RTX2000, SPX1200IC Technical description
7
5 Technical description
The parking cooler can be used for conditioning inside the vehicle. The air in the inte-
rior is guided into the system through the intake grille, cooled, dried and conveyed
back into the interior through the blower nozzles.
In BOOST mode, the parking cooler cools the vehicle interior for not more than
20 minutes at maximum power and then switches to AUTO mode. When the set
temperature is reached, the parking cooler switches to AUTO mode before the
20 minutes is reached.
In AUTO mode, the fan and compressor speed are controlled automatically.
In ECO mode the fan and compressor speed are controlled automatically. The com-
pressor power is limited in ECO mode electronically.
The system is controlled using the control panel or the remote control.
I
The system is fitted with a battery monitor. If the system is operated when the vehicle
ignition is switched off, the system switches off automatically as soon as the supply
voltage falls below a set level.
I
NOTE
The parking cooler can lower the temperature within the vehicle to a cer-
tain level. The temperature depends on the type of vehicle, the ambient
temperature and the cooling capacity of your parking cooler. For the
cooling capacity of your parking cooler, chapter “Technical data” on
page 27.
NOTE
This set level can be changed. For this, please contact the specialised
company that installed the system.

7.1 Tip for improved use
I
Observe the following instructions to ensure your CoolAir parking cooler is used
efficiently.
It is recommended that you
• Park your vehicle in the shade when possible.
• Shade your vehicle when possible.
• If you do not have a vehicle air conditioning system, air out your vehicle well
before using the parking cooler. You should always cool down the vehicle
interior before a rest period using the vehicle air conditioning system.
• Keep doors and windows closed.
• Avoid any heat sources in the vehicle.
• Reduce the power consumed by other products to ensure the maximum
possible operating time of the parking cooler.
NOTE
You can find full details of the display messages in the chapter “Display
messages” on page 20.
NOTICE!
• The manufacturer assumes no liability for non-observance of this
operating manual, in particular for any consequential damage,
especially consequential damage caused by failure of the parking
cooler.
• Do not insert foreign objects into the system.
NOTE
In EX/III and FL vehicles, the parking cooler can be shut off via a battery
master switch in case of emergency.
NOTE
The CoolAir parking coolers are designed as air conditioners for relaxing
rest periods. They can be used while driving, however they are not
designed to replace the engine-powered vehicle air conditioning
system.

• Select a suitable temperature and operating mode.
• Make sure the blower nozzles (fig. 11, page 3) and intake grille (fig. 12,
page 3) are not covered by cloths, paper or other objects.
• The best cooling capacity is achieved when the blower nozzles (fig. 11,
page 3) are not directed towards the intake grille (fig. 12, page 3).
Always observe the following
• If you would like the parking cooler to match the colour of your vehicle, only paint
the upper shell casing of the parking cooler.
Only paint this when it has been removed. Use light colours when possible.
• Wash your vehicle regularly, as dirty driver's cabs heat up more quickly.
• Make sure that the performance of the parking cooler is not affected by other
sources of heat (e.g. waste heat from cold machines).
7.2 Switching on the parking cooler
