LG 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.

• Multi F and Multi F MAX 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 systems only) through the communication / con-
nection (power) cable.
• Power supply to the outdoor unit must be selected based on NEC and local codes. Maxi-
mum allowable voltage fluctuation ±10% or nameplate rated value.
• Power wiring to the outdoor unit(s) must be solid or stranded, and must comply with all
local and national electrical codes.
• Properly ground the outdoor unit and indoor unit 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.
