A FEW WORDS ABOUT YOUR NEW
AIR CONDITIONING UNIT
2
Thank you for choosing the Air V, Carrier Recreational Vehicle Air Conditioner, for your comfort needs.
You can feel confident in your selection because the same pride in craftsmanship and engineering knowledge
that goes into Carrier equipment to cool the Astrodome in Texas, the famous Sistine Chapel in Rome,
the Washington DC Halls of Congress and thousands of other installations worldwide has gone
into the construction of your unit.
In addition to cooling the room, your Carrier heat pump unit will also heat, filter and dehumidify the room’s air.
In heating mode, the heat pump will shut down at conditions which would cause outdoor coil freeze up, generally
near freezing temperatures.
The Air V air conditioners quietly give you maximum cooling and heating comfort.
Now you can “ Feel Carrier’s Comfort” !
This manual is designed to help you with all the information you need for installing, operating and maintaining your
new unit. In addition, this contains many comforts and technological features your unit offers. Take a few minutes to
discover how to get the most in cooling or heating comfort and economic operation from your new Air V.
Please keep this manual handy for future reference, and be sure to send in your warranty card.
You can also contact us by the internet web site,

•When the air conditioner does not operate normally after replacing the batteries, remove the batteries,
refit them and repress the RST button after 5 seconds.
NOTE
Signal Receiving
Use the remote control where its signal can reach the receiver of the air conditioner.
- You can hear the beeping sound from the unit in the remote control operation, which indicates that
the signal is received.
Remove the cover of the battery compartment at the back of the remote control by sliding it out.
Remove the old batteries and insert the new batteries. The remote control uses two alkaline batteries.

•The air conditioner will not operate if curtains, doors or other materials block the signals from the remote control to
the unit.
•If the infrared signal receiver on the unit is exposed to direct sunlight, the air conditioner may not work properly.
Draw the curtains to avoid direct sunlight.
•Avoid spilling liquid onto the remote control or dropping it. This can cause deformation, dislocation and malfunction.
•A mounting bracket for the remote control is supplied with the unit. Install the mounting bracket on the wall by
using two sharp point wood screws and/or double sided tape attached on the back of the bracket. This prevents
the remote control from being lost.

PROCEDURE

OWNER’S GUIDE - 9
Moving parts can cause personal injury. Be careful when test-running the unit.
Do not operate the unit with exterior cover removed.
WARNING
BEFORE INSTALLATION
Select the temperature setting that suits your comfort needs and leave it at that chosen setting.
Keep the unit’s air filters clean. (See the Normal Maintenance Procedures section of this manual on page 19.)
During extreme outdoor temperatures, the heat gain of the vehicle may be reduced by:
- parking the vehicle in a shaded area
- keeping the windows and doors closed
- avoiding the use of heat producing appliances
- using window shades (binds and/or curtains)
For a more permanent solution to reduce the high heat gain, window awnings and/or window glass tinting
should be considered.
When using the heating system, the heat loss of the vehicle may be reduced by:
- parking the vehicle in a sunny area
- keeping the windows and doors closed
- avoiding the use of heat absorbing appliances
Test run the unit with proper power supply outlet. Refer to the Operating Instructions section in this Owner’s Guide.
Make sure all the controls operate correctly then disconnect the power supply of the unit.

Provided with the ceiling assembly frame is a tele-
scoping divider assembly which is used to sepa-
rate the warm return air from the cold supply air.
The telescoping divider size is determined by mea-
suring the ceiling cavity depth. (the measurement
from the ceiling to the roof)
The ceiling assembly frame must be installed over
the roof opening. The ceiling assembly frame bolts
to the bottom of the roof top unit. Compression of
the framed ceiling cavity between the roof top
unit and the ceiling assembly frame is what holds
both components in place.
