Indoor Unit Installation

Installation Instructions ­ Indoor unit
PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
Before installing the indoor unit, refer to the label on the product box to make sure that the model number of the indoor unit matches the model number of the outdoor unit.
Step 1: Select installation location Before installing the indoor unit, you must choose an appropriate location. The following are standards that will help you choose an appropriate location for the unit.
Proper installation locations meet the following standards:
Good air circulation Convenient drainage Noise from the unit will not disturb other
people Firm and solid–the location will not vibrate Strong enough to support the weight of the
unit A location at least one meter from all other
electrical devices (e.g., TV, radio, computer)
DO NOT install unit in the following locations:
Near any source of heat, steam, or combustible gas
Near flammable items such as curtains or clothing
Near any obstacle that might block air circulation
Near the doorway
In a location subject to direct sunlight

NOTE ABOUT WALL HOLE:
If there is no fixed refrigerant piping:
While choosing a location, be aware that you should leave ample room for a wall hole (see Drill wall hole for connective piping step) for the signal cable and refrigerant piping that connect the indoor and outdoor units. The default position for all piping is the right side of the indoor unit (while facing the unit). However, the unit can accommodate piping to both the left and right.
Refer to the following diagram to ensure proper distance from walls and ceiling:
15cm (5.9in) or more

12cm (4.75in) or more

12cm (4.75in) or more

2.3m (90.55in) or more
Step 2: Attach mounting plate to wall The mounting plate is the device on which you will mount the indoor unit.
Take out the mounting plate at the back of the indoor unit.

Secure the mounting plate to the wall with the screws provided. Make sure that mounting plate is flat against the wall.
NOTE FOR CONCRETE OR BRICK WALLS:
If the wall is made of brick, concrete, or similar material, drill 5mm- diameter (0.2in-diameter) holes in the wall and insert the sleeve anchors provided. Then secure the mounting plate to the wall by tightening the screws directly into the clip anchors.

Indoor Unit Installation

Page 22

Step 3: Drill wall hole for connective piping
1. Determine the location of the wall hole based on the position of the mounting plate. Refer to Mounting Plate Dimensions.
2. Using a 65mm (2.5in) or 90mm(3.54in) (depending on models )core drill, drill a hole in the wall. Make sure that the hole is drilled at a slight downward angle, so that the outdoor end of the hole is lower than the indoor end by about 5mm to 7mm (0.2-0.275in). This will ensure proper water drainage.
3. Place the protective wall cuff in the hole. This protects the edges of the hole and will help seal it when you finish the installation process.

Step 4: Prepare refrigerant piping The refrigerant piping is inside an insulating sleeve attached to the back of the unit. You must prepare the piping before passing it through the hole in the wall. 1. Based on the position of the wall hole relative
to the mounting plate, choose the side from which the piping will exit the unit. 2. If the wall hole is behind the unit, keep the knock-out panel in place. If the wall hole is to the side of the indoor unit, remove the plastic knock-out panel from that side of the unit. This will create a slot through which your piping can exit the unit. Use needle nose pliers if the plastic panel is too difficult to remove by hand.
Knock-out Panel
3. If existing connective piping is already embedded in the wall, proceed directly to the Connect Drain Hose step. If there is no embedded piping, connect the indoor unit’s refrigerant piping to the connective piping that will join the indoor and outdoor units. Refer to the Refrigerant Piping Connection section of this manual for detailed instructions.
NOTE ON PIPING ANGLE Refrigerant piping can exit the indoor unit from four different angles:Left-hand side,Right-hand side, Left rear, Right rear.

Step 5:Connect drain hose
By default, the drain hose is attached to the lefthand side of unit (when you’re facing the back of the unit). However, it can also be attached to the right-hand side. To ensure proper drainage, attach the drain hose on the same side that your refrigerant piping exits the unit. Attach drain hose extension (purchased separately) to the end of drain hose.
Wrap the connection point firmly with Teflon tape to ensure a good seal and to prevent leaks.
For the portion of the drain hose that will remain indoors, wrap it with foam pipe insulation to prevent condensation. Remove the air filter and pour a small amount of water into the drain pan to make sure that water flows from the unit smoothly.
NOTE ON DRAIN HOSE PLACEMENT
Make sure to arrange the drain hose according to the follo.wing figures.

CORRECT
Make sure there are no kinks or dent in drain hose to ensure proper drainage.

NOT CORRECT
Kinks in the drain hose will create water traps.

Indoor Unit Installation

CAUTION
Be extremely careful not to dent or damage the piping while bending them away from the unit. Any dents in the piping will affect the unit’s performance.

NOT CORRECT
Kinks in the drain hose will create water traps.

NOT CORRECT Do not place the end of the drain hose in water or in containers that collect water. This will prevent proper drainage.

PLUG THE UNUSED DRAIN HOLE

To prevent unwanted leaks you must plug the unused drain hole with the rubber plug provided.

· The service engineers shall not use any ignition sources with the risk of fire or explosion.
· Potential ignition sources shall be kept away from the work area where the flammable refrigerant can possibly be released to the surrounding.
· The work area should be checked to ensure that there are no flammable hazards or ignition risks. The “No Smoking” sign shall be attached.
· Under no circumstances shall potential sources of ignition be used while in detection of leakage.
· Make sure that the seals or sealing materials have not degraded.
· Safe parts are the ones with which the worker can work in a flammable atmosphere. Other parts may result in ignition due to leakage.
· Replace components only with parts specified by Samsung. Other parts may result in the ignition of refrigerant in the atmosphere from a leak.
Area ventilation
· Make sure that the work area is well ventilated before performing a hot work.
· Ventilation shall be made even during the work. · The ventilation should safely disperse any
released gases and preferably expel them into the atmosphere.
· Ventilation shall be made even during the work.
Leakage detection methods
· The leakage detector shall be calibrated in a refrigerant-free area.
· Make sure that the detector is not a potential source of ignition.

· The recovered refrigerant shall be returned to the supplier in the correct recovery cylinders with the Waste Transfer Note attached.
· Do not mix refrigerants in the recovery units or cylinders.
· If compressors or compressor oils are to be removed, make sure that they have been evacuated to the acceptable level to ensure that flammable refrigerant does not remain in the lubricant.
· The evacuation process shall be performed before sending the compressor to the suppliers.
· Only the electrical heating to the compressor body is allowed to accelerate the process.
· Oil shall be drained safely from the system. · For installation with handling the refrigerant
(R-32), use dedicated tools and piping materials. Because the pressure of the refrigerant, R-32 is approximately 1.6 times higher than that of R-22, failure to use the dedicated tools and piping materials may cause rupture or injury. Furthermore, it may cause serious accidents such as water leakage, electric shock, or fire. · Never install a motor-driven equipment to prevent ignition.
