Indoor Unit Installation - Mitsubishi Electric MSZ-AP15VF Manual De Instalación

2. INDOOR UNIT INSTALLATION

2-1. FIXING OF INSTALLATION PLATE
• Find a structural material (such as a stud) in the wall and fix installation plate
(1) horizontally by tightening the fixing screws (2) firmly.
• To prevent installation plate (1) from vibrating, be sure to install the fixing screws
in the holes indicated in the illustration. For added support, fixing screws may
also be installed in other holes.
• When the knockout is removed, apply vinyl tape to the knockout edges to
prevent damaging the wires.
• When bolts recessed in the concrete wall are to be utilized, secure installation
plate (1) using 11 × 20 · 11 × 26 oval hole (450 mm pitch).
• If the recessed bolt is too long, change it for a shorter one available in the
market.
2-2. WALL HOLE DRILLING
1) Determine the wall hole position.
2) Drill a ø65 mm hole. The outdoor side should
be 5 to 7 mm lower than the indoor side.
3) Insert wall hole sleeve (C).

2-3. CONNECTING WIRES FOR INDOOR UNIT
You can connect indoor/outdoor lead wire without removing the front panel.
1) Open the front panel.
2) Remove VA clamp.
3) Pass indoor/outdoor unit connecting wire (A) from the back of the indoor unit
and process the end of the wire.
4) Loosen terminal screw, and connect first the earth wire, then indoor/outdoor
unit connecting wire (A) to the terminal block. Be careful not to make mis-
wiring. Fix the wire to the terminal block securely so that no part of its core is
appeared, and no external force is conveyed to the connecting section of the
terminal block.
5) Firmly tighten the terminal screws to prevent them from loosening. After
tightening, pull the wires lightly to confirm that they do not move.
6) Secure indoor/outdoor unit connecting wire (A) and the earth wire with the VA
clamp. Never fail to hook the left claw of the VA clamp. Attach the VA clamp
securely.

• For future servicing, give extra length to the connecting wires.
• Make earth wire a little longer than others. (More than 60 mm)
• Do not fold the excess wire, or cram it into small space. Take caution not
to damage the wires.
• Be sure to attach each screw to its correspondent terminal when securing
the cord and/or the wire to the terminal block.
Note: Do not place the wires between the indoor unit and the installation
plate (1). Damaged wire could cause heat generation or fire.

2-4. PIPE FORMING AND DRAIN PIPING
Pipe Forming
• Place the drain hose below the refrigerant piping.
• Make sure that the drain hose is not heaved or
snaked.
• Do not pull the hose when applying the tape.
• When the drain hose passes the room, be sure
to wrap insulation material (obtainable at a store)
around it.
Drain Piping
• If the extension drain hose has to pass through a room, be sure to wrap it with
commercially sold insulation.
• The drain hose should point downward for easy drain flow. (Fig. 1)
• If the drain hose provided with the indoor unit is too short, connect it with drain
hose (I) that should be provided at your site. (Fig. 2)
• When connecting the drain hose to the hard vinyl chloride pipe, be sure to
insert it securely into the pipe. (Fig. 3)

Rear, right, or downward piping
1) Put the refrigerant piping and the drain
hose together, then firmly apply piping
tape (G) from the end.
2) Insert the piping and the drain hose
into the wall hole sleeve (C), and hook
the upper part of the indoor unit on the
installation plate (1).
3) Check if the indoor unit is hooked securely on the installation plate (1) by
moving the unit to left and right.
4) Thrust the lower part of the indoor unit into the installation plate (1).
Left or left-rear piping
Note:
Be sure to reattach the drain hose and the drain cap in case of left or left-
rear piping.
Otherwise, it could cause drops of water to drip down from the drain hose.
1) Put the refrigerant piping and the drain hose together, then firmly apply felt
tape (4) from the end.
Felt tape (4) overlap
width should be 1/3
the tape width. Use
Felt tape (4)
a bandage stopper
at the end of felt tape
(4).
2) Pull out the drain cap
at the rear right of the
indoor unit. (Fig. 1)
• Hold the convex section at the end and pull
the drain cap.
3) Pull out the drain hose at the rear left of the
indoor unit. (Fig. 2)
• Hold the claw marked by the arrows and
pull out the drain hose forward.
4) Put the drain cap into the section to which the
drain hose is to be attached at the rear of the
indoor unit. (Fig. 3)
• Insert not sharp-edged tools such as screw-
drivers into the hole at the end of the cap
and insert the cap fully into the drain pan.
5) Insert the drain hose fully into the drain pan at
the rear right of the indoor unit. (Fig. 4)
• Check if the hose is hooked securely to the
projection of its inserting part at the drain
pan.
6) Insert the drain hose into wall hole sleeve (C),
and hook the upper part of indoor unit on instal-
lation plate (1). Then, move the indoor unit
completely to the left in order to make placing
the piping in the back space of the unit easier.
7) Cut out a piece of cardboard from the shipping
box, roll it up, hook it onto the back rib, and use
it as a spacer to lift the indoor unit. (Fig. 5)
8) Connect the refrigerant piping with the extension
pipe (B).
9) Thrust the lower part of the indoor unit into the
installation plate (1).
