LG ICA+: The New Air Conditioning

JULY, 2024

In Iraq, managing power consumption is a daily reality. With only about 6 hours of national power available per day, people often rely on local generator suppliers for electricity, subscribing to a specific number of Amps each month.

Understanding these unique needs, LG has developed advanced technology, especially for people in Iraq, enabling them to enjoy comfortable living spaces even with fluctuating power sources using I control Ampere technology for ACs.

About LG ICA+ Technology

The "I-Control Ampere" technology is an innovation from LG. This technology allows users to control the number of Amperes their air conditioner consumes using the AC remote control to ensure comfort and optimize energy usage, providing a seamless experience even during power transitions.

History of LG ICA+ Technology

2017: Launch of the First Ampere Control AC Properly

In 2017, LG introduced the first Ampere control AC, allowing users to choose from three settings (4, 6, or 8 Amperes) based on their subscription and power availability.
This innovation marked a significant step in addressing Iraqi households' power management challenges.

2023: Introduction of Auto Ampere Control RAC

Building on the success of the initial launch, LG released the Auto Ampere control RAC in 2023. This model came with a special small box that enabled the AC to automatically switch between national and generator power when installed and connected via wiring.

2024: Launch of the Wireless Auto Ampere Control Model

In 2024, LG launched an advanced model featuring the same Auto Ampere control function but with enhanced convenience. Instead of a physical installation box, this new model includes a wireless USB chip that can be slotted into the power outlet. Bluetooth connectivity allows the AC to switch between national and generator power seamlessly.

How to Use ICA+ Air Conditioners

Here are the steps you have to follow to operate your LG I Control Ampere+ AC:

1. Install the AC Unit Correctly

Ensure proper installation, including vacuuming, using R410A gas, and avoiding direct sunlight on the outdoor unit.

2. Utilize LG Inverter Technology

Once the room temperature stabilizes, the amperes used will decrease significantly. Ensure you install the correct tonnage for the room size to optimize performance.

3. Using I-CONTROL AMPERE (ICA)

Step Level Button: L1: Click 1 time
L2: Click 2 times
L3: Click 3 times
L4: Click 4 times
L5: Click 5 times
L6: Click 6 times

4. Switching Power Sources

When national power goes out and the generator starts, refer to the previous step to determine the correct program setting for the I-CONTROL AMPERE (ICA) function.
Note: If the unit blinks, it means more amperes are required. Using your remote control, select a higher-ampere program to increase the amperes.

The LG 2024 ICA+ AC: Ready for Real Comfort?

LG has launched a new model in 2024 with new features not found in previous models; the new model includes:
