Indoor Unit Installation - Mitsubishi Electric MSZ-GS24NA Installation Manual

2. Indoor Unit Installation

2-1. Attaching the Installation Plate
• Find a stud in the wall to attach installation plate (1) horizontally by tightening the fixing
screws (2) firmly.
• To prevent installation plate (1) from vibrating, be sure to install the attachment screws in
the holes indicated in the illustration. For added support, additional screws may also be
installed in other holes.
• When the knockout is removed, apply vinyl tape to the knockout edges to prevent damag-
ing the wires.
• When the indoor unit is to be attached to a concrete wall using recessed bolts, secure
installation plate (1) using 7/16 inch x 13/16 inch · 7/16 inch x 1 inch (11 mm × 20 mm ·
11 mm × 26 mm) oval hole (17-3/4 inches [450 mm] pitch).
• If the recessed bolt is too long, change it for a shorter one (field-supplied).
2-2. Drilling
1) Determine where the holes will be located on the wall.
2) Drill a ø 3 inches (75 mm) hole. The outdoor side should be 6/32 to 9/32 inch (5 to 7 mm)
lower than the indoor side.
3) Insert wall hole sleeve (C).
2-3. Connecting Wires for the Indoor Unit
Note:
When the indoor unit is powered from the outdoor unit, depending on local code, a discon-
nect switch needs to be installed to a power supply circuit.
1) Remove the panel assembly. (Refer to 5-1.)
2) Place the upper part of the indoor unit on the installation plate.
3) Remove corner box R and electrical cover.
4) Remove display panel, conduit cover and conduit plate.
5) Attach conduit pipe (for rear piping) / elbow joint (for right, left, or downward piping) to
conduit plate with lock nut. The thread of the installed conduit pipe / elbow joint appearing
inside should be less than 3/8 inch (10 mm). (Fig. 1) Elbow joint should appear less than
1-3/16 inches (30 mm) outside. (Fig. 2)
6) Process the end of ground wire (Fig. 3). Connect it to the ground terminal of electrical
parts box.
7) Process the end of indoor/outdoor unit connecting wire (A) (Fig. 3). Attach it to the terminal
block. Be careful not to make mis-wiring. Attach the wire to the terminal block securely
so that its core cannot be seen, and no external force affects the connecting section of
the terminal block.
8) Firmly tighten the terminal screws. After tightening, verify that the wires are tightly fastened.
9) Reinstall conduit plate, conduit cover and display panel.
10) According to the piping direction, remove the shaded part of the corner box L (Fig. 4) or
corner box R (Fig. 5). Reinstall electrical cover, corner box R and panel assembly.
Remark:
* A disconnect switch should be
required.
Check the local code.
