Safety Considerations
Never install your air conditioner in the bilge or engine
room areas. Insure that the selected location is sealed
from direct access to bilge and/or engine room vapors.
Do not terminate condensate drain line within three (3)
feet of any outlet of engine or generator exhaust
systems, nor in a compartment housing an engine or
generator, nor in a bilge, unless the drain is connected
properly to a sealed condensate or shower sump pump.
Failure to comply may allow bilge or engine room vapors
to mix with the air conditioners return air and contami-
nate living areas which may result in injury or death.
Consideration should be given to installing a trap in the
condensate drain line(s) so that normal discharge of
condensate can fill the trap and prevent the ingress of
carbon monoxide (CO) or other potentially harmful
vapors.
Installation and servicing of this system can be hazard-
ous due to system pressure and electrical components.
When working on this equipment, always observe
precautions described in the literature, tags and labels
attached to the unit. Follow all safety codes. Wear safety
glasses and work gloves and place a fire extinguisher
close to the work area. The following is a summary of
the labels on the unit:
! DANGER Electrical shock hazard. Disconnect voltage
at main panel or power source before opening any
cover. Failure to comply may result in injury or death.
! WARNING This component does not meet Federal
requirements for ignition protection. Do not install in
spaces containing gasoline engines, tanks, LPG/CPG
cylinders, regulators, valves or fuel line fittings. Failure
to comply may result in injury or death.
NOTICE This component is charged with
hydrochlorofluoro-carbon (HCFC) refrigerant R22.
Effective July 1, 1992 it shall be unlawful for any person
to knowingly vent or otherwise knowingly release any
class 1 (CFC) or class 2 (HCFC) substance as a
refrigerant in a manner which permits such substance to
enter the atmosphere per the clean air act of 1990.
Public law 101-549 Title IV Section 608-c. Failure to
comply may result in severe penalties, including fines
and imprisonment. Note: The Cuddy dc unit is charged
with R417a.
! WARNING To minimize the hazard of electrical shock
and personal injury, this component must be effectively
grounded. Refer to the installation guidelines for further
information.
! WARNING The compressor and fan on the Cuddy dc
air conditioning unit are AC voltage components,
running on 115VAC supplied by the DPM. The pump
and 2-knob mechanical control also run on 115VAC
supplied by the DPM. Disconnect voltage at main panel
or power source before opening any cover. Failure to
comply may result in injury or death.
Placement Of System
Selecting a good location for your air conditioner is the
most important part of your preparations. Be sure to
consider the size of the area you are cooling, the air
distribution needs, and the size of the unit you have
chosen. Keeping in mind that cool air has a tendency to
fall, it is highly recommended that you locate the supply
air grille as high as possible in the cabin. See the Cool
Mate Kit drawings, Figures 14-17, at the back of this
manual for examples.
The air conditioning unit should be installed as low as
possible,
but never in the bilge or engine room areas.
Insure that the selected location is sealed from direct
access to bilge and/or engine room vapors
. Installing
the unit as low as possible (such as under a V-berth,
dinette seat or bottom of a locker) and ducting the
supply air as high as possible, creates an ideal air flow
condition. This type of installation will prevent short or
premature cycling.
The unit should be positioned on a firm, level, horizontal
surface and the condensate drain line should run
downward from the unit to a suitable drain location. Plan
all connections which must be made including ducting,
condensate drain, seawater in and out, electrical power
connections, location of control, and seawater pump
placement, to assure easy access for routing and
servicing.
