GENERAL UNIT INFORMATION
I. PURPOSE
The Aircommand Sandpiper air conditioning unit was designed as a ducted unit for installation on the floor underneath a
seat/bed or inside a cupboard of a caravan or recreational vehicle (RV) to provide reverse cycle heating and cooling. It is
intended to be used to provide “spot” cooling/heating and relief to certain areas immediately adjacent to the outlets. It is not
intended to air condition all areas of the RV although it may do so in some cases.
It is important that the unit is installed
properly according to the recommended guidelines.
II. ENSURING EFFECTIVE OPERATION
The effectiveness of the air conditioner is dependent on several factors that contribute to the total heat load on the van. When
an Aircommand unit is installed in a van or motorhome Aircommand assumes that the vehicle manufacturer or owner has
properly assessed the potential heat load or sought expert advice and selected the appropriate capacity air conditioning unit.
The following actions can be taken to reduce peak heat load and help the air-conditioner deliver the most comfort:

Closing all doors, hatches, windows and blinds. Extend all annexes.

Position the vehicle so that the annex will face the sun and protect the windows from direct radiation.

Turning off unneeded appliances that might increase the heat load inside the van.

Cook outside if possible.

Park the caravan/RV in a shaded position.
In periods of extreme high temperature it is recommended to start the air conditioner earlier in the morning to greatly
improve its ability to cope with the expected peak heat load.
III. CONDENSATION
In areas of high humidity, the humid air within the van will cause “sweating” or condensation in parts of the unit as the humid,
warm air contacts the colder air discharged from the system. If this occurs please ensure the following:

Close all doors, hatches, windows and blinds to limit the ingress of warm humid air.

Don’t route the ductwork near any heat producing appliances such as the rear of a refrigerator.

Avoid running the inside fan on LOW or AUTO in humid conditions. Running the fan on HIGH fan speed will result in higher
airflow and reduce the tendency to have condensation form.
Aircommand will not be held responsible for damage caused by condensation.
IV. GENERATORS
The Sandpiper is designed to run using mains power, however many owners may want to use portable generators to run the
unit when in remote locations.
Any generator used should deliver high quality, pure sine wave, alternating current at 50Hz,
and be able to handle the compressor start up demand . Given the vast range in quantity and quality of generators on the
market Aircommand cannot recommend a specific model or brand. Discuss your specific requirements with the generator
supplier directly and consider their recommendations.
Aircommand will not be held responsible for damages due to the use of improper generators and such use may void your
warranty.
