▶ 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.

Do not install the drain pipe directly to the bottom part of the outdoor unit and built a proper drainage so that water drains out smoothly. If not, pipe may freeze or bursts during winter time and cause damage to the product or water leakage.

▶ When the draining work is not done properly, water leak may occur and cause property damage.

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.

  2. Make sure to install the product behind a structure (such as building) that can block see breeze.

  3. 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.

※ As we cannot guarantee that the corrosion resistance model(AM***MXVAFCAAZ) 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

  1. When product is installed in seashore, periodically clean it with water to remove attached salinity.
  2. Make sure to install the product in a place that provides smooth water drainage. Especially, ensure that the base part has good drainage.
  3. If the product is damaged during the installation or maintenance, make sure to repair it.
  4. Check the condition of the product periodically.

- Check the installation site every 3 months and perform anti-corrosion 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.

Selecting installation location

  1. If the product installed within 500m of seashore,

  2. Standard model (AM***MXVAFC/AZ): Special anti-corrosion treatment is required.

  3. Corrosion resistance model (AM***MXVAFCAAZ): Special anti-corrosion treatment is recommended.

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.)

SAMSUNG AM120MXVAFC - Selecting installation location - 4

- 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(9.84inch) 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)

Space requirement for installation

▶ 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 (0.78 inch) of space between the product, but product's performance may decrease depending on the installation environment.

Refrigerant pipe installation

SAMSUNG AM120MXVAFC - 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.

▶ If AHU Kit is included among the indoor units, add 0.018kg(0.04lb) of refrigerant for every 1MBH of AHU capacity increase.

▶ Method to calculate total amount of additional refrigerant

- Amount of additional refrigerant depending on the pipe length (a)

- Amount of additional refrigerant for each indoor unit (⑥) = Σ(Amount of additional refrigerant for each connected indoor unit) ※ Refer to the table

- Total amount of additional refrigerant = ⓐ+ ⓑ

* Sum of total amount of additional refrigerant and the basic amount of refrigerant should not exceed 100kg (220lb). If the refrigerant exceeds 100kg (220lb), separate the module so that weight of the refrigerant doesn't exceed 100kg (220lb).

Ex.) For AM180***, basic amount of refrigerant is 8.7kg (19.1lb), therefore total amount of additional refrigerant (a+b) should not exceed 91.3kg (200.9lb).

- 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.

Keeping refrigerant pipe

To prevent foreign materials or water from entering the pipe, storing method and sealing method (especially during installation) is very important. Apply correct sealing method depending on the environment.

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 100Ω. 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\~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

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 AM120MXVAFC - Air tightness test - 3

• 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.

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.

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.
