1. Detach the outdoor unit panels by loosening the screws.
2. Remove the control cover (if applicable) by loosening the screws.
3. Remove the conduit knock outs or access holes.
4. Pull the power wiring, and the communications / connection (power) cable into the
outdoor unit (through the conduits, if applicable). Ensure there is enough length to
connect to the terminals on the outdoor unit. Secure any conduits with field-sup-
plied lock nuts.
5. Connect the power wiring, and the communications / connection (power) cable to
the correct terminals on the outdoor unit.
6. Connect communications / connection (power) cable to the correct control board
terminals on the indoor unit (or branch distribution unit[s] if Multi F MAX system).
7. Follow the wiring diagrams on the outdoor unit and indoor units (or branch distri-
bution unit[s]) control covers. Ensure that the terminal board numbers and wiring
color on the outdoor unit matches the terminal number and wiring color on the
indoor unit or branch distribution unit(s).
8. Provide strain relief and help protect the connections by (separately) securing the
wiring / cable to the outdoor unit with the factory-supplied clamps (up to 35 lbs.).
Clamps are included near the terminal block. Zip ties can also be used to hold all
cables in place.
9. For more installation information for specific indoor units, refer to the separate
indoor unit installation manuals on www.lghvac.com.
10. When all connections are complete, reattach the control cover to its original posi-
tion using the screws, then reinstall the outdoor unit panel.
11.After installation is complete, seal any gaps around the wiring in the panel access
holes or the conduits.
