Four-way Vertical-Horizontal Air  
Handing Indoor Unit
General
All LG indoor units are factory assembled, wired, piped, and pro-
vided with a control circuit board, fan, and motor. Vertical-Horizontal 
Air Handling units are designed for high-speed air volume against an 
H[WHUQDOVWDWLFSUHVVXUHXSWRƎ:*6XSSO\DLURSHQLQJLVIODQJHG
to accept field-installed ductwork that cannot exceed the external 
static pressure limit of the unit.
Coil
,QGRRUXQLWFRLOVDUHIDFWRU\EXLOWDQGDUHFRPSULVHGRIDOXPLQXP¿QV
mechanically bonded to copper tubing. Each unit has a minimum of 
two rows of coils, which 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, 
and 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
The casing is designed to mount fully concealed behind a wall 
or above a finished ceiling. Casing is manufactured of 22-gauge 
precoated metal and finished with a high-gloss baked enamel finish. 
Cold surfaces of the unit are covered internally with 1/2-inch polysty-
rene fiber insulation; inside surface of the pan assembly door access 
panel is treated with 1/2-inch polystyrene fiber insulation, encapsu-
lated on both sides. The access panel is sealed along the edges with 
reinforced foil-faced covering, all access panels also have gasket 
seals to minimize air leaks.
The vertical-horizontal air handling unit can operate in one of four 
DLUIORZFRQILJXUDWLRQVYHUWLFDOXSIORZYHUWLFDOGRZQIORZKRUL]RQ-
tal left discharge, or horizontal right discharge. Vertical downflow 
operation requires an optional conversion kit. In the vertical position, 
the unit has an opening for supply air from top (or bottom) with a 
dedicated bottom (or top) vertical return. In the horizontal position, 
supply air is from the left (or right) end with the return air from the 
right (or left) end. Unit can also accept an internal, optional LG 
electrical strip heater.
Fan Assembly and 
Control
The units have an integral fan 
assembly consisting of galva-
nized steel housing and a forward 
curve fan wheel. The fan motor 
is a brushless digitally controlled 
(BLDC) motor with permanently 
lubricated and sealed ball bear-
ings. The fan / motor assembly is 
mounted on vibration-attenuating 
rubber grommets. Fan speed is 
controlled using a microproces-
sor-based direct digital control 
algorithm. The indoor fan has Low, 
Med, High, and Auto settings for 
Cooling mode; and has Low, Med, 
High, and Auto settings for Heat-
ing mode. Each of the settings can

setting (RPM / ESP). The Auto 
setting adjusts the fan speed to 
most effectively achieve setpoint. 
Filter Assembly
The unit comes with a filter rack sized to hold a field-provided 16” x 
20” x 1” (NJ frame) or 24” x 20” x 1” (NK frame) filter cartridge. The 
filter rack has a guide to assist in centering the filters, and can be 
accessed from the front.
Microprocessor Control 
The indoor unit is provided with an integrated control panel to com-
municate 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 temperature sensors within the indoor unit. A 
field-supplied communication cable must be installed to connect the 
indoor unit(s) to the outdoor unit. 
Controls
The indoor unit controller of choice must be ordered separately. 
Communication between the indoor units and the outdoor unit is ac-

/ communication cable. The indoor unit has a built-in dry contact for a

able as an additional accessory for use with LG’s Smart ThinQ app on 
a smart device.
Condensate
The unit is designed for gravity draining of condensate.
