10 SPECIAL FUNCTION

10-1. Rotation Function (and back-up function, 2nd stage cut-in function)

This function is only available when using wired remote controller.

10-1-1. Operation

(1)Rotation function (and Back-up function) Outline of functions

Main and sub units operate alternately according to the interval of rotation setting.

wMain and sub unit should be set by refrigerant address. (Outdoor Dip switch setting)

Refrigerant address "00" Main unit

Refrigerant address "01" Sub unit

• When error occurs to one unit, another unit will start operation. (Back-up function)

System constraint

This function is available only by the grouping control system (INDOOR UNIT: OUTDOOR UNIT=1:1) of 2 refrigerant groups. (Refer to Fig. 1)

Main indoor unit should be connected for wired remote controller and the transmission line (TB5) for main and sub unit should also be connected. (Refer to Fig. 1)

(This function cannot be set by wireless remote controller.)

Set refrigerant address of each unit. (Dip switch on the outdoor unit ··· Refrigerant address 00/01)

(Ex:When the request code number is "313", each unit operates alternately in daily cycle.)

OC : Outdoor unit

IC : Indoor unit

RC : Wired remote controller

Note:

When the unit is restarted to operate after turning off the power or OFF operation, the unit which was operating will start oper- ation.

To operate the main unit, refer to the 10-1-2. and set the request code No. which is not the same as the current one, and set again the former request code No.

(2)2nd stage cut-in function Outline of functions

When the 1st unit can NOT supply with sufficient capacity for exceptionally high-demand conditions and the actual room temperature reaches set point *, the 2nd unit starts operation in conjunction with the 1st unit.

Once the actual room temperature goes down to 4 degrees C (7.5 degrees F) below set point*, the 2nd unit stops operation automatically.

(* set point = set temperature by R/C (remote controller) + 4, 6, 8:(7.5, 10.8, 14.4°F) (selectable))

Number of operating units is determined according to the room temperature and set point.

When room temperature becomes higher than set point, standby unit starts. (2 units operation)

When room temperature falls below set point -4:(-7.5°F), standby unit stops. (1 unit operation)

PKA-A36KA4.TH, PKA-A30KA4.TH, PKA-A24KA4.TH specifications

Mitsubishi Electronics introduces its PKA series of commercial air conditioners, comprising models PKA-A24KA4.TH, PKA-A30KA4.TH, and PKA-A36KA4.TH. These units are designed to meet the growing demand for energy-efficient and reliable climate control solutions in commercial spaces. Each model in the series is equipped with advanced features that set them apart in the competitive air conditioning market.

One of the main features of the PKA series is the innovative inverter technology. This technology enables the air conditioning units to adjust their cooling or heating output according to the indoor temperature, leading to significant energy savings. By operating at varying speeds rather than a constant rate, the inverter system provides a more consistent and comfortable environment while reducing energy consumption by up to 30% compared to traditional fixed-speed systems.

Another standout characteristic of the PKA-A24KA4.TH, PKA-A30KA4.TH, and PKA-A36KA4.TH models is their compact design. These units are designed for easy installation in various commercial settings while taking up minimal space. This is particularly beneficial for businesses looking to optimize their floor space without compromising climate control efficiency.

The PKA series features advanced filtration technology, including a highly efficient air purification system. This enhances indoor air quality by removing dust, allergens, and other airborne pollutants, creating a healthier environment for occupants. The inclusion of a self-cleaning function also contributes to maintenance ease, as the unit automatically cleans the heat exchanger, preventing dust buildup and ensuring efficient operation.

Mitsubishi's commitment to whisper-quiet operation is another critical feature of these models. They are engineered to operate at sound levels as low as 19 dB(A), making them ideal for environments where noise control is essential, such as offices, hotels, or healthcare facilities.

Moreover, the PKA series is compatible with Mitsubishi's sophisticated control systems, allowing users to manage their air conditioning remotely via smartphone or tablet. This level of control enhances user convenience and maximizes system efficiency by enabling real-time adjustments based on occupancy and other factors.

Overall, the Mitsubishi Electronics PKA-A24KA4.TH, PKA-A30KA4.TH, and PKA-A36KA4.TH units represent a perfect blend of modern technology and user-centric design, providing businesses with effective, efficient, and quiet climate control solutions. With their advanced features, energy-saving capabilities, and emphasis on air quality, these models stand out as premier choices for managing environmental comfort in commercial applications.
