1.2 General safety instructions
Mainsconnection:
The SunCoolTM units have been designed for varous mains
voltages.
•230 V ± 10%, 50 Hz
•115 V ± 10%, 60 Hz
The mains voltage used for the connection must comply
with the ratings on the nameplate of the unit.
Disposal:
•Please discard the packaging materials in accordan-
ce with existing disposal directives.
•Discarded units contain reusable materials. Therefore,
before discarding units, ask your local magistrate or
community office about the possibilities of recycling.
Specialwaste:
Please note that the coolant in SunCoolTM units must be
disposed of by a special refrigeration company.
1Safety instructions
Correctusage:
•The SunCoolTM is used to supply SUNTEST weathering
units with constantly conditioned cooling air.
•The SunCoolTM is suited for permanent operation.
•The SunCoolTM can be operated in enclosed spaces,
despite the hot exhaust air that is generated there.
The hot exhaust air increases the room temperature.
•To ensure constant room temperature, the unit may be
connectedto anaspieation system.The minimum aspi-
ration capacity of that system must not be lower than
520 m3/h.
Incorrectusage:
•The SunCoolTM must not be used for drying, cooling or
heating items or food.
•The SunCoolTM isnot suited for use in areas with explo-
sion hazard.
•Make sure the ventilations grids are not blocked.

2Scope of delivery and equipment
Figure2
Figure12.1 Scope of delivery
The SunCoolTM units are available in four different versions.
The supply voltages of the chillers are classified in accor-
dance with the weathering units SUNTEST CPS /CPS+
and SUNTEST XLS / XLS+.
After unpacking the unit, check to see if the supply voltage
complies with the voltage on the nameplate of the unit.
For SUNTEST CPS / CPS+:
SunCoolTM with 115V / 60Hz supply voltage
SunCoolTM with 230V / 50Hz supply voltage
For SUNTEST XLS / XLS+:
SunCoolTM with 115V / 60Hz supply voltage
SunCoolTM with 230V / 50Hz supply voltage
Connection line:
The connection line is used to control the SunCoolTM by
using the program control of the SUNTEST CPS+ or SUN-
TEST XLS+.
Dummy plug:
The SunCoolTM is equipped with a dummy plug to be used
if the SunCoolTM is operated with the SUNTEST CPS or
SUNTEST XLS (without program control).
PVCadhesivetape:
PVC adhesive tape is used to attach the connector to the
connection socket and pipe bend.
2.2 Optional equipment
The optional connection set connects the SunCoolTM to
the SUNTEST weathering unit.
For each SUNTEST version, a unit-specific connection set
is available that may be routed to the right or downward:
•A, connection set SUNTEST CPS / CPS+
•B, connection set SUNTEST XLS / XLS+

3.1 Description of the unit
Frontsideoftheunit:
•Control panel 1with switches for setting fan speed
and cooling performance.
•Air inlet opening 2with grid and air filter.
•Air outlet opening 3.
Upperandrightsideoftheunit:
•Ventilation slots 4for ventilation of the unit.
•Powet supply line 5.
Rearsideoftheunit:
•Air outlet opening for hot exhaust air.
Connectionset(Example:SUNTESTCPS/CPS+):
•The connection set6is used to connect the SunCoolTM
to the SUNTEST weathering unit. For each SUNTEST
version, a unit-specific connection set is available (see
section 2.2, "Optional equipment").
Connection line and dummy plug:
•If the SunCoolTM is operated in connection with a SUN-
TEST CPS+ or XLS+, the chiller is controlled by the
program control of the weathering unit. For this purpo-
se, the two units are interconnected with the connec-
tion line 7.
•If the SunCoolTM is operated in connection with a SUN-
TEST CPS or XLS (without program control), a dummy
plug 8is used for the SunCoolTM instead of the con-
nection line.
