This manual describes how to operate the centralized controller. Before using the controller, read the

1 Safety Precautions section carefully to ensure proper installation.

Safety precautions are provided for your protection and to prevent damage to the controller.

The safety precautions apply to all operators and service personnel.

Safety symbols used in this manual

The following symbols are used in this manual to indicate the type and severity of potential consequences that

may result when given instructions are not followed exactly as stated.

WARNING Indicates a risk of death or serious injury.

CAUTION Indicates a risk of injury or damage to the controller.

Retain the Installation Manual and the Instruction Book for future reference. Make sure both the Installation

Manual and the Instruction Book are given to any future air condition system users.

WARNING

The controller must be professionally

installed.

Improper installation by an unqualified person may

result in electric shock or fire.

sk your dealer or an authorized technician

to move the controller.

Improper installation may result in electric shock

or fire or damage to the controller.

Make sure the controller is securely

mounted so that it will not fall.

To avoid causing damage or fire, do not apply

an AC voltage or a voltage higher than 30

to the M-NET terminal blocks on the

controller.

Do not attempt to modify or repair the

controller.

Modification or improper repair may result in

electric shock or fire.

Consult your dealer when repairs are

necessary.

Never remove the cover during operation.

Touching the charged parts of the controller

may cause severe burns or other personal

injury.

If any abnormality is noticed (e.g., burning

smell), stop the operation, turn off the power

supply, and contact your dealer or technical

representative immediately.

Continuing the operation may result in damage to

the controller, electric shock, or fire.

Stop the operation immediately and notify

your dealer if an error code is displayed and

the controller does not operate, or when any

abnormality is noticed.

Continuing the operation may result in damage

to the controller or fire.

1 Safet

Precautions

Controllers must be disposed of properly.

Contact your dealer for proper disposal

rocedures.

CAUTION

IMPORTANT

Do not install the controller where there is a

risk of leaking flammable gas.

If the leaked gas accumulates around the

controller, it may ignite and cause an explosion.

Do not use the controller in an environment

high in oil, steam, or sulfuric gas.

These substances may have adverse effects on

the performance of the controller or damage its

parts.

Do not wash the unit with water.

Doing so may cause an electric shock or

malfunction.

Do not install this controller where an acid or

alkaline solution or special chemical spray is

used frequently to avoid electric shock or

malfunction.

Do not spray insect sprays or sprays with

flammable propellants to the controller.

To avoid the risk of fire or explosion, do not place

flammable sprays near the controller or spray

them directly on the controller.

Do not use the controller for specialized

applications.

This product is designed exclusively for use with

the MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC building air

conditioning control system. The use of this

product with other air-conditioning management

systems or for other purposes may result in

malfunctions.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, install and

wire the unit with the power to the

PAC-SC50/51KUA power supply unit turned

off.

When installing the controller in a hospital or

communication facility, take appropriate

measures to reduce electrical noise

interference.

Inverter equipment, generators, high-frequency

medical equipment, or radio communication

equipment may interfere with the normal

operation of the controller; or the electrical noise

from the controller may interfere with the medical

practice or cause image distortion and static.

Operate the controller within the temperature

range specification.

The use of controller outside of its specification

may result in serious damage to the controller. Be

sure to check the temperature range specification

in the Instruction Book.

Do not install this controller in a place that

has the potential for steam or dew formation.

Steam or dew formation may cause an electric

shock or a unit malfunction.

Use a security device such as a VPN router

when connecting the GB-24A to the Internet

to prevent unauthorized access.

If no security devices are installed, the operation

settings may be changed by an unauthorized

person without the knowledge of the user.

Do not touch the PCB (Printed Circuit Board)

with your hand or a tool.

Keep the PCB dust-free to prevent fire or

malfunction.

Enable the “Automatic restoration after power failure” function on the air conditioning units.

Otherwise, the hold function will prohibit the schedule from being executed, and the units will remain

stopped even after power is restored. Enable this function for the units to automatically resume their

eration after

ower is restored.

Notes

●When 15 or fewer GB-24A units are used in the air-conditioning network for, set the IP address via SW2 on the

unit.

●If the set IP address of GB-24A is forgotten, check the IP address that is registered on the monitoring PC (WEB).

GB-24A can be started by changing the setting of SW2 on GB-24A and using an arbitrary fixed

IP address as a temporary IP address. It is recommended to paste a sticker with the IP address on the unit, so

that the IP address of GB-24A is available at all times. Once GB-24A is started up with a temporary IP address,

a new IP address can be assigned to it on the Initial Setting Web.
