Features
- 3D i-see Sensor®
- The PLA-A cassette unit includes an advanced thermal sensor that scans the room for hot and cold spots as well as occupancy. Using this information, the cassette unit can be programmed to direct airflow to certain areas of the zone in specific scenarios.
- Dehumidification
- When the indoor unit is run in dry mode, the coil's temperature stays just below the dew point of the return air, removing unwanted moisture. This improves comfort and reduces the chance of mold growth and other property damage in the conditioned space.
- Vane Control
- Optimal air flow can be achieved with the PLA-A thanks to the individual vane control option. This function provides access to an auto mode and a swing mode.
- Kumo Cloud Compatible
- Control every zone in your home from the palm of your hand. The Kumo Cloud App allows easy access and control with any smartphone or internet browser.
- Condensate Removal System
- The PLA-A contains an internal drain mechanism capable of lifting condensate 33-7/16". This simplifies installation and prevents condensate overflow, which can damage or destroy your property.

- (1) Mitsubishi PLP-41EAEU Ceiling Cassette Grille For Mitsubishi PLA-EA Mini Split Units (PLP-41EAEU)
- This product requires a compatible mini split outdoor condenser and the following accessories for indoor unit installation:
- Line Set - This double insulated tubing transfers refrigerant efficiently between your outdoor condenser and indoor units.
- Disconnect Box & Electrical Whip Kit - The Disconnect Box & Whip Kit provides a safe and simple way to connect your outdoor condenser to your fuse box.
- Connecting Wire - This durable, insulated wire provides power to your indoor units from your outdoor condenser.
- Outdoor Condenser Plastic Pad or Wall Bracket - We recommend outdoor condensers should not be placed directly on the ground. An outdoor condenser pad or wall bracket will provide a stable way to mount your condenser free from obstructions and debris.
