Refer to local, state, and federal codes, and use power wires
of sucient current capacity and rating.
Wires that are too small may generate heat and cause a re and physi-
cal injury or death�
Secure all eld wiring connections with appropriate wire
strain relief.
Improperly securing wires will create undue stress on equipment power
lugs. Inadequate connections may generate heat, cause a re and
physical injury or death�
Verify that all power wiring, plugs, and sockets are not loose
or damaged.
Loose wiring may overheat at connection points, causing a re, electrical
shock, physical injury or death�
WIRING
DANGER
High voltage electricity is required to operate the commu-
nications and EEV kits. Adhere to the NEC code and these
instructions when wiring.
Improper connections and inadequate grounding can cause accidental
injury or death�
Always ground the communications and EEV kits following
local, state, and NEC codes.
There is risk of re, electric shock, and physical injury or death.
Turn the power o at the nearest disconnect before servicing
the equipment.
Electrical shock can cause physical injury or death�
Properly size all circuit breakers or fuses.
There is risk of re, electric shock, explosion, physical injury or death.
Communication kit requires its own power source (EEV kit
is powered o of Communication kit). Do not share the
power source with other equipment.

AHU KIT INTRODUCTION
Figure 1: PAHCMS000 AHU
Communications Kit.
Figure 2: AHU Communications Kit System Schematic.
Introduction
The PAHCMS000 AHU Communications Kit bridges LG’s air conditioning outdoor unit to a third party Air
Handling Unit (AHU). Its function is based on discharge or supply air temperature control. In installations
where the AHU is designed with Direct Expansion (DX) Coil, the PAHCMS000 will control the supply air
temperature by measuring the inlet and outlet temperatures of the DX coil and changd the operation of
the outdoor unit and the expansion unit. PAHCMS000 AHU Communications Kit features are:
• It can be used with LG Multi V air or water source outdoor units and LG Single Zone outdoor units.
• It supports AHU coil capacities from 12 - 594 kBtu/h.
• It controls the Electronic Expansion Valve (EEV, required, sold separately)
• It measures the supply air temperature through the enclosed temperature sensor and controls the
outdoor unit to secure the demanded supply air temperature.
• It can be directly connected to direct digital control (DDC) without a separate control module, so DDC
can receive product control and status information through Modbus communication.
• The PAHCMS000 AHU Communications Kit consists of a chassis, communication module, pipe-in
thermistor, pipe-out thermistor, and return air thermistor.
• Supply air temperature control is possible without DDC.
• It increases heating comfort by applying sequential defrost logic and simultaneous defrosting preven-
tion logic of the outdoor unit.

AHU Communications Kit Design Parameters
• Minimum coil entering air temperature is 41°F when system is operating in heating mode.
• AHU coil sizing parameters:
• Suction (evaporating) temperature for coil sizing is 41°F, Condensing (liquid) temperature for coil sizing is 110°F.
• Recommended coil tube sizes: 3/8 or 1/2 inches.
• Coil volume is needed to calculate additional refrigerant charge amount.
• Coils larger than 16 tons should be divided into multiple circuits to allow EEV Kit connection kit (EEV Kit sold separately).
• Pipe sizing rules are same rules as the connected air-source or water-source heat pump (see respective Engineering and Installation
Manuals for more information).
• Maximum recommended combination ratio is 100%.
• AHU Communications Kits and EEV Kits (sold separately) are not weatherproof and must be protected from rain, snow, etc.
AHU COMMUNICATIONS KIT INSTALLATION
Selecting the Best Location
AHU Operation Range
Range of the heat exchanger inlet air temperature is 64.4 to 104°F for cooling, and 41 to 86°F for heating. If the temperature is <64.4°F
for cooling and >86°F for heating, the system might cycle on and off because of the system’s protection logic.
Application Condition
100% outside air intake: The AHU(s) is (are) the only indoor unit(s)
connected to the air-source / water-source heat pump unit(s).
The total capacity of 100% outside air intake AHU(s) should be
50~100% of the air-source / water-source heat pump.
To measure room temperature accurately, install the room thermistor in the heat exchanger inlet� If the room thermistor is not installed
properly, the AHU may not operate properly. Room thermistor can be replaced with xed resistor when using a third-party AHU controller.
Table 3: AHU Application and Condition.
Selecting the Best Location
Do
• Install the AHU Communications and EEV Kits with the access panels facing outward.
• Install in a location that can support the weight of the kits.
• Install the EEV kit on the AHU as close as possible to the heat exchanger.
Don’t
• Don’t install or operate the unit in an area where mineral oils, sulphuric gases, acidic or alkaline vapors or spray are present.
• Don’t install in an area where the air contains high levels of salt (oceanside locations).
• Don’t install in vehicles or vessels.
• Don’t install in an area where voltage fluctuates significantly (factories), or near machines that generate electromagnetic waves.

Inadequate power source capacity or improper electric work may result in re, electric shock, physical injury or death.
All eld-supplied parts, materials, and electric work must be conform to local codes.
Improper components and installation may result in re, electric shock, physical injury or death.
A main switch or disconnect, in accordance with relevant local and national codes, and having a contact separation in
all poles, must be incorporated in the wiring.
Improper installation by the user may result in re, electric shock, physical injury or death.
Refer to the air-source / water-source heat pump unit installation manual for power wiring sizes, circuit breaker and
switch capacities, and wiring instructions.
If the power source capacity for the air-source unit / water-source unit is inadequate or the electric work is not performed properly, it may result
in re, electric shock, physical injury or death.
Use copper wire only and connect wires tightly to the terminals. Install wiring so that other equipment is not obstructed.
Improper or incomplete connections could result in overheating, re, electric shock, physical injury or death.
Ensure the power source is disconnected before performing this procedure.
If the power source is connected during this procedure, it could result in electric shock, physical injury, or death�
1. Carefully pull the power cable through the cable nut and grommet.
2. Connect the power cable to the power terminal block.
3. Pull enough cable through the nut and grommet to allow enough slack for strain relief.
4. Tighten the cable nut.

Communications Wiring
• Communications wiring must be 18 gauge, shielded, and stranded�
• The thermistor cable, remote controller wires, and communications wires should be positioned at least two (2) inches away from pow-
er supply wires� If these wires are installed too closed together, it may result in product malfunction due to electrical interference�
All electrical work must be performed by a licensed electrician and conform to local building codes or, in the absence
of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, and the instructions in this manual.
If the electrical work is not performed properly, it may result in re, electric shock, physical injury or death.
All eld-supplied parts, materials, and electric work must be conform to local codes.

1. Carefully pull the communications cable through the cable nut and grommet.
2. Refer to the wiring diagram in Figure 6 and connect the communications cable to the power terminal block.
3. Pull enough cable through the nut and grommet to allow enough slack for strain relief.
4. Tighten the cable nut.
