will provide excellent room air temperature sensing given a proper installation. The display panel should be mounted on an inside
wall, slightly higher than mid-height of the cabin, in a location with freely circulating air where it can best sense average
temperature. The cut out size for the display panel is 3d" wide by 2:" high. Do not mount the display in direct sunlight, near any
heat producing appliances or in a bulkhead where temperatures radiating from behind the panel may effect performance. Do not
mount the display in the supply air stream. Do not mount the display above or below a supply or return air grille. Do not
mount the display behind a door, in a corner, under a stairwell or any place where there is no freely circulating air. Mount the
display within display cable length (custom lengths available) of the air conditioner. Plug the display cable (159/4.6m standard
length with 8-pin connector) into the circuit board in the electric box and into the back of the display panel. Secure the display
panel to a bulkhead with the adhesive strips provided. Clean the mounting surface with isopropyl alcohol only prior to
placement (test alcohol on hidden portion of surface first). If the adhesive strips cannot be used, use #6 truss head screws to
mount the display. The panel has predrilled holes in each corner that can be accessed by peeling back the adhesive strips.
Carefully & slowly drill 5/32" holes through the front of the lexan cover lining up with the predrilled holes in back. Do not use
a screw gun and do not over-tighten screws when mounting panel. Over-tightening screws will damage the lexan cover.
If a proper location for room temperature sensing cannot be found for the display, an optional remote air sensor may be used.
Mount the remote air sensor in the return air stream behind the return air grille/opening and plug its cable (79/2.1m standard
length with 6-pin connector) into socket #J2 on the circuit board (socket nearest the corner of the board). Installing the remote
air sensor will override the face plate sensor. An optional outside air temperature (O.A.T.) sensor and cable may also be used.
Plug the O.A.T. cable into the 6-pin socket #J3. Mount the sensor outside but not in direct sunlight. Air sensor cables are
available in various lengths. Do not staple any cables when mounting.
INSTALLATION CHECKLIST (review prior to installation)
Sea Water cooling system:
Speed scoop located as far below the water line and as close to the keel as possible
Shut off valve and speed scoop properly sealed and tight
Sea water pump at least one foot below water line and securely mounted
Strainer mounted below pump with access to filter
Double/reversed stainless steel hose clamps on all hose connections
Teflon tape on all threaded connections
Hose runs uphill from speed scoop and sea cock to strainer, pump and a/c unit, then
downhill from a/c unit to overboard discharge
Water flowing freely from overboard discharge while pump is running
Pump relay panel, if used, must have its own circuit breaker sized for the pump (20 amp max)
Mounting
Not in engine room or bilge areas, must be sealed away from exhaust or fumes
Proper spacing allowed around unit
