- Improper installation may cause the unit to topple and result in injury.

Safety Precautions
• Do not install the product on a defective installation stand.
- It may cause injury, accident, or damage to the product.
• When installing and moving the air conditioner to another site, do not charge it with a different
refrigerant from the refrigerant specified on the unit.
- If a different refrigerant or air is mixed with the original refrigerant, the refrigerant cycle may
malfunction and the unit may be damaged.
• Do not reconstruct to change the settings of the protection devices.
- If the pressure switch, thermal switch, or other protection device is shorted and operated forcibly, or
parts other than those specified by LGE are used, fire or explosion may result.
• Ventilate before operating air conditioner when gas leaked out.
- It may cause explosion, fire, and burn.
• Securely install the cover of control box and the panel.
- If the cover and panel are not installed securely, dust or water may enter the MULTI V M and fire or
electric shock may result.
• If the air conditioner is installed in a small room, measures must be taken to prevent the refrigerant
concentration from exceeding the safety limit when the refrigerant leaks.
- Consult the dealer regarding the appropriate measures to prevent the safety limit from being
exceeded. Should the refrigerant leak and cause the safety limit to be exceeded, harzards due to
lack of oxygen in the room could result
• Use a vacuum pump or inert(nitrogen) gas when doing leakage test or air purge. Do not compress air
or Oxygen and do not use flammable gas es. Otherwise, it may cause fire or explosion.
- There is the risk of death, injury, fire or explosion.
Operation
• Do not damage or use an unspecified power cable.
• Use a dedicated power cable for this appliance.
- There is risk of fire or electrical shock.
• Be cautious that water could not enter the product.
- There is risk of fire, electric shock, or product damage.
• Do not touch the power switch with wet hands.
• When the product is soaked (flooded or submerged), contact an Authorized Service Center.
• Be cautious not to touch the sharp edges when installing.
- It may cause injury.
• Take care to ensure that nobody could step on or fall onto the MULTI V M.
- This could result in personal injury and product damage.
• Do not open the inlet grille of the product during operation. (Do not touch the electrostatic filter, if the
unit is so equipped.)
- There is risk of physical injury, electric shock, or product failure.

Safety Precautions
CAUTION
Installation
• Always check for gas (refrigerant) leakage after installation or repair of product.
- Low refrigerant levels may cause failure of product.
• Do not install the product where the noise or hot air from the MULTI V M could damage the
neighborhoods.
- It may cause a problem for your neighbors.
• Keep level even when installing the product.
- To avoid vibration or water leakage.
• Do not install the unit where combustible gas may leak.
- If the gas leaks and accumulates around the unit, an explosion may result.
• Use power cables of sufficient current carrying capacity and rating.
- Cables that are too small may leak, generate heat, and cause a fire.
• Do not use the product for special purposes, such as preserving foods, works of art, etc. It is a
consumer air conditioner, not a precision refrigeration system.
- There is risk of damage or loss of property.
• Keep the unit away from children. The heat exchanger is very sharp.
- It can cause the injury, such as cutting the finger. Also the damaged fin may result in degradation of
capacity.
• When installting the unit in a hospital, communication station, or similar place, provide sufficient
protection against noise.
- The inverter equipment, private power generator, high-frequency medical equipment, or radio
communication equipment may cause the air conditioner to operate erroneously, or fail to operate.
On the other hand, the air conditioner may affect such equipment by creating noise that disturbs
medical treatment or image broadcasting.
• Do not install the product where it is exposed to sea wind (salt spray) directly.
- It may cause corrosion on the product. Corrosion, particularly on the condenser and evaporator fins,
could cause product malfunction or inefficient operation.
Operation
• Do not use the air conditioner in special environments.
- Oil, steam, sulfuric smoke, etc. can significantly reduce the performance of the air conditioner or
damage its parts.

Function
1.3 EEV control

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

Subcooling EEV works with fuzzy rules to keep the degree of Subcool at the outlet of subcooler during
cooling mode
The degree of Subcool = Tcondensation - Tliquid
Tliquid : temperature at outlet of subcooler(°C)
Tcondensation : condensation temperature equivalent to high pressure(°C)
(3) Avoiding excessive high discharge temperature : when main EEV opens some given opening and dis-
charge temperature is above 85°C in heating operation, subcooling EEV may control the "subcooling
out temperature-evaporating temperature" to be some given difference.

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 communication cable.
2 Confirm that 500 V megger shows 2.0 MΩ or more between power supply terminal block and ground.
Do not operate in the case of 2.0 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, 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.
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 MULTI V M.
CAUTION
when cutting main power of the Multi V
• Always apply main power of the MULTI V M during use of product
(cooling season/heating season).
• Always apply power before 4 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
CAUTION
Preheat of compressor
• Start preheat operation for 4 hours after supplying main power.
• In case that the outdoor temperature is low, be sure to supply power 4 hours before operation so

[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.
1) If using a movable tester when checking that output voltage of the inverter is constant (when comparing rela-
tive voltage between lines), always use an analog tester. Especially exercise particular caution if the output
frequency 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 failure 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 gen-
eral movable tester (For analog and digital mode).

2.6 Pressure Sensor(High/Low Pressure Sensor)

Connect manifold gauge to the service valve of Compressor Module, and compare the output of high pressure
sensor to the output of low pressure sensor to detect the defect.
below) Compare the output of pressure sensor to the output of manifold gauge pressure using the table below.
Read the pressure clearly between black and white as the composition of pressure sensor.
<Low Pressure Sensor> <High Pressure Sensor>

OUTPUT CHARACTERISTICS OUTPUT CHARACTERISTICS
1) If the pressure of manifold gauge is 0~1kg/cm2, it indicates the pressure got lower due to the leakage of refriger-
ant. Find the place of leakage and fix it.
2) If the difference of the outputs of high and low pressure is in the range of 1kg/cm2, the pressure sensor is normal.
3) If the difference of the outputs of high and low pressure is over 1kg/cm2, the pressure sensor is out of order, it
need to be replaced.
4) The composition of pressure sensor

The pressure sensor is composed like the circuit picture shown above. If DC 5V voltage flows on red and black
wire, voltage would be made between the white and black wire. The pressure which is equivalent to the pressure
output is shown in the table above.
2.7 Outdoor Fan

1) The outdoor fan is controlled by the inverter motor which can control the number of rotations.
2) The outdoor fan is controlled by the high/low pressure of the Compressor Module after the operation of com-
pressor.
3) There is possibility that the outdoor fan does not operate due to low capacity operation or low outdoor tempera-
ture even if the compressor is operating. This does not mean breakdown of the unit, the fan will start operating if
it reaches the set point.
