INSTALLATION
Outdoor Units
48
Outdoor Unit Installation
•On most commercial installations, placement of the outdoor unit is
determined by the site designer
•On light commercial/residential installations, it may be up to the lead
installer to decide the proper location of the outdoor unit
•Outdoor unit placement considerations:
•Noise
•Defrost (water run off in winter season)
•Snow fall level
•Site occupants
•Condenser air flow
•Future maintenance / service considerations
49
Outdoor Unit Location Considerations
•When placing the outdoor unit within confined spaces, refer to
the Engineering Manual and/or Installation manual for all
clearances
•Be sure to allow proper space for future service, and air-flow
through the outdoor unit for proper operation
•When installing the outdoor unit, also consider prevailing
winds and seasonal conditions

unit/heat recovery unit refrigerant
piping system
• The slave1 unit must always be
the next largest capacity outdoor
unit in a dual or triple frame
system, and must be larger than
the slave 2 unit
• The slave 2 unit must be the
smallest capacity outdoor unit in a
triple frame system
66
Installing Multi V IV & 5 ODUs Inside
• LG Multi V outdoor units are typically mounted outdoors and
include technology designed to minimize the negative effects of
winter weather’s freezing rain, sleet, and snow. However, some
projects may require installing the ODUs indoors:
• Lack of ground space
• Lack of an appropriate outdoor location that meets system design requirements
• When mounting on the roof is not an option due to a lack of roof space
• Roof warranty will be voided if mechanical equipment is placed on the
membrane
• On retrofit projects, a former chiller/boiler/air handler equipment room,
mechanical area, or penthouse already exists
• Where a project has vertical, self-contained VAV air handlers on each floor (in
lieu of a centralized mechanical room)
• To curtail the potential need for redundant zone heating devices such as wall-
fin radiators or duct heaters
• In extremely cold environments where there is a significant amount of run-time
at temperatures well below freezing outside the outdoor unit ambient air
temperature range published in this engineering manual
• Refer to the Installation and Engineering Manuals for more information
67
INSTALLATION
Refrigerant Piping
68
Pre-Installation Considerations
Plan Your Project Management
•The system designer uses LATS software to create a system
drawing. To reduce the risk of design errors, LG requires that LATS
software be used on all Multi V projects. LATS ensures the pipe sizes
and lengths will work.
•There must be a LATS diagram of the system ON-SITE for reference.
•If any changes to the piping plan are required on-site, a new LATS
report including the changes must be run BEFORE the changes are
done or the system may not perform as designed.
•On-site changes may require changing pipe sizes or IDU capacities.
•Be sure you understand all your organization’s diagrams for this job.
•Keep notes of the job progress, especially of any changes to the
initial installation plans. Fill out the appropriate section of the
checklist as each phase of installation is completed.
69
•While piping work is in progress, please keep track of sizes, lengths,
and quantity of long radius 90s used in each run
•LATS will calculate the additional charge if we know this information
•This is the ONLY way to accurately calculate the total refrigerant

charge
•The calculated additional refrigerant charge will be added to the

system on commissioning day (Factory assistance required )
• Outdoor unit service valves are not to be opened until LG

commissioner is onsite
• Do not apply power to outdoor units, indoor units, or heat recovery

units during piping
• Doing so will cause EEVs to close and prevent proper nitrogen flow
• Wait for the proper time to do so, as explained later in this training
70
Installation Order
Outdoor Units First? Or Indoor Units? Or . . . ?
• Each job is unique. Your organization will determine the appropriate order of
system component installation.
• A typical installation order could be outdoor unit(s), indoor unit(s), refrigerant
piping, wiring, and controls, but order will vary
• Follow the LATS diagram for refrigerant piping
• Follow your organization’s diagrams for all other component locations
• Be sure to review the detailed component location information in each
component’s installation manual
• If you have questions, contact your LG representative
71
Refrigerant Piping Installation
Correct Piping is Required for a Successful System Installation
• The refrigerant piping is selected in the design phase by the system

designer using LATS software
• ALWAYS install piping according to the LATS diagram
• If piping changes must be made due to on-site conditions, the changes must
be input to LATS and re-verified BEFORE installing the changed piping
• Multi V systems use R410A refrigerant
• All copper pipe used must be rated for R410A refrigerant
• Use only R410A flaring tools
• Use only LG headers and Y-branches
• 90-degree and 45-degree elbows are allowed
• “T” connections are NOT allowed
• All exposed copper pipe must be insulated
• Pipe runs must be supported and must allow for expansion due to
temperature changes
72
Refrigerant Piping Size Verification via LATS
• Your LATS piping diagram MUST be supplied to you by the Applied Rep firm or, in
the case of design build, by the LG trained designer ( No pipe work should ever
be done without a LATS piping diagram )
• All pipe sizes to be installed MUST have originated from a LATS design file
produced by an LG trained designer.
• If pipe routing or unit locations are changed from the most recent LATS file, it is
CRITICAL that a revised LATS design be performed prior to pipe work.
73
Refrigerant Piping Size Verification via LATS
• It is required that indoor / outdoor unit locations and pipe routes be finalized prior to
pipe work to determine actual lengths
• As piping installation is started, all changes in proposed lengths must be forwarded
to the designer for re-calculation in LATS and a NEW Field Drawing produced
before pipe is installed
• Also pay attention to a possible change in unit capacities as pipe lengths change!
If pipe lengths to be installed are not those as specified in LATS, a

new LATS file MUST be produced BEFORE pipe work begins!

• While piping work is in progress, please keep track of sizes, lengths, and
quantity of long radius 90s used in each run.
• LATS will calculate the additional charge if we know this information.
• This is the ONLY way to accurately calculate the total refrigerant charge.
• The calculated additional refrigerant charge will be added to the system on

commissioning day (Factory assistance required).
• Outdoor unit service valves are not to be opened until LG commissioner is

onsite.
• Do not energize outdoor units, indoor units, or Heat Recovery units during
piping
• Doing so will cause EEVs to close and prevent proper nitrogen flow.
• Wait for the proper time to do so, as explained later in this training.
78
Refrigerant Full Port Ball Valves
• On a project that has long pipe runs and a large quantity of indoor units, it may be
desirable to install ball valves at each indoor unit.
• This will enable you to easily make future piping or indoor unit repairs without recovering the entire
system charge.
• Ball valves may also be desired if future expansion is a possibility.
• If ball valves are used, valves with Schrader ports should be used to facilitate recovery and
evacuation.
• For Heat Recovery Systems, ball valves should be placed at the outlet of the heat recovery box to
avoid potential oil traps.
If using ball valves, they must be full port valves and rated only for R410A.
Ball Valve Schrader ports must
face the indoor units
Indoor Y-branch
79
R410A Refrigerant Service Port Access
Note: R410A service port access requires a special adapter to attach

standard 1/4” hoses.
• A set of dedicated gauges with 5/16” hoses is highly recommended so

as not to contaminate the system with other oils such as mineral and
POE.
80
Benefits of PVE Oil
• Oil Contamination
Inside of Capillary Tubes

1,500 hour failure test - blockage and moisture
PVE POE
• PVE oil does not burn or turn into a fatty acid
• No hydrolysis
81
Hydrolysis
• Hydrolysis is a chemical reaction that occurs with moisture and results
in the formation of acids that are detrimental to the reliability and
performance of the system.
• It is virtually nonexistent with PVE lubricants, but has been an issue

with POE oils in certain applications.
• Refrigeration systems are often ideal environments for hydrolysis due to

the combination of moisture, heat, and other contaminants that can act
as catalysts.
82
Hydrolysis
• Once in the system, the acids can start to deteriorate motor insulation
and other nonmetallic (e.g., elastomeric seals) found in the compressor
and other system components.
• Hydrolysis in POE oils will also result in the production of an iron

carbonate soap, which can coat and plug up filters and other system
components, negatively impacting the performance and reliability of the
refrigeration system.

Piping Rules
• PLEASE DO NOT…
• Install driers, sight glasses, solenoid valves, or any other components in the
piping network
• Full Port Ball Valves, if applicable, are the only exception
84
Refrigerant Pipe Selection
• Type ACR dehydrated copper tubing.
• Copper piping for air conditioning and refrigeration field installation is

designated by outside diameter.
• Drawn temper - also called “hard” or “rigid” tubing can be used.
• Annealed temper - also called “soft” tubing can be used.
85
Best Practices
86
Cutting Refrigerant Pipe
Piping Installation Best Practices
• Cutting the Piping
– The piping should be cut using the proper tool.
– Burrs should be removed using a sharp reamer.
– All piping should cleaned and prepped for brazing.
• Always follow the three principles for refrigerant piping installation:
• Dry—Make sure no moisture is inside the piping.
• Clean—Make sure there is no dirt inside the piping.
• Air Tight—All joints must be brazed or flared properly so the refrigerant does not
leak.
87
Pipe Flaring
• A dedicated R410A flaring tool is required. ALWAYS create a 45° flare
when working with R410A.
• Only use synthetic oil (PVE).
• Flare must be deeper to handle the higher pressures of R410A.
• Concentric cone and clutch to assure copper thickness, also to handle
the higher pressure.
Oil is needed between the nut and the flare ( not inside the pipe)
to achieve correct torque and prevent leaks.
88
Dedicated R410A Tool
• R410A systems operate at
high pressures
• The clutched handle
prevents the crushing of the
copper tube at the point of
flare. This helps maintain the
strength of the tube so it will
withstand the high pressure
operation.
• The concentric cone helps

make a uniform flare and
reduces the thinning of the
tube wall

Brazing with Nitrogen Purge
• Always use 15% silver braze and a
nitrogen purge during brazing.
• Flow nitrogen through pipe @ 2-5 CFH
during the brazing process to prevent
oxidation (exactly as if piping medical gas).
• Without Nitrogen • With Nitrogen
• Oxidation • No debris
• Debris

Insulation
• ALL pipe work must be insulated
• Use minimum 1/2” wall, closed cell tubing insulation
• Liquid, suction, and hot gas piping must be insulated separately

Pipe Expansion
• Expansion and contraction of copper piping system must be considered in
the design. Possible movement of the pipe system as the temperature
changes is about 0.001 inch per degree Fahrenheit per 10 feet of pipe.
• This is slightly more than iron or steel pipe and significantly less than plastic
pipe
• Vapor line can go from 50° to 170° when changing from cooling to heating
• This 120° temperature difference can cause up to 1-3/8” expansion /
contraction per 100 feet of pipe
96
Expansion and Contraction in Piping

Contraction
• Without an expansion joint, the pipe expansion will buckle the weakest point

ensure a leak does not develop at the Flare fitting. Remember the 20” rule
between fittings. This is simply illustrating the spacing needed for the bracket and
is not to scale.

Outdoor Unit Y-Branch Orientation
• Install ODU Y-branches in a horizontal or vertical UP configuration ONLY
• Vertical DOWN is not permitted
• When installed vertically, position Y-branch at a level lower than the ODU it
serves, so the straight-through leg is within ±3° of plumb
• When installed horizontally, the straight-through leg should be level, and
the branch leg should be within ±5° of horizontal rotation
• ODU Y-branches must always be installed with
the two port ends connected to the piping
coming from the outdoor units, and the single
port end towards the refrigerant piping system
supporting the heat recovery unit / indoor unit

INSTALLATION
Indoor Units
Indoor Unit Installation Considerations
• On most commercial installations, placement of the indoor units is determined
by the site designer.
• On light commercial / residential installations, it may be up to the lead

installer to decide proper location of the indoor units.
• Indoor unit placement considerations:

• Noise
• Space use
• Space occupants
• Air flow patterns
• Condensate drain
• Consideration to future maintenance / service
• Always follow the detailed instructions in the installation manual for each IDU.
149
Indoor Unit Placement
This placement information applies to ALL LG indoor units:
Indoor Units (IDUs) should not be placed in an environment where the
IDUs may be exposed to harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or in
environments where there is improper air make up or supply or inadequate
ventilation. If there are concerns about VOCs in the environment where the
IDUs are installed, proper air make up or supply and/or adequate ventilation
should be provided. Additionally, in buildings where IDUs will be exposed to
VOCs, consider a factory-applied epoxy coating to the fan coils for each IDU.
150
LG Generation 4 Indoor Units
• The latest versions of LG’s indoor units and outdoor (air/water source) units
are designated Generation 4 (Gen 4). For Gen 4 units to operate with Gen 4
features, the air conditioning system must meet the following requirements:
• All indoor units, Heat Recovery Units, and air/water source units must be Gen 4.
• All air/water source units must have Gen 4 software installed.
• Air/water source units DIP switch 3 must be set to ON (default setting is OFF).
• All remote and central controllers must
support Gen 4 features.
• Refer to details on next slide.

Wiring Requirements
1. Verify that the power unbalance between L1-L2, L2-L3, and L1-L3 is
no greater than 2%.
• If it is greater, the lifespan of the units will be reduced.
2. Make sure the power supply does not decrease or increase more than
10% of the rated voltage.
3. Follow local, state, and federal regulations for specific wiring requirements.
4. Always install breakers and fuses with the correct capacities.
• If fuses or copper wires with too large capacity are installed, it may cause a fire
or damage the unit
5. Ground wiring is required to prevent accidental electrical shock during

current leakage, communication problems from electrical noise, and motor
current leakage.
• Do not connect the ground line to the pipes.
6. The GND terminal at the main PCB is a “-” terminal for dry contact, not a
ground line.
180
Wiring Requirements
• LG and many foreign Ductless/VRF manufacturers use a “JIS” type of
screw.
• This type of screw looks very similar to a Phillips screw; however, a #1 or

#2 Phillips screwdriver doesn’t quite fit.
• If they are not too tight, they will back out without issue.
• It is likely you will strip the screw out using a standard Phillips head
screwdriver.
• The JIS screw is identifiable by a small dimple on the head of the screw.
• The JIS screwdrivers are readily available at many outlets in the US.

Operation
Power Wiring / Communication Cable Installation Best Practices
• Separating Power Wiring and Communication Cables

• Avoid running the power wiring and communication cable alongside each other;
there is a strong likelihood of operation malfunction due to electrostatic and
electromagnetic interference.
• Do not run power and control wiring in the same conduit.
• If running the power wiring and communication cable alongside each other
cannot be avoided, see the table below for minimum recommended distances.
Capacity of Power Supply Wiring (current) Recommended Minimum Distance1,2

10A 12 inches
50A 20 inches
100V or more
100A 40 inches
Exceeding 100A 60 inches
1. The figures above are based on parallel lengths up to 328 feet long. For lengths in excess of 328 feet,
the distances will have to be recalculated in direct proportion to the additional line lengths involved.
2. If the power supply waveform continues to exhibit some distortion, the space between the power wiring
and communication cable should be increased.
Control Wiring
• All control wiring (ODU to ODU, must be 18 gauge,
twisted, stranded, and shielded wire.
– Same as typically used in most HVAC DDC
systems.

210
Leak Check for Heat Recovery Systems
211
Leak Check
• Use only medical-grade dry nitrogen
• Do not apply power to the ODU(s), IDU(s), or HRU(s) before the test
1. Open any isolation ball valves in the piping system.
2. Verify all ODU service ports are closed.
a. Heat Pump: Liquid and vapor ports are closed (also unused service port).
b. Heat Recovery: Hot gas (high pressure vapor), liquid line, and suction (low
pressure vapor) ports are closed.
3. Remove caps on the Schrader ports.
4. Connect nitrogen cylinder regulator to gauge manifold.
5. Connect gauge manifold to Schrader ports on the ODU service ports. For
multi-frame ODUs, connect to the slave ODU farthest away from the piping
system and IDUs.
a. Heat Pump: Connect nitrogen cylinder regulator to gauge manifold, then
connect gauge manifold to Schrader ports on liquid and vapor line service ports.
b. Heat Recovery: Connect nitrogen cylinder regulator to gauge manifold, then
connect gauge manifold to Schrader ports on hot gas (high pressure vapor),
liquid, and suction (low pressure vapor) lines.
212
Leak Check – continued
6. Perform leak/pressure test at 150 psig for five (5) minutes.
7. If pressure does not hold, find and repair leaks.
8. Perform leak/pressure test at 300 psig for fifteen (15) minutes.
9. If pressure does not hold, find and repair leaks.
10. Perform leak/pressure test at 550 psig for twenty-four (24) hours.
11. If pressure holds for 24 hours, system passes the test. Note that ambient
temperature can affect the result. Refer to next slide (and the installation
manual) for details.
12. After the system has been thoroughly tested and no leaks are found,
depressurize by loosening the charging hose connector at the nitrogen
cylinder regulator. When system pressure returns to normal, completely
disconnect the charging hose from the cylinder, and release the nitrogen
charge from all refrigerant piping.
213
Ambient Conditions and the Leak Check
• If the ambient temperature changed between the time when pressure was
applied and when the pressure drop was checked, adjust results by
factoring in approximately 0.79 psi for each 1°F of temperature difference.
• Correction formula: (°F Temp when pressure was applied - °F Temp when
pressure drop was checked) x 0.79.
• Example: When pressure (550 psig) was applied, temperature was 80°F;
24 hours later when pressure drop (540 psig) was checked, temperature
was 68°F.
• Using the formula: (80°F - 68°F) x 0.79 = 9.5 psig.
• In this case, the pressure drop of 9.5 psig was due to temperature
differences; therefore, there is no leak in the refrigerant piping system.
214
Evacuation Test
Understanding proper evacuation techniques
and testing is
CRITICAL!
• Use only vacuum rated hoses or copper tubing,
and a leak-free manifold and gauge set
• Use only fresh vacuum pump oil from a properly

sealed container, and change oil in pump
before EVERY use
• Subsequent oil changes will be necessary after

several hours of continuous operation
• Use a quality micron gauge in good operating

order and install as far away from pump as
possible
215
Evacuation for Heat Pump Systems
216
Steps to a Proper Triple Evacuation
Step 1 – Evacuate the system to lowest micron level possible.
Step 2 – Break vacuum with 50psi nitrogen purge for appropriate amount of
time(this is to “sweep” moisture from piping).
Step 3 – Purge Nitrogen down to 1~3 PSI.
Step 4 – Evacuate to lowest micron level.
Step 5 – Break vacuum with 50psi nitrogen purge for appropriate amount
of time.
Step 6 – Purge Nitrogen down to 1~3 PSI.
Step 7 - Evacuate to static micron level of <500.
Step 8 – Micron level must remain < 500 for 24 hours.

Steps to a Proper Evacuation
1. Change pump oil with new oil from unopened
container and have extra oil on hand.
2. Connect all hoses, valves, and micro gauge
according to the heat pump or heat recovery
diagram.
3. Leave all outdoor unit service valves closed.
4. Open manifold and vacuum pump valves, leave
ball valve adapters closed.
5. Operate vacuum pump to test your equipment.
6. Gauge should read <100 microns within one
minute if hoses, manifold, and valves are leak
free (and oil is not moisture laden).
• Do not proceed until it does
7. Open adapter ball valves and pull vacuum on
piping and indoor units.
8. Make sure all IDU Ball Valves are open (if used).
218
Steps to a Proper Evacuation
9. When micron gauge reaches 1000, close vacuum pump valve for rise test
• Micron level should rise a bit, but MUST eventually stop rising for 15 minutes!!
10. If it does not stop rising, there is a leak. If it stops, re-open pump valve and
continue evacuation to lowest micron level possible (this could be as low
as 125 microns, depending on where gauge is connected).
11. Close pump valve and read actual system microns when gauge stays
steady at one reading for a minimum of 15 minutes
• If this happens above 500, continue evacuation until static micron level is <500
12. If vacuum does not rise, but 500 microns cannot be reached, triple
evacuation may be necessary
REMEMBER - MICRON READINGS ARE INVALID

WHEN PUMP IS PULLING ON MICRON GAUGE!!!
219
Triple Evacuation Method
1. Evacuate the system to lowest micron level possible
2. Break vacuum with 50psi nitrogen purge for appropriate amount of time
(this is to “sweep” moisture from piping)
3. Purge Nitrogen down to 1~3 PSI
4. Evacuate to lowest micron level
5. Break vacuum with 50psi nitrogen purge for appropriate amount of time
6. Purge Nitrogen down to 1~3 PSI
7. Evacuate to static micron level of <500
8. Micron level must remain <500 for 24 hours

Vacuum Mode for Heat Pump & Heat
Recovery Systems (optional)
• Vacuum mode is an option for creating vacuum in the system when the ODU is first
installed, if power is available and if the system has been auto addressed. Vacuum
mode enables the system to fully open all valves, and can help speed up the
evacuation process.

AUTO-ADDRESSING
Auto Addressing
1. Confirm that system is communicating by completing Auto Addressing
a. Auto Addressing - When activated, it is an automatic process that has to be
completed for the system to function. Auto Addressing is the Outdoor Unit
(ODU) sending out a communications signal via the Indoor Unit (IDU) daisy
chain to each IDU and Heat Recovery Unit (HRU), if applicable. The address is
for identification so that the ODU knows which IDU and HRU data is coming
from and going to.
b. To Auto Address, follow this procedure:
1. Turn on the circuit breaker for each IDU
and HRU (if applicable). Make sure that NO
IDU power buttons are turned on.
2. Turn on ODU power supply. After 3 full
minutes, the ODU display should be blank.
3. Press and hold the RED button on the Main
PCB for 3 to 4 seconds. Release the RED
button when the display changes to 88.
226
Auto Addressing
4. After about 3 to 7 minutes, the display will flash the number of IDUs found
and then the number of HRUs found (if applicable). This flashing of the IDU
and HRU numbers will only occur for about 15 seconds each.
5. If Auto Addressing was successful and all IDUs and HRUs are found, go to
Step 7.
6. If Auto Addressing failed to address all units, check the IDU daisy chain for
improper connections. Check that all the circuits on all IDUs and HRUs are
turned on. Repeat the Auto Addressing procedure until all units are
communicating with the ODU.
7. Back Up Compressor(s). To prevent accidental compressor(s) start, before
actual system commissioning, disable the compressor(s).
2. With Auto Addressing, Pressure Test, and Evacuation complete, gather the
following documents:
a. Before requesting commissioning, it is recommended that the following
checklists be reviewed. (After the checklist items have been verified, it is time to
proceed Auto Addressing.)
b. The checklist can also be helpful as a quick reference to the common do’s and
don’ts before and during the project installation.

Group Wiring Thermistor Sensor Selection
• Be careful about sensor selection!
• When the return air thermistor sensor is chosen, the indoor units will
operate independently of each other, maintaining a common set point
• They will not be able to operate in different modes simultaneously
• When the RC thermistor sensor is chosen, all units will operate together
as if they are one unit (all on/all off)
• They will also not be able to operate in different modes simultaneously
• If you want independent operation, but are introducing outdoor air to the
Indoor units, you will also need to use remote thermistor sensors
257
Thermistor Sensor Setting Considerations
• Indoor units will sense room temperature from a built-in return air
thermistor sensor
• When using this thermistor sensor, a wired remote does not need to be
within the controlled space
• When using a central controller, a remote does not need to be used at all
• When an indoor unit is connected to a wired remote controller then you

must select one of the following options:
• Use the remote controller’s internal thermistor sensor
• Use the indoor unit’s return air thermistor sensor
• Use the sensor which is furthest from set point
• Either the indoor unit or remote control thermistor sensor
• Unit return air thermistor sensor is set as default
258
Thermistor Sensor Setting Considerations
• When a wired remote is present, the recommended thermistor sensor is
the one in the remote, assuming the remote is located in a proper place for
room temperature sensing
• If desired, a wall mounted remote thermistor sensor (thermistor sensor

only) is also available for connection to the indoor unit, in place of the
return thermistor sensor
• Sensing from the wired remote or wall mounted remote thermistor sensor
should be used whenever outdoor air is introduced to an indoor unit
• When wireless remotes are used, the indoor unit’s return air thermistor
sensor will control operation
• The thermistor sensor in the wireless remote is for display indication only, and
may not be the same value
• A wall mounted remote thermistor sensor may be wired in place of the indoor
unit’s return air thermistor sensor if desired

• Settings are made using a wired remote and the information in the unit
engineering manual
• Let’s make an ESP setting to suit a sample project…

• We are using a Model ARNU423M2A4 designed to run at 1260 cfm
• Our duct system is designed to impose an ESP of .24” water column. Now to
the charts:
262
Static Pressure Field Settings - Example Project
• This indoor unit must deliver 1260 cfm @ .24” water column of ESP. (High Speed)
• The proper ESP setting value for these conditions is 120
• Do not select setting value 131 or higher, as it will cause the motor to ramp up higher than the
recommended speed for that static design resulting in potential premature failure
If you do not know the designed static pressure and required CFM of the ductwork,
request the information from the designer

Airflow Considerations
• Please note that an Indoor Unit fan will only run at this set speed and
resulting CFM when it is calling for heating or cooling.
• When “satisfied,” the fan will run at a very low speed (which is not
adjustable).
• If your project requires the delivered CFM to be constant, make the

following adjustment:
• For Ducted Units: Turn on DIP Switch No. 5 on the PCB
• For Ductless Units: Using Wide Wired Remote only
• Set Function Code 11 to value “02”
Remember - Power must always be cycled after any DIP Switch changes
