additional drawings for a special unit are necessary, they have been inserted. Contact McLean
Thermal if further information is required.
RECEIVING THE AIR CONDITIONER
Inspect the air conditioner. Check for concealed damage that may have occurred during
shipment. Look for dents, scratches, loose assemblies, evidence of oil, 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 McLean Thermal -- within 15 days of delivery. Save the carton and
packing material and request an inspection. Then file a claim with the delivering carrier.
McLean Thermal cannot accept responsibility for freight damages; however, we will assist you in
any way possible.
HANDLING & TESTING THE AIR CONDITIONER
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.
Never attempt to operate the air conditioner while it is horizontal or on it’s side, back or front. The
refrigeration compressor is filled with lubricating oil. Running the compressor without oil in the
lower part of the housing will cause permanent damage to the air conditioner. This also voids the
warranty.
TEST FOR FUNCTIONALITY BEFORE MOUNTING THE AIR CONDITIONER TO THE
ENCLOSURE.
Refer to 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.

Operate the air conditioner for five (5) to ten (10) minutes. No excessive noise or vibration should
be evident during this run period. The condenser blower (ambient air), the evaporator blower
(enclosure air), and the compressor should be running.
Condenser air temperatures should be warmer than normal room temperatures within a few
minutes.
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 switch
operates when the compressor overheats due to clogged or dirty inlet air filter or if ambient air
temperatures exceed 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 blowers will continue to operate and the compressor will restart after it has cooled
to within the thermal overload cut-in temperature setting.
INSTALLATION
Step 1: Inspect air conditioner. Verify functionality before mounting the air conditioner, see
Handling & Testing the Air Conditioner on page 1.
Step 2: Using the cutout dimensions shown in this manual, prepare the air “IN” and air “OUT”
openings, and mounting bolt hole pattern for the enclosure.
Step 3: Using the gasket kit provided, install gaskets to air conditioner.
Step 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. Allow unit to remain
upright for a minimum of five (5) minutes before starting. Caution: Air conditioner must be in
upright position during operation.
Step 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.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL
The electromechanical thermostat is factory preset to 75oF/23oC. To change the temperature
setting, remove the nylon plug from the front face of the unit. Use a standard screwdriver to
adjust thermostat. For cooler temperatures turn clockwise, for warmer temperatures turn
counterclockwise.
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.
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.
Inlet Air Filter
Proper maintenance of the inlet air filter, located behind the front cover, will assure normal
operation of the air conditioner. If filter maintenance is delayed or ignored, the maximum ambient
temperatures under which the unit is designed to operate will be decreased.
If the compressor’s operating temperature increases above designed conditions due to a dirty or
clogged filter (or plugged condenser coil), the air conditioner’s compressor will stop operating due
to actuation of the thermal overload cut-out switch located on the compressor housing. As soon
as the compressor temperature has dropped to within the switch’s cut-in setting, the compressor
will restart automatically.
However the above condition will continue to take place until the filter or coil has been cleaned. It
is recommended that power to the air conditioner be interrupted intentionally when abnormally

high compressor operating temperature causes automatic shut-down of the unit. The above described
shut-down is symptomatic of a clogged or dirty filter, thus causing a reduction in cooling airflow across the
surface of the compressor and condenser coil.
Do not run the air conditioner for extended periods of time with the filter removed. Particles of dust, lint,
etc., can plug the fins of the condenser coil which will give the same reaction as a plugged filter. The
condenser coil is not visible through the filter opening, so protect it with a filter.
Continued operation under the above conditions can and will damage and shorten compressor life. The
air conditioner is available with an easily removable inlet filter to facilitate necessary cleaning. There
should be no reason to neglect this necessary maintenance.
How To Remove, Clean or Install a New Inlet Air Filter
RP aluminum washable air filters are designed to provide excellent filtering efficiency with a high dust
holding capacity and a minimum amount of resistance to air flow. Because they are constructed entirely
of aluminum they are lightweight and easy to service. Optimum filter performance is maintained by
recoating the filters after washing with RP Super Filter Coat adhesive. To achieve maximum performance
from your air handling equipment, air filters should be cleaned on a regular basis.
The inlet air filter is located behind the front cover. To access filter, pull ring protruding from slot in bottom
of front cover. The filter may now be cleaned or new filter installed.
Cleaning Instructions:
1. Flush the filter with warm water from the exhaust side to the intake side. DO NOT USE CAUSTICS.
2. After flushing allow filter to drain. Placing it with a corner down will assure complete drainage.
3. Recoat the filters with RP Super Filter Coat adhesive. When spraying filter do so from both sides for
maximum concentration of adhesive.
Condenser and Evaporator Fans
Fan motors require no maintenance. All bearings, shafts, etc. are lubricated during manufacturing for the
life of the fan.
Caution: Operation of the air conditioner in areas containing airborne caustics or chemicals can rapidly
deteriorate filters, condenser coils, fans and motors, etc. Contact McLean Thermal for special
recommendations.
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.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
Basic Air Conditioning Trouble Shooting Check List
1. Check manufacturer’s nameplate located on the unit for correct power supply.
2. Turn the power to the unit on. The evaporator (Enclosure or “COLD” air) fan should come on. Is
there airflow?
YES, proceed to step # 3.
NO, possible: Open motor winding
Stuckfanmotor
Obstructed blades
3. Check thermostat setting? Adjust thermostat to the lowest setting. This should turn the
condenser fan and the compressor on. Did condenser fan and compressor come on when the thermostat
was turned on?
YES, proceed to step #4.
NO, possible: Defective thermostat
4. Are both fans and the compressor running? If not the unit will not cool properly.
5. Check condenser ( Ambient or “HOT” air ) fan for airflow. Is there airflow ?
YES, proceed to step # 6.
NO, possible: Defective thermostat
Open motor winding
Stuckfanmotor
Obstructed blades
6. Carefully check the compressor for operation - motor should cause slight vibration, and the outer
case of the compressor should be warm.
YES, wait 5 minutes, then proceed to step #7.
NO, possible: Defective thermostat
Defective capacitor
Defective overload
Defectiverelay
7 Make sure the coils are clean. Then check evaporator “air in” and “air out” temperatures. If the
temperatures are the same:
Possible loss of refrigerant
Possible bad valves in the compressor
8. To check for a bad thermostat. Turn power to the unit off. Remove control box cover, place both
thermostat wires onto one terminal (replace control box cover for safety). This will bypass the
switch in the thermostat. Turn the power on. If both fans and the compressor come on, the
thermostat needs to be replaced.
