Generally information for a/c unit
Attention in case of roof top a/c units: Never switch on the a/c unit during car-
wash!
The a/c unit is operational with running engine only.
At cooling operation the humidity inside the vehicle is decreased, which avoids steamed up win-
dows. The a/c unit works most effectively with windows and doors shut. If, however, the interior
of the standing vehicle has been heated up severely by exposure to sunlight, short-time opening
of windows and doors may accelerate the cooling down process.
At high outside temperature and humidity condensate might drip off the evaporator and make a
puddle under the vehicle. This is quite normal and no sign for a leakage.
The filter in the return air grid (optional) retains pollution. If the external air is contaminated with
gas switch over to return air operation. The filter should be cleaned or replaced respectively on a
regular basis so that the capacity of the a/c unit is not affected.
If you think that the a/c unit is damaged, switch it off immediately.
To avoid further damage
have it check at a KONVEKTA Service Station. Only after that you can take unit into operation.

Operating Conditions
NOTE:
KONVEKTA uses components made of copper and aluminium, which last a whole unit lifetime un-
der normal environmental conditions. Should the units be operated under aggressive environmental
conditions, i.e. air containing salt-, phosphate- or ammoniac extremely, a corrosion of the cupper-
and aluminium components can not be ruled out. The cupper- and aluminium components of the
KONVEKTA systems are not suitable for such extreme application conditions. We indicate emphati-
cally, that corrosion is not subject to warranties for defects. KONVEKTA does not take over any war-
ranties for defect, neither for corrosion nor for consequential damage resulting there from, nor for
damages caused by cleaning the systems with highly compressed or corrosion advancing sub-
stances.

Introduction control KS60
The air conditioning control
KS60
is a control and regulation device for air conditioners in modern
buses. The bus driver is relieved from all questions of an optimum air conditioning in the passen-
gers’ compartment by a simple and clear handling. All functions of the a/c unit are adjustable by
different key-buttons. Every button has an indicating lamp, called LED used as a control function of
the buttons or in case of operating. LED is shining red if button is pressed or if unit is in operation.
Control board KS60 is connected onto the original dash board lightning of the vehicle. This means
that in case of running vehicle lamp, night lightning of control board (LED green) is also activated.
☛
Note:
We recommend driving with automatic mechanism (Key S5, see 5). Additionally to the automatic the
following functions can be activated:
a)
SMOG
-flap manually, in order to prevent the entrance of exhaust fumes (in tunnels)
b)
REHEAT-
function to dehydrate the steamed up wind shield
