ART COOL Gallery Indoor Units
General
All LG indoor units are factory assembled, wired, piped, and pro-
vided with a control circuit board, fan, and motor. Art Cool Gallery
indoor units have a sound rating no higher than 42 dB(A) as tested
per KSA0701 ISO Standard 3745.
Coil
Indoor unit coils are comprised of a minimum of two rows of
aluminum fins mechanically bonded to copper tubing. The coils are
pressure tested at the factory. Each unit is provided with a factory
installed condensate drain pan below the coil.
Refrigerant System
System is designed for use with R410A refrigerant. The refrigeration
circuit is pressure-tested at the factory and shipped with a holding
charge of helium gas. Refrigerant pipe connections are 45° flare.
All refrigerant lines from the outdoor unit to the indoor units must be
field insulated.
Electrical
Each indoor unit is designed to operate using 208–230/60/1 power
with voltage variances of ±10%.
Casing
Units are designed to mount on a vertical surface, and are shipped
with a separate back plate that secures the unit to the wall, protrud-
ing no more than six (6) inches. Unit is designed so that refrigerant
piping can be installed in one of four different directions.
Cases / Finishes
The Art Cool Gallery unit has a frame that can accommodate a 20" x
20" photograph, picture or artwork. Unit casing has a gray finish and
is manufactured of heavy-duty acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS)
and high impact polystyrene (HIPS) plastic.
Fan Assembly and Control
The unit has a single, direct-drive, crossflow fan made of high
strength ABS plastic. The fan motor is brushless digitally controlled
(BLDC) with permanently lubricated and sealed ball bearings. The
fan / motor assembly is mounted on vibration attenuating rubber
grommets. Fan speed is controlled using a microprocessor-based
direct digitally controlled algorithm that provides pre-programmed,
field-selectable fixed or auto fan speeds in the Heating and Cooling
modes. For Art Cool Gallery units, the indoor fan has Low, Med,
High, Power Cool and Auto settings for Cooling mode; and has Low,
Med, High, and Auto settings for Heating mode. The Auto setting
adjusts the fan speed based on the difference between the controller
setpoint and space temperature. Also, the separate Chaos setting
provides a simultaneous and random change in fan speed and flow
direction at the discharge,
simulating a natural outdoor
breeze.
Air Filter
Return air is filtered with a
factory-supplied, removable,
washable pre-filter. Filter
access is from the front of
the unit without the use of
tools.
Airflow Guide Vanes
Motorized oscillating guide
vanes are factory installed,
and allows the ability to
control the direction of
airflow from side to side. A
motorized air sweep louver provides an automatic change in airflow
by directing the air up and down to provide uniform air distribution.
Microprocessor Control
The indoor unit is provided with an integrated control panel to
communicate with the outdoor unit. All unit operation parameters are
stored in non-volatile memory resident on the unit microprocessor.
The microprocessor controls space temperature through using the
value provided by the temperature sensor within the indoor unit.
The microprocessor control will activate indoor unit operation when
the indoor room temperature falls below or rises above a setpoint
temperature, at which point, a signal is sent to the outdoor unit to
begin the appropriate mode. The microprocessor will also provide
self-diagnostics and auto restart functions. A field-supplied four-
wire power / communications cable must be installed to connect the
indoor unit(s) to the outdoor unit.
Controls
The indoor unit casing has a factory-standard, integral infrared
sensor designed to communicate with the supplied LG wireless
handheld remote controller. An optional LG supplied wired controller
is available as an additional accessory. Communication between the
indoor units and the outdoor unit is accomplished through 18 AWG,
four-core, stranded and shielded power / communication cable.
Condensate
The unit is designed for gravity draining of condensate and includes
a flexible drain hose capable of installation in one of two directions.
Unit includes a connection that is compatible with the AquaGuard
®
AG-9300-LG condensate sensor.
