This manual provides installation instructions for LG Single Zone Mega, Standard Efficiency, and Mega 115V wall-mounted air conditioners. Installation must be performed by a trained service provider. Key steps include selecting a location, mounting the indoor unit, connecting refrigerant piping, performing electrical wiring, and conducting leak and evacuation tests.
Safety Instructions
DANGER: High voltage electricity is required. Improper installation can cause fire, electric shock, or death. Do not install near flammable gas or in areas with high electromagnetic fields.
WARNING: Always ground the unit. Use R410A refrigerant only. Do not install the unit yourself; contact an LG trained service provider.
Installation Guidelines
Select a location with sufficient structural strength and airflow. Ensure the outdoor unit is not exposed to direct ocean winds or heat sources. Maintain required clearances for service access and airflow.
Indoor Unit Mounting
Mount the installation plate securely to the wall. Drill a 2-9/16 inch hole for piping, ensuring a slight downward slant toward the outdoor unit. Engage the indoor unit onto the installation plate and secure it.
Refrigerant Piping
Use R410A rated copper piping. Ensure all piping is clean, dry, and airtight. Insulate all refrigerant and drain piping to prevent condensation. Perform a triple leak/pressure test and deep evacuation before opening service valves.
Electrical System Installation
All electrical work must conform to local codes and the National Electrical Code (NEC). Use appropriately sized circuit breakers and fuses. Connect communication cables between the indoor and outdoor units, ensuring correct polarity.
Final Procedures
After installation, perform a triple leak/pressure test using dry nitrogen. Conduct a deep evacuation to remove moisture. Add refrigerant trim charge if piping length exceeds the standard. Finally, open service valves and perform a test run.
Troubleshooting
Use the LG SIMS app for monitoring and troubleshooting. Error codes are displayed on the control board LEDs and the SIMS app. If an error occurs, refer to the error code table to identify the issue.

Common problems
Refrigerant leaks
Perform a triple leak/pressure test using dry nitrogen and check all flared connections with a bubble solution.
Condensation overflow
Ensure the drain hose is installed with a downward slope and is not kinked or blocked.
Electrical noise/communication errors
Ensure proper grounding and that power/communication cables are not run in the same conduit.
System malfunction due to moisture
Perform a deep evacuation to remove all moisture from the refrigerant circuit.
Before use
- Verify structural strength of the installation location.
- Ensure proper power supply voltage (208-230V or 115V depending on model).
- Check that all refrigerant piping is insulated.
- Confirm all electrical connections are secure and properly grounded.
- Verify that service valves are fully open after testing.
- Ensure the drain hose is properly routed and tested.
