SAMSUNG AM180CXVAFH - Preparations for Outdoor Unit - 1

Choosing the installation location

Outdoor unit location requirements

Decide the installation location, with the consideration of the following conditions, under user's approval.

  • Place where hot discharge air or noise from the outdoor unit may not disturb the neighbor (Especially in residential areas, keep the operation hours in mind.)
  • Place where structure can bear the weight and vibration of the outdoor unit.
  • Place with flat surface where rainwater does not settle or leak.
  • Place where it is not exposed to strong wind.
  • Well ventilated place with sufficient service place for repairs and maintenance. (Discharge duct must be purchased separately in your local market.)
  • Place where you can connect the refrigerant pipes between indoor and outdoor units within allowable distance.
  • Place where it allows easy waterproofing and draining work for the condensation water generated from the outdoor unit during heating operation.
  • Place where there is no risk of inflammable gas leakage.
  • Place where there is no direct influence of snow or rain.
  • Place where a large amount of water generated by external environment does not directly affect the top of the outdoor unit.

Installation Guide at the seashore

Make sure to follow below guides when installing at the seashore.

1 Do not install the product in a place where it is directly exposed to sea water and sea breeze.

  • Make sure to install the product behind a structure (such as building) that can block see breeze.
  • Even when it is inevitable to install the product in seashore, make sure that product is not directly exposed to sea breeze by installing a protection wall.

    A["Sea"] --> B["Sea breeze"]
    B --> C["Protection wall"]
    C --> D["Outdoor unit"]
    D --> E["Outdoor unit"]

Protection wall should be constructed with a solid material that can block the sea breeze and the height and width of the wall should be 1.5 times larger than the size of the outdoor unit. (You must secure more than 700mm (28inch) of space between the protection wall and the outdoor unit for air circulation.)

※ As we cannot guarantee that the corrosion resistance model(AM***AXVAFCAAZ) can prevent corrosion completely, we recommend that you install a protection wall or install the outdoor unit behind a structure(such as building) that can block sea breeze.
2 Consider that the salinity particles clinging to the external panels should be sufficiently washed out.
3 Because the residual water at the bottom of the outdoor unit significantly promotes corrosion, make sure that the slope does not disturb drainage. - Keep the floor level so that rain does not accumulate. - Be careful not to block the drain hole due to foreign substance
4 When product is installed in seashore, periodically clean it with water to remove attached salinity.

5 Make sure to install the product in a place that provides smooth water drainage. Especially, ensure that the base part has good drainage.
6 If the product is damaged during the installation or maintenance, make sure to repair it.
7 Check the condition of the product periodically.

  • Check the installation site every 3 months and perform anticorrosion treatment such as R-Pro supplied by SAMSUNG (Code : MOK-220SA) or commercial water repellent grease and wax, etc., based on the product condition.
  • When the product is to be shut down for a long period of time, such as off-peak hours, take appropriate measures like covering the product.

8 If the product installed within 500m (1640ft) of seashore, special anti-corrosion treatment is required.

* Please contact your local SAMSUNG representative for further details.

If you cannot find a proper location to install the outdoor unit, consult with an expert or specialty store.

CAUTION

- 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 3m (9.84ft) 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.

10 English

  • When you install the outdoor unit in high places such as a 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 not 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 the MCU, the location is far away from indoor rooms because the refrigerant running of MCU may create noise.

Outdoor unit space requirements

  • Space requirement was decided based on following conditions; Cooling mode, outdoor temperature of 35^ C ( 95^ F). Larger space is required if the outdoor temperature is higher than 35^ C ( 95^ F) or if the place is heated easily by quantity of solar radiation.
  • When you secure installation space, consider path for people and the direction of the wind.
  • Secure installation space as shown in the below illustration, considering ventilation and the service space.
  • If the installation space is narrow, installer or other worker may get injured during work and may also cause problem to the product.
  • If you install multiple number of outdoor units in one space, make sure to secure enough ventilation space if there's any walls around the product that may disturb the air flow. If enough ventilation space is not secured, product may malfunction.
  • You may install the outdoor units with 20mm (0.78inch) of space between the product, but product's performance may decrease depending on the installation environment.

Outdoor unit installation

WARNING

- Make sure to remove the wooden pallet before installing the outdoor unit. If you do not remove the wooden pallet, there is risk of fire during welding the pipes. If the outdoor unit is installed with wooden pallet on, and it was used for long period time, wooden palette may break and cause electrical hazard or high pressure may damage the pipes.

※ Fix an outdoor unit firmly on the base ground with anchor bolts.

※ Manufacturer is not responsible for the damage occurred by not following the installation standards.

1 Make sure that the height of the base ground is 200mm (8inch) or higher to protect the outdoor unit from rain water or other external conditions. Also, install a draining pit around the base ground and connect the drain pipe to the drainage.

2 Considering the vibration and weight of the outdoor unit, strength of the base ground must be strong to prevent noise and the top surface of it should be flat.

3 Base ground should be 1.5 times larger than the bottom of the outdoor unit.

4 Outdoor unit must be fixed firmly so that it can withstand the wind speed of 30m/s. If you cannot fix the outdoor unit on the base ground, fix it by side or use extra structure.

5 In heating operation, defrost water may form so you must really care about the drainage and waterproofing the floor. To prevent defrost water from stagnating or freezing, construct a drainage with over 1/50 slope. (Ice may form on the floor in winter season.)

6 It is necessary to add wire mesh or steel bar during concrete construction for the base ground to prevent damages or cracks.

7 When installing multiple outdoor units at the same place, construct an H beam or an anti-vibration frame on the base ground to install the outdoor unit.

8 After installing an H beam or an anti-vibration frame, apply corrosion protection and other necessary coating.

9 When concrete construction for outdoor unit installation is completed, install an anti-vibration pad (t=20mm/0.78inch or more) or an anti-vibration frame to prevent vibration of the outdoor unit from transferring to the base ground.

10 Place the outdoor unit on an H beam or an anti-vibration frame and fix it with the bolt, nut and washer. (The bearing force has to be over 3.5kN)

Refrigerant pipe installation

SAMSUNG AM180CXVAFH - Refrigerant pipe installation - 1

WARNING

- 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.

656ft ≥ 460ft / {1 - (65 * 0.0046)} = 460ft / 0.701 = 656ft

Accordingly, the max. piping length of 460 ft (395 ft-long horizontal piping and 65 ft-long vertical piping) is allowable.

E.g. 2: For a site with 18 tons (SI units), max. piping length of 140 m (120 m-long horizontal piping and 20 m-long vertical piping) condition, allowable length A ≥ max. piping length / {1 - (vertical piping length * 0.015)}

200m ≥ 140m / {1 - (20 * 0.015)} = 140m / 0.7 = 200m

Accordingly, the max. piping length of 140m (120m-long horizontal piping and 20m-long vertical piping) is allowable.

Refrigerant pipe welding and safety information

SAMSUNG AM180CXVAFH - Refrigerant pipe welding and safety information - 1

CAUTION

- Important information for refrigerant pipe work.

  • Make sure there is no moisture inside the pipe.
  • Make sure there are no foreign substances and impurities in the pipe.
  • Make sure there is no leakage.
  • Make sure to follow the instruction when welding or storing the pipe.

SAMSUNG AM180CXVAFH - CAUTION - 1

CAUTION

- For pipes larger than ∅ 3/4" (∅ 19.05mm), drawn type (C1220T-1/2H or C1220T-H) type copper pipe must be used. If a annealed type (C1220T-O) copper pipe is used, pipe may break due to its low pressure resistance and cause personal injury.

English

Nitrogen flushing welding

  • When welding the refrigerant pipes, flush them with nitrogen gas as shown in the picture.
  • If you do not perform nitrogen flushing when welding the pipes, oxide may form inside the pipe. It can cause the damage of the important parts such as compressor and valves etc.
  • Adjust the flow rate of the nitrogen flushing with a pressure regulator to maintain 0.05 ~m^2 / h (0.54ft²/h) or less.

Welding part Nitrogen gas Pressure regulator Taping 6.35 (1/4") copper pipe Stop valve Flowmeter High pressure hose

Direction of the pipe when welding

  • Direction of the pipe should be headed downward or in a sideways when welding.
  • Avoid welding the pipe with pipe direction heading upward.

SAMSUNG AM180CXVAFH - Direction of the pipe when welding - 1

CAUTION

- When you test gas leakage after welding the pipes, use a designated solution for gas leakage detection. If you use the detection solution that includes sulfuric ingredient, it may cause corrosion to the pipes.

Cutting or flaring the pipes

1 Make sure that you prepared the required tools.
– Pipe cutter, Deburring tool, flaring tool and pipe holder, etc.
2 If you want to shorten the pipe, cut it with a pipe cutter ensuring that the cut edge remains at 90° with the side of the pipe.
- Refer to below illustrations for correct and incorrect examples of cut edges.

90° Oblique Rough Burn

3 To prevent a gas leak, remove all burrs at the cut edge of the pipe using a Deburring tool.

4 Carry out flaring work using flaring tool as shown below.

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 Voltageto ground is over 150V
High humidityMust perform the grounding work 3.^Note1) (Including the case where earth leakage breaker is installed)
Average humidity Perform grounding work 3.^Note1) Must perform the grounding work 3.^Note1) (Including the case where earth leakage breaker is installed)
Low humidityPerform grounding work 3 , if possible, for your safety. ^Note2)

Note 1) About grounding work 3.

- Grounding work must be done by an expert (with qualification).

- Check if the grounding resistance is lower than 100Ω. When installing an 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\~500Ω.

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

Air tightness test and vacuum drying

Air tightness test

  • Use tools for R-410A to prevent the inflow of foreign substances and resist against the internal pressure.
  • Do not remove the core of filling port.
  • Use dry nitrogen gas for air tightness test as shown in the illustration.

If you apply pressure at more than 4.1MPa (594.6psi), pipes may get damaged. Apply pressure with pressure regulator and pay attention to the pressure of the nitrogen.

After applying Nitrogen gas, check there's any change of pressure, using a pressure regulator.

If the pressure is changed, apply soap water to check for leakage and check the pressure of the nitrogen gas again.

After checking the first gas leakage, maintain 1.0MPa (145psi) to check for further gas leakage.

SAMSUNG AM180CXVAFH - Air tightness test - 3

CAUTION

  • 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 4.1MPa (594.6psi), from entering into the pipe.

English 39

Air tightness test and vacuum drying

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 -100.7kPa (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.

※ If the pressure rises in an hour, either water is remaining inside the pipe or there is a leakage.

When the ambient temperature of vacuuming pipe is low (less than 0^ C ( 32^ F)), moisture might remain within the pipe. Therefore, pay special attention to the pipe sealing in the winter.

Pipe insulation

Insulating the refrigerant pipes and branch joints

  • Check for gas leakage before completing (the hose and pipe insulation) and if there is no sign of leakage, make sure to insulate the pipes and hoses.
  • Use EPDM material insulator that meets the following conditions.

Insulating the pipe located inside of the outdoor unit

  • With a pipe insulator, insulate the pipe up to whole service valve located inside of the outdoor unit.
  • Seal the gap between the outdoor unit pipe and the insulator. Rainwater and dewdrops may soak through the gap between the pipe and the insulation of the outdoor unit installed on the outside.
  • Separate the cover of the pipe and close it after insulation work. Only remove a knock-out hole cover where the pipe will be installed. If the knock-out hole is open unnecessarily, it must be closed. If not, small animals such as squirrels and rats may get into the unit through the hole and the unit may be damaged.

WARNING

  • After installing the product, be sure to perform leak tests on the piping connections. After pumping down refrigerant to inspect or relocate the outdoor unit, be sure to stop the compressor and then remove the connected pipes.
  • Do not operate the compressor while a valve is open due to refrigerant leakage from a pipe or an unconnected or incorrectly connected pipe. Failure to do so may cause air to flow into the compressor and too a high pressure to develop inside the refrigerant circuit, leading to an explosion or product malfunction.

※ 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, 'Discharge 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'.
During "Discharge mode of DC link voltage", voltage of INV1 and INV2 will be displayed alternately. After discharging of DC link voltage, "K" "A" "o" "k" is displayed.
※ If "K" "A" "n" "A" is displayed or the voltage does not drop during "Discharge mode of DC link voltage", please cut-off the power and wait for 15 minutes until voltage discharges naturally. Due to the characteristics of the inverter PCB, "Discharge mode of DC link voltage" may not be supported.
