Heat Pump systems can operate in cooling mode from 5°F to 122°F outdoor ambient dry bulb. Optional low am- bient cooling kit extends the cooling only operating range (i.e., all indoor units in cooling mode) down to -9.9°F. See the Multi V 5 Installation Manual for DIP switch settings for Heat Pump operation.
MECHANICAL SPECIFICATIONS Multi V 5 Outdoor Units Fans and Motors All outdoor unit frames <80MBh include one direct drive, variable speed, biomimetic enhanced, propeller type fan. All outdoor unit frames >80MBh include two direct drive, variable speed, biomimetic enhanced, propeller type fans. All fan motors have inherent protection, permanent- ly lubricated bearings, and are variable speed with a maximum speed up to 1,150 rpm.

(ZLABKA51A and ZLABKA52A) Optional low ambient baffle kits allow for Multi V 5 outdoor unit operation down to -9.9°F in cooling mode. When used with heat recovery operation, low ambient cooling to -9.9°F is possible only when all indoor units are operating in cooling mode. The low ambient wind baffle kit does not impact synchronous operating range.

MECHANICAL SPECIFICATIONS Heat Recovery Units Four-port Heat Recovery Unit. Multi V Heat Recovery Units General Multi V heat recovery units are for use with Multi V heat recovery outdoor units to permit simultaneous heating and cooling operation. Heat recovery units have two (2), three (3), or four (4) ports for connections to indoor units. Each port is capable of connecting from one (1) indoor unit up to eight (8) indoor units up to a maximum nominal recovery unit ports twinned together with a Y-branch kit.
GENERAL DATA Figure 19: Two-Port Heat Recovery Unit. Figure 20: Three-Port Heat Recovery Unit. Figure 21: Four-Port Heat Recovery Unit. Heat recovery units can only be used with LG systems piped for heat recovery operation. Table 16: Model PRHR022A PRHR032A...

ACCESSORIES Y-Branch Combining Heat Recovery Ports for Large Indoor Units It is necessary to combine two ports on a system designed for heat recovery operation when installing a single indoor unit with a capacity exceeding 54,000 Btu/h. Two neighboring heat recovery ports are combined using a reverse Y-branch that is then connected to the one large indoor unit.

REFRIGERANT PIPING FOR SEPARATED OUTDOOR UNITS Dual-frame and triple-frame systems should be installed with all outdoor units located next to each other. In conditions where the dual-frame or triple-frame outdoor units need to be separated, the following rules must be followed: 1.
Page 95
REFRIGERANT PIPING FOR SEPARATED OUTDOOR UNITS 1. Inverted traps are required when: a. Piping in a horizontal direction from the outdoor Y-branch towards an outdoor unit or another outdoor unit Y-branch is greater than 6.6’. The inverted trap should be installed close to the outdoor unit Y-branch (no more than 6.6’ away). b.
PLACEMENT CONSIDERATIONS Selecting the Best Location for the Outdoor Unit(s) Selecting the Best Location for the Outdoor Unit(s) DANGER • Do not install the unit in an area where combustible gas may generate, flow, stagnate, or leak. These conditions can cause a fire, result- ing in bodily injury or death.
Page 98
PLACEMENT CONSIDERATIONS Selecting the Best Location for the Outdoor Unit(s) Planning for Snow and Ice, continued. Choose an area where run-off from defrost mode will not accumulate and freeze on sidewalks or driveways. Properly install and insulate any drain hoses to prevent the hose from freezing, cracking, leaking, and damaging the outdoor unit. The system may take longer to provide heat, or heating performance will be reduced in winter if the outdoor unit is installed: 1.
PLACEMENT CONSIDERATIONS Outdoor Unit Clearance Requirements Outdoor Unit Installation Space Proper airflow through the outdoor unit coil is critical for proper unit operation. When installing the outdoor unit, consider service, inlet, and outlet, and minimum allowable space requirements as illustrated in the diagrams below. Example No.
Installing Outdoor Units Indoors LG Multi V outdoor units are engineered to be mounted outdoors and include technology designed to minimize the negative effects of winter weather’s freezing rain, sleet, and snow. Some building projects, however, necessitate placing the HVAC outdoor units indoors: •...

• Install the refrigerant piping and electrical wiring system in an easily accessible location. Dont’s • Refrigerant pipes must not exceed lengths specified by LG Electronics. • Do not install the heat recovery unit in a location where it would be subjected to strong radiation heat from heat sources.
