    The complete Thermoscreens air curtain / Mitsubishi Electric heat pump system, to provide a heat pump air curtain over a doorway, including wiring, fridge pipework, etc. is to be installed only by an approved Mitsubishi Electric refrigeration contractor. IMPORTANT This Heat Pump Air Curtain is intended only for use with a Mitsubishi Electric City Multi (VRF) system, for use on R410A.
  • Page 10: Installation Of The Air Curtain

    INSTALLATION OF THE HEAT PUMP AIR CURTAIN The air curtain is designed to be recessed within ceiling voids or bulkheads within a building and located horizontally over a doorway. It must not be installed outside of the building. Location The air curtain must be mounted so the recessed grille is located up to 3.8m maximum above floor level and Air Inlet as close to the doorway as possible.
  • Page 11 On the VRF HP1500R and VRF HP2000R units there is an additional hanging point located towards the middle of the unit for an M10 hanging rod and this must be used. Ensure each of the hanging rods is secured onto a suitable structure that can support the weight of the unit (see Table on Page 10).* Adjust the height of the unit on its hanging rods so the bottom surface of the casing goes 38mm up into the ceiling as shown in the diagram.

    For the City Multi (VRF) R2 and WR2 Series system, pipework from each air curtain must connect to one pair of ports on the Mitsubishi Electric BC Controller. Do not combine pipework from two or more air curtains together into one set of pipework and then connect this to one pair of ports.
  • Page 16: Electrical Supply And Wiring To The Air Curtain

    Electrical Supply and Wiring to the Air Curtain This must be carried out AFTER the connection of the refrigerant pipework. All electrical wiring and connections MUST be carried out by a competent qualified electrician in accordance with the latest edition of the IEE wiring regulations and/or local statutory regulations.

    If the air curtain is to be manually controlled by the end user a Mitsubishi Electric PAR-30MAA remote controller (not supplied by Thermoscreens) must be supplied and fitted by the installer. This is wired to terminals 1 and 2 on the air curtain using 2-core cable. Refer to the Mitsubishi Electric instructions that come with the PAR-30MAA remote controller for the installation and wiring of the controller.
  • Page 21 If it is not practical to gravity drain from the air curtain a suitable condensate pump (not supplied with the unit) can be supplied and fitted by the installer to remove condensate directly from the unit. The condensate pump must be of sufficient capacity (see Table below) and if located higher than the drain tray;...

    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 City Multi system and the Air Curtain Indoor Unit. It is held in place by a fixing screw located at the bottom edge of the PCB, see picture.

    curtain and it should run in this set-up with no further adjustments, automatically heating as required. If the target temperature is reached the air curtain fans will still operate but the air stream is then not heated (ambient air curtain). If the end user is to operate the air curtain with a remote controller, set up the No.1 locking function on the controller so they can only switch the air curtain ON or OFF, with no control of mode or target temperatures.

  • Page 29: Hand-Over To End-User

    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.
  • Page 30: User Instructions For The Air Curtain

    USER INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE AIR CURTAIN To Switch On and Off: Turn the air curtain ON by pressing the ON/OFF Button on the PAR-30MAA (or PAR- F27MEA) Remote Controller and the air curtain fans will start within a few seconds. As set up by the Commissioning Technician the air curtain will operate in Heat mode, automatically heating as required, with a target temperature of 24°C - all other buttons on the Remote Controller are locked out.
  • Page 31: Fortnightly Cleaning

    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 grille and the filter at the back of the grille.
  • Page 32 The air inlet filter can now be unclipped from the top of the grille and brushed and vacuum cleaned. Refit the filter opposite to removal. The filter is durable but may need to be replaced after a number of service intervals. Vacuum clean and remove any build-up of dust, dirt and debris within the air-curtain, especially on the fans.
  • Page 33 Check there are no kinks in condensate hoses. If the condensate pump is a peristaltic type change the rubber pump head tube. Refit drain tray opposite to removal. Once the air curtain has been cleaned, visually inspect the air curtain components. Ensure pipe temperature sensors are located in their pockets and any foam insulation covering these pockets is un-damaged.
