6. All wiring must be properly arranged to ensure that the control board cover can close properly. If the control board cover is not properly closed, it can lead to corrosion and cause the connection points on the terminal to heat up, catch fire, or cause electrical shock.

The unit’s circuit board (PCB) is designed with a fuse to provide over-current protection. This fuse must be replaced with an identical component if the existing fuse is blown.

The specifications of the fuse are printed on the circuit board, examples of such are T5A/250VAC and T10A/250VAC.

The allowed static pressure range of the air conditioner on site is 0.00-0.80 in H2O (0-200 Pa). The data below represents the static pressures at the full required airflow used for AHRI testing.

NOTE: The maximum functional total external static pressure cannot exceed 0.80 in WC (200 Pa). The airflow reduces significantly with pressures above and beyond 0.80 in WC (200 Pa). The system design should allow for the increased resistance of filters as they become dirty.

The following accessories and parts are included with your MRCOOL VERSA PRO MVP-24-HP-MUAH-230-25. Use all installation parts and accessories to properly install the system.

NOTE: The wired system control functions as an IR receiver for the handheld remote. If the remote is not used, it must be retained with the indoor unit to adjust parameters, and for troubleshooting.

Included Optional Accessories:

Do not install the indoor unit of your MRCOOL VERSA PRO MVP-24-HP-MUAH-230-25 in any of the following locations:

• Areas where oil drilling or fracking is being performed.

• Coastal areas with high salt content in the air.

• Areas with caustic gases in the air, such as near laundry vents.

• Areas with strong electromagnetic waves.

• Areas where flammable materials or gas are stored.

• Rooms with high humidity, such as bathrooms or laundry rooms.

• Areas where the air inlet and outlet may be obstructed.

The indoor unit of the MRCOOL VERSA PRO MVP-24-HP-MUAH-230-25 should be installed in a location that meets the following requirements:

✓ Enough room for the installation and maintenance to be performed.

✓ Enough room for the refrigerant piping and drain pipe.

✓ On a structure that can support its weight. If the structure is too weak, the unit may fall and cause personal injury, unit and property damage, or death.

✓ At least 18 inches (46 cm) above the floor for a garage installation. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, explosion, or fire.

✓ If suspended, the structure must support the weight of the unit.

✓ The ceiling is horizontal and its structure can sustain the weight of the indoor unit.

✓ The air inlet and outlet are not impeded.

✓ Room for properly sized return and supply ducts must be maintained.

✓ There is no direct radiation from heaters.

The dimensions and filter size requirements for the MRCOOL VERSA PRO MVP-24-HP-MUAH-230-25 are as follows:

Indoor Unit Dimensions (18K-24K Model Capacity)

Filter Dimensions (18K-24K Model Capacity)

Filter must meet the requirements of UL900.

CAUTION: Air outlet grille should be installed at the air outlet with the dimension between grille sheets less than 1 inch (25.4mm). The air outlet grille cannot be removed without tools.

• Air supply and return can be handled in one of several ways depending on which is best suited for the type of installation. The vast majority of problems encountered with combination cooling systems can be linked to improperly designed or installed ductwork. For this reason, it is highly important that the duct system be properly designed and installed.

• The use of flexible duct collars will minimize the transmission of vibration and noise into the conditioned space. In an installation where the return air duct is short, or where sound is likely to be a problem, a sound absorbing liner should be used inside the duct.

• Insulation of the ductwork is a requirement anywhere it runs through an uncooled space during the cooling season.

• The use of a vapor barrier is recommended to prevent absorption of moisture from the surrounding air into the insulation.

• The supply air duct should utilize a properly sized transition in order to match the unit opening.

• All ducts should be suspended using flexible hangers and never fastened directly to the structure. This unit is not designed for non-ducted (free-blow) applications.

• Ductwork should be fabricated and installed in accordance with local and/or national codes.

CAUTION:

• A field-fabricated secondary drain pan (not included), with a drain pipe to the outside of the building is required in all installations over a finished living space or in any area that may be damaged by overflow from the main drain pan. NOTE: A secondary drain pan is required for horizontal installations.

• This unit is not designed for non-ducted (free-blow) applications. Electric heat kit elements and/or blower is easily accessible without ductwork and creates a safety hazard that could result it electric shock and/or personal injury.

The MRCOOL VERSA PRO MVP-24-HP-MUAH-230-25 can be installed in a Vertical (downflow or upflow) or a Horizontal (right or left) configuration. Vertical Up and Horizontal Left installations do not require changing the direction of the evaporator. For Horizontal Right or Downflow configurations, follow these steps:

1. Remove the filter door, then remove the filter.

2. Remove the upper cover assembly.

3. Remove the evaporator cover plate. Remove the bottom cover first, then the second cover plate.

4. Identify the position of the evaporator’s temperature sensors. T1: Room Temperature Sensor, T2: Evaporator Central Sensor Plug, T2A: Evaporator Input Sensor Plug, T2B: Evaporator Output Sensor Plug.

5. Unplug temperature sensors T1 and T2 from the control board.

6. Remove T1 and T2 Sensor wire ties.

7. Take out the evaporator and drain pan and rotate 180° (when a vertical down configuration is needed).

8. Adjust the mounting parts positioning according to the direction of the unit.

9. Reinstall the evaporator and drain pan.

10. Reinstall T1, T2, T2A, and T2B sensor plugs and electronic expansion valve (EEV) and tie up the sensor wires. The evaporator is now assembled in place. This includes cutting the foam gasket, removing knockouts, routing the wire through the buckle and wire slot, and replacing the foam gasket over the wires. The wire body needs to pass through the wire groove from the drain pan and attach to the hook on the drain pan.

11. Use cable ties to attach the room temperature sensor as shown in the figure in the manual.

12. Reinstall the evaporator cover plate.

13. Connect the wire according to the wiring diagram.

14. Reassemble the upper cover and reinstall the filter and filter cover plate.

15. Connect the pipes and install drainage pipes.

For Upflow & Horizontal Left Configurations, the MRCOOL VERSA PRO MVP-24-HP-MUAH-230-25 operates with a negative pressure at the drain connections and a drain trap is required. The trap must be installed as close to the unit as possible. Make sure the top of the trap is below the connection to the drain pan to allow complete drainage of the pan.

NOTICE: Horizontal runs must also have an anti-siphon air vent (standpipe) installed ahead of the horizontal run to eliminate air trapping.

On units of this type in which the blower “draws” in air rather than “blows” air through the coil, traps must be installed in the condensate drain lines (primary and auxiliary, if used). Traps prevent the blower from drawing air through the drain lines into the air supply.

WARNING: After removing the drain pan plug(s), check the drain hole(s) to verify that the drain opening is fully clear and free of any debris. Also check to ensure no debris has fallen into the drain pan during installation that could plug the drain opening. Apply sealant around the exiting drain pipe and the liquid and suction lines to prevent the infiltration of humid air.

The maximum length and drop height for the refrigerant piping of the MRCOOL VERSA PRO MVP-24-HP-MUAH-230-25 are as follows:

CAUTION – OIL TRAPS: If oil flows back into the outdoor unit’s compressor, this may cause liquid compression or deterioration of the oil return. Oil traps in the rising gas pipe can prevent this.

• For units less than 36,000Btu/h, an oil trap should be installed every 6m (19.7ft) of vertical suction line riser.

• For units greater than 36,000Btu/h, an oil trap should be installed every 10m (32.8ft) of vertical suction line riser.

Follow these steps to connect the Quick-Connect lines to the indoor unit of your MRCOOL VERSA PRO MVP-24-HP-MUAH-230-25:

Step 1: When immediately ready to install the refrigerant line, remove the plastic seals/caps from the indoor unit and refrigerant line.
