Introduction
These operating instructions have been written for drivers, operators and the maintenance staff of
your air conditioning unit.
In this context, we refer implicitly to the compliance with our general installation guidelines.
These can be obtained from the KONVEKTA technical after sales service:
[e-mail].
Please observe our valid safety instructions, available under www.konvekta.de/asv.html. In
case of order placement or any other conclusion of contract the safety instructions get inte-
gral part of the contract.
These operating instructions have to be read carefully and made use of before the first start-up and
after that regularly by each person who is involved in handling the machine:
•Operation including troubleshooting and waste disposal of fuels and auxiliary agents.
•Servicing, inspection, repair
•Transport
This facilitates the handling and avoids trouble caused by improper operation. Working in compli-
ance with these operating instructions increases operation reliability and service life of the air condi-
tioning unit and reduces life cycle costs.
Please complete these instructions by adding the national provisions for prevention
of accidents and environmental protection.
These instructions are part of the air conditioning unit. Always have a copy at hand
in the driver’s cabin.
You will certainly understand that we will not recognize any warranty claims due to improper han-
dling, inadequate maintenance, applications that do not correspond with the determined use, utiliza-
tion of non-admitted fuels or the non-observance of safety provisions.
KONVEKTA will annul without notice all obligations concerning guarantee, service contracts etc.
regardless if granted by KONVEKTA or its distributors in case other than original KONVEKTA
spare parts or parts bought from KONVEKTA AG have been used for maintenance and repair.
These operating instructions contain all necessary information to operate your air conditioning unit.
In case you need more explanations please contact the next KONVEKTA service station.

Important!
In vehicles that are equipped with an a/c unit with heating function the heating medium has to con-
sist of water/glycol – antifreeze protection (conform the mixing ratio to manufacturers` instructions).
This is absolutely necessary to prevent the heaters from frost damage!
(The prevalent antifreeze filling of the vehicle manufacturers goes down to -40°C.)
1.1. Compressor type KVX
Carry out the first oil change with the first maintenance, then every 3 years. Also clean the oil intake
strainer. The oil charge is dependent on the compressor type (see table).

Important:
To avoid leakages at the shaft seal of the compressor:
The compressor should be started every 4 weeks for approx. 15 minutes!
This also applies when the vehicle is not into operation for a longer period or when the air condition-
ing unit is not used!
2. Intended Use
The KONVEKTA air conditioning unit is an air conditioning system that works with the ozone friendly
refrigerant R134a and which creates a pleasant and individually adjustable room temperature by
means of forced convection. The determined use includes also the observance of the operating in-
structions as well as the proof of regular inspections.
2.1. Generally information for a/c unit
Attention in case of roof top a/c units: Never switch on the a/c unit during car-
wash!
−The a/c unit is operational with running engine only.
−At cooling operation the humidity inside the vehicle is decreased, which avoids steamed up win-
dows.
−The a/c unit works most effectively with windows and doors shut. If, however, the interior of the
standing vehicle has been heated up severely by exposure to sunlight, short-time opening of
windows and doors may accelerate the cooling down process.
−At high outside temperature and humidity condensate might drip off the evaporator and make a
puddle under the vehicle. This is quite normal and no sign for a leakage.
−The filter in the return air grid (optional) retains pollution. If the external air is contaminated with
gas switch over to return air operation. The filter should be cleaned or replaced respectively on a
regular basis so that the capacity of the a/c unit is not affected.
−If you think that the air conditioning unit has been damaged switch it off immediately in order to
avoid further damage. The air conditioning unit may be taken into operation again only after it has
been checked at a KONVEKTA Service Station.

2.2. Operating Conditions
NOTE: KONVEKTA uses components made of copper and aluminium, which last a whole unit life-
time under normal environmental conditions. Should the units be operated under aggressive envi-
ronmental conditions, i.e. air containing salt-, phosphate- or ammoniac extremely, a corrosion of the
cupper- and aluminium components cannot be ruled out. The cupper- and aluminium components of
the KONVEKTA systems are not suitable for such extreme application conditions. We indicate em-
phatically, that corrosion is not subject to warranties for defects. KONVEKTA does not take over any
warranties for defect, neither for corrosion nor for consequential damage resulting there from, nor
for damages caused by cleaning the systems with highly compressed or corrosion advancing sub-
stances.
3. General notes on the control unit KS55-Basic
The KS55 is a climate controller for air condition-
ing systems in modern vehicles. Due to its com-
pact design the controller can be mounted easily
in the dash board of the vehicle. The clear ar-
rangement of the symbols and the easy handling
relieve the driver and meet all demands of opti-
mal air conditioning control.
4. Operation
Danger of accidents!
•Focussing your attention on the road traffic is of top priority.
•Only operate your air conditioning unit when the traffic situation allows it!
•Make sure you can clearly recognize and read all operation- and display-elements at any time.
•Protect all displays against irritating sun glare and any other optical disturbances.
•Please note that the control panel keys have not been designed for heavy stressing.
•Excessive or fast pressing of the keys for adjusting the set temperature does not accelerate the
cooling down process. It possibly damages the control panel and so affects the general perfor-
mance of the air conditioning unit.

Danger of accidents!
Qualified staff in charge of installation and maintenance have to be trained in accordance with EN
378-Part 4 and (EC) No.307/2008 and must strictly follow the legal provisions.
Any works or modifications at the air conditioner which are carried out improperly can lead to mal-
function and so endanger operational reliability. We recommend having all works and modifications
carried out at an authorized KONVEKTA Service Station.
Before carrying out any maintenance works at your air conditioning unit, carefully read the
KONVEKTA safety provisions (TD00052A

) in order to avoid any dangers and accidents!
