7. Air conditioning
The air conditioning breakers should be turned on after the generator has
been running for 5 minutes (or once the boat is plugged into shore power)
and the breakers should be shut off before stopping the generator or
unplugging from shore power.
Ensure the companionway and all hatches are closed; otherwise the
compressors will freeze up.
Starting the air conditioning:
•
Switch on the ac pump first.
•
Switch on the required units; there are 2: forward cabin and main saloon
and aft cabin.
•
Each of these units also has an individual control which allows users to
alter the settings for the individual units.
Using the unit control panels:
•
Switch the remote units on using the ‘fan’ button.
•
Set the temperature using the ‘set’ button and the ‘up’ and ‘down’ controls.
•
The units will work best is the minimum temperature is set no lower than
63 degrees. Set it below this and you risk frosting up the unit and causing
it to shut down.
•
Only select the ‘cool’ mode.
•
The remote panel will automatically display the ambient temperature.
•
Switch the units off by pressing the ‘off’ button.
