2. Rotate the fan wheel(s) by hand and assure no parts are rubbing. Assemblies Blower - one plenum-type fans (LG 3D Plug). All units are equipped with a plenum fan for Supply Air Coils - Evaporator coil Filters - 2 inch thick pleated paper MERV 8(standard) or MERV 13 filters in the supply air stream Split DX system - Unit ordered with either Multi V 5 outdoor unit or Multi V S outdoor unit.
Wrap all refrigerant piping including field-provided isolation ball valves and flexible pipe connection kits provided by LG. Glue all insulation joints with no air gaps between insulation segments, and between insulation segments and the unit case. Ensure insulation material fits snugly against the refrigeration pipe with no air space between the pipe surface and the surrounding insulation.

(10) piping diameters can minimize pressure drop. Be sure no traps or sags are present. LG prefers the use of hard drawn copper in pipe segments when connecting a Split Rooftop Unit product and an outdoor unit. • Always reference the LATS HVAC software report.

Units / Heat Recovery Units • Communication cable from Main Outdoor Unit to RTU / Indoor Units / Heat Recovery Units is to be LG supplied or field supplied 18 AWG, 2-conductor, twisted, stranded, shielded. Ensure the communication cable shield is properly grounded to the Main Outdoor Unit chassis only.

• Failure to follow any of these power and communications wiring guidelines or instructions will cause communications errors and unit mal- function. Never use wire caps and never splice communications cables. Never connect zone controllers or other central controllers or LG building management system gateways to the RTU / outdoor unit com- munications cable. Connection Procedure RTU installation best practices are to connect control wiring (low voltage) and then connect power wiring (high voltage).

Wiring must comply with all applicable local and national codes. • If using LG supplied cable and the length needs to be extended, the LG Extension Kit (sold separately) must be used. A maximum of four (4) kits (up to 165 feet) can be used.

(see table). LG VRF systems can operate with both old 2A heat recovery units and new 3A heat recovery units if the outdoor unit software has been upgraded. If a system includes a mix of both old and new heat recovery units, system design must follow 2A heat recovery unit series piping rules.
