Deciding where to install the outdoor unit

Decide the installation location based on the following conditions and obtain the user's approval.

▶ Avoid a place that may disturb your neighbor. Noise may occur from the outdoor unit and the discharged air may run into the neighborhood. (Be careful of the operation time in a residential area)

▶ Install the outdoor unit on a hard and even area that can support its weight. ▶ Choose a flat place where rainwater does not settle or leak. ▶ Choose a place that will avoid strong winds.

▶ Choose a place that is well ventilated and allows enough space for repairs and service.

(Discharge duct can be purchased privately.)

▶ Choose a place where the connection of refrigerant pipe between an indoor unit and outdoor unit is within allowed distance.

▶ Make sure that the condensed water dripping from the drain hose runs out properly and safely.

▶ Choose a place where flammable gas does not leak. ▶ Choose a place where the unit could not come into contact with snow and rain.

▶ When installing the outdoor unit near the seashore, make sure it is not directly exposed to sea breeze.

- When installing the outdoor unit near the seashore, consult the qualified installer since the places above require additional measures for corrosion resistance. (You should remove salt and dust from the heat exchanger at least once a year.)

Installation Guide at the Seashore

Make sure to follow the guides below when installing near 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 a building) that can block sea breeze.
  • Even when it is inevitable to install the product near the seashore, make sure that the product is not directly exposed to sea breeze by installing a protection wall.

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 substances.

4) When the product is installed near the 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 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 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.

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

* Please contact your local SAMSUNG representative for further details.

The 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 of space between the protection wall and the outdoor unit for air circulation.)SAMSUNG AM048TXMDCH - Installation Guide at the Seashore - 1

SAMSUNG AM048TXMDCH - Installation Guide at the Seashore - 2

• Install the indoor unit away from any interfering sources such as radio, computer, stereo equipment, and also select a place where the electrical wiring work and an indoor unit installation are possible.

  • Especially keep the unit at least 3m (9.84ft) away from the electrical equipment in an area where weak electromagnetic waves are generated, and install the protection tube to protect the main power cable and communication cable.
  • Make sure that there is no equipment that generates electromagnetic waves. If so, malfunction of the control system may occur due to the effect of the electromagnetic wave. (For example: The remote control sensor of the indoor unit may not have good reception in an area with fluorescent lamp style lighting.)
  • Make sure the outdoor unit is installed in a safe place where it will not be obstructed by snowfall. The frame should be installed in a place where the air inlet and heat exchanger of the unit are not buried in the snow.
  • A ventilation system may be required when the outdoor unit is installed in a closed space or room, even though R410a is not poisonous or flammable. • Install railing around the outdoor unit to prevent it falling when the unit is installed on a high place such as the roof of the building.
  • Avoid installing the units in places near an exhaust pipe and ventilating opening exposed to corrosive gas, oxides of sulfur, ammonia gas or sulfur gas herbicides. (These places need additional anticorrosive treatments. Please contact manufacture to avoid corroding copper pipes or soldered parts.)
  • There shouldn't be any inflammable material such as wood and oil around the indoor unit. Otherwise, external fire may spread to the product.
  • According to the condition of power supply, electric noise or unstable voltage can occur malfunction of electric parts or control system. (At the ship or places using power supply from electric generator... etc)

Refrigerant pipe installation

Refrigerant pipe work

The length of the refrigerant pipe should be as short as possible, and the height difference between an indoor unit and outdoor unit should be minimized. The piping length between the outdoor unit and the indoor unit may not exceed the allowable piping length, height difference, and the allowable length after branching is done. The pressure of R410A is high. Use only certified refrigerant pipe and follow the installation method. ▶ After pipe installation, charge the refrigerant according to the length of the pipe, and R410A refrigerant should be used. ▶ Use clean refrigerant pipe, and there shouldn't be any harmful ions, oxide, dust, iron content, or moisture inside the pipe. ▶ Use tools and accessories that fit R410A only.

SAMSUNG AM048TXMDCH - Refrigerant pipe work - 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 air and it makes the pressure inside the refrigerant cycle abnormally high. It may cause explosion and injury.

AM048TXMDCH 3.2 7.055
AM053TXMDCH 3.3 7.275

▶ Charging additional refrigerant

The amount of additional refrigerant charging =The amount of refrigerant charging for pipe + the amount of refrigerant correction charging for an indoor unit.

1) The amount of additional refrigerant depending on the pipe size.

- The amount of additional refrigerant has to be calculated based on the sum of all liquid pipe lengths.

Size of liquid pipe [mm(inch)] 6.35 (1/4) 9.52 (3/8) 12.7 (1/2) 15.88 (5/8)
Additional amount [kg/m (lb/ft)]0.02 (0.013)0.06 (0.040)0.125 (0.084)0.18 (0.121)

Additional refrigerant charging calculation = The sum of total length of ∅ 9.52 liquid pipe (m) × 60g + the sum of total length of ∅ 6.35 liquid pipe (m) × 20g

Ex) a( 9.52)=40m(131.23') , b+c+d( 9.52)=15m(49.21') , e+f+g( 6.35)=15m(49.21')

The amount of additional refrigerant = 55m(180.45') x 60g + 15m(49.21') x 20g = 3600g

Wiring work

Wiring work should be performed in accordance with related laws such as 'Technical specification on electric installation,' 'Wiring regulations' or 'Installation manual'. ▶ Copper cable should be used for wiring work and all the wires or parts should be rated products.

▶ Wiring work should be performed by a company certified by an electric power company. ▶ Refer to the circuit diagram attached to the outdoor unit for detailed wiring work.

▶ Wiring work should be performed after disconnecting main circuit breaker and Y-joint switch.

▶ You must perform grounding work.

(Grounding resistance value should be less than 100Ω.)

When ELCB is installed, protective grounding resistance value can be applied.

(When the ELCB is 100mA, 0.1sec, protective grounding resistance value should be less than 250Ω at a place where electric danger is high and should be less than 500Ω at other places.)

▶ Electric wiring circuit diagram displays outline only.

▶ Do not connect a heater to an outdoor unit and do not install a duct which you arbitrarily remodeled. - Failure to do so may result in reduced capacity of an air conditioner, electric shock, and fire. ▶ Do not connect the grounding wire to that of gas pipe, water pipe, lightning rod, or telephone. - Gas pipe: If the gas leaks, explosion or ignition may occur. - Water pipe: If rigid vinyl pipe is used, grounding effect will not work. - Grounding wire and lightning rod of telephone: The electric potential of grounding wire may rise abnormally in the falling of a thunderbolt. The ELB for ground-fault protection only should be combined with MCCB or fuse equipped load breaker switch. In this case, you should use the one that has at least the same or more capacity as fuse capacity or the rated current of MCCB. Use the wires that comply with regulated specification and firmly connect to the terminal board. Then tighten it with the screws provided so that the terminal board cannot be moved by external force. (The connecting cable and the grounding terminal should be locally procured). When wiring, the connection cable shouldn't be too tight.

▶ Apply silicon at the end of CD pipe so that rainwater does not enter.

The corresponding accessories are not supplied with the air conditioner.

1) Select a grounding rod that complies with the specifications given in the illustration.

Carbon rod, copper wire, PVC-insulated green/yellow wire, compressed ring terminal (terminal M4).

2) Select a proper place for the grounding rod installation.

  • In damp hard soil rather than loose sandy or gravel soil that has a higher grounding resistance.
  • Away from underground structures or facilities, such as gas pipes, water pipes, telephone lines and underground cables.
  • At least two meters away from lightning (as in a storm) conductor.

50 cm (1.6 ft), 30 cm (1 ft).

SAMSUNG AM048TXMDCH - Grounding work - 3

- The grounding wire for the telephone line cannot be used to ground the air conditioner.

3) Install a green/yellow coloured grounding wire :

  • Refer to the 'Wiring work' for the specification of grounding wire.
  • When the grounding wire is too short, extend the grounding wire but bind the connection part with insulation tape. (Do not bury the connection).
  • Secure the grounding wire in position with staples.

SAMSUNG AM048TXMDCH - Grounding work - 4

- When the grounding rod is installed in a place where many people pass by, you must fix it firmly.

4) Carefully check the installation, by measuring the grounding resistance with a ground resistance tester.

- If the resistance is above required level, drive the grounding rod deeper into the ground or increase the number of grounding rods.

5) Connect the grounding wire to the electrical component box inside of the outdoor unit.

Pump Down

SAMSUNG AM048TXMDCH - Pump Down - 1

  • 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 high a pressure to develop inside the refrigerant circuit, leading to an explosion or product malfunction.

The object of pump down

▶ You can reduce as much refrigerant leakage as possible during product movement or repair by collecting the refrigerant to the outdoor unit.

Caution for pump down procedure

The amount of refrigerant that can be put into an outdoor unit is limited due to the slim shape of the outdoor unit. Before performing pump down, most of the refrigerant should be put into an empty container at first. The maximum amount of refrigerant that can be put into the outdoor unit is 5kg (176.4 oz). When the amount of system refrigerant exceeds the amount of maximum receptive capacity, compressor trip or damage by fire might be caused.

Pump down procedure

▶ Before performing pump down, collect the refrigerant into the empty container. ▶ Turn off the manifold gage. ▶ Turn off the service valve of liquid pipe side. ▶ Press K2 button on the outdoor unit PCB three times. ('F7' is displayed on outdoor PCB LED.) When the compressor starts operating, observe low pressure using manifold gage. When the low pressure goes below 0 MPa (gauge pressure), turn off the service valve at gas side and finish the pump down operation. (To finish pump down operation, press K2 button one more time or press K3 button one time to be initiated.)

SAMSUNG AM048TXMDCH - Pump down procedure - 1

- When putting refrigerant into the refrigerant container, you must use the exclusive container that can be recharged. When remodeling normal refrigerant container illegally, explosion might occur.

How to put the refrigerant into the refrigerant container before pump down operation

* When the amount of refrigerant charged in the system exceeds maximum receptive capacity, collect the refrigerant into the refrigerant container at first and then perform the pump down. ▶ Prepare the exclusive refrigerant container that can be recharged, scale, and manifold gage that can be recharged. ▶ Check the current amount of refrigerant within the system. ▶ After connecting the refrigerant container to an outdoor unit, operate 50% of all indoor units as cooling mode. ▶ Check the pressure of high pressure side for manifold gage after 10 minutes from cooling operation. When the pressure of high pressure side is above 2.9 MPa (gauge pressure), 420.61 psig decrease the number of operating indoor unit and make the pressure below 2.9 MPa (gauge pressure), 420.61 psig. ▶ After checking that the pressure of high pressure side went below 2.9 MPa (gauge pressure), 420.61 psig, open the manifold gage side valve(2) that is connected to the liquid pipe and refrigerant container valve. Then run the refrigerant from liquid pipe to refrigerant container. ▶ Check whether the proper amount of refrigerant are put into the container using a scale, turn off the valve and remove the manifold gage. The amount of refrigerant that can be put into the refrigerant container should be about 50% of all refrigerant of the whole system. ▶ Do not collect too much refrigerant in one refrigerant container.

Inspection and check operation

SAMSUNG AM048TXMDCH - Inspection and check operation - 1

Precautions before check operation

  • When the outdoor temperature is low, turn on the main power 3 hours before beginning the operation.
  • If you start the operation immediately after turning on the main power, it may cause serious damage to the part within the product.
  • Do not touch the refrigerant pipe during or right after the operation.
  • Refrigerant pipe may be hot or cold during or right after the operation depending on the status of the refrigerant which flows through the refrigerant pipe, compressor and other parts of the refrigerant cycle. If you touch the refrigerant during or right after the operation, you may get burns or frostbite.
  • Do not operate the product with its panel or protection nets off.
  • There is risk of personal injury from the parts that rotates, heated or with the high voltage.
  • Do not turn off the main power immediately after stopping the operation.
  • Wait for at least 5 minutes before turning off the main power. If not, water leakage or other problems may occur.
  • Connect all the indoor units and the power supply for the outdoor unit and run auto or manual address setting. Run auto or manual address setting after changing the indoor unit PCB.

Inspection before check operation

1) Check the power cable and communication cable of the indoor and outdoor unit. 2) Supply power to the outdoor unit 3 hours before check operation to pre-heat the crank case heater. 3) Before supplying the power, use a voltmeter and phase tester to check the voltage and the phase. - 230V between wires (R-S, S-T, T-R) 4) When the power is supplied, outdoor unit will execute tracking to check the indoor unit connection and other options. 5) Write down the installation report on the service history report paper attached on the front part of the control box.

SAMSUNG AM048TXMDCH - Inspection before check operation - 1

• Supply power to the outdoor unit 3 hours before check operation to pre-heat the crank case heater.

6) Guaranteed range of check operation

For correct judgment, you must perform check operation in below indoor/outdoor temperature condition.

| Indoor temperature [°C(°F)] | Outdoor temperature [°C(°F)] | Category | |---|---|---| | 5 (41) | 50 (122) | Heating | | 10 (50) | 40 (104) | Heating | | 15 (59) | 30 (86) | Heating | | 20 (68) | 20 (68) | Heating | | 25 (77) | 10 (50) | Heating | | 30 (86) | 10 (50) | Heating | | 35 (95) | 0 (32)…

- Check operation selects and operates cooling/heating mode automatically.

  • In the temperature range marked with slashed pattern, system protection control may trigger during operation. (It may be hard to judge the check operation correctly due to protection control operation.)
  • When the temperature is outside of guaranteed range, accuracy of judgment on check operation may decrease near border line area.

Inspection and check operation

Check operation

1) Use KEY MODE to run check operation.

  • When the check operation is not completed, UP (unprepared) will appear on the LED after the communication check and restrict compressor from operating. (UP Mode will be cleared automatically when check operation is completed.)
  • Check operation may proceed from 30 minutes up to a maximum of 50 minutes, depending on the operation status.
  • During check operation, noise may be generated due to valve inspection. (Check the product if abnormal noise occurs continuously.)

2) If an error occurs during check operation, check the error code and take appropriate measures.

- Refer to the service manual if you need inspection or when other errors occur.

3) When check operation ends, use S-NET pro or S-CHECKER to issue a result report.

  • Refer to the service manual for further actions if you have any items with "inspection required" sign on the result report.
  • After taking appropriate measures for the items with "inspection needed" sign, run the check operation again.

4) Check the following items by running (cooling/heating) trial operation.

  • Check if cooling/heating operation performs normally.
  • Individual indoor unit control: Check for air flow direction and fan speed.
  • Check for abnormal operation noise from the indoor and outdoor unit.
  • Check for proper draining from the indoor unit during cooling operation.
  • Use S-NET pro to check the detailed operation status.

5) Explain to the user how to use the air conditioner according to the user's manual. 6) Hand over the installation manual to the customer so they can keep it with them.
