Generation 4 Indoor Units
LG’s indoor units are designated Generation 4 (Gen 4). For Gen
4 indoor units to operate with Gen 4 indoor unit features, the air con-
ditioning system must meet the following requirements:
• All indoor units, heat recovery units, and air / water source units
must be Gen 4 or higher. Gen 4 ODU and IDU model numbers
end in “4.” HRU model numbers end in “02A” or “03A.”
• All air / water source units must have Gen 4 or higher software
factory or field installed.
• Air / water source units DIP switch 3 must be set to ON
(factory default setting is OFF).
• All controllers must support Gen 4 indoor unit features.
The figure at right shows the outdoor unit DIP switch. All air and
water source units, indoor units, heat recovery units, and controllers
in a system must be Gen 4 compatible or the system will not operate
with Gen 4 indoor unit features.
If the ODU is powered On when dipswitch 3 is set to ON position,
power must be cycled to the ODU or PCB reset for the setting to
take effect.

*Low ambient performance with LGRED° heat technology is included in Multi V 5 air source units produced after February 2019.
PRHR*3 Heat Recovery Units
The PRHR*3A series of heat recovery units were released in June 2018, and are not automatically backwards compatible with all LG manu-
factured VRF air / water source units. The 3A heat recovery units will be compatible with many LG manufactured air source / water source
units if its “Starting Production Date,” the “Production Starting Serial No.,” and / or the “Upgrade Software Service” dates fall after the dates
shown below (see table).
LG VRF systems can operate with both old 2A heat recovery units and new 3A heat recovery units if the outdoor unit software has been
upgraded. If a system includes a mix of both old and new heat recovery units, system design must follow 2A heat recovery unit series piping
rules. For more information, contact your local LG sales representative.

LGRED° Technology
LGRED technology is included in Multi V 5 air-source units produced after February 2019. The feature allows heat pump or heat recovery
systems to operate in heating only mode (i.e., all indoor units in heating mode) down to -22°F outdoor ambient wet bulb by updating the main
PCB software (v1.26) and replacing an air temperature sensor. Multi V 5 air-source units without these changes can only operate down to
-13°F. For more information, contact your local LG sales representative.
