To meet ASHRAE Standards 15 and 34, the smallest room volume on the system must be calculated and compared to the maximum allow- able concentration. Also consult state and local codes in regards to refrigerant safety. Device Connection Limitations Figure 22: Typical LC098HV and LC128HV System Layout. Unit = Feet A single-zone system consists of one outdoor unit and one indoor Max Length = A unit.
Always follow local codes when selecting and installing copper pipe and piping system components. Approved piping for use with LG Single Zone products will be marked “R410 RATED” along the length of the pipe. Piping wall thickness must meet local code requirements and be approved for a maximum operating pressure of 551 psi. When bending piping, try to keep the number of bends to a minimum, and use the largest radii possible to reduce the equivalent length of installed piping;...
COPPER EXPANSION AND CONTRACTION Copper Expansion and Contraction Under normal operating conditions, the vapor pipe temperature of 1. From the “Linear Thermal Expansion of Copper Tubing in Inches” a Duct Free System can vary as much as 280°F. With this large Table on the next page, find the row corresponding with the actual variance in pipe temperature, the designer must consider pipe length of the straight pipe segment.
PIPING HANDLING Piping Materials and Handling Keep Pipes Capped While Storing. Pipes used for the refrigerant piping system must include the specified thickness, and the interior must be clean. While handling and storing, do not bend or damage the pipes, and take care not to contaminate the interior with dust, moisture, etc.
Failure to do so will cause significant performance degradation. Proper leak checks must be performed. Using isolation valves does not automatically void any LG product warranty, however, a limited warranty will be voided in whole or part if any field supplied accessory fail in any way that causes product failure.

REFRIGERANT SYSTEM ENGINEERING Obstacles Figure 26: Installing Piping Above and Below an Obstacle. When an obstacle, such as an I-beam or concrete T, is in the path of the planned refrigerant pipe run, it is best practice to route the MINIMUM pipe over the obstacle.

Pipe Sleeves at Penetrations LG recommends that all pipe penetrations through walls, floors, and pipes buried underground be properly insulated and routed through an appropriate wall sleeve of sufficient size to prevent compression of refrigerant pipe insulation and free movement of the pipe within the sleeve.
FLARING AND BRAZING PROCEDURES Flaring and Brazing Procedures One of the main causes of refrigerant leaks is a defective connection. For LG HVAC systems, the installer needs to know how perform both flared and brazed connections successfully. • During installation, it is imperative to keep the piping system free of contaminants and debris such as copper burrs, slag, or carbon dust.
Installer Setting Mode sets system functions. Only trained and licensed HVAC technicians should access / use the Installer Setting Mode. If any installation procedure or system change is performed by someone other than a trained and licensed HVAC technician, LG is not respon- sible for the results, and it will void the warranty.
• A sub-setting that isn’t recognized by the indoor unit will revert to the default setting. • The controller will display all sub-settings if the function is available for the indoor unit. Contact an LG Representative for details. Table 32: Wired Controller Settings FC-15 Set Codes and Displays.
Figure 129: Example of an LG ThinQ Screen (appearances my LG ThinQ is a built-in Wi-Fi module, along with a free smart phone app that provides monitoring and differ depending on version of remote control capabilities for certain LG single zone systems. The app has the following features and software).
These codes are the most common that will manifest through these units. The system installed might generate additional codes not listed here. Contact an LG trained service provider if these types of errors are seen, and a simple power down and boot up has not corrected the issue.
No cables were spliced, and no wire caps are present. LG-supplied cable was used between the indoor unit and its zone controller. No cables were spliced and no wire caps are present. Appropriate crimping tool was used to attach ring or spade terminals at all power wiring and control cable terminations.
