4.1 Connecting the electrical supply
All QuietCool models require regular 3 prongs, ground with 120 volt power supply. Plug electrical cord into receptacle. If
using an extension cord be sure it is rated for at least 20 amps for the distance your cord is running. To be safe – make sure
no other equipment is plugged into the same circuit. The QuietCool should run smoothly on 20 amp, 120 volt, and 60 Hz
circuit.
4.2 Connecting the water supply
Connect standard water hose to female fitting on the right side of your QuietCool (looking at the fan blade side). If your
water pressure is above 60 pounds per square inch (p.s.i). you must use a pressure regulator (which can be found at your
local hardware store). If you have purchased our optional QR60 gallon reservoir tank – simply attach the garden hose from
the tank to the cooler.
Note:
Do not connect to water source exceeding 60 p.s.i. – this can cause damage to your QuietCool.
5.0 Operating procedures
Back your QuietCool unit up to a fresh air source
such as an open door or window so the unit can pull
in fresh air from the outside. Next, make sure you
have a natural exhaust at the opposite end of the
room, bay or building such as a window, door or bay
door. This will ensure maximum efficiency from
your unit. Finally make sure there are no obstructions
between your QuietCool and the people / area you
need to cool.
5.1 Filling the units reservoir with water
Once your water hose is connected – open the water
flow valve (located on the front of your unit) only
one and half (1 1/4) turns.
This water flow valve adjusts the amount of water to the unit.
Next, turn water on and fill the
reservoir with water. Listen carefully. You can hear water filling the reservoir. Check your water connection – make sure
there is no dripping. Once the reservoir is filled with water the float valve will automatically shut off the water source. When
you no longer hear the water running – you know that the float valve is fully operational
(the water turns off automatically) and you are now ready to turn on the water pump.
Warning! Do not run water pump without water in the reservoir.
5.2 Turn-on pump
To turn-on the water pump - flip the toggle switch for the water pump to on. Switch is
located on front side of unit.
Warning! Do not run water pump without water in the
reservoir
. The water pump will now begin pumping water to the top of the unit so that
gravity will allow the water to run down the backside of unit inside and on the cooling
pads. (If the water is dripping off of the pads on to the floor – turn your fan on low –
close the flow valve a little to slow the water flow. After the pads are wet – you can
