It is always best if the air balance is completed prior to a request for a commissioning agent to insure the air volume delivered at each indoor
unit is per project specifications. The commissioning agent is not responsible for setting the indoor unit fan speed or ensure the air volume
delivered at each indoor unit is per project specifications. Excessive or restricted airflow may impact the ability of the commissioning agent
to successfully complete system commissioning. Upon completion of the air balance, the report should include the adjusted indoor unit’s
fan speed (i.e., fan setting value) set by the Test and Balance technician to deliver cataloged air volume (CFM) at jobsite static pressure
conditions.

Initiate a Request for a System Commissioning

Contact your LG Applied Representative’s Project Manager or your account representative and request a System Commissioning. Provide
all the documents listed in “Prepare Pre-commssioning Package” section above.

System Commissioning
The Multi V System commissioning process and procedures are provided in a separate manual and/or in training materials provided by the
LG Academy Training Team. To obtain a copy, you must be a certified LG commissioning agent.

After Commissioning Has Been Requested

The commissioning agent may contact you to discuss specific job points, scheduled day(s) and expected duration. It is the contractor’s
responsibility to provide all of the necessary start-up labor, refrigerant, tools and test equipment needed to complete the process in the
H[SHFWHGWLPHIUDPH3OHDVHQRWHWKDWWKHFRPPLVVLRQLQJDJHQW¶VDOORWWHGWLPHDW\RXUSURMHFW'2(6127LQFOXGHRZQHUWUDLQLQJ  

It is understood that the contractor is to request for a commissioning agent when all required project readiness points are complete; not
based on an “expected” completion date. The contractor also acknowledges that they will assume all responsibility for costs incurred by the
commissioning agent including but not limited airfare, travel costs, transportation, shipping, labor, and tool costs due to lack of readiness.

The commissioning agent’s schedule is usually very rigid, and may have no flexibility regarding duration. It also involves advance travel ar-
rangements that may be impractical or impossible to change.
