with the rated amount of refrigerant including
additional amount required for air-purging,
subject to 7.5m piping length. (The rated
amount of refrigerant is indicated on the name
plate.) But when the piping length exceeds 7.5

Installation of Unit
Installation guide at the seaside
CAUTION
1. Air conditioners should not be installed in areas where corrosive gases, such as acid or alkaline gas, are produced.
2. Do not install the product where it could be exposed to sea wind (salty wind) directly. It can result corrosion
on the product. Corrosion, particularly on the condenser and evaporator fins, could cause product malfunc-
tion or inefficient performance.
3. If outdoor unit is installed close to the seaside, it should avoid direct exposure to the sea wind. Otherwise it
needs additional anticorrosion treatment on the heat exchanger.
Selecting the location(Outdoor Unit)
1. If the outdoor unit is to be installed close to the seaside, direct exposure to the sea wind should be avoided.
Install the outdoor unit on the opposite side of the sea wind direction.
Sea wind
Sea wind
2. In case, to install the outdoor unit on the seaside, set up a windbreak not to be exposed to the sea wind.
• It should be strong enough like concrete to prevent
the sea wind from the sea.
Windbreak
• The height and width should be more than 150% of
the outdoor unit.
Sea wind
• It should be keep more than 70 cm of space
between outdoor unit and the windbreak for easy
air flow.
3. Select a well-drained place.
1. If you can’t meet above guide line in the seaside installation, please contact LG Electronics for the additional anticorrosion treatment.
2. Periodic ( more than once/year ) cleaning of the dust or salt particles stuck on the heat exchanger by using water

work. Carry out correct flaring work in the
following procedure.

1. Cut the pipes and the cable.
• Use the accessory piping kit or the pipes
purchased locally.
• Measure the distance between the indoor
and the outdoor unit.
• Cut the pipes a little longer than measured
distance.

•
Cut the cable 1.5m longer than the pipe
length.

2. Burrs removal
• Completely remove all burrs from the cut
cross section of pipe/tube.
Flare nut
•
Put the end of the copper tube/pipe to
downward direction as you remove burrs in
order to avoid to let burrs drop in the tubing.

the tubing in stead of pipe bender.
• Please make a careful notice to make a
smooth line.
• Hold the tubing with your two hands closely
and then bend or stretch it slowly not to
make any crack.

Power Supply and Wiring
The unit is completely wired internally at the
factory according to general rule of electrical
technology, but local rules, if they are required,
should be complied with.
Voltage
Power source voltage
working voltage
1. Power supply
Power source must fulfill the following
conditions:
Starting voltage
Starting point
Time
• The working voltage should be higher than
90% and lower than 110% of the rated
voltage marked on the name plate.
• The starting voltage should be higher than
85% of the rated voltage marked on the
name plate.
2. Wiring
After the confirmation of the above conditions, prepare the wiring as follows:
• Use the power supply cord(Rubber
insulation, type Ho7RNF approved by HAR
or SAA) suitable for the product's
electriccal capacity.
• The screws which fasten the wiring in the
casing of electrical fittings are liable to
come loose from vibrations to which the
unit is subjected during the course of
transportation. Check them and make sure
that they are all tightly fastened.

Vacuum Drying of the Connecting Pipes and the Indoor Unit
The air which contains moisture remaining in the refrigeration cycle may cause a malfunction on the
compressor.
1. Confirm that both the liquid side valve and the gas side valve are set to the closed position.
2. After connecting the piping, check the joints for gas leakage with gas leak detector.
3. Remove the service port nut, and connect the gauge manifold and the vacuum pump to the service
port by the charge hose.
4. Vacuum the indoor unit and the connecting pipes until the pressure in them lowers to below -
76cmHg.
5. Remove the valve stem nuts, and fully open the stems of the 2-way and 3-way valves with a hexagon
wrench.
6. Tighten the valve stem nuts of the 2-way valve and 3-way valve.
7. Disconnect the charge hose and fit the nut to the service port.

two Plastic Bands. (for the right piping)
• If you connect an additional drain hose,
the end of the drain-outlet should be kept
distance from the ground. (Do not dip it
into water, and fix it on the wall to avoid
swinging in the wind.)

condensate drain connections?
Check discharge and suction pressure on
the compound gauges.
Has the refrigeration cooling cycle been
kept sealed?
Check working voltage, phase balance
and running current.
Is the electrical wiring adequate and are
the screws tightened on terminals?
Check to ensure that the thermistor
functions properly.
After the above final checkings, prepare the
running test as follows:
Check to ensure that the high pressure
control switch functions correctly.
