DESIGN INFORMATION AS SUPPLIED the air curtain operates on a 1 phase electrical supply (1L+N+E) from a local switched spur which provides power for fans and controls. There is an integral defrost cycle auxiliary heater located inside the air curtain but this is ‘disabled’ as supplied. If the defrost cycle auxiliary heater is required the air curtain will then need a 3 phase electrical supply (3L+N+E) from a local switched spur, instead of the 1 phase electrical supply, to provide power for the heater as well which will need to be ‘enabled’...

The air curtain can also be set up on site during commissioning to operate under Inlet Air Temperature Control or Room Air Temperature Control and is then used with a Mitsubishi Electric PAR-30 MAA Remote Controller. The following functions are available:- ...

The air curtain is designed only for use with a Mitsubishi Electric Mr Slim Outdoor Unit for use on R410A. The complete Thermoscreens air curtain / Mitsubishi Electric heat pump system, including refrigerant pipework, wiring, controls, etc. must be installed only by an approved Mitsubishi Electric refrigeration contractor.
UNPACKING THE AIR CURTAIN The following items are supplied and packaged within the air curtain box :- HP Heat Pump Air Curtain Wall Brackets and Fixing Bolts Please note, plastic end caps are supplied loose to be fitted during installation for if air curtain is to be wall mounted Remote 3-Speed Fan Switch If remote fan speed control is required by the end user...

To gain access inside the Air Curtain To gain access for connection of the electrical supply, controls wiring and to work on the unit during commissioning, remove the air inlet grilles and the bottom access panel. First remove the plastic end caps at each end of the unit, if already fitted, by pulling off to the side (see picture).

2) If the defrost cycle auxiliary heater is to be enabled during site commissioning (400V/3ph/50Hz electrical supply from separate local isolator), see Wiring Diagram 2, Page 17 Connect to terminals Earth, L1, L2, L3 and N with a 3- phase electrical supply. Connect terminals S2 and S3 from the outdoor unit to terminals S2 and S3 on the air curtain –...
Wiring of Air Curtain Fan Speed As delivered the air curtain is link wired to operate on a single fan speed at its medium speed, see picture opposite. Current thinking for air curtain technology, however, is to have a Door-Switch wired to switch the unit between a Higher fan speed - Door Open and a Lower fan speed - Door Closed.

There is a Mitsubishi Electric Interface PCB located within the left hand end of the Thermoscreens Air Curtain. This provides control and communication between the Mitsubishi Electric Outdoor Unit and the Air Curtain Indoor Unit. It is held in place by a fixing screw located in the left-hand end panel of the air curtain under the left-hand plastic end cap.
Dip Switch Settings and Air Temperature Sensor Position As supplied the air curtain is set-up to be operated under Weather Compensation Control (HEATING ECO) or Discharge Air Temperature Control (HEATING) and the air temperature sensor (marked red) is located in a temperature pocket in the air discharge plenum of the unit.
Selecting the Fan Speeds of the Air Curtain The fan motor(s) in the air curtain is a 5-speed motor and fan speeds can be re-selected at commissioning to suit the installation, both to suit the outdoor environmental conditions and for indoor noise levels. As delivered, for the 3 fan speeds available at the fan speed DIN rail terminals:- the HIGH fan speed (black wire) is wired into motor tapping 1 (highest motor speed tapping),...

The table below provides guidance as to how the fan speeds can be set. WARNING: There are two motors on the HP2000DXE model, make sure both motors are wired up in exactly the same way or the motors will overheat with possible damage. Motor Speed Maximum air curtain Sound...
Starting the Heat Pump System Carry out a final inspection to ensure that all wiring is in accordance with Wiring Diagram 1 on Page 16 or wiring Diagram 2 on Page 17 and that all connections have been properly made. Ensure that the refrigerant system is complete, there are no leaks and there is sufficient charge of refrigerant R410A.

For the Air Curtain to be used for Weather Compensation Control (HEATING ECO mode) with a PAR-W21MAA Remote Controller, the Heating Curve and Function Limits must now be set-up as follows :- Refer to PAR-W21MAA diagram, Figure 3, and typical heating curve in Figure 4 and set up the Heating Curve: Air Curtain Discharge Air Temperature...

If the Air Curtain is set-up for :- Inlet Air Temperature Control Room Air Temperature Control (air curtain has been modified during commissioning) with a PAR-30MAA Remote Controller, BMS or Centralised Controller :- Switch the Mode Button on the PAR-30MAA Remote Controller to ‘HEAT’ and adjust the target temperature to 28°C maximum setting using the + Temp.
If the air curtain is to be operated from a BMS System or Centralised Controller this should be configured so that the air curtain can only operate in HEAT or FAN mode if it is not fitted with a condensate disposal system. The air curtain should only be configured to operate in COOL mode if it is fitted with a condensate disposal system.

The factory set default schedule is suitable for most applications. However, the actual frequency of cleaning required will depend on the environment. Two alternative filter indicator schedules are available, and can be selected by changing the ‘jumper’ position (marked 1, 2 or 3) on the Filter Indicator PCB. Half Default Double...
Hand-over to End-User Before leaving site it is important that there is a 'Hand-Over Meeting' to hand-over the heat pump system and air curtain installation to the end user or their representative. This should include a full and clear explanation of how the system operates and a demonstration showing the air curtain running.
USER INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE AIR CURTAIN For Weather Compensation Control (HEATING ECO mode) Discharge Air Temperature Control (HEATING mode) To Switch On and Off: Turn the air curtain ON by pressing the ON/OFF Button on the PAR-W21MAA Remote Controller and the air curtain fans will start within a few seconds. If a 3-Speed Fan Switch is fitted adjust the fan speed to suit using the slider switch.
USER INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE AIR CURTAIN For Inlet Air Temperature Control Room Air Temperature Control To Switch On and Off: Turn the air curtain ON by pressing the ON/OFF Button on the PAR-30MAA Remote Controller and the air curtain fans will start within a few seconds. If a 3-Speed Fan Switch is fitted adjust the fan speed to suit using the slider switch.
SERVICING THE AIR CURTAIN Vacuum Clean the Air Inlet Grilles / Filters (Fortnightly, or when the Filter Dirty Indicator shows PERMANENT RED) With the air curtain switched OFF, a vacuum cleaner with an extension tube and brush attachment at its end should be used to clean the face of the air inlet grilles.
Page 34
Remove the air filters from the air inlet grilles by gently prizing them free as shown. Gently vacuum clean and refit the filters into the curved air inlet grilles. The filters are durable but may need to be replaced after a number of service intervals. To remove the bottom access panel unfasten the access panel securing screws, one at each end, plus two in the centre (HP1500 DXE and HP2000 DXE units) and slide the panel out...

Using a 10mm spanner loosen the two bolts, one at each end of the air discharge opening, by 2 turns. Do not remove these two bolts completely. Remove the row of fixing screws along the whole length of the drain tray (see picture). The drain tray now hinges down along its front edge and the inside surface of the tray can be cleaned.
