Description

To air condition an open area from the ceiling: Mitsubishi Electric cassette PLA-SM71EA + SUZ-SM71VA with a nominal cooling capacity of 6,106 frigories/h (7.1 kW). It is an alternative to consider when there is a false ceiling and you want to free up the walls; it does not replace several splits for closed rooms. Check height, installation space, and air distribution. Installation not included.

Before choosing it, it is advisable to check the available height above the ceiling and the location of the equipment. The panel and the control are part of the configuration: in "What is included" you can see which ones are supplied with this reference.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about PLA-SM71EA + SUZ-SM71VA

How many frigories does this cassette have?
The Mitsubishi Electric PLA-SM71EA + SUZ-SM71VA set has a nominal cooling capacity of 6,106 frigories/h (7.1 kW). The power refers to the complete set, not to each air outlet of the cassette.
Is a cassette better than a wall-mounted split for my living room or premises?
This cassette is an option if the space and the false ceiling allow for the installation of PLA-SM71EA and proper air distribution. It offers 7.1 kW nominal cooling; it is not inherently better than a wall-mounted unit. To choose, compare the thermal load, height, position of people, and installation cost.
Does it cool several closed rooms?
It should not be chosen for that reason alone just because it has 6,106 frigories/h. An interior cassette distributes air in the area where it is installed; doors and partitions limit access to other rooms. For closed spaces, consider a multisplit or a duct network designed for them.
What should I check if the space receives a lot of sunlight?
Look at the square meters of the space, the large windows, and the hours of sunlight. If the premises or living room overheats and more capacity is needed, compare the Mitsubishi Electric PLA-SM100EA + PUZ-SM100VKAIt goes from about 6,106 to 8,170 frigories/h. Before deciding, we will review the power and the available space in the false ceiling with you.
What does PLA-SM71EA + SUZ-SM71VA include?
1 × PLA-SM71EA (indoor unit); 1 × SUZ-SM71VA (outdoor unit); 1 × Model to be confirmed (remote control). The previous composition identifies the units and controls of this offer. The installation is contracted separately.
What measurements should I check before booking the equipment?
Indoor Unit – Dimensions L x W x H (Panel): 258 x 840 x 840 (40 x 950 x 950) mm. Outdoor Unit – Dimensions L x W x H: 880 x 840 x 330 mm. These are the measurements of the indicated components, not the minimum installation space. Also allow for the clearances, connections, and maintenance access required by the manual.
What efficiency does this combination have and what can I compare?
Energy efficiency coefficient – SEER (Label): 6.0 (A+). Energy efficiency coefficient – SCOP (Label)*: 3.9 (A). Compare the same magnitude, combination, and test climate. These data do not certify the consumption of your home or the performance of another combination.
Is Wi-Fi included or is an accessory required?
Wi-Fi is not included in this offer. Mobile control requires a compatible accessory; its reference must be verified for the specific equipment.
What command does the equipment receive?
Remote control included. A specific remote control model is not assigned without confirmation in the supply.
Are the decibels in the technical sheet the noise I will hear at home?
Indoor Unit – Sound power: 56 dB(A). Outdoor Unit – Sound power: 66 dB(A). Maintain the indicated speed and mode when comparing. Pressure and sound power are different magnitudes; the perceived noise also depends on the room and the installation.
Does it fit for an office or a small commercial area?
It can be an option if you are looking to distribute air from the ceiling in an open area and the needs calculation fits with 7.1 kW. In an office, people and computers are important; in a store, so are the display windows and door openings. Share those details with us before deciding solely based on square meters.
What do I gain by moving from size 71 to 100?
The 100 goes from 7.1 to 9.5 kW nominal in cold, but its inner body is 40 mm taller and the exterior changes from SUZ to PUZ. If the 71 meets the needs of the premises, there is no need to increase the size for precaution: first compare the available space and the actual demand.
What power supply does this version require?
This pair PLA-SM71EA + SUZ-SM71VA requires 230 V single-phase. Mitsubishi indicates a maximum current of 15.1 A. The installer must check the line and the protections; not just any socket in the premises can be considered valid.
Can it air condition several closed rooms?
This 71 has a single indoor cassette. It distributes air in the area where it is installed, but it does not allow for independent temperature settings for rooms separated by doors. If your premises have offices or private rooms, check with the installer if you need more units or a zoned distribution.
What should I consider for drainage and winter use?
PLA-SM71EA includes a drainage pump, but the installation requires a well-executed and tested drain. If you want to use it in cold conditions when the outside temperature drops below −5 °C, the documentation requires an optional wind protection guide; the published range does not mean that this accessory is included.
