The Mitsubishi PAC-IF082B-E is the standalone FTC7 master controller for integrating a Mitsubishi Ecodan outdoor unit with a third-party hydraulic indoor kit, custom cylinder configuration, or commercial system. It contains the full FTC7 control logic, scheduling, weather compensation, energy metering and two-zone control — packaged for separate wall-mounting rather than embedded inside a pre-plumbed cylinder.
When to specify this controller
Use it when pairing a Mitsubishi Ecodan outdoor unit with a non-Mitsubishi cylinder (e.g. Cordivari, OSO, Vaillant), in multi-zone bespoke systems, or as part of a commercial install with custom buffer/cylinder configuration.
Not needed with pre-plumbed FTC7 cylinder
If you're choosing the standard Mitsubishi FTC7 pre-plumbed cylinder, you don't need this controller — it comes pre-built into the cylinder. This is for third-party indoor configurations only.
Key features
Full FTC7 Logic
Single or two-zone control, weather compensation, scheduling, frost protection, defrost management and immersion backup control built in.
Built-In Energy Metering
Outputs measured energy data to MELCloud and via Modbus — essential for MCS compliance on third-party cylinder installs.
Wall-Mounted Enclosure
Compact enclosure for indoor location — typically inside the cylinder cupboard or adjacent plant area.
Universal Ecodan Compatibility
Pairs with every current Mitsubishi Ecodan R32 and R290 monobloc, single or three-phase.
Modbus + MELCloud
Supports both interfaces concurrently — MELCloud for homeowner app access, Modbus for BMS/EMS integration.
Mitsubishi UK Warranty
Full Mitsubishi UK manufacturer warranty when commissioned by an approved engineer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this with an older Ecodan?
The FTC7 platform is the current generation. For older Mitsubishi systems running FTC4 or FTC6 firmware, this controller isn't a direct drop-in — you'd need to upgrade other system elements. Contact our team for compatibility advice on older systems.
Does this support cascade configurations?
The FTC7 supports cascade control via additional accessories. For multi-unit cascade setups, speak to our renewables team about complete system design.
What sensors do I need with this controller?
For a typical third-party cylinder install, you need: one PAC-TH011TK2-E (DHW tank sensor), a pair of PAC-TH011-E (primary flow + return), and one PAC-FS01-E (primary flow rate). All are sold separately and listed under our Mitsubishi accessories.
Is this OK for commercial/landlord use?
Yes — it's the standard choice for commercial Ecodan installs, multi-property landlords using bespoke cylinders, and any scenario where the standard pre-plumbed format doesn't fit.
