Installation Guide for Artic Air 24 Volt R134A
Air Conditioner
Rev 004 April 20, 2014
There are five objectives to installing the
Artic Air unit:
1) The primary wiring from the battery,
2) The controller and controller cable,
3) The condenser air exhaust,
4) The condensate drain,
5) Secure tie down.
The first step is to review the Artic Air
“Information and Installation Guide” and Digital Control Operations Manual”. See
section below.
Step 1: Primary wiring –
A #6 MIL-W-22759/16-6 wire is installed as the primary power source to the air
conditioner. This power source comes directly from the battery and is protected by a 60
amp circuit breaker installed adjacent to the battery. The Skybolt kit includes a
protective housing (AC-2109) to be installed with the circuit breaker.
For the Beech Baron, the easiest routing is along
the right side of the fuselage and cabin to the aft
baggage area. This routing requires the least
amount of side panels or floor removal. When
routing the primary wire also plan to route the
controller cable. The controller cable is shielded
and should not be cut or spliced. We recommend
a longer control cable than standard. Request a
20 or 35 foot cable with your unit to allow the
best possible panel location of the controller on
the instrument panel.
The primary wiring and controller wiring is routed beneath the aft baggage compartment
floor to the left side of the fuselage. Allow sufficient length of wire to be able to remove
the baggage compartment floor enough for maintenance and inspections. The controller
60 Amp Breaker with AC-2109 Protector located in Baron
nose baggage compartment just aft of battery.
