6.2 Installation of Outdoor Unit
6.2.2 Foundation
6. Installation
A) Fix the unit tightly with bolts as shown below so that unit will not fall down due to earthquake or gust.
Use the H-beam support as a base support
B) Noise and vibration may occur from the floor or wall since vibration is transferred through the installation part depending on installation status. Thus, use anti-vibration materials (cushion pad) fully (The base pad shall be more than 200mm).
Copyright 2010 @LG Electronics / AC Company All Rights ReservedMulti V 62
Note: Refer PDB for more details.
C) The corner part must be fixed firmly. Otherwise, the
support for the installation may be bent.
- Get and use M10 Anchor bolt.
- Put Cushion Pad between the outdoor unit and ground
support for the vibration protection in wide area.
D) Space for pipes and wiring
(Pipes and wirings for bottom side)
E) H-beam support
F) Concrete support

Install at places where it can endure the weight and vibration/noise of the outdoor unit.
The outdoor unit supports at the bottom shall have width of at least 100mm under the unit legs
before being fixed.
The outdoor unit supports should have minimum height of 200mm.
Anchor bolts must be inserted at least 75mm.
6.2 Installation of Outdoor Unit
6.2.4 Selection of Best Location
Select space for installing outdoor unit, which will meet the following conditions:
No direct thermal radiation from other heat sources
No possibility of annoying the neighbors by noise from unit
No exposition to strong wind
With strength which bears weight of unit
Note that drain flows out of unit when heating
With space for air passage and service work shown next.
Because of the possibility of fire, do not install the system to the space where generation, inflow, stagnation,
and leakage of combustible gas is expected.
Avoid unit installation in a place where acidic solution and spray (sulfur) are often used.
Do not use unit under any special environment where oil, steam and sulfuric gas exist.
6. Installation
Copyright 2010 @LG Electronics / AC Company All Rights ReservedMulti V 64
Do not use unit under any special environment where oil, steam and sulfuric gas exist.
Don't operate heating mode when the outdoor air temperature is -20C or lower.
It is recommended to fence round the outdoor unit in order to prevent any person or animal from accessing
the outdoor unit.
If installation site is area of heavy snowfall, then the following directions should be observed.
- Make the foundation as high as possible.
-Fit a snow protection hood.
Select installation location considering following conditions to avoid bad condition when additionally
performing defrost operation.
1. Install the outdoor unit at a place well ventilated and having a lot of sunshine in case of installing the
product at a place with a high humidity in winter (near beach, coast, lake, etc).
(Ex) Rooftop where sunshine always shines.
2. Performance of heating will be reduced and preheat time of the indoor unit may be lengthened in case of
installing the outdoor unit in winter at following location:
(1) Shade position with a narrow space
(2) Location with much moisture in neighboring floor.
(3) Location with much humidity around.
(4) Location where ventilation is good.
It is recommended to install the outdoor unit at a place with a lot of sunshine as possible as.

1. For High Low Pressure Common Pipe, use provided elbows to
connect between the outdoor units using pipes.
2. During the cutting of the pipes, remove burr, foreign substances
before connecting. Otherwise, the unit may not operate because
of the sludge inside the pipe.
3. Apply Nitrogen Gas of pressure until 3.8MPa(38.7kgf/cm2) for work
area leakage test.
4. After the degree of a vacuum reaches 5 torr, continue the vacuuming

- Connect transmission line between main and sub outdoor unit through the terminal block.
- Connect transmission lines between outdoor unit and indoor/HR units through the terminal block.
- When the central control system is connected to the outdoor unit, a dedicated PCB must be connected
between them.
- When connecting transmission line between outdoor unit and indoor/HR units with shielded wire,
connect the shield ground to the earth screw
The temperature sensor for outdoor air should not be exposed to direct sunlight.

4) Separation of transmission and power lines
If transmission and power lines are run alongside each other then there is a strong likelihood of operational
faults developing due to interference in the signal wiring caused by electrostatic and electromagnetic coupling.
The tables below indicates our recommendation as to appropriate spacing of transmission and power lines
where these are to be run side by side
The figures are based on assumed length of
parallel cabling up to 100m. For length in excess
of 100m the figures will have to be recalculated in
direct proportion to the additional length of line
involved.

6.3.5 Leakage Test
6. Installation
Leak test should be made by pressurizing nitrogen gas to 3.8 MPa(38.7kgf/cm2). If the pressure does not
drop for 24 hours, the system passes the test. If the pressure drops, check where the nitrogen leaks. For
the test method, refer to the following figure. (Make a test with the service valves closed. Be also sure to
pressurize liquid pipe, gas pipe and high/low pressure common pipe) The test result can be judged good if
the pressure has not be reduced after leaving for about one day after completion of nitrogen gas
pressurization.

7.2 Checking point
7.2.1 Checks Before Test Run
7. Start up
1 Check to see whether there is any refrigerant leakage, and slack of power or transmission cable.
2 Confirm that 500 V shows 2 M or more between power supply terminal block and ground. Do not operate in the case of 2 M or less.
NOTE: Never carry out M check over terminal control board. Otherwise the control board
would be broken.
Immediately after mounting the unit or after leaving it turned off for an extended length of time,
the resistance of the insulation between the power supply terminal board and the ground may
decrease to approx. 2 M as a result of refrigerant accumulating in the internal compressor.
If the insulation resistance is less than 2 M, turning on the main power supply and energizing
the crankcase heater for more than 6 hours will cause the refrigerant to evaporate, increasing
the insulation resistance.
Copyright 2010 @LG Electronics / AC Company All Rights ReservedMulti V 106
the insulation resistance.
3 Check if high/low pressure common pipe, liquid pipe and gas pipe valves are fully opened.
NOTE: Be sure to tighten caps.
4 Check if there are any problems in automatic addressing or not:
Check and confirm that there are no error messages in the display of indoor units or remote controls
and LED in outdoor units.
CAUTION
While cutting main power of the Multi V,
Always apply main power of the outdoor unit during use of product (cooling season/heating season).
Always apply power 6 hours in advance to heat the crank case heater where performing test run after installation of product. It may result in burning out of the compressor if not preheating the crank case with the electrical heater for more than 6 hours. (In case of the outdoor temperature below 10C)
