INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of a Brivis Cooling system. For you to achieve the performance and eciency
expected from your new cooler, please ensure the installer is a qualied trades person, that the installer has
commissioned the unit before you commence operating, and you take the time to read the contents of this manual.
In some Australian States it is mandatory that your cooler installation is issued with a certicate of compliance
to guarantee the installation workmanship�Please check with your installer or the local plumbing authority or
association� The Brivis cooler is covered by the product warranty as outlined in this manual�
HOW DOES YOUR EVAPORATIVE COOLING WORK?
The amount of cooling available from any type of cooling system is dependent on the outside weather conditions�
Your evaporative cooler works best on hot, dry days. It is essential to provide the required amount of ventilation (for
your evaporative cooling system to function properly) by opening windows/doors whenever the cooler is operating�
Air is drawn in through the lter pads resulting in 100% fresh cool air entering the home. The movement of this
cooled air through your home will draw the heat out of the house, so be sure that doors or windows are open to
expel this heat to outside�
Whenever possible start the cooler early to prevent the build up of heat within the house, and on sultry or humid
days your cooler may work better with the fan ONLY running and the pump turned OFF. Stale air, cigarette smoke
and fumes can be quickly cleared and replaced with fresh air by turning the fan to manual mode�
BEFORE OPERATING YOUR EVAPORATIVE COOLER
Make sure enough window and/or door area is open for the unit to work correctly�The following table gives a guide
to the amount of open area required for each model in m2, and also gives suggestions on how to provide this.

Brivis 9 Evap AC OM
To cool your whole house, you need windows and / or doors open throughout the house. If you wish to concentrate
your cooling to a select area, simply concentrate all the required ventilation in the targeted area (see below).
This iIllustration shows the method of getting
effective cooling in desired areas of the home
Evaporative air conditioner on roof
Closed Windows
Open Windows The cooled air flows towards the
points of ventilation, cooling as it
moves through rooms
Concentrated
cooling in this area
NOTE
On hot, windy days, ensure that the windows and /or doors open for ventilation are on the
sheltered side of the house.
THE AIR SMELLS A LITTLE DIFFERENT, WHY?
New Cooling pads can give o a mild odour while they are settling in. This is quite normal, it will dissipate quickly
as the new pad is constantly ushed during use.
START UP
When the cooling is rst turned ON, there will normally be a delay before the cool air is delivered from the duct
outlets. The delay will vary depending on the model of cooler, but this doesn’t mean the cooler is not operating.
Most models have pre-programmed function times, to allow time to ll the Cooler’s tank with water and/or Pre-wet
the lter pads. Brivis Contour Series models have an additional delay to allow time to open the ServoSeal damper.
The entire process can take up to 8 minutes before cool air is expected from the duct outlets�
SHUT DOWN
On Brivis Advance, Brivis Promina, Brivis Contour and Brivis AD (when tted with optional valve) units, there is
also a delay in emptying the water from the Cooler’s tank for a period after the unit has turned OFF at the end of
use. Brivis Advance, Brivis Promina and Brivis Contour models have an additional pre-programmed tank wash
cycle (ush). This washes the tank with clean water at the end of use. At the same time Brivis Contour models will
also close the motorised ServoSeal damper, which seals the ducting, reducing drafts. The ServoSeal and ush will
occur approx 1 hour after the unit has been turned o.
ON HUMID DAYS
On days of high humidity your evaporative cooler works best with the fan on high and perhaps the pump switch
turned o. If moisture is building up on tiled or hard surface areas, ensure that airow from the outlets is directed
across the ceiling rather than down towards the oor. Also ensure that you have enough windows and/or doors
open�
CEILING VENT(S) LOCATION
Vents should be set up so the air is directed across the ceiling. However, they should not be restrictive and the
vents should also be directed to disperse air evenly around the room depending on the location of the vent�

Brivis 11 Evap AC OM
AUTOMATIC PRE-WET
When the Cooler is turned ON, with both the fan and the pump in either Auto or Manual mode, the Cooler will
start a Pre-Wet automatically�The Pre-Wet stage ensures the pads are thoroughly wet before the fan starts�This
prevents warm air being initially blown into your home and contributes to the eective operation and performance
of the Cooler. The Pre-Wet time will vary depending on how long the Cooler has been OFF, and whether it needs
to ll the tank prior to operation. During the Pre-Wet the message “Pre-Wetting cooler pads - Please Wait!” will
scroll across the top of the display�
AUTOMATIC OPERATION
In Auto mode the Brivis Networker automatically turns the pump ON or OFF as required and varies the fan speed
to maintain your selected “comfort level.”
To run the unit in Auto mode, just follow these easy steps:
1� Turn the Brivis Networker on using the ON/OFF button (1)�
2� Press the Auto button (6) until “Auto” appears on the screen.
3� Rotate the Rotary dial (7) to set the comfort level you desire (up to have a cooler comfort level and down to
have a warmer comfort level) the set comfort level (11) is displayed on the LCD screen (13)�
NOTE
It will take approximately 8 minutes for the Cooler to complete the pre-wet before the fan will
turn on. The next time you return to “Auto” these steps will not be necessary because the Brivis
Networker remembers your previous settings.
Benets of using Brivis coolers in Auto mode in preference to Manual mode
• Power and water consumption varies in relation to the chosen comfort level�This comfort level cannot be as
easily maintained in Manual mode�
• In Auto Mode the unit operates only when it is required�
• Enables a set comfort level to be maintained automatically as the outside / inside temperature conditions
change�
• It allows you to pre-set the cooler to turn ON early and not let the house build up heat�
• The outlet airow noise is kept to a minimum, as the fan speed is only as fast as required to maintain the set
comfort level. This slower speed also results in more ecient saturation of the Cooler lter pads, and a cooler
outlet air temperature�

In addition to the cooler evaporating water, water is also displaced to maintain the water quality within the cooler so that the
coolers pads and other components do not deteriorate prematurely.
