PREPARING TO INSTALL THE COOLER
COOLER LOCATION
Check the proposed cooler location to ensure it is structurally
capable of supporting the weight of the cooler. If the roof is
structurally inadequate, provide an alternate load bearing
structure.
The ideal location for the cooler is in a central position on the
roof (away from sleeping areas and where people spend most
of their time) so that the duct runs are of approximately the
same length. Carefully consider neighbouring residences and
noise levels when locating the cooler, if necessary talk to the
customer and the neighbour before carrying out the installation.
Always locate the cooler where it will receive adequate fresh air
and not in a recess where it may be starved for air or where the
air is polluted.
Ensure location is a minimum of:
•
3m from a solid fuel heater flue,
•
1.5m from a gas flue,
• 5m from a sewer vent, and
• 600mm from a wall.
The cooler must be mounted at least 3m, preferably 5m away
from any TV antenna or antenna cables.
Make sure the cooler is not between the antenna and the
transmission tower that is providing the television signal to the
home.
Allow adequate access to and around the cooler for
maintenance. Provision must be made for access to electricity,
water supplies and drains.

Note!
Do you need to discuss the installation of items like
safety anchor points with the customer
PREPARING THE DROPPER (IF REQUIRED)
LEVELLING THE DROPPER
Ensure the top of the dropper is level and square in all
directions (use a spirit level). This helps with levelling the cooler.
Cut a 50mm diameter cable exit hole in the dropper then fit and
screw the cable grommet into position.
ACCESS FOR SERVICING AND
MAINTENANCE
The cooler should be installed in a position that allows adequate
access for installation, future maintenance and servicing
activities. This should comply with installation guidelines and
any local, State and National regulations.
Consider the following for the installation location:-
• Which has clear access to and around the cooler
•
Which is clear of fixtures in line with below clearances
• Which is clear of fall edges (> 3m away)
• Which is structurally capable of supporting the weight of the
cooler and service technicians
Required clearances around the cooler for future maintenance
and servicing are shown adjacent.
Extra service or warranty charges may apply for the cost of
any equipment or additional labour involved in accessing
the cooler if these guidelines are not met.
