• When transporting the outdoor unit, suspending it at the specified
positions on the unit base. Also support the outdoor unit at four
points so that it cannot slip sideways.

Function
1.3 EEV control

(1) EEV control
EEV operates with fuzzy control rules to keep the degree of super Heat(Superheat) (about 3°C(6°F)at the
evaporator outlet stable during heating mode
The degree of Superheat = Tsuction - Tevaporation
Tsuction : temperature at suction pipe sensor(°C/°F)
Tevaporation : evaporation temperature equivalent to low pressure(°C/°F)
(2) Subcooling EEV control(about 15°C( °F))

Subcooling EEV works with fuzzy rules to keep the degree of Subcool at the outlet of subcooler during
cooling mode
The degree of Subcool = Tsubcool_out - Tevaporation
Tsubcool_out : temperatrue at outlet of subcooler(°C/°F)
Tevaporation : evaporation temperature equivalent to low pressure(°C/°F)

PCB Setting and Test Run

Test Run
Test Run
1. Checks before Test Run
1 Check to see whether there is any refrigerant leakage, and slack of power or transmission cable.
2 Confirm that 500 V megger shows 2 MΩ or more between power supply terminal block and ground.
Do not operate in the case of 2 MΩ or less.
NOTE: Never carry out megaohm 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 MΩ as a result of refrigerant accumulating in the internal compressor.
If the insulation resistance is less than 2 MΩ, turn on the main power supply for more than 6 hours.
That will make refrigerant evaporate so that makes insulation resistance increase.
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
When 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 before 6 hours 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
10°C(50°F))
• When operating the unit after powering off, automatically run into in the preheat mode for 3 hours
and "PH" is indicated on the outdoor unit 7-Segment.
CAUTION
Preheat of compressor
• Start preheat operation for 3 hours after supplying main power.
• In case that the outdoor temperature is low, be sure to supply power 6 hours before operation so
that the heater is heated(insufficient heating may cause damage of the compressor.)

■ Setting the DIP switch

• Set the Dip switch with the power turned off. If you change the setting when the power is on, the changed
setting is not applied immediately. The changed setting is applied at the moment that the power is on.
• Instant indoor unit checking, data display mode, and forced oil collecting operation are used when theunits
are running. If you don't have to use those functions after using them, restore the Dip switch setting.

Replacement procedure for Compressor
Replacement procedure for Compressor

1. Carry out "Pump Out" function to accumulate
refrigerant outside of outdoor unit or collect refrig-
erant by using refrigerant recovery unit.
(Refer to DIP switch setting for Pump Out)
2. Remove the sound proof covering the faulty com-
pressor, and disconnect the power

discharge pipe by using brazing torch after the refrig-
erant has been pumped out or collected completely.
4. Remove three nuts at cushion rubber section to
take out the faulty compressor outside the unit.
<Figure 1> <Figure 1>
5. Install the new compressor in the unit.(Be sure to
insert the cushion rubbers before tightening the
fixing nut of compressor.)
6. Remove the rubber caps put on the suction and
discharge pipe of the new compressor to release
the sealing nitrogen gas.
7. Braze the suction and discharge pipe with brazing Charging
torch to the compressor. port
8. If pump out is carried out, connect manifold to the
charging port. <Figure 2>
9. Conduct air tight test to check the piping system is
free from leakage.
10. Connect power cable to the terminal board of
compressor and cover the compressor with
sound proof. <Figure 3>
11. Conduct vacuum.
(Refer to DIP switch setting for vacuum mode) <Figure 2>
12. After completion of vacuum, if pump out is carried

[Cautions when measuring voltage and current of inverter power circuit]

Measuring values may differ depending on measuring tools and measuring circuits since voltage, current in the
power supply or output side of the inverter has no since waveform.
Especially, output voltage changes when output voltage of the inverter has a pattern of pulse wave.
In addition, measuring values appear largely differently depending on measuring tools.
Note
1) If using a movable tester when checking that output voltage of the inverter is constant (when comparing relative
voltage between lines), always use an analog tester. Especially exercise particular caution if the output frequen-
cy of the inverter is low, when using a movable tester, where change of measured voltage values is large
between other lines, when virtually same values appear actually or where there is danger to determine that fail-
ure of the inverter occurred.
2) You can use rectification voltmeter ( ) if using commercial frequency tester when measuring output values of
the inverter (when measuring absolute values). Accurate measuring values cannot be obtained with a general
movable tester (For analog and digital mode).

are no matters equivalent to items as specified in
above 1) through 4).
(Carefully check both connector and grounding
wires when replacing the circuit board.)
1. Replace only fan control boards.
If starting is done, it means that the fan control
board has defect.
2. Replace both fan control board and the main
board.
If starting is done, it means that the main board

• Although the quantity of indoor units installed is same as LGMV data there may be a few indoor units with
which the number of transmission is not increased with LGMV
• Although the quantity of indoor units installed is not same as LGMV data, and if transmission of the indoor unit
displayed at LGMV is done well then the indoor unit suspected to have some problem (and is not appear at
LGMV) may have following problems
➀ wrong connection of transmission cable or power cable
➁ fault of power / PCB / transmission cable
➂ duplication of indoor unit number
• If transmission is not doing well wholly then the Auto Addressing is not done
• The case that CH53 appear at indoor unit also Auto Addressing is not done so indoor unit address may be
duplicated
• After replacement of indoor unit PCB, Auto Addressing should be done, if central controller is installed then the
central control address also should be input.
In case that only transmission PCB is replaced above process is not needed
