Indoor Unit. Cassette Units This manual describes how to install the LG Multi F and Multi F MAX (Multi Zone) Ceiling Cassette Indoor Units (IDU) for Multi F heat pump systems. The table on the next page lists the available models. Refer to LG’s Multi F Indoor Unit Engineering Manual for complete detailed engineering data and selection procedures.
INSTALLATION MULTI MULTI Flaring Procedure Flaring Procedure One of the main causes of refrigerant leaks is a defective connection. For LG HVAC systems, the installer needs to know how perform flared connections successfully. • • Flaring Procedure 1. Cut the pipe to length.

4. When all piping installation has been completed, perform the triple leak / pressure and evacuation tests (see the Final Installation Procedures Section in the Multi F / Multi F MAX or Multi F / Multi F MAX LGRED Outdoor Unit Installation Manual), verify that the system does not have any leaks, and then fully insulate all joints / connections.
Refrigerant Piping System Insulation All refrigerant piping from the outdoor unit to the indoor units / branch distribution units (Multi F MAX only) must be insulated correctly for safety and usage. Refrigerant piping, Y-branch connections, 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).
• Properly ground the outdoor, indoor, and branch distribution units (Multi F MAX with or without LGRED systems only). Ground wiring is required to prevent accidental electrical shock during current leakage.

Power Supply / Power Wiring Specifications • Multi F and Multi F MAX (with or without LGRED) systems operate at 1Ø, 208-230V, 60Hz, and power is wired to the outdoor unit only. The outdoor unit will supply power to the indoor units and the branch distribution units (Multi F MAX [with or without LGRED] systems only) through the communication / connection (power) cable (indoor units and branch distribution units draw minimum power).

After all wiring is connected to the indoor and outdoor units, test the accompanying remote controllers for performance. As always, follow all safety warnings and notes when operating the units using the remote controller. Additionally, all of the Multi F / Multi F MAX (with or without LGRED) outdoor units can use the following controllers when accompanied with the PI-485 VNet Accessory: •...

Wiring must comply with all applicable local and national codes. • If using the 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.
(4) to five (5) feet above the finished floor. • It could be necessary to use a handy box that is sized in metric units, depending on the sensor model. Check with your LG representative to verify which size of handy box is needed for the sensor in question.
Pipe insulation was not compressed at any point. Y-branch fittings were properly INSTALLED per details provided in the Multi F / Multi F MAX (with or without LGRED) Outdoor Unit Installation Manual. Y-branch fittings were properly SUPPORTED per details provided in the Multi F / Multi F MAX (with or without LGRED) Outdoor Unit Installation Manual.
