HOW TO USE YOUR CARAVAN’S EQUIPMENT
TELAIR AIR CONDITIONING (option)
Introduction
Note: The manufacturer cannot be held liable for
damage caused by improper use of the air
conditioner.
The SILENT 7300H air conditioner consists of
nine main parts:
• compressor , which circulates the coolant gas
through the system.
• condenser , which cools the coolant by
changing it from a gaseous to a liquid state.
• evaporator, which, cooled by the change of
state of the coolant, cools the air passing
through it.
• fans , which move the air so that it passes
through the condenser and evaporator
• solenoid valve , which switches gas circulation
and so provides a cooling or heating function
• remote control to program the desired
function
• receiver , situated in the diffuser, which
receives the remote control signals
• electronic board , which receives the signals
from the receiver and transforms them into
commands for the various electrical
components of the air conditioner.
The SILENT 7300H provides cold air during the
summer months and hot air in winter.
If the vehicle has been left in the sun for some
time it is good practice to open windows and
doors before starting the conditioner so as to
release the build up of heat in the interior; once
indoor temperature matches outdoor
temperature close the windows and doors and
start the air conditioner. Subsequently, only open
doors and windows when necessary.
Preliminary checks
Before switching on the air conditioner for the
very first time:
• Check that condensate drainage holes are
unobstructed.
• Check that power voltage and frequency are
as indicated in the previous section.
• Check that air flow through relative ducts
and vents is unobstructed. To ensure
maximum efficiency always keep external
ventilation grilles clear.
Useful tips
• Enhance the thermal insulation of the camper
by eliminating any fissures and covering glass
surfaces with heatreflecting curtains.
• Avoid frequent opening/closing of windows
unless necessary.
• Select a suitable temperature and airflow
rate.
• Adjust the outtlow vents to maximise
comfort.
• Never close both adjustable vents when the
conditioner is running.
• Wait at least 2 minutes between switching
off and switching on so as not to damage the
compressor.
• Clean the diffuser filters periodically; wash
them with a detergent solution and dry them
thoroughly before refitting them.
• Do not obstruct airflow inlets/outlets with
fabric, paper or anything else.
• Do not spray water inside the air
conditioner.
• Remove the remote control battery if you
do not intend to use the conditioner for a
long period.
• Periodically check that the condensate drain
holes are not obstructed.
• Periodically check that external intakes grilles
are clean so as to maintain maximum air
conditioner efficiency.
• Clean the air conditioner with detergent
solutions only; never use petrol or solvents.
