This document is an installation manual for a Samsung 1 Way Cassette WindFree Panel air conditioner, covering models PC1MWFMAN, PC1NWFMAN, and PC1BWFMAN. It provides instructions for the proper installation of the panel and outlines key features and considerations for its operation and maintenance.
Function Description
The Samsung 1 Way Cassette WindFree Panel is an indoor unit designed to provide air conditioning. A key feature is its "WindFree" function, which aims to deliver a comfortable cooling experience by minimizing direct airflow. The manual emphasizes the importance of correct installation to ensure the WindFree function operates as intended and to prevent issues like condensation and air leaks. The panel integrates with a higher-level controller (such as DMS, Touch Centralized Controller, or Wi-Fit kit) to manage its functions.
Installation Process
The installation process involves several critical steps to ensure the panel is securely and correctly attached to the indoor unit:
- Panel Fixing: The panel is fixed by engaging latches on both sides onto corresponding grooves on the indoor unit. This initial step ensures the panel is properly aligned.
- Screw Fastening: After aligning, screw covers on the air outlet are opened to insert and fasten panel fixing screws. The manual stresses that these screws must be fastened completely to prevent gaps between the indoor unit and the panel, which could lead to condensation.
- Air Filter Handling: The air filter handle is pressed, and the filter is pulled out. The appearance of the handle may vary by model. After wiring, the air filter is closed.
- Wiring: Wiring is performed between the indoor unit and the panel. This involves unfastening three screws from the electrical part, removing it, and then connecting the connectors on the panel to the connectors on the indoor unit PCB. Specific connections include the swing motor, remote control sensor, and humidity sensor. It is crucial to ensure that the colors of the connectors match to avoid operational issues. If any connector is not connected or is connected to a different color connector, both the air conditioner and the remote control will not operate.
- Panel Check: After installation, it's essential to check that the panel is firmly fixed to the indoor unit. Screws should be fastened tightly to eliminate any gaps between the ceiling and the panel, and the panel must be installed parallel to the ceiling and its joints. Gaps can lead to air leaks, dust accumulation, condensation, and water drops. If gaps are present, the height of the indoor unit should be adjusted.
- Grill Connection: The final step involves connecting the grill. This is done by hooking two panel safety hooks onto both sides of the grill and then pushing the [PUSH] sign to fix it. A note advises hooking the safety hooks before working on the grill to prevent it from falling.

Safety and Cautionary Notes
- Panel Handling: Users are cautioned to handle the panel carefully, avoiding leaning it against walls or placing it on protruding objects to prevent damage. Care is also advised when installing the air inlet panel by hand to prevent injury.
- Condensation and Air Leaks: Incomplete or incorrect installation, particularly loose screws or gaps between the panel and the indoor unit/ceiling, can lead to condensation, air leaks, and dust accumulation. The manual advises using indoor unit installation gauges (from the pattern sheet) to remove gaps.
- Electrical Connections: Mismatched or unconnected wiring can prevent the air conditioner and remote control from operating.
- User Instruction: After installation, it is crucial to explain to the user how to operate the air conditioner.
