Install the ducting to and from the shelter

 

and fasten with the integrated 

clamps. Slide the ducting over the rings and pull the loose end of the cinch 

strap to tighten it on the rings. The left upper duct is the outlet air from the 

ECU, supply air to the shelter, and the right lower duct is the return air from 

the shelter.

Controller 

cable 

connection

The portable controller is located on the opposite side of the unit from the 

Supply/Return ports. It is fasten to the unit with heavy duty industrial Velcro. 

The controller can remain on the unit during operation or can be removed and 

relocated in a more advantageous position. The controller cable is connected 

to the ECU with watertight turn lock connectors.  When connecting the 

controller cable to both the ECU and Controller you may hear a click when it 

locks in place.  

 

The temperature sensing is done at the intake duct of the ECU so the 

controller can be placed inside or outside depending on your final needs. 

 

 

Powering up the ECU 

 

The power supply should be a 100 to 125 volt single-phase supply. Do not 

run ECU on any other power sources. The supply power should be 

adequately grounded to avoid electrical shocks or the possibility of 

electrocution.  

 

For Normal operation, air conditioning and heating, the 1.25 Ton ECU 

requires a minimum circuit capable of 30 amps. The ECU will draw less 

power in the Normal operation during cooling (AC) but will draw more power 

during heating operations as the ECU will operate both the heatpump with a 

resistance heater for heating. If wired to a building supply a minimum 30 amp
