Wired Controller Connections Controllers can connect to the indoor unit in one of two different ways. 1. LG Wired Remote Extension Cable with Molex plug (PZCWRC1; sold separately) that connects to the CN-REMO terminal on the indoor unit PCB. 2. Field-supplied controller cable that connects to the indoor unit terminal block (must be at least UL2547 or UL1007, 22 AWG, two-core, one-shield core, at least FT-6 rated if local electric and building codes require plenum cable usage).
(if applicable) for each indoor unit. Avoid oversizing indoor units in an attempt to increase the air exchange rate in the space. Multi F and Multi F MAX systems are designed for minimum airflow over the coil to maximize latent capacity while cooling, maintain a comfortable, consistent discharge air temperature while heating, and minimize fan motor power consumption.

In some designs, oversized indoor units may be unavoidable in the case where the smallest size indoor unit available from LG is larger than what is necessary to satisfy the zone load. This scenario may also occur when an indoor unit selection one size down from the selected unit is slightly short of fulfilling the design load requirements, and the designer must choose the next larg- est size unit.

To evaluate the total outdoor unit capacity at design conditions perform a selection using LATS Multi F software (preferred method) or refer- ence the Performance Data Capacity Tables found in the Multi F outdoor unit section in this manual. All design temperatures are not explicitly shown in the charts, therefore, interpolation may be necessary to calculate the capacity for specific design conditions.

EQUIPMENT SELECTION PROCEDURE MULTI Using the System Combination Tables Multi F system combination tables illustrate how each indoor unit receives a percentage of total outdoor unit rated capacity. Allocation is based on: • Combinations of Non-Ducted Indoor Units • Combinations of Ducted Indoor Units •...

Method 3: Unconditioned Outdoor Air Ducted to Indoor Units Untreated outdoor air is channeled through a duct system that is piped to the return air duct on Multi F ducted indoor units or to the frame of Multi F four-way cassettes.
Page 183
Method 4: Coupled Dedicated Outdoor Air (CDOA) A separate, dedicated outdoor air system delivers air directly to a Multi F indoor unit or to the return air duct system. After mixing with the return air stream, ventilation air passes through the indoor unit and into the conditioned space. The pretreatment system is capable of filtering, conditioning, and dehumidifying outdoor air to room neutral conditions.
Selecting the Best Location for the Branch Distribution (BD) Unit Branch Distribution (BD) units are used only with Multi F MAX systems to distribute the refrigerant from the outdoor unit to up to eight indoor units. Select location indoors that will meet the following conditions: •...

The following are examples of manual pipe size calculations. Designers are highly encouraged to use LATS for Multi F systems. Device Connection Limitations • The minimum number of connected and operating indoor units to Multi F / Multi F MAX systems is two, taking into consideration of the minimum combination ratio.
REFRIGERANT PIPING DESIGN MULTI Design Guideline Summary The following are examples of manual pipe size calculations. Designers are highly encouraged to use LATS for Multi F systems. Multi F MAX System with One Branch Distribution Unit Example: LMU540HV outdoor unit with four (4) indoor units, and one (1) branch distribution unit connected.
7. Verify the size of the liquid and vapor lines. 8. If a Multi F MAX system, refer to the branch distribution unit information on page 205 and the Y-branch kit information on page 211 to verify the part number of each Y-branch and branch distribution unit based on the connected downstream nominal capacity served.
REFRIGERANT PIPING DESIGN MULTI Refrigerant Charge LG Multi F and Multi F MAX outdoor units ship from the factory with a charge of Table 111:Outdoor Unit Factory Charge. R410A refrigerant. A trim charge may need to be added to take into account...
Reclamation of refrigerant, then, can be restricted to a single indoor unit. For Multi F MAX systems, position valves with a minimum distance of three (3) to six (6) inches of pipe on either side of the valve, and placed between six (6) and twelve (12) inches from the first upstream Y-branch or branch distribution unit.
Check the fit of the insulation jacket after the header fitting and all run-out pipes are installed. Mark all pipes at the point where the insulation jacket ends. Remove the jacket. Install field provided insulation on the run-out and main trunk pipes first. Install the LG-pro- vided insulation plugs on the ends of all unused header ports.

Power Wiring and Communications Cable Installation For both Multi F and Multi F MAX systems, power is wired to the outdoor unit only. The outdoor unit will supply power to the branch distribu- tion units (Multi F MAX systems only) and the indoor units through the power wiring / communications cable.
