Mitsubishi Electric P-Series Ceiling Cassette Air Conditioning System

Submittal Data: PLA-A42EA7 & PUY-A42NKA7(-BS)

42,000 BTU/H Ceiling-Cassette Air-Conditioning System

Brand: Mitsubishi Electric

Model Numbers: PLA-A42EA7 (Indoor Unit), PUY-A42NKA7 / PUY-A42NKA7-BS (Outdoor Unit)

Indoor Unit Features

  • Space-efficient ductless installation
  • Equipped with 3D i-see Sensor® for enhanced comfort and energy efficiency
  • Airflow settings for high and low ceiling applications
  • Individual vane settings for direct/indirect airflow control or variable airflow patterns
  • Knockouts for outside-air intake and branch-duct run
  • Filter indicator signal
  • Easy-to-clean, washable filter (optional high-efficiency filter available - requires multi-function casement)
  • Built-in condensate lift mechanism
  • Ideal for retail shops, classrooms, office spaces, conference centers, building lobbies, and more

Indoor Unit Dimensions & Installation Notes: The indoor unit (PLA-A42EA7) has approximate dimensions of 33-1/16" (840 mm) width, 33-1/16" (840 mm) depth, and 11-3/4" (298 mm) height. Installation requires adequate ceiling space, including clearance above the unit (e.g., a minimum of 1/4" or 7mm between the unit top and ceiling slab). Suspension bolts (M10 or W3/8) have a pitch of approximately 5-11/16 inches. The drain pipe should be VP-25 (1-1/4" O.D.) PVC tube, with a maximum condensate lift of 33-7/16" (850mm) from the ceiling. Proper insulation of branch ducts is recommended to prevent condensation. The electrical box is accessible for service purposes.

Outdoor Unit Features

  • Variable speed INVERTER-driven compressor
  • Power receiver pre-charged with refrigerant volume for piping length up to 100 ft (70 ft. for A12/18/24/30)
  • Low ambient cooling down to -40°F providing 100% capacity (only for PUY models with wind baffles installed)
  • 24-hour continuous operation (cooling mode)
  • High pressure protection
  • Fast restarts in cooling mode (15 seconds for 12/18/36/42; 50 seconds for 24/30)
  • Superior energy and operational efficiency

Outdoor Unit Dimensions & Installation Notes: The outdoor unit (PUY-A42NKA7/-BS) requires specific free space around it for proper airflow and maintenance, as well as dedicated service access space (minimum 150mm or approx. 6 inches on sides and rear). The unit must be secured with M10 or W3/8 foundation bolts. Piping and wiring connections can be made from four directions: front, right, rear, and below. Key pipe sizes are Gas Pipe O.D. 5/8" (15.88 mm) and Liquid Pipe O.D. 3/8" (9.52 mm). Knockout holes are provided for conduit connections, with specific sizes noted for different pipe and wiring access points.

*Wind baffles required to operate below 23°F DB in cooling mode. For PUY models, wind baffles can be utilized to extend the cooling operation range to -40F. Please refer to the wind baffle submittals to determine which baffles are required to meet the desired operation range.
**System cuts out in heating mode to avoid thermistor error and automatically restarts at these temperatures.
SEACOAST PROTECTION: External Outer Panel: Phosphate coating + Acrylic-Enamel coating; Fan Motor Support: Epoxy resin coating (at edge face); Separator Assembly; Valve Bed: Epoxy resin coating (at edge face); "Blue Fin" treatment is an anti-corrosion treatment that is applied to the condenser coil to protect it against airborne contaminants.
