Notes:
1. Acceptable operating voltage: 187V – 253V. 2. All power supply wiring to the ODU is field supplied, solid or stranded. The power wiring and the com- munication wiring from the ODU to the BDU, and from the BDU to the IDU is field supplied and must be stranded, shielded or unshielded (if shielded, it must be grounded to the chassis of the ODU only). All wiring must comply with applicable local and national codes. a. Power Supply Wiring to Outdoor Unit (No. x AWG): 3 x 8 for 48k, 54k, and 60k. b. Power Wiring and Communication Wiring from ODU to BD Unit (No. x AWG) 3 x 14 / 2 x 18. c. Power Wiring and Communication Wiring from BD Unit to IDU (No. x AWG) 3 x 14 / 2 x 18.
3. Piping lengths are equivalent.
4. 180.4 ft. of Main Piping + 49.2 ft. of Branch Piping. 5. 49.2 ft. of Main Piping + 131.2 of Branch Piping. 6. At least one branch distribution (BD) unit is required for system operation; a maximum of two can be installed per outdoor unit with the use of a Y-branch accessory (ARBLN03321). 7. Sound pressure levels are tested in an anechoic chamber under ISO Standard 3745. 8. See the Engineering Manual Capacity Tables for ODU sensible and latent capacities. 9. See the Engineering Manual Combination Tables for allocation of ODU rated capacity to each connected IDU when all are calling for full capacity. Allocation percentages should be applied to ODU capacity at design conditions. 10. Capacity is rated 0 ft. above sea level, with a 0 ft. level difference between ODU and IDUs, and the following refrigerant pipe lengths: KUMXA361A: 16.4 ft. Main + (16.4 ft. Branch x 5) = 98.4 ft. KUMXA421A: 16.4 ft. Main + (16.4 ft. Branch x 6) = 114.8 ft. KUMXA481A: 16.4 ft. Main + (16.4 ft. Branch x 8) = 147.6 ft. 11. Must follow installation instructions in the applicable LG installation manual. 12. See the Engineering Manual Capacity Tables for ODU capacity at design conditions.
