SAM 40Chapter 1 | Important information6

Transport
The supply air module must be transported and stored
dry.
Assembly
SAM 40 is mounted free standing on brackets, altern-
atively above a VPB 200 (For VPB 300/VPBS 300 install-
ation is with the help of brackets). Noise from the fan
can be transferred to the brackets.
■Install the brackets to an outside wall, ideally in a
room where noise does not matter, in order to elim-
inate noise problems. If this is not possible, avoid
placing it against a wall behind a bedroom or other
room where noise may be a problem.
■Wherever the unit is located, walls to sound sensitive
rooms should be fitted with sound insulation.
■Route pipes so they are not fixed to an internal wall
that backs on to a bedroom or living room.
Installation area
Leave a free space of 500 mm in front of the supply air
module. All service on SAM 40 can be carried out from
the front.
800
NOTE
Ensure that there is sufficient space (300 mm)
above the supply air module for installing
ventilation hoses.
Removing the covers

1. Remove the service cover by pulling it straight out.

Caution
If the total circulating volume in the climate
system (excluding the heat pump volume) falls
below 40 litres, extra system volume is connec-
ted, for example volume vessel UKV (CP1) ac-
cording to the outline diagram above.
NOTE
If several climate systems (ECS 40/ECS 41) are
present, SAM 40 must be connected in parallel
with climate system 1. A circulation pump must
be used to ensure the flow over SAM 40.

Installing on VPB 200
Caution
For connection of VPB 200 together with F750
docking kit DEW 40 is used.
1. Remove the service cover from VPB 200.
2. Remove the top panel from VPB 200 (installed with
6 screws).
3. Install DEW 40 according to the instructions in the
installation manual. The pipes in VPB 200 can be
adjusted/replaced in such a way that SAM 40 can
easily be installed above VPB 200.
4. Install SAM 40 from the top and slide into position.
LEK
5. Secure SAM 40 with the 2 screws supplied.
LEK
6. Connect heating medium and ventilation pipes.
7. Reinstall the service cover on VPB 200.
Heating medium side
A water borne climate system with a volume of at least
20 litres of circulating water must be present for install-
ation of SAM 40 to be possible. For the correct function
of SAM 40 the total volume of the climate system (ex-
cluding the internal volume in F750) must exceed 40
litres of circulating water. This means that, if the volume
of the climate system does not exceed 40 litres of circu-
lating water, installation of volume vessel (NIBE UKV)
is necessary.
Dimensioning the system
1. Work from the water temperature at DUT (DVUT).
2. Work from the current supply air flow.
3. Work from the desired supply air temperature,
then calculate the output that SAM 40 must give
at DUT.
4. Determine the water flow across SAM 40 from the
correct output diagram. NOTE! For supply temper-
atures that are not in one of the diagrams, an es-
timate (linear interpolation) can be carried out.
5. Work from the projected pressure drop (at the
projected flow) in the water borne system, climate
system 1.
6. Check in the pressure drop diagram that the
working point is inside the grey working area.
7. Check that the pump capacity from F750 is suffi-
cient for both the heating system and SAM 40.

The diagram shows pressure drop across SAM 40 at

the same as that which prevails across the climate sys-
tem 1.
Check that the working point is inside the grey working
area. If the working point is inside the darker grey area
to the left of the diagram, it can give an oscillating
supply air temperature.
NOTE
Venting may be necessary on installation and
after a period of use. Vent through vent valve
(QM20).
15Chapter 4 | Pipe and ventilation connectionsSAM 40

General ventilation connection
Ventilation installation must be carried out in accord-
ance with current norms and directives.
To prevent fan noise being transferred to the supply
air devices, it may be a good idea to install a silencer
in the duct. This is especially important if there are
supply air devices in bedrooms.
Connections must be made via flexible hoses, which
must be installed so that they are easy to replace. The
air should be routed to the outdoor air duct through
an outside wall grille in the facade. The outer wall grille
must be installed protected from the weather and must
be designed so that no rain water can penetrate the
facade. The outdoor air duct must be provided with
diffusion-tight insulation over its entire length. Ensure
that the condensation insulation is sealed at any joints
and/or at lead-in nipples, silencers, roof cowls or similar.
Provision must be made for inspection and cleaning of
the duct. Make sure that there are no reductions of
cross-sectional area in the form of creases, tight bends
etc, since this will reduce the ventilation capacity. The
air duct system must be a minimum of air tightness
class B.
Ø160

LEK
Supply air
Outdoor air
Ventilation flow
The supply air flow must be lower than the exhaust air
flow to prevent over pressure in the house.
Ensure that the ventilation openings are not blocked.
Set the ventilation capacity in the heat pump's menu
system (menu 5.1.6).
Adjusting ventilation
To obtain the necessary air exchange in every room of
the house, the exhaust air device and the supply air
device must be correctly positioned and adjusted and
the fans in the heat pump and supply air module adjus-
ted.
Immediately after installation adjust the ventilation so
that it is set according to the projected value of the
house.
A defective ventilation installation may lead to reduced
installation efficiency and thus poorer operating eco-
nomy, and may result in moisture damage to the house.
SAM 40Chapter 4 | Pipe and ventilation connections16

General
All electrical equipment is connected at the factory.
■Disconnect SAM 40 before insulation testing the
house wiring.
■For the supply air module wiring diagram, see page
27.
■Signal cables to external connections must not be
laid close to high current cables.
■If the supply cable is damaged, only NIBE, its service
representative or similar authorised person may re-
place it to prevent any danger and damage.
NOTE
Electrical installation and service must be car-
ried out under the supervision of a qualified
electrician. Electrical installation and wiring
must be carried out in accordance with the
stipulations in force.
Connections
Connecting to F750
This section describes the electrical connection for
controlling SAM 40 from NIBE F750.
The heat pump switch must be in the " " position and
the switch on SAM 40 in position 0, before any work
is carried out.
1. Ensure that the products are completely disconnec-
ted from the power source. Remove the front hatch
and protective cover to the input card on the heat
pump according to the instructions in its Installer's
manual.
2. Connect cable W102 to position X4 on the input
board in the heat pump, according to the electrical
wiring diagram on page 27. Use the cable lead-in
in the heat pump when routing cables.
If several accessories are to be connected or are
already installed, the adjacent wiring diagram must
be followed.
The first accessory board must be connected dir-
ectly to the heat pump's terminal block AA3-X4.
The following boards must be connected in series
to the previous board.
3. Fix external cable routing.
4. Install the protective cover and the service cover
according to the heat pump Installation manual.
5. Connect plug W101.

before the switch in F750 is set to " ".
1. Set switch (SF1) onSAM 40 in position "1".
2. Set the heat pump's switch (SF1) to "".
3. Follow the instructions in the start guide in the
heat pump display. If the start guide does not start

menu 5.7.
Commissioning
The first time the heat pump is started a start guide is
started. The start guide instructions state what needs
to carried out at the first start together with a run
through of the heat pump’s basic settings.
The start guide ensures that the start-up is carried out
correctly and cannot be bypassed. The start guide can
be started later in menu 5.7.
This applies to a heat pump with approximately 4 kW
rated output.
For a 15 kW heat pump the corresponding flow is from
0.09 l/s (324 l/h) to 0.14 l/s (504 l/h).
Caution
As long as the start guide is active, no function
in the installation will start automatically.
The guide will appear at each installation re-
start until it is deselected on the last page.
