MAXIMISING YOUR COOLBREEZE EVAPORATIVE AIR CONDITIONER
CoolBreeze evaporative air-conditioning provides a continuous supply of cool, fresh, filtered air into your home to push out
the warm, stale air.
To maximise the cooling efficiency it is important to allow sufficient window or door openings to disperse the warm, stale air.
Ceiling outlets should be positioned across the room from the window to allow the cool air to pass through the room and
exit through the window.
It is possible to direct the airflow by closing the windows in an unused room and the air will flow through the opened
doorway into other rooms.
Insufficient openings will restrict the airflow; it may lead to ‘dampness’ on floors and furniture. See below for ventilation
openings required.
If you prefer not to operate your system with windows or doors open or in the case where QC controller is operated
remotely, there is the optional Security Air Relief Vent available from your CoolBreeze dealer.
This allows the escaping air to vent into the roof space rather than through the windows, which has the added benefit of
providing additional insulation as it cools the air inside the roof cavity.

When the air conditioning system is switched off, the
water tank is emptied and a fresh tank of water is taken
in. The fresh water is used to perform a 15 minute
FLUSH cycle. Fresh water rinses and cleans the pads of
any impurities or minerals left from the evaporative
cooling process. To by-pass the FLUSH Mode, press FAN
then OFF.

unit will deliver ambient temperature air from outside
throughout the property. Airflow is adjusted using the UP
and DOWN buttons.
EXHAUST
The EXHAUST function allows the hot air which has built
up to be expelled before the cooling process starts, this
can reduce the time needed to cool the property.
COOL
In COOL mode, both the fan and water pump operate to
provide cool airflow throughout the property. Air flow
can be adjusted from 1 % to 100% using the UP and
DOWN buttons
If the unit is operating in COOL or FAN mode when
QM CONTROLLER
switched to EXHAUST, there will be a 30 second delay to allow the motor to stop prior to reversing direction.
The system has been pre-set to provide a 5 minute pre-wash cycle before the fan starts. Water is circulated over
the pads to wash off any dust. To bypass this wash cycle, press FAN and then COOL. After each 5 hours of
operation a periodic drain cycle empties the tank of water. This 5 hour cycle may be altered if required. See “Water
Management System Settings”.

This fresh water is used to perform a 15 minute FLUSH cycle. Fresh water rinses and cleans the pads of any

FAN
The FAN Mode is useful when the outside ambient temperature is cool and no direct cooling from the air conditioner
is required.
EXHAUST
Exhaust mode is useful for eliminating heat or odours from the property without the in-rush of air experienced
with the COOL and FAN modes. It is particularly useful in winter when a cold draft of air is not desirable.
A delay occurs when switching to EXHAUST Mode. This is to protect the motor and allow it time to stop, before the
rotation is reversed.

WATER MANAGER SYSTEM SETTINGS
The Water Manager System has been factory set at 5 hours.
The DRAIN, WASH and FLUSH cycles can be adjusted using the DIP switches on the Keypad circuit board. (Service
Technician only to adjust)
They function as follows:
DRAIN CYCLE INTERVAL:
5 hour drain cycle interval - DIP switch 1 to OFF position – Factory Setting
2.5 hour drain cycle interval - DIP switch 1 to ON position
PRE-START FLUSH: (USE IN DUSTY ENVIRONMENTS)
To drain the water after the initial pre-start wash
DIP switch 2 to OFF position
No drain after the initial pre-start wash
DIP switch 2 to ON position (Factory Setting)
END OF DAY WASH & FLUSH:
To wash unit and drain when unit is switched off
DIP switch 3 to ON position (Factory Setting)
No wash and drain when unit is switched off
DIP switch 3 to OFF position
Dip switch 4 must remain in the OFF position.
It is advisable to have regular drain cycles to maintain water purity and cooling efficiency.

If the unit is OFF when the TIMER is selected, the unit will
automatically start in COOL mode when the timer counts down
to zero. If the unit is operating in either COOL, FAN or EXHAUST
mode the unit will switch off when the timer reaches zero.

When the air conditioning system is switched off, the water tank
is emptied and a fresh tank of water is taken in. This fresh water
is used to perform a 15 minute FLUSH cycle. Fresh water rinses
and cleans the pads of any impurities or minerals left from the
evaporative cooling process. To by-pass this FLUSH Mode, press
FAN then OFF. The display shows ambient temperature and
housekeeping mode.
AUTO
Press the AUTO key, (“A” is shown in digit one on the display panel) and then select the desired mode COOL, FAN
or EXHAUST.
The “set” temperature is displayed for 5 seconds, use the Up and DOWN buttons to select the desired set
temperature. After 5 seconds the display will show the room temperature.
The fan speed will automatically adjust to maintain the set temperature.
• As the room temperature approaches the set temperature, the fan speed will automatically slow down to its
minimum speed.
• The fan remains operating at minimum speed unless the room temperature decreases to 3deg below the set
temperature.
• If the room temperature reaches 3 deg. below the set temperature, the fan switches off and the unit is in
stand-by mode.
• The fan will restart if the room temperature increases to 1 deg. below the set temperature.
• After one hour in stand-by mode the unit will turn off.
A temperature that is set at an unrealistically low level will not be achieved, due to the limitations of evaporative
air conditioning. A low temperature setting causes the system to operate at maximum fan speed continuously.
If either “AC”, “AF” or “AE” are displayed and the fan is not operating, the system is in stand-by mode and the fan
will start when the ambient temperature reaches the “set” temperature.
If only “A” is displayed, the system is in AUTO Mode, but Cool, Fan or Exhaust have not been selected.
The Timer can operate in AUTO Mode. The system switches on, only if the temperature rises above the ‘set’
temperature, and once the Timer period has elapsed.
The temperature displayed is accurate for the purpose of operating the AUTO feature of your air conditioning
system. Do not obstruct the ventilation slots in the keypad base as this may cause an incorrect temperature reading.

SAFETY (BUSHFIRE) MODE
The SAFETY mode allows the water pump to continue to operate to keep the filter media wet while the fan is
switched off to prevent smoke being drawn into the property.
To operate this mode do as follows”
• If the unit is Off press the “COOL” button twice. The letter “P” (flashing) will be displayed.
• If the unit is operating in COOL mode, press the COOL button again to enter SAFETY mode.
• To turn off SAFETY mode, press the COOL button again. The unit reverts to COOL mode and the “P” on the
keypad display will be replaced with a “C”.
WATER MANAGER PERIODIC DRAIN TIME
The unique Coolbreeze Water Management System has been developed to ensure only fresh, filtered cool air
enters the property while saving water and reducing maintenance requirements. The System has a default five
hour drain cycle. This five hour drain cycle is adequate for most water supplies.
To change the drain cycle do as follows:
• Press OFF
• Press and hold AUTO button
• Press TIMER until required time is reached
• Release AUTO
• Press OFF
• Press AUTO. (“A” on the left of display will now disappear) The periodic drain cycle has now been altered to
the displayed time.
It is advisable to have regular drain cycles to maintain water purity and cooling efficiency.
CALIBRATING THE TEMPERATURE SENSOR
(Recommended for Service Technicians only)
When the unit is off, the ambient room temperature is
displayed. If this temperature is not accurate, it can be re-
set:
The temperature
sensor pot is
located on
the right
hand side of
the keypad
15mm from
the lower
edge
Using a calibrated thermometer, compare the displayed
temperature against the thermometer.
Use a small screwdriver to adjust the temperature
sensor which is located on the lower right side of
the control panel.
Place the screwdriver in the slot of the
temperature
sensor and turn several times
(clockwise to increase the reading), there is a time
lag between the turning of the pot and the
keypad display changing so wait for the
temperature reading on the keypad to change. This
process may need to be repeated several times
before the desire temperature is attained.
