RECEIVING THE AIR CONDITIONER
Inspect the air conditioner. Check for concealed damage that may have occurred during shipment. Look for
dents, scratches, loose assemblies, etc. Damage evident upon receipt should be noted on the freight bill. Damage
should be brought to the attention of the delivering carrier -- NOT to Pentair Equipment Protection -- within
15 days of delivery. Save the carton and packing material and request an inspection. Then file a claim with the
delivering carrier.
Pentair Equipment Protection cannot accept responsibility for freight damages; however, we will assist you in any
way possible.
HANDLING & TESTING THE AIR CONDITIONER
TEST FOR FUNCTIONALITY BEFORE MOUNTING THE AIR CONDITIONER TO THE ENCLOSURE.
If it is necessary to place the air conditioner in a horizontal position after unpacking, be certain it is placed in an
upright, vertical or mounting position for a minimum of five (5) minutes before operating.
Do not attempt to operate the air conditioner while it is horizontal
or on its side, back or front. The refrigeration compressor is filled
with lubricating oil. This will cause permanent damage to the air
conditioner and also voids the warranty.
CAUTION
Refer to the nameplate for proper electrical current requirements, then connect power cord to a properly
grounded power supply. Minimum circuit ampacity should be at least 125% of the amperage shown in the design
data section for the appropriate model. No other equipment should be connected to this circuit to prevent
overloading.
Connect to clean, pressurized water supply and provide drain.
Operate the air conditioner for five (5) to ten (10) minutes. No excessive noise or vibration should be evident
during this run period. The evaporator blower (enclosure air), and the compressor should be running.
The compressor is provided with automatic reset thermal overload protection. This thermo-switch is located and
mounted inside the plastic enclosure clipped to the compressor. The only time this switch should operate is when
the compressor overheats due to ambient air temperatures exceeding nameplate rating or if enclosure dissipated
heat loads exceed the rated capacity of the air conditioner. The thermal overload switch will actuate and stop
compressor operation. The blower will continue to operate and water will continue to flow for a short period. The
compressor will restart after it has cooled to within the thermal overload cut-in temperature setting.
The unit will also shut down if water supply is interrupted. See WATER USAGE on page 6.
