PREPARING THE ENCLOSURE:
-continued-
3. Outline the modifications for the enclosure with a marking pencil. Note the bolt hole locations, the
cutouts for the inlet and outlet air streams, the power connection and the locations for any optional
equipment. Additional cable openings may be required for units with optional heating or alarm
outputs, or for units connected to a network communications link.
4. Using a drill, make the holes for the studs, bolts and power cord and any other option. The bit size
will need to vary depending upon the model. See specifications. Protect any equipment located
within the enclosure from debris produced during the installation procedure.
5. Drill a pilot hole for a saber saw to cut the inlet and outlet air passages. File all cuts to provide a
uniform cutout.
6. Slide the mounting studs through the matching holes in the enclosure. Verify that all of the
openings are aligned.
7. After checking that all openings and bolt holes are in alignment, apply the gasket material
provided to the Ice Qube air conditioning system cabinet to ensure enclosure integrity.
*** CAUTION ***
Be careful while removing the backing on the gasket material. The
material may stretch and the holes will not align.
NOTE:
If the enclosure is not air tight or the air conditioning system operates with the enclosure door(s)
open, moisture will condensate inside the air conditioning system and may cause the
condensate management system to overflow.
8. After the gasket material has been installed, mount the Ice Qube system onto the enclosure and
fasten it using the supplied nuts and bolts. Check to see if the power cable and all optional cables
are in place. Fasteners need to be tightened securely and the gasket material needs to be in
place in order to maintain enclosure integrity. The gasket material should be slightly compressed
with no visible gaps. The Ice Qube system is now ready to begin operation.
NOTE:
Near the bottom on the side of the Ice Qube system cabinet is a nipple for condensate
overflow. Although all vertical or side mounted
Ice Qube air conditioners have built-in
condensate management systems, it may be necessary to attach a drain hose to this nipple on
enclosures which are located in extremely humid conditions, or where enclosure doors are left
open or the door seals are leaking.
OPERATING THE SYSTEM:
Once the Ice Qube system has been installed onto the enclosure and the power cable has been
attached to a properly grounded electrical connection with adequate voltage and current supply, the
unit is ready for operation. As soon as electrical power is supplied to the Ice Qube system, the cool
air stream blower will start to operate. The blower will run continuously so that the controller can
monitor the enclosure’s internal temperature. The enclosure temperature will be displayed on the
face of the controller.
If the enclosure temperature is greater than the factory cooling setpoint of 80°F, the “Cool” status LED
will flash. This indicates that the compressor’s automatic off cycle timer is working. (The off cycle
timer is factory set at 3½ minutes). At the end of 3½ minutes, the compressor and the condenser air
blower will begin to operate. This signifies that the cooling system has begun operation to remove
heat and humidity from the enclosure. The model may take 20 to 30 minutes before it achieves full
capacity.
