- One connection of refrigerant pipe for HR unit is insufficient for the flow of refrigerant. Join two pipes with a branch pipe when connecting the Hydro Kit (Up to 16kW (54kBut/h) capacity model: ARNH08GK3A2). - The pipe number of the connected gas pipe and Ø15.88 Gas pipe liquid pipe must be same.
Power cable Power cable Make sure to tighten so that the screw of the ter- minal does not get loose. ARNH08GK3A2 ARNH04GK3A2 Wiring Connection Connect the wires to the terminals on the control board individually according to the outdoor unit con- nection.
Installation Connecting Cables Types of the cables Classification types Cable cross section Power cable(CV) x cores 4.0 x 3 Communication cable(VCTF-SB) x cores 1.0~1.5 x 2 The distance between communication cable and power cable - If the power cable and communication cable are tied together, system malfunction may occur with electrostatic, electromagnetic combination effect causing the interference signal.
• Connect 3way valve, if both floor heating and hot water is used. • Connect the separately purchased thermostat. • Dry contact is an accessory supplied by LG and installed by referring to the attached installation manual. • 3way valve, thermostat and pump are external parts for installation, which are not supplied by LG.
Accessories Installation Installation of Wired Remote Controller 1. Please fix tightly using provided screw after placing remote controller setup board on the place where you like to setup. - Please set it up not to bend because poor setup could take place if setup board bends.

Accessories Installation Main Pump Connection • Select the suitable pump by referring to the flow rate table with water tem- Pump perature difference between the entrance and the exit. (main) *It is recommended that the flow rate is 36LPM. • Use the pump with enough capacity to guarantee the loss of entire water pressure and to supply the Hydro Kit with water.
Accessories Installation Thermostat Thermostat is generally used to control the unit by air temperature. When thermostat is connected to the unit, the unit operation is controlled by the thermostat. Installation Condition CAUTION 1. USE 1~230 V Thermostat. 2. Some electro-mechanical type thermostat has internal delay time to protect compressor. In that case, mode change can takes time more than user's expectation.
Accessories Installation General Information Hydro Kit supports following thermostats. Type Power Operating Mode Supported Mechanical (1) 1~ 230 V Heating Only (3) Electrical (2) 1~ 230 V Heating Only (3) (1) There is no electric circuit inside the thermostat and electric power supply to the thermostat is not required.
