Turn On Your KwiKool System - Pressing the ON/OFF button once on your control
panel will put your unit in the ON position and “ON” will be displayed on the right
side of your display as well as the previously chosen mode.
COOL - If the unit was previously set to the cooling mode (cool) then “cool” will be
displayed. If the compressor is running, the ”cool” on the display will be flashing. If
your unit has been sitting for over 2 minutes, this should happen immediately upon
turning the unit on, unless your set point is lower than the current room tempera-
ture. In this case your unit is ready to automatically turn on once the temperature
rises above the set point. If the unit was recently turned off or the unit turned itself
off because it reached the set point, the compressor will not turn on until the
system waits for approximately 2 minutes. This prevents the compressor from
being damaged do to a condition called short cycling. The indicator that the unit is in
the “time out” condition is that the F (or C) in the display will be flashing. When the
compressor starts, the F will stop flashing and the “COOL” will begin flashing.
Note that the condenser fan will not start immediately with the compressor. If the
display flashes 99, this indicates ambient temperature of 99 degrees F or more.
This is normal and will stop flashing when the ambient temperature falls below 99
degrees F.
FAN - If the unit was previously set to the fan mode then “FAN” will be displayed
and the fan will start to run.

Time Delay -
Protects your KwiKool from potential damage by delaying the compres-
sor from starting before the pressures in the mechanical system equalize. This always
activates when your KwiKool cycles off, is turned off, power is lost and then restored or
the operational mode is changed. Display flashes C or F if the time delay is activated.
High-Pressure Switch and Alarm - Protects your KPAC II unit from potential
damage to the mechanical system by shutting down, sounding an audible alarm and
displaying a fault code (
AL ) when the system pressure exceeds safe operating condi-
tions. The high pressure switch is a manual reset switch located in the condenser inlet
on the back of the system and labeled HP Reset; and must be reset after the switch is
activated and the condition causing the trip is corrected.
Automatic Restart - In the event of a power loss your KwiKool Iceberg resumes
operation when the power is restored. All operational functions are preserved in the
memory of the Microprocessor Board including the ON/OFF selection.
