LG SIMS - Self Diagnosis Functions

LG SIMs

WLAN Module

LG SIMs App

on Smart Phone

The SIMs WLAN module and the smart phone app together provide monitoring and trou-

bleshooting capability for LG Duct Free Systems. SIMs functions only with LG Duct Free

products. LG SIMs can also be used with Single Zone one-to-one configurations such as the

Single Zone VAHU systems.
SIMs can display and graph operational data for the air conditioner system including the

indoor unit and the outdoor unit. SIMs also displays error codes and a troubleshooting guide.

A full copy of the LG SIMs Smart Inverter Monitoring System User’s Manual is available on

the www.lghvac.com website.
To use SIMs, you must be a trained HVAC service technician familiar with variable refrig-

erant flow (VRF) systems in general, and with LG’s Duct Free System products. You must

understand the inverter air conditioning operation cycle, the meaning of the data displayed by

SIMs, and how to use the data to troubleshoot the system.

• The air conditioning system must run for at least

15–20 minutes before data collected by SIMs 2.0 is

valid for troubleshooting.

• The free SIMs app must be correctly installed on

the smart phone before using SIMs.

• Some outdoor units have an LGMV extension cable

accessed by removing the side handle cover. If the

outdoor unit does not have this extension cable,

access the LGMV connector by removing the top

cover of the outdoor unit.

High voltages capable of causing death are used

in this equipment. Outdoor unit power remains con-

nected during this procedure. Take extreme caution

not to touch electrical components or connections.

Failure to observe this warning can result in death

or severe injury.
