Choosing The Installation Location - Samsung AM AXV Series Installation Manual

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.

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.)
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 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 installed within 500m 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 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.
