RECEIVING THE AIR CONDITIONER
Inspect the air conditioner. Check for concealed damage that may have occurred during shipment. Look for
dents, scratches, loose assemblies, etc. Damage evident upon receipt should be noted on the freight bill. Damage
should be brought to the attention of the delivering carrier -- NOT to Pentair Equipment Protection -- within
15 days of delivery. Save the carton and packing material and request an inspection. Then file a claim with the
delivering carrier.
Pentair Equipment Protection cannot accept responsibility for freight damages; however, we will assist you in any
way possible.
HANDLING & TESTING THE AIR CONDITIONER
TEST FOR FUNCTIONALITY BEFORE MOUNTING THE AIR CONDITIONER TO THE ENCLOSURE.
If it is necessary to place the air conditioner in a horizontal position after unpacking, be certain it is placed in an
upright, vertical or mounting position for a minimum of five (5) minutes before operating.
Do not attempt to operate the air conditioner while it is horizontal
or on its side, back or front. The refrigeration compressor is filled
with lubricating oil. This will cause permanent damage to the air
conditioner and also voids the warranty.
CAUTION
Refer to the nameplate for proper electrical current requirements, then connect power cord to a properly
grounded power supply. Minimum circuit ampacity should be at least 125% of the amperage shown in the design
data section for the appropriate model. No other equipment should be connected to this circuit to prevent
overloading.
Connect to clean, pressurized water supply and provide drain.
Operate the air conditioner for five (5) to ten (10) minutes. No excessive noise or vibration should be evident
during this run period. The evaporator blower (enclosure air), and the compressor should be running.
The compressor is provided with automatic reset thermal overload protection. This thermo-switch is located and
mounted inside the plastic enclosure clipped to the compressor. The only time this switch should operate is when
the compressor overheats due to ambient air temperatures exceeding nameplate rating or if enclosure dissipated
heat loads exceed the rated capacity of the air conditioner. The thermal overload switch will actuate and stop
compressor operation. The blower will continue to operate and water will continue to flow for a short period. The
compressor will restart after it has cooled to within the thermal overload cut-in temperature setting.
The unit will also shut down if water supply is interrupted. See WATER USAGE on page 6.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Inspect air conditioner. Verify functionality before mounting the air conditioner, see HANDLING &
TESTING THE AIR CONDITIONER on page 3.
2. Using the cutout dimensions shown in this manual or the cutout template printed on the units
shipping carton, prepare the air “IN” and air “OUT” openings, and mounting bolt hole pattern for
the enclosure.
3. Using the gasket kit provided, install gaskets to air conditioner. See Mounting Gasket on page 5
for proper location.
4. Mount air conditioner on enclosure using mounting bolts and screws provided. “EZ” mount tabs
can be used to hold unit on enclosure while mounting in place. Connect water inlet and outlet
fittings to a clean pressurized water supply. Allow unit to remain upright for a minimum of five (5)
minutes before starting. Caution: Air conditioner must be in upright position during operation.
5. Refer to top of nameplate for electrical requirements. Connect the power cord to a properly
grounded power supply. Use of an extension cord is not recommended. Electrical circuit should be
fused with slow blow or HACR circuit breaker.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
If electrical power to the air conditioner is interrupted and reapplied immediately, (within 3 to 5 seconds), the
compressor may not restart due to the high back pressure of the compressor. It takes a minimum of one (1)
minute after shut-down for the compressor suction and discharge pressures to equalize in order for the air
conditioner to restart.
Operating the air conditioner below the minimum ambient temperature or above the maximum ambient
temperatures indicated on the nameplate voids all warranties.
It is recommended that the warranty section of this manual be read in order to familiarize yourself with
parameters of restricted operation.
The moisture that the enclosure air can contain is limited. If moisture flows from the drain tube continuously this
can only mean that ambient air is entering the enclosure. Be aware that frequent opening of the enclosure’s door
admits humid air which the air conditioner must then dehumidify.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL
The electromechanical thermostat is factory preset to 75 F/23 C. To change the temperature setting, remove the
front cover. Use a standard screwdriver to adjust thermostat. For cooler temperatures turn clockwise, for warmer
temperatures turn counterclockwise.
WATER USAGE
CONDENSER
The water cooled air conditioner uses water as the cooling medium for the condensing side of the hermetic
refrigeration system. This water is passed through a heat exchanger that uses the cool water to lower the
temperature of the hot gaseous refrigerant, causing it to condense. The water is warmed by this exchange of
heat, and is passed out of the air conditioner at an elevated temperature. The inlet and outlet water fittings are
located on the bottom of the air conditioner. A sealant is recommended when connecting the inlet and outlet
water lines to prevent leakage. It is extremely important for the air conditioner to have an uninterrupted supply of
clean cooling water. Interference with the water supply will cause the unit to automatically shut down and require
manual reset.
MANUAL RESET HIGH PRESSURE LIMIT SWITCH
The manual reset high pressure limit switch is located behind the front cover. This limit switch interrupts
compressor operation when condenser refrigerant exceeds 310 PSIG, which most frequently occurs as a result
of the condenser water supply being reduced or shut down. After identifying and correcting the problem with the
water supply to the unit, compressor operation can be restored by pushing the manual reset button located on the
switch.
WATER VALVE
The valve that controls the flow of condensing water is also located behind the front cover. This valve modulates
the flow of water to the condensing coil. Water flow varies according to a variety of loading conditions, including
electrical load, inlet water temperature, ambient air temperature, cabinet construction, etc. The maximum
flow rate in the Design Data on page 4 is given for the conditions of maximum rated load, maximum water
temperature, and maximum ambient temperature, and reflects the highest flow rate anticipated for the unit.
NOTE: This valve has been preset at the factory for the correct operation of the unit. The setting of the valve
should not be altered.
WATER
The air conditioner water supply does not require special treatment, but care should be taken to avoid any gross
contamination. Corrosives may cause leakage within the coil and water lines. Mineral rich water will cause
scaling of the coil, degrading performance. Particulates may cause rapid erosion of the coil, and could result in
clogging of the control valve. NOTE: A filter to clean the air conditioner water supply is recommended.
If the temperature of the inlet water is higher than that shown in the Design Data on page 4, it will result in a
higher flow rate, and may cause shut-down of the unit. High inlet water temperatures should be avoided.
When the air conditioner is shut-down, either because of a thermostatic cut-out or a loss of power, the water
flow should gradually diminish to zero. If water flow persists, it may indicate a malfunction of the control valve.
Information on the specific valve employed is supplied with the air conditioner.

MAINTENANCE
COMPRESSOR
The compressor requires no maintenance. It is hermetically sealed, properly lubricated at the factory and should
provide years of satisfactory operating service.
Should the refrigerant charge be lost, recharging ports (access fittings) on the suction and discharge sides of the
compressor are provided for recharging and/or checking suction and discharge pressures.
Under no circumstances should the access fitting covers be loosened, removed or tampered with.
Breaking of seals on compressor access fittings during warranty period will void warranty on hermetic system.
Recharging ports are provided for the ease and convenience of reputable refrigeration repair service personnel
for recharging the air conditioner.
EVAPORATOR BLOWER
Blower motors require no maintenance. All bearings, shafts, etc. are lubricated during manufacturing for the life
of the motor.
REFRIGERANT LOSS
Each air conditioner is thoroughly tested prior to leaving the factory to insure against refrigeration leaks. Shipping
damage or microscopic leaks not found with sensitive electronic refrigerant leak detection equipment during
manufacture may require repair or recharging of the system. This work should only be performed by qualified
professionals, generally available through a local, reputable air conditioning repair or service company.
Refer to the data on the nameplate which specifies the type of refrigerant and the charge size in ounces.
Before recharging, make sure there are no leaks and that the system has been properly evacuated into a deep
vacuum.
FREEZING AND DRAINING THE SYSTEM
The air conditioner can be severely damaged by freezing if not
properly drained. damage due to freezing is not covered by the
warranty.
WARNING
If the unit is to be shipped to, or stored in an area that experiences climatic extremes, care must be taken to fully
drain the unit to avoid freezing. The location of the drain is shown in the DIMENSIONAL DRAWING on page 4.
To completely drain the unit, it is recommended that 100 psi maximum compressed air be applied to the water
inlet, while lifting the spring of the valve with a screwdriver to allow free passage of water. An alternate means
would be to start the air conditioner and allow the refrigeration system pressure to open the valve while air
pressure is applied to inlet.
