IBIS4 Intended use
6 Intended use
The IBIS4 air conditioner is designed for installation on the roof of a caravan or
recreational vehicle to provide reverse cycle heating and cooling. The device is
intended for vehicles with roofs that are from 20 to 100 mm thick. The device
must be installed so that it is within ±10° of the horizontal plane. It is not suitable
for houses and apartments.
The roof air conditioner is not suitable for installation in construction machines,
agricultural machines or similar equipment. It will not work properly if exposed
to strong vibrations.
The function of the roof air conditioner is guaranteed for temperatures between
–2 °C and 52 °C.

7Labels
Labels are attached to the IBIS4 roof air conditioners. These labels provide the
user and fitter with information on specifications of the device.
The roof air conditioner label is located on the side of the electronics box and can
be seen through the side vent. The ADB label is located inside the centre cover.
NOTE
You can find additional information on roof air conditioners in the operating
manual, such as the technical description or the controls.

CAUTION! Beware of injury
The roof air conditioner may only be installed by qualified personnel. The fol-
lowing information is intended for technicians who are familiar with the guide-
lines and safety precautions to be applied.
DANGER! Danger of electrocution
Disconnect all power supplies when working on the roof air conditioner.
CAUTION! Beware of injury
•Improper installation of the roof air conditioner can result in irreparable
damage to the device and put the safety of the user at risk.
•The manufacturer assumes no liability for malfunctions and for the safety of
the roof air conditioner, especially for injury and/or damage to property, if
the roof air conditioner is not fitted in accordance with these installation
instructions.
•Always wear the recommended protective clothing (e.g. protective gog-
gles, gloves).
NOTICE! Beware of damage
•Observe the structural engineering of the vehicle and seal of all openings
made when installing the roof air conditioner.
•Check whether the roof of the vehicle is able to support the weight of a per-
son before climbing onto it. Ask the vehicle manufacturer about the permis-
sible roof loads.

Note on transport
•Pay attention to the orientation of the up arrows on the carton. Do not install
the unit if it has been upside down for any period of time (fig. 4A).
•Always have someone help you carry the roof air conditioner.
•Always lift the roof air conditioner to move it and never drag it over the roof
(fig. 4B).
•Do not use the ventilation slots to lift it (fig. 4C).
Note on installation location
•Before installing the roof air conditioner, check whether any vehicle compo-
nents could be damaged by the installation of the roof air conditioner (such
as lamps, cupboards, doors).
•Before installation, find out (by consulting the manufacturer of the vehicle)
whether the construction is designed for the static weight and the loads of
the air conditioner when the vehicle is in motion. The manufacturer of the roof
air conditioner assumes no liability whatsoever.
•The vehicle manufacturer may have already provided points where the open-
ing for the installation of the roof air conditioner can be made without any risk
of weakening the construction or cutting power cables.
•Select a flat and sufficiently level area at the centre of the vehicle roof
between two longitudinal sections for installation.
•The roof inclination of the installation surface may not exceed 10°.

•Make sure no combustible objects are stored or installed near the air outlet.
A distance of at least 50 cm should be kept.
•Make sure that there are no objects within the vehicle which could obstruct
the attachment of the air outlet unit or the cooled air from flowing through the
swivelling air distribution nozzles.
•For safety reasons, note the location of existing wiring harnesses, wires and
other components within the installation area, in particular those which are
not visible, when installing the roof air conditioner (when drilling or screwing
etc.).
Note on electrical system
•The appliance shall be installed in accordance with national wiring regula-
tions.
•Only a qualified electrician should connect the roof air conditioner to the
electrical power.
•Check that the voltage specification on the type plate is the same as that of
the power supply.
•Do not lay cables which are loose or bent next to electrically conductive
material (metal).
•Install an all-pole switch with a contact opening width of at least 3 mm on the
installation side.
•Ensure that the mains voltage supply has a residual current circuit breaker.
•Make sure that the grounding cable of the air conditioner is connected to the
vehicle‘s grounding system.
There are two ways of installing the roof air conditioner:
•Making a new opening (chapter “Making a new opening” on page 11). In this
case the opening must be reinforced by an appropriate frame.
•Using an existing opening in the vehicle such as a roof hatch or replacing an
old air conditioner (chapter “Installing in an existing opening” on page 12).

The roof air conditioner must be connected to an electric circuit which is able to
supply the required current (see Technical data in Operating Manual).
➤Select the cross-section of the cable corresponding to the length:
– Length < 7.5 m: 1.5 mm²
– Length > 7.5 m: 2.5 mm²
See fig. a
➤Make an opening on one side in order to feed through the electrical power
supply cable.
➤Feed the mains cable through the opening into the vehicle interior.
8.5 Installing the roof air conditioner ADB
A
NOTICE!
Observe the sealant manufacturer’s instructions.
DANGER! Danger of electrocution
Make sure there is no voltage at electrically operated components before car-
rying out work on them!
NOTICE! Risk of damage
Observe the structural strength of the roof of the vehicle. The roof of the vehicle
must be able to bear the weight of the roof air conditioner. The roof must not
be indented or deformed by the weight of the unit, even over a longer period
of time.
