(3) Avoiding excessive high discharge temperature : when main EEV opens some given opening and dis-
charge temperature is above 85 ℃(185 ℉) in heating operation, subcooling EEV may control the "sub-
cooling out temperature-evaporating temperature" to be some given difference.
2. Special control
2.1 Oil return control
2.1.1 Oil return control on cooling mode
Oil return operation recovers Oil level in compressor by collecting oil accumulated in pipe.

Setting method
[Case 1] ODU Service Valve Setting
Close liquid service valve of each unit. (for Heat Recovery System)
[Note]
If low pressure become under 307 kPa (blink), close the gas SVC V/V of all ODU immediately.
If low pressure descends below 229 kPa, the system turns off automatically. Close the gas SVC V/V immediately.
Caution
1.Use pump down function within guaranteed temperature range
IDU : 20~32 °C(68~89.6 °F)
ODU : 5~40 °C(41~104 °F)
2. Make certain that IDU doesn't run with thermo off mode during operation
3. Maximum operation time of pump down function is 30 min.
(in case low pressure doesn't go down)
CAUTION
• Request installer to set the function during installation.
• In case the function is not used, set the dip S/W OFF and reset the power.
• If ODU Hz and RPM change, cooling capacity may go down.
CAUTION
ODU operation stops during vacuum mode. Compressor can't operate.

WARNING
• If you want to use a PRHR022(A) for 2 branches HR unit after closing the 3rd pipes, set the dip switch for 2 branches HR
unit.
• If you want to use a PRHR032(A) for 3 branches HR unit after closing the 4th pipes, set the dip switch for 3 branches HR
unit.
• If you want to use a PRHR042(A) for 2 branches HR unit after closing the 3rd and 4th pipes, set the dip switch for 2

Test Run
1. Checks Before Test Run
1 Check to see whether there is any refrigerant leakage, and slack of power or communication cable.
2 Confirm that 500 V megger shows 2.0 MΩ or more between power supply terminal block and ground.
Do not operate in the case of 2.0 MΩ or less.
NOTE: Never carry out megaohm check over terminal control board. Otherwise the control board
would be broken.
Immediately after mounting the unit or after leaving it turned off for an extended length of time,
the resistance of the insulation between the power supply terminal board and the ground may
decrease to approx. 2 MΩ as a result of refrigerant accumulating in the internal compressor.
If the insulation resistance is less than 2 MΩ, turning on the main power supply and energizing
the crankcase heater for more than 6 hours will cause the refrigerant to evaporate, increasing
the insulation resistance.
3 Check if high/low pressure common pipe, liquid pipe and gas pipe valves are fully opened.
NOTE: Be sure to tighten caps.
CAUTION
when cutting main power of the Multi V
• Always apply main power of the outdoor unit during use of product
(cooling season/heating season).
• Always apply power before 4 hours to heat the crank case heater where performing test run after
installation of product. It may result in burning out of the compressor if not preheating the crank
case with the electrical heater for more than 4 hours.(In case of the outdoor temperature below 10°C)
CAUTION
Preheat of compressor
• Start preheat operation for 4 hours after supplying main power.
• In case that the outdoor temperature is low, be sure to supply power 4 hours before operation so
that the heater is heated(insufficient heating may cause damage of the compressor.)

2. Pull out DC_Link connector and U,V,W comp connector connected with Inverter PCB
3. Set multi tester in diode mode.
4. Measured value should be 0.2~0.6 V measuring as below table.
5. In case the measured value is different from the table, set multi tester to resistance mode and measure. If the
value is small(0 Ω) or high( hundreds MΩ), PCB needs to be replaced.
6. In case that IGBTM is damaged, check if comp is needed to be replaced (PCB damaged).
CAUTION
• Check the electric parts of c/box, 10 minutes after switching off the main supply and checking DC
voltage is discharged. Otherwise, there is chance of getting electric shock.
• There is chance of electric shock by charged voltage.
1) If the pressure of manifold gauge is 0~1 kg/cm2, it indicates the pressure got lower due to the leakage of refrig-
erant. Find the place of leakage and fix it.
2) If the difference of the outputs of high and low pressure is in the range of 1 kg/cm2, the pressure sensor is normal.
3) If the difference of the outputs of high and low pressure is over 1 kg/cm2, the pressure sensor is out of order, it
need to be replaced.
4) The composition of pressure sensor
The pressure sensor is composed like the circuit picture shown above. If DC 5 V voltage flows on red and black
wire, voltage would be made between the white and black wire. The pressure which is equivalent to the pressure
output is shown in the table above.

• Although the quantity of indoor units installed is same as LGMV data there may be a few indoor units with which the
number of communication is not increased with LGMV
• Although the quantity of indoor units installed is not same as LGMV data, and if communication of the indoor unit dis-
played at LGMV is done well then the indoor unit suspected to have some problem (and is not appear at LGMV) may
have following problems
¿ wrong connection of communication cable or power cable
¡ fault of power / PCB / communication cable
¬ duplication of indoor unit number
• If communication is not doing well wholly then the Auto Addressing is not done
• The case that CH53 appear at indoor unit also Auto Addressing is not done so indoor unit address may be duplicated
* After replacement of indoor unit PCB, Auto Addressing should be done, if central controller is installed then the
central control address also should be input.
