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 diagram below.
The VECTOR COMPACT 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 surface and the condensate drain line should run aft and downward from the unit to
a suitable drain location sealed away from any exhaust or bilge vapors. Plan all connections which must be made prior to
starting installation, including ducting, condensate drain, cooling water in and out, electrical power connections, location of
control panel, and sea water pump placement and plumbing, to assure easy access for installation and servicing.
