- 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 is installed within 500 m (1640.4 ft) of the seashore, special anti-corrosion treatment is required.

* Please contact your local SAMSUNG representative for further details.

A 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 700 mm (27.5 inch) of space between the protection wall and the outdoor unit for air circulation.)SAMSUNG AM144FXVAFH - Selecting installation location - 1

SAMSUNG AM144FXVAFH - Selecting installation location - 2

- System air conditioner may cause static noise when listening to AM stations. Therefore, select an installation location for the indoor unit where electrical wiring can be done while keeping a certain distance from a radio, computer, and stereo equipment.

- Especially, keep the unit at least 3 m (9.84 ft) away from 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 problems 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 concern of direct snowfall on the outdoor unit. Also, build a 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 levels of refrigerant concentration in case of refrigerant leakage, extra ventilation system is required.

- When you install the outdoor unit in high places such as a roof, install a fence or guardrail around it. When there is no fence or guardrail, service personnel 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 inflammable materials (such as wooden materials, oil, etc.) away from the outdoor unit. When there is fire, those inflammable materials will easily catch fire and may pass it on to the product.

- Depending on the condition of power supply, unstable power or voltage may 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 selecting the installation location for the MCU, choose a place far away from indoor rooms, as the refrigerant running of the MCU may generate noise.

Space requirement for installation

▶ Space requirements were determined based on the 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 location is easily heated by solar radiation. ▶ When securing installation space, consider the path for people and the direction of the wind. ▶ Secure installation space as shown in the illustration below, considering ventilation and service space. ▶ If the installation space is narrow, the installer or other workers may get injured during work, and it may also cause problems with the product. If you install multiple outdoor units in one space, make sure to secure enough ventilation space if there are any walls around the product that may disturb the air flow. If sufficient ventilation space is not secured, the product may malfunction. ▶ You may install the outdoor units with 20mm (0.78 inch) of space between them, but the product's performance may decrease depending on the installation environment.

SAMSUNG AM144FXVAFH - Base construction and installation of the outdoor unit - 1

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

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

The manufacturer is not responsible for damage occurred by not following the installation standards.

  1. Make sure that the height of the base ground is 200mm 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, the strength of the base ground must be strong to prevent noise and the top surface of it should be flat.
  3. The base ground should be 1.5 times larger than the bottom of the outdoor unit.
  4. The outdoor unit must be fixed firmly so that it can withstand wind speeds of 30m/s. If you cannot fix the outdoor unit on the base ground, fix it by the side or use extra structure.
  5. In heating operation, defrost water may form, so you must really care about the drainage and waterproofing of the floor. To prevent defrost water from stagnating or freezing, construct a drainage with a slope of over 1/50. (Ice may form on the floor in winter time.)
  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/0.78 inch 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 a 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 AM144FXVAFH - Refrigerant pipe installation - 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.

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.

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 instructions when welding or storing the pipe.

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 damage to important parts such as the compressor and valves, etc. Adjust the flow rate of the nitrogen flushing with a pressure regulator to maintain 0.05 m²/h (0.54 ft²/h) or less.

Direction of the pipe when welding

The pipe should be directed downward or sideways when welding. Avoid welding with the pipe direction heading upward.

SAMSUNG AM144FXVAFH - Direction of the pipe when welding - 1

CAUTION

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

Cutting or flaring the pipes

  1. Make sure that you have prepared the required tools.

▶ Pipe cutter, deburring tool, flaring tool, and pipe holder, etc.

  1. 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 the illustrations below for correct and incorrect examples of cut edges.

Caution for welding the pipe to an outdoor unit

  • When welding the pipe, the unit may get damaged by the heat and flame from welding. Use a flame proofing cloth to protect the unit from a welding fire or flame. Sensor for detecting outside temperature is located on the left side of the welding part so be extra careful not to damage the sensor when welding.
  • The O-ring and Teflon packing inside service valve may get damaged by the heat from welding. Wrap the bottom side of the service valve with a wet cloth and weld it as shown in the illustration. Also, water dripping from the wet cloth may interrupt the welding. Make sure the water does not drip from the wet cloth.
  • Make sure that connected pipes do not interrupt each other or make contact with the product. (Vibration may cause damage to the pipes.)
  • When removing the sealed pipe on the bottom side of the service valve, cut it with a pipe cutter first and then start the welding. When the sealed pipe is welded without cutting, you may get injured by the refrigerant within the pipe.

▶ 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 Nitrogen gas for air tightness test as shown in the illustration.

H/PH/RSAMSUNG AM144FXVAFH - Air tightness test - 1

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 AM144FXVAFH - Air tightness test - 2

Perform a Nitrogen gas leak test with the service valve of the outdoor unit closed. - When charging the nitrogen gas, charge it from both the high and 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.

Connect the manifold gauge to the liquid side pipe and gas side pipe (when installing outdoor units in module).

When installing outdoor units in module, connect the manifold gauge to liquid side pipe and the gas side pipe.

Perform vacuum drying of the liquid side pipe and gas side pipe (when installing outdoor units in module) using a vacuum pump.

Make sure that check valve is installed to prevent pump oil from flowing into the pipe.

While the vacuum gauge pressure is less than -100.7 kPa (5 Torr), perform the vacuum drying for more than 1 hour and close the valve.

Vacuum pressure must be checked with the vacuum gauge.

Rainwater and condensation may seep through the gap between the pipe and the insulation of the outdoor unit installed outside. Separate the pipe cover and close it after insulation work. Only remove the knock-out hole cover where the pipe will be installed. If the knock-out hole is left open unnecessarily, it must be closed. Otherwise, small animals such as squirrels and rats may enter the unit through the hole and cause damage.

Charging additional refrigerant

▶ R-410A refrigerant is a blended refrigerant. Add refrigerant in liquid form only. (Make sure to use the refrigerant cylinder in an upright position) ▶ Measure the quantity of refrigerant according to the length of the liquid side pipe. Add a fixed quantity of refrigerant using a scale.

Single installation

▶ Open the manifold gauge valve connected to the liquid side service valve and add the liquid refrigerant. ▶ If you cannot add the entire quantity of refrigerant while the outdoor unit is stopped, open the gas side and liquid side service valves. Then, add the remaining refrigerant by pressing the refrigerant adding button on the outdoor PCB.

Charging additional refrigerant

Module installation

▶ Open the manifold gauge valve connected to the liquid side service valve and add the liquid refrigerant. If you cannot add the entire quantity of refrigerant while the outdoor unit is stopped, open the gas side and liquid side service valves. Then, add the remaining refrigerant by pressing the refrigerant adding button on the outdoor PCB. If you use the refrigerant charging function from the PCB, the outdoor unit will operate and charge the refrigerant. At this time, you must use the gas side manifold gauge for cooling operation and use the charging port for heating at the manifold gauge for heating operation.

SAMSUNG AM144FXVAFH - Module installation - 2

  • Open the gas side and liquid side service valves completely after charging the refrigerant. (If you operate the air conditioner with the service valves closed, the important parts may be damaged.)
  • Put on safety equipment when charging refrigerant.
  • Do not charge the refrigerant when you adjust or control other products such as indoor units or EEV kits.
  • If you charge the refrigerant with the front cabinet open, be very careful with the fan on the top of the product to prevent personal injury.
  • When the ambient temperature is low in winter, do not heat the refrigerant container to speed up the charging process. There is a risk of explosion.
  • Beware of the possibility of refrigerant leakage when you connect the manifold gauge to the charging port for heating.
  • Close the valve of the refrigerant container immediately after charging the refrigerant. If not, there might be a change in the entire amount of refrigerant.

Using service valve for gas

▶ After charging the refrigerant, close all caps as shown in the illustration. ▶ Tightening torque for the cap of the refrigerant charging port: 10~12 N·m (7.4 ~ 8.9 lbf·ft) ▶ Tightening torque for the cap of the control part: 20~25 N·m (14.8 ~ 18.4 lbf·ft) ▶ Opening/closing torque for the valve - Over ∅19.05mm (∅3/4 inch): 10 N·m (7.4 lbf·ft)

* 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 pressing K2 key 9 to 12 times without inverter checker, error code can be displayed on segment even though the outdoor unit is normal. * 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'. * If the 1st-generation MCU is installed, the Auto pipe pairing operation can not be used. If the 2nd-generation MCU is installed, the Checking the pipe connection can not be used.

Setting the Pipe Addresses Automatically (Auto pipe pairing operation)

You can use the Automatic pipe-address setting operation to automatically set the address of each MCU port that is connected to an indoor unit.

If an MCU port is set incorrectly or a pipe between an MCU and an indoor unit is connected incorrectly, that indoor unit is indicated.

Check items before running the Auto pipe pairing operation

  1. Ensure that the service valve of the outdoor unit is open.
  2. Ensure that the power cables and communication cables of the indoor and outdoor units are correctly connected.
  3. Turn on the indoor and outdoor units 6 hours before running the Automatic pipe-address setting operation to warm up both units sufficiently.
  4. Before turning on the power, check whether the voltages and phases are correct by using a voltmeter and a phase tester.
  5. R,S,T terminal: check the 460V between wires (R-S, S-T, T-R) (AM****XV*J* Model only) / 230V between wires (R-S, S-T, T-R) (AM****XV*F* Model only).
  6. After the power is turned on, set the devices (indoor unit, MCU, and others) that are connected to the outdoor unit, and set the options. Note that, before the MCU port addresses are set, MCU port setting errors (E213, 216, 217, 218) may occur. You can run the Automatic pipe-address setting operation regardless of MCU port setting errors.
