2. Installation of DPLS2

Drain Pan Level Sensor/Control:

(To ensure proper performance of product, instructions must be followed.)

Disconnect (and lock-out, if required) all power to the M-Series, P-Series, S-Series or CITY MULTI Indoor Unit at the Disconnect Switch (if installed) or at the main disconnect panel serving the indoor and/or outdoor unit.

Connect DPLS2 Splice Connector to the selected mating Wire Harness Connector – see wiring harness selection (Table 1). Connect the Control Box’s Splice Connector to the mating connector on the Wire Harness (Fig 1).

Fig 1 Fig 2: Typical indoor unit with cover removed

Typical Installation - example: Wall Mount Indoor Unit – MS/MSY/MSZ/PKA/PKFY:

Remove front cover of indoor unit in order to expose the coil and the control circuit area of the unit (Fig 2).

The disassemblyof the front cover, air lters, and possibly electrical shields will vary according to style of

indoor unit installed. See the Mitsubishi Electric’s Technical Manual for detailed disassembly and details.

Locate the corresponding connector (see Table 1) on the printed control circuit board and, remove the connector of the thermistor (Fig 4). Plug female connector of the Wire Harness into the printed circuit board, and plug the male connector on the opposite end into the thermistor connector (Fig 5).

Fig 3 Fig 4 Fig 5 Fig 6

Connect black/red power input wire to indoor unit power supply terminal (S1, S2).

Determine the best location for the DPLS2 Control Box (above the drain pan and outside of the main airow):

Using the double-sided adhesive pad, mount the Control Box in a location inside the indoor unit that will allow clearance for the cover to be reassembled (Fig 6).

Reassemble all covers that were removed during the installation.

Test the DPLS2: Reconnect power to the indoor unit. Use extreme caution, beware of high voltage on the indoor unit during testing. Turn unit on and set cooling thermostat to lowest temperature setting. Make sure to restore power to the outdoor unit before performing the test in step 7.

Adjustment

Fig 7 Fig 8 Fig 9 Fig 10

Using a clip lead or other metallic object, carefully make a connection between the two pins on the Micro Sensor (Fig 7). Indoor unit should shut down after a 5-10 second delay.

Disconnect indoor unit power before proceeding to the next step.

Determine the best location for the DPLS2 Micro Sensor. Make sure that power has been disconnected.

Find the drain pan below the coil in the indoor unit. It is located directly below the aluminum ns of the coil

and is slightly wider than the coil depending on the style of indoor unit.

10.

Wipe all water, dirt and dust from the drain pan with a damp cloth. Temporarily locate the Micro Sensor in the drain pan.

11.

Slide pan clip with sensor onto the front edge of the drain pan (Fig 8). Push the sensor down into the pan to a position where the two sensing tips remain above the condensate level in normal operation, ensure the Micro Sensor touches the bottom of the trough and the panel clips are pushed all the way down on the front edge of the trough (Fig 9).

(These installation instructions are typical for all wall mounted, oor standing, ceiling recessed, and ceiling

concealed, and ceiling suspended units. Location of the micro sensor should at the drain pan no less than 3/8” from the bottom.)

12.

If there is no place for pan clip attach the sensor to the coil clip (there are two optional coil clips: 7mm and 5mm).

Clip the coil clip onto the evaporator coil. Insert the coil clip between tins or at the coil U-bend. Position the wires up and senor pins down. Adjust sensor height by moving the vertical member (with sensor attached) up and down. Sensor pins should be coated above normal condensate level, while below the condensate

overow level. (Fig 10)

13.

Temporarily reassemble the front cover of the indoor unit to make sure that it reattaches properly. If there is interference with the front cover, relocate the Micro Sensor on the drain pan and recheck clearances.

14.

Once the best location has been determined, remove the double-sided tape on the Micro Sensor and reinstall it in the same manner as described above. Ensure the Micro Sensor does not touch the bottom of the drain pan and the panel clips are pushed all the way down on the front edge of the trough (Fig 9).

15.

Bundle and tie wrap excess wire. Locate and anchor the excess wire bundles so that they do not interfere with the reassembly of the cover of the Indoor Unit.

16.

Reassemble the Indoor Unit cover.

17.

Turn power on to Indoor Unit and Outdoor Unit.
