ELECTRICAL SYSTEM INSTALLATION
If power wires are not properly terminated and firmly attached, there is risk of fire, electric shock, and physical injury or death.
•
Never apply line voltage power to the communications cable terminal block. If contact is made, the PCBs may be damaged.
• Always include some allowance in the wiring length when terminating. Firmly attach the wiring or cable, but provide some slack to facilitate
removing the electrical panels while servicing, and to prevent external forces from damaging the terminal block.
:Copper Wire
Terminate multiple power wires of
the same gauge to both sides.
Do not terminate two wires on
one side.
Do not terminate different gauge
wires to a terminal block.

Power Wiring Specifications and Best Practices
Power Wiring / Communication Cable Connections
Best practice dictates using solderless ring or fork terminals at all power wiring and com-
munication cable terminations. Use copper bearing ring or fork terminals;
do not use
galvanized or nickel plate over steel. Use appropriate crimping tool to attach the ring or fork
terminals at all power wiring and control cable terminations. To install:
• Firmly attach the wire; secure in a way to prevent external forces from being imparted on the
terminal block.
• Use an appropriately sized JIS screwdriver for tightening the terminals.
•
Do not overtighten the connections; overtightening may damage the terminals.
Allow at least 1/4 inches between the terminal connections.
If ring terminals or fork terminals are not available, then:
•
Do not terminate different gauge wires to the power terminal block. (Slack in the wiring may generate heat.)
• When terminating wires of the same thickness, follow the instructions demonstrated in the figures below.
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 overtighten the
connections — overtightening may damage the terminals — but firmly and securely
attach 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.
• Always create a wiring diagram that contains the exact sequence in which all the indoor unit is wired in relation to the outdoor unit.
•
Do not include splices or wire nuts in the communication cable.
