Roof Air Conditioner
Every Born Free Motorcoach is equipped with a
ducted 15,000 BTU Coleman roof mounted air
conditioner . It features several cooling settings
and features a heat strip that can be used to take the
chill out of the air on cool
mornings. The air
conditioner is controlled
by a remote thermostat
mounted on the wall
(Figure 2.6) that controls
temperature for A/C, heat
strip, gas heat, and fan
speeds. Refer to the
Comfort Control Users Guide for instructions on
how to get the most from your thermostat.
Operating Instructions –
The roof mounted
air conditioner operates on 120
-
volt power
supplied by either the shoreline or generator.
The AC / Heat Strip must be in the OFF
position when the generator is started or when
the shoreline power cord is plugged in.
Cooling Operation –
Select the fan speed to
best satisfy your needs:
High Cool
– Select when maximum
cooling and dehumidification is required.
Medium Cool
– Select when normal or
average cooling is required.
Low Cool
– Select to maintain comfort —
typically used when the room is already at
the desired comfort level. This speed is
normally used for nighttime operation.
NOTE: When in the cool mode, (unless the
fan is set to “auto”) the blower will run
continuously to circulate air . In order to
maintain the selected temperature level, the
compressor will cycle on as cooling is
required. If the fan is set to “auto” the fan
and the compressor will cycle ON and OFF as
determined by the difference between actual
temperature and the desired temperature.
WARNING: Do not run the air conditioner
with all vents closed. This creates back
pressure on the air conditioner, impedes its
operation, and can cause damage over time.
NOTE: “Filters” have been placed in the rear
ducts. Their purpose is limit airflow to the
rear ducts and redirect more airflow to the
front of the motorcoach. These are not used
for air filtration and can be removed if
desired.
Heating Operation
– Select Heat on the
thermostat. The fan and heater will run as
required. The heat strip takes a few minutes to
warm up, but, if left on, does an adequate job of
heating when small amounts of heat are
required in the motorcoach. The heat strip
should not be used as the main source of heat
for your motorcoach – the furnace should be
used in colder conditions. Do not leave the
heat strip on when the vehicle is unattended.
Maintenance
– Periodically remove the filters
located in the inside air box and clean them.
After the filters are removed, wash the filter/
grille assemblies with soap and warm water.
Let the assemblies dry before reinstalling them.
Trouble Shooting
– If the unit fails to operate,
first check the power source (the shoreline
power cord or the generator) to ensure it is
generating a proper amount of current. Next,
check the breaker in the power converter to see
