Terminal Connections
LG uses a “JIS” type of screw for all terminals; use a JIS screwdriver to tighten and
loosen these screws and avoid damaging the terminal.
Do not over tighten the
connections — over tightening will damage the terminals — but firmly and securely at-
tach the wiring in a way to prevent external forces from being imparted to the terminal
block.
• The terminals labeled “GND” are NOT ground terminals. The terminals labeled
ARE ground terminals.
• Polarity matters. Always connect “A” to “A” and “B” to “B.”
• Always create a wiring diagram that contains the exact sequence in which all the indoor units and branch distribution units (Multi F MAX
systems with or without LGRED only) are wired in relation to the outdoor unit.
•
Do not include splices or wire nuts in the communication cable.

• Always have a trained service provider properly ground the outdoor unit. If the outdoor unit is not properly grounded, there is a risk of
electric shock, physical injury, or death.
• Provide a circuit breaker between the power source and the outdoor unit. Failure to do so will cause bodily injury or death.
Power Supply / Power Wiring Specifications
• Multi F and Multi F MAX (with or without LGRED) systems operate at 1Ø, 208-230V, 60Hz, and power is wired to the outdoor unit only.
The outdoor unit will supply power to the indoor units and the branch distribution units (Multi F MAX [with or without LGRED] systems only)
through the communication / connection (power) cable (indoor units and branch distribution units draw minimum power). See the Multi F /
Multi F MAX Outdoor Unit Installation Manual or the Multi F / Multi F MAX with LGRED for information.
• Select power supply wire type and size based on NEC and local codes. Maximum voltage fluctuation ±10% of the nameplate rated value.
• Properly ground the outdoor unit / indoor units / branch distribution units per NEC and local codes.
• Ground wire must be longer than the common power / communication wires.
• Connect the wiring firmly so the wires cannot be easily pulled out.
• Refer to the inside of the chassis cover or control cover for circuit and terminal block diagrams.
• Always match color codes of each wire and follow wiring diagram.
•
Do not install power wiring to the outdoor unit and the communication / connection (power) cable to the
indoor unit in the same conduit. Use separate conduits.
