DESIGN INFORMATION
AS SUPPLIED the air curtain operates on a 1 phase electrical supply (1L+N+E) from a local
switched spur which provides power for fans and controls. There is an integral defrost
cycle auxiliary heater located inside the air curtain but this is ‘disabled’ as supplied. If the
defrost cycle auxiliary heater is required the air curtain will then need a 3 phase electrical
supply (3L+N+E) from a local switched spur, instead of the 1 phase electrical supply, to
provide power for the heater as well which will need to be ‘enabled’ on site during
commissioning, see also notes on Page 6 and Section 'Installation - Electrical Supply and
Wiring to the Air Curtain', Page 14. There is also a communications link with the Mr Slim
outdoor unit via connections S2 and S3 (S1 is not used).
AS SUPPLIED the air curtain is set up for energy saving Weather Compensation Control
or Discharge Air Temperature Control and is used with a Mitsubishi Electric PAR-W21
MAA Remote Controller. The following functions are available:-
On/Off control of the Mitsubishi Electric heat pump system
Mode change between Heating mode and Fan only mode (Cooling mode not
available)
Energy saving weather compensation control or discharge air temperature control via
a set target temperature.
Signal for when the outdoor unit is in defrost mode so the defrost cycle auxiliary heater
(if enabled) can provide partial heat back-up during the few minutes of defrost.
Error signal for if the Mitsubishi Electric heat pump system has a problem
Weather Compensation Control (HEATING ECO): This looks at the outside air
temperature using an air sensor on the Mitsubishi Electric outdoor unit and automatically
adjusts the temperature of the air curtain discharge air in accordance with a heating curve.
It will select a warmer discharge air stream if it is cold outside and a cooler discharge air
stream if it is not so cold outside, as the discharge air does not need to be as warm. This
achieves significant energy and carbon savings because the heat pump compressor only
works at the capacity it needs to. Figure 1 shows a typical heating curve set up for weather
compensation control, temperature points 1, 2, 3 and 4 are selected during
commissioning.
Discharge Air Temperature Control (HEATING): The end user sets a target temperature
of, say 35°C, the air curtain then controls the temperature of the discharge air so it will stay
at 35°C even if the inlet air temperature changes.

The air curtain can also be set up on site during commissioning to operate under Inlet Air
Temperature Control or Room Air Temperature Control and is then used with a
Mitsubishi Electric PAR-30 MAA Remote Controller. The following functions are available:-
On/Off control of the Mitsubishi Electric heat pump system
Mode change between Heating mode and Fan only mode, with Cooling mode also
available if enabled during commissioning and with a condensate disposal system
Capacity control of the Mitsubishi Electric heat pump system
Temperature monitoring of the inlet air entering the heat pump air curtain, or the room
air temperature at the remote controller
Signal for when the outdoor unit is in defrost mode so the defrost cycle auxiliary heater
(if enabled) can provide partial heat back-up during the few minutes of defrost.
Error signal for if the Mitsubishi Electric heat pump system has a problem
Refer to a Mitsubishi Electric agent if the air curtain is to be controlled via a Building
Management System (BMS) or Centralised Controller.
It should be noted that during heating mode, if the outdoor unit goes into its defrost cycle
during cold weather, the air curtain fans will continue to operate to maintain the all-
important air stream across the doorway. It is this air stream, particularly towards the top of
the doorway, which is so effective at stopping buoyant warm air from inside the building
escaping to outside and wasting energy and also in reducing airborne contamination.
The temperature of the discharge air can be low during the 6 to 7 minute defrost cycle
period that may occur every few hours under particular outdoor weather conditions but this
has rarely become an issue with the end user and is really only a perceived problem.
There is a defrost cycle auxiliary heater fitted in the air curtain which is disabled when the
air curtain is delivered. If there are concerns for a particular installation this defrost cycle
auxiliary heater can be enabled during site commissioning and this will maintain the
discharge air at a higher temperature during the defrost cycle. A 3-phase electrical supply
is then required to power the air curtain.
Point of Information: If used, an auxiliary defrost heater may seem counter-productive for
a heat pump system. When put into context, however, the auxiliary heater fitted is of low
output for the size of the air curtain, it will just temper the discharge air and is only used for
a few minutes a day during a small period of the year. Tests at the Building Research
Establishment (BRE) test house on the heat pump air curtain system showed that even
with the auxiliary heater cutting in during defrost, as it has to during their EN14511
performance test, the annual seasonal COP was hardly affected.
Cooling is possible if the air curtain is modified during commissioning to operate under
Inlet Air Temperature Control or Room Air Temperature Control. It will not operate in
cooling if set-up to operate under Weather Compensation Control or Discharge Air
Temperature Control, which is how the air curtain is supplied.
The air curtain is supplied with its cooling mode disabled, although an integral condensate
drain tray is fitted inside the air curtain so it could be used in cooling mode during warm
weather, if so desired. This should be decided at the design stage as a condensate drain
system will need to be installed if cooling is required and extended to a suitable drain by
the installer. The condensate can be drained by gravity by connecting suitable condensate
hose onto the 15mm drain pipe on the condensate drain tray inside the air curtain. If a
gravity condensate drain is not visually suitable it will be necessary to remove condensate
using a condensate pump, supplied and fitted by the installer. The condensate pump can

T9901085-1-3 UK Page 7 of 38
be located inside the right hand end of the air curtain or in a remote location outside of the
unit if required. It must be of sufficient capacity, see Page 19, self priming and capable of
providing the appropriate suction head so the pump will lift condensate out of the air
curtain, particularly if it is in a remote location. There are two hole penetrations at the right
hand end of the air curtain for condensate pipework to pass through, see Figure 2, Page
11. Suitable condensate pumps are Peristaltic or Rotary Diaphragm type. We recommend
the Blue Diamond rotary diaphragm type with cooling signal sensor (drainStik)
manufactured by Charles Austen Pumps Ltd. (www.miniblue.co.uk).
If using a condensate pump it is recommended that it has the facility so it only operates
when the air curtain is in cooling mode by detection of water in the drain tray or by
detecting a cooling differential in the airflow. It should also have a pump overrun feature to
empty the drain tray as much as possible when the air curtain is switched off. It should
have an alarm system with appropriate sensor fitted in the drain tray that will give a volt-
free signal (closed circuit = alarm) and stop the air curtain cooling if the condensate drain
tray is in danger of flooding (air curtain fans will continue to operate). There is a fixing
bracket with 8mm diameter hole attached to the drain tray inside the air curtain so a
condensate sensor can be fixed in the tray by the installer. The hole can be enlarged, if
necessary, to suit the type of sensor used so it is located in the tray at the appropriate
position, see the manufacturer’s instructions that come with the condensate pump for
further information. A 230V AC, single phase electrical supply is provided inside the air
curtain to power a condensate pump and a condensate alarm connection is provided for
the condensate pump alarm circuit.
Warning: The air curtain condensate collection system is designed to remove condensate
with the air curtain operating in cooling mode during normal summer weather conditions in
countries with a temperate climate. In case of extreme weather conditions, drain tray
blockage or condensate pump failure, which can occur, it is vital that the design of the floor
beneath the air curtain and its surface is such that it will not become slippery or damaged if
it became wet. This is similar to the conditions that might be experienced with heavy
rainfall in at an open doorway or wet pedestrian foot traffic, so careful consideration must
be paid to the design of the floor and its surface finish.
If it is intended that the air curtain should not operate in cooling mode (which is how the air
curtain is supplied) and a condensate drain system is not fitted, it is still recommended that
the floor design and surface be as described above, in case cooling mode is used in the
future and also to cope with heavy rainfall or wet pedestrian foot traffic.
The air curtain is designed only for use with a Mitsubishi Electric Mr Slim Outdoor Unit for
use on R410A. The complete Thermoscreens air curtain / Mitsubishi Electric heat pump
system, including refrigerant pipework, wiring, controls, etc. must be installed only by an
approved Mitsubishi Electric refrigeration contractor.
Persons using the air curtain must be given adequate instruction and supervision
concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. The air
curtain is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities.
These instructions must be read in conjunction with the separate Mitsubishi Electric
instructions that come with the Mr Slim Outdoor Unit. All instructions should be kept by the
building facilities manager for future reference.

INSTALLATION OF THE AIR CURTAIN
The air curtain is designed to be surface mounted inside a building and located
horizontally over a doorway. It must not be installed on the outside of the building,
or built into a cabinet or recessed in anyway.
Location
The air curtain must be mounted so the discharge grille is
located up to 3.2m maximum above floor level and as
close to the doorway as possible. It must be installed level
or condensate may leak out if used for cooling. It is
recommended to leave a gap of 250mm minimum above
the air curtain to allow for pipework brazing operations.
Beware of doorway top edges, structural beams, door
opening/closure devices, etc. which may interfere with the
air stream and affect the location of the unit.
Wall Fixing
Bolt all of the wall brackets supplied to the rear face of the
unit as shown in the adjacent picture using the M10 bolts
supplied. Suitable wall fixing bolts (not supplied) need to
be used to fix the brackets to the wall, taking into account
the type of wall and the weight of the unit*, see table:
Air Curtain Weight (kg)
HP1000 DXE 46
HP1500 DXE 67
HP2000 DXE 84
Step 1. Refer to Figure 2, Page 11 for mounting details
and drill the fixing points in the wall.
Step 2. Screw in the top wall bolts leaving a small gap between the head and the wall.
Lower the unit onto the bolts via the key-hole slots in the top of the wall brackets and then
screw in the bottom wall bolts.
Step 3. Ensure all fixing bolts are tightened and the air curtain is safely secured to the
wall.
Ceiling Suspension
M10 threaded inserts are provided in the top face of the
unit (see Figure 2, Page 11 for positions) so it can be
suspended on M10 threaded hanging rods (not provided).
All suspension points 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 above)*. Screw
the hanging rods into the inserts by a minimum or 20mm
and fit locking nuts (not provided) to prevent the rod
rotating and coming away from the casing. Do not screw
the hanging rod too far in or it could interfere with internal
components.
*It is the sole responsibility of the installer to ensure that the building fixing locations and suspension system
used are suitable for the air curtain being installed.

35/27 db/wb ºC for cooling output.
Performance figures derived from independent testing by UK test houses BRE and BSRIA in accordance with
test standard EN14511. Noise testing carried out at Sound Research Laboratories to ISO3741 and BS4856-4.
See Table on Page 23 for more details of air volume flow rates and noise levels.
* Alternative larger outdoor unit will give enhanced heat output for difficult doorway situations - not
recommended, however, for weather compensation control or discharge air temperature control.
Refrigerant Pipework
This must be carried out before connection of any electrical and controls cables
and in accordance with the Instructions that come with the Mitsubishi Electric
Outdoor Unit. This work must only be undertaken by a Mitsubishi Electric
approved Contractor.
Contact Mitsubishi Electric for recommended pipework sizes, pipework lengths,
numbers of fittings, etc.
The installation must be carried out in accordance with the Mitsubishi Electric
Installation Manual that comes with the outdoor unit.
It is intended that refrigerant pipe connections to the air curtain are made using brazed
joints and these must be carried out in a professional and safe manner. If installation
pipe sizes for the discharge (gas) line and liquid line are different from the pipe
connection sizes on the air curtain (see Figure 2, Page 11) suitable pipe reducers must
be used for the connection. R410A refrigerant systems can operate at pressures up to
610 psi (c. 42 Bar). These brazed joints may well be located in a public area and a
weakness leading to an explosion could be extremely dangerous.
The air curtain with its coil is manufactured in accordance with the Pressure Equipment
Directive (PED) and the installation must be carried out to a good standard of
workmanship. Remove the protective plastic film on top of the air curtain before starting
work and protect the top surface of the air curtain. Use a heat sink on the copper pipes
during brazing to reduce the transfer of heat to the inside of the air curtain where
sensitive components are located.

To gain access inside the Air Curtain
To gain access for connection of the electrical supply, controls wiring
and to work on the unit during commissioning, remove the air inlet
grilles and the bottom access panel.
First remove the plastic end caps at each end of the unit, if already
fitted, by pulling off to the side (see picture).
Then remove each inlet grille in turn with its filter by unfastening
the quarter-turn Philips Head fastener at the bottom corner of the
grille. Use a Philips No.1 screwdriver to access the screw via the
elongated hole at the bottom corner of each grille and turn anti-
clockwise to remove (see picture).
To remove the bottom access panel unfasten the access panel
securing screws, one at each end, plus two in the centre
(HP1500 DXE and HP2000 DXE units) and slide the panel out
forwards (see picture).
Please note: All the panels of the air curtain are covered in a protective plastic film
which should now be removed.

T9901085-1-3 UK Page 14 of 38
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. (see also Wiring Diagrams 1 & 2 on Page 16/17)
A local isolator having a contact separation of at least 3mm on all poles must be
fitted in the 1 phase electrical supply (1L + N + E) to the air curtain and located in
an accessible position adjacent to the unit.
Do not have a switch or isolator in the S2, S3 (Comms Link), use continuous wire.
If the defrost cycle auxiliary heater is to be used the air curtain then requires a 3
phase electrical supply (3L + N + E) to the air curtain instead of a 1 phase
electrical supply. A local isolator having a contact separation of at least 3mm on all
poles must be fitted in the 3 phase electrical supply and located in an accessible
position adjacent to the unit. The defrost cycle auxiliary heater will need to be
enabled during commissioning (see Section ‘Design Information’ – Page 5 and
Section ‘Commissioning’ Page 20).
The appliance must be connected using cables having an appropriate temperature
rating (heat resistant).
Ensure that the supply cables, circuit breakers and other electrical installation
equipment are correctly sized for the air curtain being installed. See Table below.
A 25mm size cable gland or conduit connector should be used for the Electrical
Supply into the air curtain. See Figure 2, Page 11 showing where the electrical
supply enters the unit.
This appliance must be Earthed.

Wiring of Air Curtain Fan Speed
As delivered the air curtain is link wired to operate on a single fan
speed at its medium speed, see picture opposite. Current thinking
for air curtain technology, however, is to have a Door-Switch wired
to switch the unit between a Higher fan speed - Door Open and a
Lower fan speed - Door Closed. This is both energy efficient and
noise friendly. Alternatively a single fan speed, High, Medium or
Low, can be set at commissioning to suit the general weather
conditions of the site. Both methods prevent the end user
switching fan speeds and maybe leaving the air curtain on an
unsuitable setting.
If the end user does require remote fan
speed switching, however, there is a wall
mounted 3-speed fan switch supplied with
the air curtain which can be fitted next to the
Mitsubishi Electric PAR-W21MAA or PAR-
30MAA Remote Controller. The end user
can then remotely select High, Medium or Low fan speeds if they choose to.
A door switch, wire link for single speed or the 3-speed fan switch is wired to terminals
FAN, HIGH, MED and LOW in the Air Curtain using 230V mains rated double insulated
cable of size 0.75mm2. See also Wiring Diagram 1 or 2 on Pages 16 and 17 and Section,
Commissioning; ‘Selecting the fan speeds of the air curtain’ on page 22 which gives details
as to how the available speeds of the six speed fan motor(s) can be set to suit outdoor
environmental conditions and indoor noise levels.
Condensate Disposal System
Cooling is only possible if the air curtain is modified during commissioning to operate
under Inlet Air Temperature Control or Room Air Temperature Control. It will not
operate in cooling if set-up to operate under Weather Compensation Control or
Discharge Air Temperature Control, which is how the air curtain is supplied.
If it is intended to use the air curtain in cooling mode the plug must be removed from CNX5
on the PAC-IF010 Interface PCB (see Wiring Diagrams 1 & 2 on Pages 16 and 17) and a
condensate disposal system must be installed.
The air curtain is fitted with a condensate drain tray with 15mm
copper outlet pipe at the right hand side of the air curtain.
Suitable condensate hose can be fitted to the pipe (see picture)
and fed through a 20mm hole at the back of the unit, see
Figure 2, Page 11, so condensate will gravity drain away.
Means of condensate disposal must then be provided at the
rear of the air curtain.
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; self priming and capable of providing the
appropriate suction head so the pump will lift condensate out from the top of the air
curtain. Suitable condensate pumps with a suction head are Peristaltic or Rotary

T9901085-1-3 UK Page 19 of 38
Diaphragm type. It is recommended that the condensate pump has the facility so it only
operates when the air curtain is in cooling mode by detection of water in the drain tray or
by detecting a cooling differential in the airflow. It should also have a pump overrun to
empty the drain tray as much as possible when the air curtain is switched off. We
recommend the Blue Diamond rotary diaphragm type with cooling signal sensor (drainStik)
manufactured by Charles Austen Pumps Ltd. (www.miniblue.co.uk).

There is space inside the air curtain at the right hand end of the unit to mount a
condensate pump. A permanent 230V AC, single phase electrical supply is provided inside
the air curtain at the DIN-Rail terminals to power the pump. See Wiring Diagrams 1 & 2 on
Pages 16 and 17. There are two 20mm condensate outlet holes in the casing, one at the
top of the unit and a lower one at the rear, both fitted with rubber plugs (see Figure 2,
Page 11). These can be used to feed a hose from the condensate pump to a remote
condensate drain.
Condensate drain hose should be pushed through either of the two condensate outlet
holes after removing the plug and connected to the condensate pump using the adapter
supplied with the pump. It may be necessary to extend the hose if the pump is remotely
located.
Whether a gravity drain system or a condensate pump is used to remove the condensate
there should be an alarm system with appropriate sensor fitted in the drain tray that will
give a volt-free signal (closed circuit = alarm). A 2-wire condensate alarm signal should be
wired back to the condensate alarm connection provided at the Interface PCB inside the
air curtain. This will stop the air curtain cooling if the condensate drain tray is in danger of
flooding, bringing up an error code on the Mitsubishi Electric system (air curtain fans will
continue to operate).
There is a fixing bracket with 8mm diameter hole attached to
the drain tray inside the air curtain so a condensate alarm
sensor can be fixed in the tray by the installer. Hinge the drain
tray down to gain better access to the fixing bracket (see
picture and Section, Servicing – Page 33). Enlarge the hole if
necessary to suit the type of sensor being used so it is located
in the tray at the appropriate position. If a condensate pump is
being used see the manufacturers instructions that come with
the pump for further information.

T9901085-1-3 UK Page 20 of 38
COMMISSIONING THE AIR CURTAIN
Ensure that the electrical supply to the Mitsubishi Electric Outdoor Unit and, if
applicable, the 3-phase local electrical supply to the Air Curtain, are switched off.
Air Curtain Checks
Check that the components inside the air curtain are as shown in the picture below. If
the defrost cycle auxiliary heater has been enabled check that the thermal overheat cut-
out switch(s) has not ‘tripped’. Press the reset button at the top of the unit (2 on a
HP2000 DXE unit). If the cut-out switch has tripped it will click back on – see picture
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 Outdoor Unit and the Air Curtain Indoor Unit. It is held in place by a
fixing screw located in the left-hand end panel of the air curtain under the left-hand
plastic end cap. Remove the screw and carefully slide the PCB partially out. For easier
withdrawal of the PCB the filter indicator connection may be temporarily removed.
