INTRODUCTION
Your ducted evaporative air conditioner is engineered to meet the rigors of our harsh Australian
environment. Operated and maintained in accordance with this manual, it will provide you with years of
cool and environmentally friendly operation. Please take the time to read this manual.
The principal of your unit is to introduce fresh air, which is washed through the filter pads to provided cool
fresh air. The air is relieved taking with it any heat loading on the home.
E XHAUST
It is essential for successful operation of evaporative air-conditioning that there to be sufficient relief
openings in the area to be ventilated. Open doors and windows will usually provide this.
The minimum relief opening should be as per the table guide set out below. It is recommended that
ceiling vents or exhaust fans be used where there is any doubt about there being sufficient relief area
available. Ceiling exhaust fans or ceiling vents should have a capacity equivalent to that of the air
conditioner.

WATER MANAGEMENT
D IALFLO
BLEED OFF
All evaporative air conditioners need some water bleed-off
to prevent build-up of mineral deposits in the system. The
correct setting of the bleed rate will ultimately govern the
life of the unit.
With normal town water supply, in good water quality areas,
bleed rate should be adjusted so that the discharge is not
less than 10 litres per hour subject to unit size. Increased
water hardness may require a higher bleed rate and
increased maintenance.
Setting the BLEED OFF Rate
To set the bleed rate, locate the patented DIALFLO
externally on one of the corner posts. Rotate the BLEED
knob clockwise for more flow and anti clockwise.
NOTE: Hold the distribution knob (Filler) while setting the
bleed rate as the distribution flow rate may go out of
adjustment.
It is recommended that the bleed water is plumbed away to
waste in accordance with local and state plumbing
requirements.
Setting the Water Distribution Flow Rate
To set the water distribution flow rate to the filter pads,
rotate filter knob anti-clockwise for more water and
clockwise for less water. To control bleed-off rate rotate
bleed dial clockwise for more water and anti-clockwise for
less water.
NOTE: Hold the bleed knob while setting the distribution
rate as the bleed rate may go out of adjustment.
A QUAMISER
The Aquamiser operates as a dumping valve. Whenever the
fill valve is de-energised or energised, the dump motor is
driven open or closed.
When the Aquamiser is fitted, bleed off may not be required
in some areas, however it is the responsibility of the dealer
/ installer to correctly determine for your location.
Drainage from the Aquamiser needs also to be plumbed
away in accordance with local and state plumbing
requirements. Its Climate Technologies recommendation
that the drain form the Aquamiser is plumbed to waste.

DUCTED EVAPORATIVE AIR CONDITIONER MAINTENANCE
G ENERAL
All Ducted Evaporative Air Conditioners require some general maintenance to ensure continued cooling
efficiency and a long life. Maintenance is carried out at the beginning and end of summer to start up and
close down your unit.
We recommend that all maintenance work be undertaken by our fully trained and accredited Service
Technicians or an authorised Climate Technologies Service Provider.
The frequency of general maintenance will depend on local operating conditions such as water quality, air
borne dust and pollen.
It is essential that your evaporative air conditioner is maintained in accordance with this manual. Failure to
do so will affect the life of the product, reduce the level of efficiency and may void warranty.
For service Australia wide refer to the details on the service section of this manual.
NOTE: The manufacturer and its agents reserve the right to refuse service unless safety and accessibility
to the unit can be guaranteed. The cost of any extra equipment required to provide access to the
unit for servicing is the responsibility of the owner.
SAFETY: Prior to co encing any aintenance isolate the unit at the power source. Ensure the
roof is safe to access, your ladder is securely positioned and use suitable safety
equip ent.
F ILTER P ADS
Visually check CELDEK pads for damage or blockage. Hose down pads from both sides to remove any
build up of salts, dust and pollen. In dusty areas more regular cleaning is recommended. Check the water
distributor, making sure it is clear and free from blockage. Failure to do so may lead to uneven water
distribution and therefore less efficient operation.
W ATER T ANK
It is important to keep the water tank clean and free from sediment and algae growth. To clean the tank,
use a soft brush or similar. Wipe all surfaces in the tank while it is full of water (DO NOT FORGET THE
PUMP STRAINER). Turn off the water inlet to the unit (an Isolation Valve should be fitted to the water inlet
before the Float Valve). Drain the tank. It may be necessary to repeat this procedure if the tank is very
dirty.
SAFETY: Wet roofs are dangerous – Take Care When Draining Tank.
W ATER L EVEL / F LOAT V ALVE
The water level should be set at nominal 65-70mm before filter pads are saturated. After run off from
operating filters the level should be 5 – 30mm from the top of the Aquamiser overflow. The float valve is
a mechanical type and is factory set. If the valve is leaking, the seal may require cleaning or replacing.
Turn of the water. Remove the split pin and then float arm. Remove piston and clean or turn seal. Flush
system and replace piston, float arm and split pin.
NOTE: Water supply line to float valve must be flushed before connecting.
