Installation Location; Installing The Indoor Unit - Mitsubishi Electric PEA-RP-EA Installation Manual

1. Safety precautions
1.3. Before electric work
Caution:
• Be sure to install circuit breakers. If not installed, electric shock may result.
• For the power lines, use standard cables of sufficient capacity. Otherwise, a
short circuit, overheating, or fire may result.
• When installing the power lines, do not apply tension to the cables. If the
connections are loosened, the cables can snap or break and overheating or
fire may result.
1.4. Before starting the test run
Caution:
• Turn on the main power switch more than 12 hours before starting operation.
Starting operation just after turning on the power switch can severely dam-
age the internal parts. Keep the main power switch turned on during the op-
eration season.
• Before starting operation, check that all panels, guards and other protective
parts are correctly installed. Rotating, hot, or high voltage parts can cause
injuries.
• Do not operate the air conditioner without the air filter set in place. If the air
filter is not installed, dust may accumulate and breakdown may result.

2. Installation location

• Select a location so that air can be blown into all corners of the room.
• Avoid locations exposed to outside air.
• Select a location free of obstructions to the airflow in and out of the unit.
• Avoid locations exposed to steam or oil vapour.
• Avoid locations where combustible gas may leak, settle or be generated.
• Avoid installation near machines emitting high-frequency waves (high-frequency
welders, etc.)
• Avoid locations where the airflow is directed at a fire alarm sensor. (Hot air could
trigger the alarm during the heating operation.)

• Be sure to ground the unit. Do not connect the ground wire to gas or water
pipes, lighting rods, or telephone grounding lines. If the unit is not properly
grounded, electric shock may result.
• Use circuit breakers (ground fault interrupter, isolating switch (+B fuse), and
molded case circuit breaker) with the specified capacity. If the circuit breaker
capacity is larger than the specified capacity, breakdown or fire may result.
• Do not touch any switch with wet hands. Electric shock may result.
• Do not touch the refrigerant pipes with bare hands during operation. The
refrigerant pipes are hot or cold depending on the condition of the flowing
refrigerant. If you touch the pipes, burns or frostbite may result.
• After stopping operation, be sure to wait at least five minutes before turning
off the main power switch. Otherwise, water leakage or breakdown may re-
sult.
• Avoid places where acidic solutions are frequently handled.
• Avoid places where sulphur-based or other sprays are frequently used.
• Must be installed at least 1.8 m above floor or grade level.
Warning:
The unit must be securely installed on a structure that can sustain its weight.
