Safety precautions

Please follow the following safety information for safety of the installer and the user.

* DVM S air conditioner uses R-410A refrigerant.

  • When using R-410A, moisture or foreign substances may affect the performance and reliability of the product. Safety precautions must be obeyed when installing the refrigerant pipe.
  • The designed maximum pressure of the system is 4.1 MPa and therefore select appropriate material and thickness according to the regulations.
  • R-410A is a quasi-azeotrope of two refrigerants and it has to be charged in liquid phase when filling the refrigerant. (If you charge vapor refrigerant, it may change the blend of the refrigerant and cause product malfunction.)

* You must connect the indoor units for R-410A refrigerant. Refer to product catalog to find out the models names for connectable indoor units. (If you connect the indoor units that are not designed for R-410A, it cannot operate normally.)

* After completing the installation and trial operation, explain to the user how to use and maintain the product. Also, hand over this installation manual so that it can be stored by the user.
* Manufacturer is not responsible for the incidents occurred by improper installation. Installer is responsible for any installation related claims from the user occurred by neglecting warnings and cautions stated in this manual. (Installer will be responsible for any service charges that may occur)
* Generally, system air conditioners should not be relocated after installation. But when it has to be relocated for inevitable reasons, please contact Samsung's qualified dealers for system air conditioners.

▶ When refrigerant leaks and exceed dangerous concentration level, it may cause suffocation accidents.

If any gas or impurities, except R-410A refrigerant, come into the refrigerant pipe, serious problem may occur and it may cause injury.

Use the supplied accessories, specified components and tools for the installation.

▶ Do not use the pipe and the installation product used for the R-22 refrigerant.

▶ Failure to use the specified components can cause product fall down, water leakage, electrical shock, and fire. (The pipe and flare components used for R-22 refrigerant must not be used)

Install the outdoor unit on a hard and even place that can support its weight.

▶ If the place cannot support its weight, the outdoor unit may fall down and it may cause injury.

Check the following before installation and service work.

▶ Before welding, remove dangerous and inflammable things that may cause an explosion and fire around the work.

Before welding, remove the refrigerant from inside the pipe or the product.

- If you perform welding while refrigerant is in the pipe, it may increase the pressure of the refrigerant and cause the pipe to burst. If the pipe bursts or explodes, it may cause severe injury to the installer.

When welding, use the nitrogen gas to eliminate oxidation inside the pipe.

Do not modify the product on your own.

▶ Potential risk of electric shock, fire, product failure or injury.

Fix the outdoor unit securely on foundation to resist strong wind or earthquake.

▶ If the outdoor unit is not properly fixed, it turns over and accidents may occur.

▶ Capacity shortage on the leased circuit and improper installation may cause electric shock or fire.

Make sure to perform grounding work.

▶ Do not connect the ground wire to a gas pipe, water pipe, lightning rod or telephone grounding. Improper grounding could cause electric shock.

Wiring must be connected with the designated wires and it must be fixed securely so that it does not apply any external force to the connection part of the terminals.

▶ If connection for fixation is not properly done, it may cause heat generation or fire.

Neatly arrange the wires in the electrical parts to make sure that electrical cover is closed securely without any gaps.

▶ If the cover is not properly closed, heat may generate on the electrical terminal and cause electric shock or fire.

Exclusive circuit breaker (MCCB, ELB) must be installed to the power supply.

▶ When overcurrent or current leakage occurs with no circuit breaker installed, power will not be cut-off and it may cause electric shock or fire.

▶ Do not use damaged parts. It may cause fire or electric shock.

You must cut-off the power before you work on, or adjust any power supply part for product installation, maintenance, repair or any other services.

▶ There is risk of electric shock.

Even when the power is off, it is dangerous when you come in contact with inverter PCB, fan PCB since high pressure DC voltage is charged to those parts.

When replacing/repairing the PCB, cut-off the power and wait until the DC voltage is discharged before replacing/repairing them. (Wait for more than 15 minutes to allow it to discharge naturally.)

If the refrigerant gas leaks during the installation, you should ventilate the room.

▶ When the refrigerant gas gets in contact with flammable substance, it may generate toxic gas.

Gas leakage must be checked after installation is completed.

▶ When the refrigerant gas gets in contact with flammable substance, it may generate toxic gas.

You can get a frostbite if you get in contact with the leaked refrigerant gas.

Supply power to the product during winter time since the product will operate in protection mode itself when the temperature decrease below 0 ^(32 ^) .

▶ If you cut-off the power, compressor protection mode cannot be operated and may cause damage to the product.

Safety precautions

CAUTION SIGNS

  • System air conditioner may cause static noise when listening to AM stations. Therefore, select an installation location for indoor unit where electrical wiring can be done while keeping certain distance from a radio, computer and stereo equipment.
  • Especially, keep the unit at least 3 m (9.84 ft) away from the electrical equipment in an area with weak electromagnetic waves and put the main power cable and communication cables in a separately installed protection tube.
  • Make sure that there is no equipment that generates electromagnetic waves. If not electromagnetic waves may cause problem to the control systems which may lead to air conditioner malfunction. (Example: Remote control sensor of the indoor unit may not receive the signal very well, due to ballast stabilizer of the lighting equipment.)
  • In regions with heavy snowfall, make sure to install the outdoor unit where there is no concerns of direct snowfall on the outdoor unit. Also, build higher base support so that accumulated snow does not block the air inlet or the heat exchanger.
  • R-410A refrigerant is a safe, nontoxic and nonflammable refrigerant. However, if the place holds any concerns for exceeding dangerous level of refrigerant concentration in case of refrigerant leakage, extra ventilation system is required.
  • When you install the outdoor unit in a high places such as roof, install fence or guardrail around it. When there is no fence or guardrail, service person could fall.
  • Do not install the product in places where corrosive gases such as sulfur oxides, ammonia, and sulfurous gas are produced. (e.g. Toilet outlet, ventilation opening, sewage works, dyeing complex, cattle shed, sulfuric hot spring, nuclear power plant, ship etc.) When installing the product in those places, contact an installation specialty store as the copper pipe and brazing part will need additional corrosion proof or anti-rust additive to prevent corrosion.
  • Make sure to keep any inflammable materials (such as wooden materials, oil etc.) around the outdoor unit. When there's fire, those inflammable material will easily catch the fire and may pass it on to the product.
  • Depending on the condition of power supply, unstable power or voltage any cause malfunction of the parts or control system. (At the ship or places using power supply from electric generator...etc)
    • Make sure to install MCU when using HR products.
  • When you select the location to install MCU, the location is far away from indoor rooms because the refrigerant running of MCU may create noise.

Refrigerant pipe installation

SAMSUNG AM260HXVAHH - Refrigerant pipe installation - 1

- When installing, make sure there is no leakage. When collecting the refrigerant, stop the compressor first before removing the connection pipe. If the refrigerant pipe is not properly connected and the compressor works with the service valve open, the pipe inhales the air and it makes the pressure inside of the refrigerant cycle abnormally high which may lead to explosion and injury.

Refrigerant pipe work

The length of refrigerant pipe should be as short as possible and the height difference between an indoor and outdoor unit should be minimized.
▶ Piping work must be done within allowable piping length, height difference, and the allowable length after branching.
The pressure of the R-410A is high. Use only certified refrigerant pipe and follow the installation method.
▶ After installing the pipes, calculate the total length of the pipe to check if additional refrigerant is needed. When you need to charge the additional refrigerant, make sure to use R-410A refrigerant.
▶ Use clean refrigerant pipe and there shouldn't be any harmful ion, oxide, dust, iron content or moisture inside pipe.

▶ Use tools and accessories that fit on R-410A only.

Grounding work

Grounding must be done by a qualified installer for your safety.

Grounding the power cable

The standard of grounding may vary according to the rated voltage and installation place of the air conditioner.

▶ Ground the power cable according to the following table.

Installation place\Power conditionVoltage to ground is lower than 150V Voltage to ground is over 150V
High humidityMust perform the grounding work 3. Note 1)(Including the case where earth leakage breaker is installed)
Average humidity Perform grounding work 3. Note 1)Must perform the grounding work 3. Note 1)(Including the case where earth leakage breaker is installed)
Low humidityPerform grounding work 3, if possible, for your safety. Note 2)

Note 1) About grounding work 3.

• Grounding work must be done by an expert (with qualification).
- Check if the grounding resistance is lower than 100 Ω. When installing a earth leakage breaker (that can cut the electric circuit within 0.5 second in case of a short circuit), allowable grounding resistance should be 30\~500 Ω.

Note 2) Grounding at dry place

- The grounding resistance should be lower than 100 . Even in worst case, grounding resistance should be lower than 250 .

Performing the grounding work

▶ Use a rated grounding cable by referring to the specification of the electric cable for the outdoor unit.

* When using the exclusive grounding terminal (When the grounding terminal is already built on the house)

* When using grounding of the switch board

• Perform a Nitrogen gas leak test with the service valve of the outdoor unit closed.
- When charging the nitrogen gas, charge it from the both (high-low pressure) sides.
- If the pipe is filled in a short time with a highly excessive pressure of Nitrogen gas, the pipes may get damaged. Make sure to use a regulator to prevent the high pressure Nitrogen gas, over 4.1 MPa, from entering into the pipe.

Vacuum drying pipes and indoor units

▶ Use tools for R-410A to prevent the inflow of foreign substances and resist against the internal pressure.
▶ Use vacuum pump that allows vacuuming under -100.7 kPa (5 Torr).
▶ Use the vacuum pump with the check valve to prevent pump oil from flowing backward while the vacuum pump is stopped.
▶ Completely close the liquid-gas side service valve of the outdoor unit.

* When installing insulation in places and conditions below, use the same insulation that is used for high humidity conditions.

  • High humidity places such as shoreline, hot spring, near lake or river, and ridge (when the part of the building is covered by earth and sand.)
  • Restaurant ceiling, sauna, swimming pool etc.
  • The ceiling frequently exposed to moisture and cooling is not covered. (e.g. The pipe installed at a corridor of a dormitory and studio or near an exit that opens and closes frequently.")
  • The place where the pipe is installed is highly humid due to the lack of ventilation system.

Insulate the refrigerant pipe

▶ Make sure to insulate the refrigerant pipe, branch joint, distribution header, and the connection part of the pipes.

If you insulate the pipes, condensed water will not fall from the pipes.
▶ Check if there are any cracks on the insulation at the bent part of the pipe.

* During "Discharge mode of DC link voltage", voltage of INV1 and INV2 will be displayed alternately.
* Even when the outdoor unit power is off, it is dangerous when you come in contact with inverter PCB and fan PCB since they are charged with high DC voltage.
* When replacing/repairing the PCB, cut-off the power and wait until the DC voltage is discharged before replacing/repairing them. (Wait for more than 15 minutes to allow it to discharge naturally.)
* When there were error, 'Dicharge mode of DC link voltage' may not have been effective. Especially if error E464 and E364 have been occurred, power element might be damaged by fire and therefore, do not use the 'Discharge mode of DC link voltage'.

* Symptoms for abnormal operation of the 4way valve

- Refrigerant noise is increased while compressor operates and temperature of the pipe inlet (H/P: Suction, H/R: Suction 2) remains over 10^ (50^) compared to low pressure's saturation temperature.

- Temperature of Eva. in/out remains below 0 °C (32 °F) during heating operation.

* Symptoms for abnormal operation of the Main EEV

- Error on controlling degree of superheat of compressor inlet during heating operation.

: If there's operation error while the EEV is fully opened, targeted degree of superheat [1 °C (33.8 °F)] cannot be secured [below 0 °C (32 °F)] and discharge temperature of the compressor will be low.

: If there's operation error while the EEV is fully closed, low pressure will decrease and the degree of superheat on the compressor inlet will increase excessively.

SAMSUNG AM260HXVAHH - Inspection and trial operation - 2

  • If the service valve need to be detected, corresponding outdoor unit will display the error.
  • If the service valve need to be detected, auto detection mode will end. Check both gas pipe and liquid pipe service valves when detecting service valve.
  • When 4way valve, Main EEV detection is needed, run heating trial operation for more than 1 hour and analyze the data to check for a problem.
  • If there's frost formed in outdoor unit or the outdoor unit is operating in deforst operation, it may be hard to detect problem normally. In this case, run heating trial operation for more than 1 hour.
