MHI cassette offers motion sensor option

EUROPE: Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Air Conditioning Europe (MHIAE) is expanding its FDT range with the introduction of a new FDT ceiling cassette unit. 

This latest model is said to offer improved performance, together with automatic anti-draft control and motion sensor options to optimise air flow for maximum comfort and energy efficiency.

The unit’s energy efficiency has been enhanced with the integration of a newly designed impeller and flow path to optimise its aerodynamic performance. 

Additionally, the use of a denser heat exchanger with smaller copper piping is said to further improves the overall performance of the FDT.

Equipped with an optional corner-mounted motion sensor, the new FDT model detects human presence and activity within the room. A new automatic anti-draft control function provides optimal airflow from each outlet based on occupant location. When increased activity is detected, the air conditioning system adjusts its performance accordingly. 

Temperature settings are  automatically changed based on activity levels, entering standby mode when no movement is detected. To further conserve energy, the system shuts off entirely after 12 hours of inactivity.

A draft prevention panel allows precise adjustment of each of the four flaps in any operational mode for customised airflow management. 

Using a remote-control, users can adjust the flap positions quickly and easily.

With an optional control module, the new FDT unit now offers wireless connectivity, enabling users to manage and monitor their system through the Smart M-Air app on a smartphone or tablet. Users can also set notifications for reminders, such as turning off the air conditioner if left running. Whether heading to the office or running errands, users can pre-cool their space for a comfortable return—or, if forgotten, switch it off remotely from anywhere. 

The FDT unit is available throughout Europe via MHIAE’s network of distributors.
