1.0 Introduction
COOL-SPACE®is a patented and registered Trade Mark of Advanced Radiant Systems,
Inc. and manufactured in Indiana USA.
COOL-SPACE®is a compact, self-contained, high-efficiency portable evaporative cooler
capable of lowering existing temperatures by as much as 15ºC.
2.0 Unpacking your COOL-SPACE®unit
Carefully examine the carton for damage before opening. If the carton is damaged notify the
shipping company immediately.
The CS5-16 units are shipped in a cardboard box. Open the top panel and lift the unit out.
The larger units are shipped on a wooden skid with a cardboard cover and lid. The
cardboard cover simply lifts off the COOL-SPACE®unit. The cooler must be lifted off the
wooden skid.
3.0 Set-up of the COOL-SPACE®unit
The COOL-SPACE®unit is factory tested and ready to use. The unit should be placed
on a level surface, and the castors locked to prevent inadvertent movement. Follow
instructions below to connect water and electrical supply.
3.1 Connecting the water supply
Do not connect the COOL-SPACE®unit to any water source where water pressure exceeds 8
bar. This will cause permanent damage to the unit.
The COOL-SPACE®unit comes equipped with a female garden hose water source
connection, with a pressure regulator attached. Attach the unit to a standard garden hose
outlet for a water source. The unit should not be attached to any water source with operating
pressure above 8 bar. Pressures above 8 bar must use a pressure regulator which may be
purchased at your local hardware store. Note: a female - ¾: to 22mm connection may be
required (not supplied) depending on local pipe sizing. If you have purchased the optional
portable water tank, use a standard garden hose (not provided) to connect the tank to
the cooler.

2
3.2 Connecting the electrical supply
The COOL-SPACE®unit should be plugged into a fused or circuit breaker protected 10 amp, 220
volt, and 60 Hz circuit. If the unit is custom built for a specific application, please consult the
factory for proper configuration.
All models utilize standard 220-volt power supply. The unit should be plugged into a fused
or circuit breaker protected 10 amp, 220 volt, 60 HZ circuit. If the unit is custom built for a
specific application, please consult the factory for proper configuration. A ground fault circuit
interrupter protected circuit is strongly recommended.
Table 1 shows the amperage requirements for the specific models. If an extension cord is
required, refer to Table 2 for the proper 3-conducter heavy-duty cord required.
Do not exceed the amperage ratings of the extension cord. Undersized extension cords result in
excessive drops in voltage, which cause the electric motors to generate excessive heat. This
condition results in inefficient motor operation and premature motor failure, WHICH WILL VOID
THE WARRANTY.

4.0 Operating procedures
There are 3 factors to consider when determining where to place the COOL-SPACE®unit.
1. Fresh air supply: The inlet side of the unit (pad side) requires a constant,
uninterrupted supply of fresh air for maximum performance. A distance of 1
metre clear space to any obstructions at the rear or inlet side of the unit is
recommended.
2. Discharge air flow: The cool air discharged from the unit should be free of
obstruction to allow the air to circulate in order to maximize the cooling zone.
3. Ventilation: In order to operate at maximum effectiveness, it is helpful to have
provisions to remove the air discharged from the COOL-SPACE®unit from the
cooling area. This ensures that the COOL-SPACE®unit does not recirculate air
that has already been through the evaporative cooling process.
The COOL-SPACE®unit must be placed on a level surface to operate correctly. The units
create an oval shaped air pattern that can reach out as far as 21+ metres with larger fans.
Obstacles such as racks and workbenches may interfere with the air flow. An attempt
should be made to locate the unit in such a manner that interruption of the air pattern is held
to a minimum. Multiple units may be required to cover larger areas.
When the COOL-SPACE®unit is placed near a wall or other vertical obstruction, it is
recommended that there be a space of at least 1 metre between the back (pad side) of the
unit and the obstruction. This ensures that a clear supply of fresh air is able to get to the
inlet of the unit.
Operational weights:
CS16 Unit: 38 kg. (unit) + 10 kg. (pad operating weight) + 54 kg. (56 L. reservoir) = 103
kg.CS16 TB Unit: 52 kg. (unit) + 10 kg. (pad operating weight) + 189 kg. (200 L. reservoir) =
251 kg. CS36 Unit: 133 kg. (unit) + 27 kg. (pad operating weight) + 174 kg. (180 L.
reservoir) = 335 kg. CS48 Unit: 225 kg. (unit) + 45kg. (pad operating weight) + 232 kg. (240
L. reservoir) = 503 kg.
4.1 Filling the unit with water
Once the COOL-SPACE®unit has been connected to a water source as described in 3.1,
turn the water supply valve on and the unit will fill with water. The float valve will shut off the
water flow when the sump is full.
4.2 Starting the fan
Turn the fan switch to HIGH speed on start-up, allow motor to reach maximum speed, and
then adjust to your preferred setting.

4
4.3 Starting the pump and adjusting the water flow
DO NOT flood the pads with water, keep them moist. New pads will take a few days before they
become completely saturated. It is normal to have several dry streaks on the face of the pads
about 25 to 50 mm wide. If the streaks are larger adjust the flow control knob to allow more water
to flow onto the pads. NOTE: New pads may also emanate an odour under initial operating
conditions from the resin used to construct the media. Flush the pads by running the pump
without the fan running for approximately at least 12 hours; overnight is best. Empty the sump
and refill. Repeat if odour still exists.
NOTE: Run fan while adjusting the water flow
Once the sump is full, the pump switch may be turned to the ‘ON’ position. The flow control
knob will need to be adjusted on initial start-up. It is located at the side of the unit; it
controls the volume of water that is delivered to the top of the cooling pads.
Prolonged use of hard water without proper water treatment will create mineral deposit
build up causing the pump to fail which is NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY
Pump is equipped with a LOW WATER CUT OFF which may take up to 5 minutes to reset each
time the power is turned on.
5.0 Maintenance and storage
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Disconnect the power supply before performing any service or maintenance on the unit. Failure
to do so may result in serious injury or death.
5.1 Removing the cooling media to access the inside of the unit
In order to perform any maintenance on internal components, the cooling pads must be
removed to access the inside of the unit.
1. Remove the (2) bolts connecting the pad retainer bar (pad-side) from the housing.
2. Tilt pads from the top, starting with the center pad, out of the unit.
Note: Reinstall pads correctly according to the markings on the pads.
5.2 Daily maintenance
When shutting down the COOL-SPACE®unit at the end of each workday, the pump should be
turned off approximately 15 minutes before the fan is turned off. This will allow the pads to drain
and dry out. This simple guideline will ensure long and efficient pad life as well as help to
control mildew and bacteria growth.

5
5.3 Periodic maintenance
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Disconnect the power supply before performing any service or maintenance on the unit. Failure
to do so may result in serious injury or death.
Depending on how often the COOL-SPACE®unit operates, this procedure should be
performed anywhere from every week for heavy use to monthly for light use. Shut down the
unit and drain the water sump. The cooling pads act as a filtering agent and remove dust
and other particles from the incoming air stream. These particles will flow into the sump and
collect there. Also, impurities in the water will collect in the sump.
Draining the Water Sump
1. Close the water flow valve and open the drain valve.
2. Run pump until sump is dry then immediately shut off pump.
3. Turn unit off and disconnect the power supply.
4. Remove cooling pads, refer to section 5.1.
5. Clean out reservoir with either a towel or wet/dry vacuum.
6. Check belt for tightness, if applicable.
7. Remove the water spray bar and its plug. Insure holes are free of debris.
8. Reinstall pads and pad retainer.
9. Reinstall rear guard (if applicable).
To keep the COOL-SPACE®unit operating at peak efficiency, ensure that the cooling pads
are kept clean and dust-free. Dust and other particles have an adverse effect on the
media’s ability to introduce water into the air stream. If the pad surface becomes dirty or
dusty, clean with a soft brush and water.
The fan motor may require periodic lubrication depending on the COOL-SPACE®model.
Check your model for an oil fill location on the motor. A few drops of light oil each year will
extend motor life.
5.4 Storage
1. Remove the pads, as described in section 5.1
2. Clean with a soft brush and water to remove dust and debris
3. Drain sump using procedure described in section 5.3 and wipe dry
4. Store the COOL-SPACE® unit in a dry area and cover if possible to prevent dust
build-up. Covers for your unit can be found online at www.cool-space.com

6.0 Troubleshooting/Repair
6.1 Troubleshooting
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Disconnect the power supply before performing any service or maintenance on the unit.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death.
The COOL-SPACE®unit consists of three systems: the fan, water distribution and pump. It is
important to determine which system of the COOL-SPACE®unit the problem is associated
with. This may not always be obvious, in that certain problems may be associated with more
than one system.
When determining which system has a problem, you must define the associated problem,
(e.g. the pump is not running). Although this might seem a bit simplified, several things may
cause this particular problem. So while defining the problem, a careful check of all systems
should be made to fully understand the extent of the problem.
If you have a complete understanding of all of the systems of the COOL-SPACE®unit and
how they depend on each other, it will be simple to define and solve any problem.
Necessary Tools:
Although the COOL-SPACE®unit is designed to be simple to maintain, it will be necessary to
have some basic hand tools (screwdrivers, pliers, adjustable wrenches, etc.) as well as a
volt/ohm metre when troubleshooting the electrical system.
