the condensation either to the factory supplied condensate bottle, or to a drain or other 
location as required by the application. The internal pump is rated at 20 foot of head 
pressure. This means it can pump water to a maximum of 20 feet vertically. Each pump 
is equipped with an overflow safety cut-off that automatically shuts your KPHP unit 
down, sounds an audible alarm and displays a fault code (

CP

). This prevents accidental 

flooding of the conditioned space.

Condensate Tank & High Level Alarm - 

All KPHP models come standard with an 

external condensate tank. The tank is equipped with an overflow safety cut-off. When 
the tank is full, the safety will automatically shut down your KPHP systems, sound an 
audible alarm and display a fault code (

CF

) This prevents accidental flooding of the 

conditioned space. If you are using the supplied bypass plug and not using the tank this 
alarm is nonfunctional.

Service Ports - 

Located in the filter access compartment in the front of your KwiKool 

below the control panel. This gives service personal a connection point for service 
gauges to monitor the operating pressures of your KwiKool KPHP refrigeration system.

Sight Glass/Moisture Indicator - 

Located in the discharge air make up inlet. This 

feature allows operators and service personal to view the condition of the refrigerant 
returning to the evaporator coil. Used as a diagnostic tool by qualified personal.

VI / Application Requirements

Air Temperature Requirements Cooling -

 

The environmental requirements of 

your KwiKool unit at the installation site are 60 to 110 degrees F for the condenser 
make up air located on the front inlet on the top of the unit. 

If the unit is operated in an 

environment above 110 F 

the high pressure switch may trip, stopping the unit’s 

compressor. You also may notice diminished performance. The High Pressure Switch 
type is a manual reset. The reset switch is located in the Return Air grill filter compart-
ment. Reset the unit by pressing the button labeled HP Reset. 

Standard air-cooled 

KwiKool models are not designed to operate at temperatures below 60 degrees F. in 

cooling mode. Low-ambient temperature controls must be special ordered at an 

additional cost.

 Temperatures below 60 degrees F will cause the discharge air exhaust 

fan to cycle excessively and may damage the fan cycling switch, which requires 
qualified service personal to repair and can void your warranty.

Air Temperature Requirements Heating - 

The environmental requirements of 

your KwiKool unit at the installation site are 40 to 80 degrees F for the supply air 
located on the front of the unit. 

If the unit is operated in an environment above 80 F 

the high pressure switch may trip, stopping the unit’s compressor. You also may notice 
diminished performance. The High Pressure Switch type is a manual reset. The reset 
switch is located in the Return Air grill filter compartment. Reset the unit by pressing 
the button labeled HP Reset. 

Standard air-cooled KwiKool models are not designed to 

operate at temperatures below 40 degrees F. in heat mode. 

Temperatures below 40 

degrees F will cause the supply air fan to cycle excessively and may damage the fan 
cycling switch, which requires qualified service personal to repair and can void your 
warranty.

Capacity & Temperature Settings - 

Sizing of our units is based on matching 

capacity to a specific heat load while maintaining a 72 degree F temperature.  In order 
to maintain temperatures at 72 degrees F, the unit must have correctly sized capacity.
