RECEIVING THE AIR CONDITIONER
Inspect the air conditioner. Check for concealed damage that may have occurred during shipment. Look for
dents,scratches, loose assemblies, evidence of oil, etc. Damage evident upon receipt should be noted on the
freight bill. Damage should be brought to the attention of the delivering carrier -- NOT to Pentair Electronics &
Electronical Protection China -- within 15 days of delivery. Save the carton and packing material and request an
inspection. Then file a claim with the delivering carrier.
Pentair Electronics & Electronical Protection China cannot accept responsibility for freight damages; however, we
will assist you in any way possible.
HANDLING AND TESTING THE AIR CONDITIONER
If the air conditioner has been in a horizontal position, be certain it is placed in an upright, vertical or mounting
position for a minimum of five (5) minutes before operating.
Do not attempt to operate the air conditioner while it is horizontal
or on its side, back or front. The refrigeration compressor is filled
with lubricating oil. This will cause permanent damage to the air
conditioner and also voids the warranty.
CAUTION
TEST FOR FUNCTIONALITY BEFORE MOUNTING THE AIR CONDITIONER TO THE ENCLOSURE.
Refer to the nameplate for proper electrical current requirements, and then connect the power cord to a properly
grounded power supply. Minimum circuit ampacity should be at least 125% of the amperage shown in the design
data section for the appropriate model. No other equipment should be connected to this circuit to prevent
overloading.
Immediately after applying power the evaporator blower (enclosure air) should start running. Operate the air
conditioner with the compressor running for five (5) to ten (10) minutes. No excessive noise or vibration should
be evident during this run period. You will need to set the cooling thermostat below the ambient temperature to
operate the compressor.
Condenser air temperatures should be warmer than normal room temperatures within a few minutes after the
condenser impeller starts.
See sequence of operation for specifics on how the unit operates when powered up.

1. Identifies the type/family of air conditioner and the approximate height (i.e.VA08 = Value family
about 701mm to 800mm high).
2. This is the air conditioner’s listed capacity in Watt at rated conditions. (i.e. 12 = 1200 Watt at 35°C
ENCLOSURE 35°C ambient.)
3. 2 = 220/230 Volt,5=50Hz.
4. Identifies the construction material and refrigerant of air conditioner.(i.e.G=Galvanized Sheet Metal
and R134a).
5. Unique set of numbers for each air conditioner which identifies the accessories on a model.
6. A=The updated version
