Mitsubishi Electronics PFD-P250500VM-A operation manual Failure Display Lamps, Smart way to use

3.6.Selecting Normal and Local Operation

Selecting Local operation

Set the Normal/Local switch C to local.

Start and stop is only possible with the remote controller (remote ON/OFF input disabled) when Local is selected, and faults occurring during checks are not dis- played with remote output.

3.7.Fault Reset

Reset when a fault display lamp is lit

Press the ON/OFF button B.

•Remote ON/OFF input and ON/OFF from the central controller (optional) are disabled in the Local operation mode.

•See the central controller users manual for details of ON/OFF from the central controller (optional) and input of temperature settings.

•Selecting ON/OFF from the remote controller requires a few seconds. This is not a fault.

•Following reset after a power failure, the unit begins operation again au- tomatically, and ‘HO’ appears on the MA remote controller display after an interval of approximately 15 seconds. The MA remote controller can- not be used during this interval. Turn power OFF with the earth leakage breaker to stop the unit in an emergency.

The unit stops and the fault is reset.

*When repairs by the retailer or a specialist technician are complete, ensure that the unit is safe, and reset. The customer should not engage in repairs.

Caution:

•The unit cannot be stopped in the Normal mode. Select the Local opera- tion mode and press the switch on the remote controller. Note that if the SW 1 - 10 on the indoor unit control board are ON (ie remote ON/OFF input not used) ON/OFF is also possible from the remote controller in the Normal mode.

5. Control of Indoor Unit Inlet or Outlet Temperature

Either of the above methods of temperature control may be selected with this model.	[Fig. A] (P.4)
The method of control is selected with the switch SWC on the address board in-	A Address board	B Control board

When the unit is shipped from the factory it is set to outlet temperature control
	E Standard: Outlet temperature control
(SWC set to ‘Standard’).
Change the method of control by setting SWC on the address board inside the
controller as follows.
Inlet temperature control: Set to “Option”.
Outlet temperature control: Set to “Standard”.

6. The smart way to use

Even minimal steps to care for your unit can help make its use far more effective in terms of air-conditioning effect, electricity charges, etc.

Clean the filter thoroughly

•If the screen of the air filter becomes clogged, the airflow and air-conditioning effect can be significantly reduced.

Further, if the condition is left unattended, failure can result. It is particularly important to clean the filter at the beginning of the cooling and heating sea- sons. (When profuse dust and dirt have accumulated, clean the filter thor- oughly.)

Prevent intrusion of heat during air-cooling

•To prevent the intrusion of heat during cooling operation, provide a curtain or a blind on the window to block out direct sunlight. Also, do not open the entrance or exit except in cases of dire necessity.

Carry out ventilation sometimes

•Since the air periodically gets dirty in a room that is kept closed for a long time, ventilation is sometimes necessary. When gas appliances are used together with the unit, special precautions must be taken. If the “LOSSNAY” ventilation unit developed by our company is used, you can perform ventilation with less waste. For details on this unit, consult with your dealer.

7. Caring for the unit

Always have filter maintenance performed by a service person. Before care-taking, turn the power supply OFF.

Caution:

•Before you start cleaning, stop operation and turn OFF the power supply. Remember that the fan is rotating inside at high speed, posing a serious risk of injury.

•Indoor units are equipped with filters to remove the dust of sucked-in air. Clean the filters using the methods shown in the following sketches. (The standard filter should normally be cleaned once a week, and the long-life filter at the beginning of each season.)

•The life of the filter depends on where the unit is installed and how it is operated.

How to clean

•Clear dust away lightly or clean it up with a vacuum cleaner. In the case of severe staining, wash the filter in lukewarm water mixed with dissolved neutral detergent or water, and then rinse off the detergent completely. After washing, dry it and fix it back into place.

Caution:

•Do not dry the filter by exposing it to direct sunlight or warming it using fire, etc. Doing so can result in the deformation of the filter.

•Washing it in hot water (more than 50 °C) can also result in deformation.

Caution:

Never pour water or flammable sprays onto the unit. Cleaning using these methods can result in the failure of the unit, electric shock, or fire.
