Installing The Ftc4 Unit - Mitsubishi Electric PAC-IF051B-E Installation Manual

1. Safety precautions
1.4 Before starting the test run
Caution:
• Turn on the main power switch of the outdoor unit more than 12 hours
before starting operation. Starting operation immediately after turning on
the power switch can severely damage the internal parts. Keep the main
power switch turned on during the operation period.
• In heating mode, to avoid the heat emitters being damaged by excessively
hot water, set the target flow temperature to a minimum of 2ºC below the
maximum allowable temperature of all the heat emitters. For Zone2, set the
target flow temperature to a minimum of 5ºC below the maximum allowable
flow temperature of all the heat emitters in Zone2 circuit.
1.5 Electric booster and immersion heaters
Warning:
• FTC4 has signal outputs for heaters however it can not isolate power to
them in the event of overheating. All electrical heaters used on the water
circuit must have

• Before starting operation, check that all protective parts are correctly in-
stalled. Make sure not to get injured by touching high voltage parts.
• Do not touch any switch with wet hands. There may be a risk to get an
electric shock.
• After stopping operation, make sure to wait at least 5 minutes before turn-
ing off the main power. Otherwise, it may cause breakdown.
a) A thermostat to prevent overheating.
b) A non-self resetting thermal mechanism to prevent overheating.
