I. Introduction
Kooltronic Air Conditioners are designed to provide a cool, dehumidified environment for
your electronic components. There are models to fit virtually all sizes and shapes of
electronic enclosures, in capacities ranging from 1,000 to 30,000 BTU/H. Our
"closed-loop" design also ensures that your components will not be exposed to hot, dirty
operating conditions.
This Manual provides you with the necessary general information for properly installing
and operating standard Kooltronic Air Conditioners. Technical data and mounting
instructions are presented on pages 7 through 9.

II. Incoming Inspection
Kooltronic Air Conditioners are designed, built and packaged to withstand the shock and vibration normally
associated with shipment by common carriers. Occasionally improper handling during shipping causes damage.
Such handling could include unbanding of palletized shipments, failing to respect "This Side Up" arrows, rough
handling, falling off conveyors, excessive vibration, crushing, etc. Therefore, a thorough inspection should be
done upon receipt of all shipments. Any carton tears, dents, scratches, loose articles or evidence of oil are signs
of damage and should be noted on the Freight Bill. Cartons should be opened promptly and the units inspected
for CONCEALED DAMAGE. Kooltronic Air Conditioners must be delivered in the proper mounting position to
assure that damage to the compressor has not occurred during shipping. Any Kooltronic Air Conditioner that is
delivered removed from the banded pallet, lying down or double stacked should be refused.
An immediate claim MUST be filed with the freight carrier and an inspection requested. Retain all packing
materials. Kooltronic cannot assume responsibility for Consignee's failure to file a timely freight claim.
III. Product Handling:
1) Do not attempt to operate your Kooltronic Air Conditioner until you read and thoroughly understand this
Manual. See section VI PRE-INSTALLATION TESTING.
2) Before operating the Kooltronic Air Conditioner be certain that it is placed in its correct mounting position.
This Air Conditioner is designed to operate in a vertical position only. This placement must be done
a minimum of 5 minutes prior to operating in order to allow the compressor oil to drain to the compressor
sump area.
CAUTION
3) Before operating this unit, all electrical wiring must be checked to assure the proper connection to the correct
power source. Minimum circuit ampacity should be at least 125% of the amperage found on the nameplate
for the corresponding voltage. Do not exceed the maximum fuse size found on the nameplate.
4) We do not recommend that Air Conditioners be shipped to their final destination attached to an enclosure. In
the event that the Air Conditioner needs to be shipped attached to an enclosure it is strongly recommended
that proper support be provided for the Air Conditioner. Excessive vibration can occur if Air Conditioners are
not properly supported when shipped on enclosures, increasing the potential for internal damage and voiding
the warranty.
5) PROCEDURE FOR PROPER PACKING AND SHIPMENT OF KOOLTRONIC AIR
CONDITIONERS:
■Keep Air Conditioner in proper upright position indicated by arrow markers.
■Pack Air Conditioner in an appropriate carton (preferably original carton if possible), with adequate
internal protective packaging, making sure carton is marked and is kept in correct upright position.
■For local, controlled transportation, strap carton to a secure part of truck to prevent falling or
sliding, minimize vibration, etc.
■For common carrier shipment, band unit(s) securely to a pallet. Unpalleted shipment risks
severe damage which voids the warranty.
Kooltronic Air Conditioners must be operated in their proper mounting position. If attempts are
made to operate a unit that is not in its designed mounting position, permanent compressor
damage will occur. This action will void the warranty. To avoid compressor damage do not tip the
unit more than 45° from its proper mounting position.

Kooltronic Air Conditioners are required when the equipment operating temperature must be kept near or lower
than the ambient room temperature, and/or the cabinet must be sealed from dust, fumes, oil, corrosives
and other contaminants. This Air Conditioner utilizes a "Closed-Loop Cooling System" to ensure optimum
performance of the installed components.
Closed-Loop cooling seals the electrical enclosure from hostile elements in the environment. Two separate
circulation systems are employed. The internal system cools and dehumidifies the air inside the cabinet,
totally isolating the sensitive electronics and other components from the environment. The external system
uses circulating ambient air or water to discharge the heat removed from the electronics.The heat is dissipated
from the enclosure by means of the vapor compression refrigeration cycle. This takes place in a hermetically-
sealed refrigeration system, utilizing either an air-cooled or water-cooled condenser heat exchanger. The warm
air inside the enclosure is drawn through the evaporator coil where it is cooled, dehumidified and returned.
Any enclosure moisture accumulated on the evaporator coil is collected in the condensate tray and released to
the ambient air through the drain tube or the condensate evaporator.
The heat removed through the evaporator coil is transferred by the compressed refrigerant to the condenser
coil. Ambient air or water is then passed through the condenser coil, where it absorbs the heat and is then
discharged to the environment.
Kooltronic Air Conditioners are designed to operate continuously in order to eliminate compressor cycling,
which shortens compressor life and causes line transients. The cool air discharge temperature is regulated by
the capacity control (hot gas bypass) valve. The unit is equipped with a Low Temperature Thermostat to prevent
over-cooling. In applications having frequent voluntary or involuntary power interruptions, an optional
Compressor Short Cycle Protector is recommended to allow adequate time for the internal pressures of the Air
Conditioner to equalize before restarting.

VI. Pre-Installation Testing
Before mounting the air conditioner to the enclosure, test for proper operation. This
will verify the shipping integrity of the system. Please follow the steps below prior to
installation.
CAUTION
1. Allow the unit to sit in an upright position at a room temperature of 65°F minimum,
allowing the system to warm-up, particularly in winter months.
2. Refer to the nameplate for proper electrical voltage and current requirements. Then
connect the power cord to a properly grounded and fused electrical supply. Leave the
electrical power off.
3. Note the factory thermostat setting which is typically 75 to 80°F.
4. Adjust thermostat to its maximum setting.
5. If your unit is equipped with an on-off switch, move it to the on position.
6. Turn electrical power on.
7. Verify that the evaporator blower or fan is running.
8. Adjust the thermostat to its minimum setting. The compressor should start. On units
equipped with a short cycle protector, the compressor will have a delayed start of 6
minutes from the time power is applied to the unit.
9. Verify that the condenser blower or fan is running. Note, on units equipped with a low
ambient kit, the start of the condenser fan or blower will be delayed until the system
pressures rise.
10. Operate the air conditioner for approximately ten (10) minutes. During this period no
unusual noise or vibration should be evident. Both the evaporator and condenser fans
or blowers should be delivering air through their respective discharge ports. The cool
air discharged should be less than 70°F when the room temperature is between 70
and 80°F.
11. On units equipped with heaters, adjust both the cooling and heating thermostats to
their maximum settings. Verify that the compressor and condenser fan or blower has
stopped. Verify elevated discharge air temperature from the evaporator air discharge.
12. If your unit is equipped with an on-off switch, leave it in the on position. Return the
cooling thermostat to its original setting. If unit is equipped with a heater, return the
heating thermostat to its original position.
13. Turn off the electrical power source, and disconnect the air conditioner from the power
source.
14. If any cover plug is removed to adjust the unit, make certain to put back in place to
maintain the integrity of the closed-loop airflow system.
NOTE: Before shipment all Kooltronic, Inc. Air Conditioners are subjected to a
performance test.
The Air Conditioner must be standing in its proper mounting position for a
minimum of five (5) minutes prior to testing. Failure to follow this procedure
will cause permanent damage to the compressor.

VII. Specific Model Data
Mounting
Kooltronic Air Conditioners have been engineered to be installed easily. To avoid damaging your Air
Conditioner, please read the following information before installation:
1. Remove and save the four screws holding the Mounting Template and Assembly Bracket
(M/TAB) to the unit. Remove the M/TAB.
2. See Figure 1 for proper M/TAB orientation.Place the M/TAB flush against the outside of the
cabinet to locate cutouts and mounting holes.
3. NOTE: The top cutout for the warm air return does not have to match the full 9" opening on
the M/TAB.You can locate your cutout anywhere within this opening. Locate your cutout close
to the top and not less than 3" high. Make sure the cutouts don't interfere with components
inside your cabinet.
4. Mount the M/TAB to the outside of the cabinet using all the mounting hardware supplied by
Kooltronic (1/4-20 screws/nuts/washers). NOTE: Make sure the screws are inserted with heads
on M/TAB side. Tighten nuts securely.
5. Route the power cord through the top cut out in your cabinet. Mount the unit to the M/TAB by
sliding the studs located on each side panel into the slots on the M/TAB.
6. Insert the remaining 10-32 screws and seal washers supplied by Kooltronic through the Air
Conditioner side panel and into the M/TAB. To avoid misalignment of parts do not tighten any
of the screws until they are all installed. Be careful not to overtighten the screws.
7. Attach overflow drain hose supplied to the drain exit in the side or bottom of the unit. This hose
must not be elevated above the exit port. Improper mounting will impede the flow of conden-
sate and may cause internal malfunctions.
CAUTION
If the Air Conditioner is mounted to the cabinet door you must be sure
that the door hinges will support the additional weight of the Air
Conditioner. Also be certain that when the door is opened fully, the
cabinet does not become unbalanced. The actual weight of the unit can
be found in the performance specifications.

VIII. Maintenance
Kooltronic Water-Cooled Air Conditioners require no maintenance. Air-Cooled Air
Conditioners are designed to require only the routine cleaning of air filters to assure
unimpeded airflow through the condenser heat exchanger. It is not possible to
recommend specific filter cleaning intervals since the level and the nature of airborne
particulate matter differs widely with each installation. It is generally sufficient to remove
and wash the reusable aluminum mesh air filters when the outer surfaces of these filters
appear covered with a thin layer of dust or lint. Filter recoating adhesive is recommended.
Appropriate disposable filters are available from Kooltronic.
If filter service is neglected or delayed, the air conditioner will not perform at its design
capacity. The first indication of excessively clogged air filters is usually a gradual
increase of temperature within the equipment cabinet. If operation is continued under
these conditions, the compressor will be shut off by the thermal overload device. The
compressor will restart when its external temperature drops below the protector threshold
setting and the compressor will continue to cycle on and off. Continued operation under
these conditions will cause damage, shorten compressor life and void the warranty.
A. Filter Removal and Service
Kooltronic Air Conditioners feature an easily removable inlet filter to facilitate
necessary cleaning.
CAUTION
1) Lift the filter using the attached tab to clear the lower filter retainer.
2) After removal, the filters should be flushed under warm running water with
the clean side up, driving contaminants out the dirty side of the filter. If the
accumulated dirt is oily, washing in a detergent bath is recommended, followed
by a warm water rinse as above.
3) The filters may be sprayed with Kooltronic A-16 Filter Recoating Adhesive to
trap fine airborne contaminants, or they may simply be dried and reinstalled as
strainer type filters. Recoating is recommended for best results.
4) Reinstall the filter: (a) keeping the tab at the bottom, slide filter into the upper
retainer, (b) press filter against the unit and, (c) slide down into lower retainer.
Do not operate the Air Conditioner for extended periods of time with the
filter removed. The condenser coil may become clogged with dust or
lint from the air entering the face. A clogged condenser coil is not
readily detected and will give the same reaction as a clogged filter. A
clean filter is the best protection.
