EMPLOYER AND EMPLOYEE RESPONSIBILITIES
The installation and maintenance of evaporative coolers at
height has the potential to create Occupational Health and
Safety issues for those involved. Installers are advised to
ensure they are familiar with the relevant State and Federal
legislation, such as Acts, Regulations, approved Codes of
Practice and Australian Standards, which o󰀨er practical
guidance on these health and safety issues. Compliance
with these regulations will require appropriate work practices,
equipment, training and qualications of workers.
Seeley International provides the following information as a
guide to contractors and employees to assist in minimising risk
whilst working at height.
INSTALLER AND MAINTENANCE CONTRACTORS -
RISK ASSESSMENT
A risk assessment of all hazardous tasks is required under
legislation. A risk assessment is an essential element that
should be conducted before the commencement of work, to
identify and eliminate the risk of falls or to minimise these risks
by implementing control measures. There is no need for this to
be a complicated process, it just is a matter of looking at the job
to be done and considering what action(s) are necessary so the
person doing the job does not injure themselves.
This should be considered in terms of:
• What are the chances of an incident happening?
• What could the possible consequence be?
• What can you do to reduce, or better still, completely get rid of
the risk?
SOME POINTS TO CONSIDER
• What is the best and safest access to the roof and working
areas?
• If a worker is alone, who knows they are there and if they get
into di󰀩culty, how can they summon help? (Call someone on
the ground? Mobile phone? Etc.)
• What condition is the roof in? Should the trusses, underside or
surface be checked?
• Does the worker have appropriate foot wear? (Flat sole jogger
type is advisable.)
• Are all power cables / extension leads safe and appropriately
rated?
• Are all ladders, tools and equipment suitable in good
condition?
• Where ladders are to be used, is there a rm, stable base for
them to stand on? Can they be tied or secured in some way
at the top? Is the top of the ladder clear of electricity supply
cables?
• Is there a roof anchor to attach a harness and lanyard to? If
so, instruction should be issued for the use of an approved
harness or only suitably trained people used.
• Are all tools and materials being used, prevented from slipping
and falling onto a person at ground level? Is the area below
the work area suitably protected to prevent persons walking in
this area?
• Does the work schedule take into account weather conditions,
allowing for work to be suspended in high winds, thunder
storms/lightning or other types of weather giving wet, slippery
surfaces?
• Is there an on-going safety check system of harnesses, ropes,
ladders and access/lifting equipment and where they exist on
roofs, anchor points before the commencement of work?
• Is there a system which prevents employees from working
on roofs if they are unwell or under the inuence of drugs or
alcohol?
• Are there any special conditions to consider i.e. excessive roof
pitch, limited ground area, fragile roof, electrical power lines?
OTHER IMPORTANT REQUIREMENTS
• Never force parts to t because all parts are designed to t
together easily without undue force.
• Never drill holes in the tank of the cooler.
• Check the proposed cooler location, to ensure that it is
structurally capable of supporting the weight of the cooler, or
provide an adequate alternate load bearing structure.
Ensure the installation complies with all local and national
regulations with regards to electrical, plumbing and bushre
construction requirements.

2 |
PREPARING TO INSTALL THE COOLER
COOLER LOCATION
Check the proposed cooler location to ensure it is structurally
capable of supporting the weight of the cooler. If the roof is
structurally inadequate, provide an alternate load bearing
structure.
The ideal location for the cooler is in a central position on the
roof (away from sleeping areas and where people spend most
of their time) so that the duct runs are of approximately the
same length. Carefully consider neighbouring residences and
noise levels when locating the cooler, if necessary talk to the
customer and the neighbour before carrying out the installation.
Always locate the cooler where it will receive adequate fresh air
and not in a recess where it may be starved for air or where the
air is polluted.
Ensure location is a minimum of:
• 3m from a solid fuel heater ue,
• 1.5m from a gas ue,
• 5m from a sewer vent, and
• 600mm from a wall.
The cooler must be mounted at least 3m, preferably 5m away
from any TV antenna or antenna cables.
Make sure the cooler is not between the antenna and the
transmission tower that is providing the television signal to the
home.
Allow adequate access to and around the cooler for
maintenance. Provision must be made for access to electricity,
water supplies and drains.
RPCQi MODELS
ILL1646-A
Note! Do you need to discuss the installation of items like
safety anchor points with the customer
PREPARING THE DROPPER (IF REQUIRED)
LEVELLING THE DROPPER
Ensure the top of the dropper is level and square in all
directions (use a spirit level). This helps with levelling the cooler.
Cut a 50mm diameter cable exit hole in the dropper then t and
screw the cable grommet into position.
ACCESS FOR SERVICING AND
MAINTENANCE
The cooler should be installed in a position that allows adequate
access for installation, future maintenance and servicing
activities. This should comply with installation guidelines and
any local, State and National regulations.
Consider the following for the installation location:-
• Which has clear access to and around the cooler
• Which is clear of xtures in line with below clearances
• Which is clear of fall edges (> 3m away)
• Which is structurally capable of supporting the weight of the
cooler and service technicians
Required clearances around the cooler for future maintenance
and servicing are shown adjacent.
Extra service or warranty charges may apply for the cost of
any equipment or additional labour involved in accessing
the cooler if these guidelines are not met.

Side & Top Discharge Models
These units are required to be mounted onto a level platform
and must be strong enough to support the unit under operating
and prevailing conditions.
Inside these units will be a exible connector kit intended to be
tted on site to allow better alignment to duct work.
IMPORTANT
Installation must be in accordance with Municipal Building
Regulations, Relevant Electrical Wiring Regulations, and any
other relevant Codes and Regulations.
All installation work to be carried out by Authorized Persons
only.
CONVEYING THE COOLER TO THE ROOF
Lifting and installing the cooler is made easier by removing the
pad frames rst. They can be replaced at the very end of the
installation procedure.
Do not slide the cooler, lift and carry it. It is recommended
that at least 2 people carry the cooler whenever it needs to be
moved. Do not drop the cooler. Always handle with care.
Important! For lifting or pulling purposes when using ropes or
slings, always apply the ropes around fan housing. Never tie
them to any or all of the 4 corner pillars.
WARNING! Take care that the ends of ladders, etc. don’t
penetrate into the opening of the cooler,
CAUTION! Never try to raise the cooler to the roof alone.
MOUNTING THE COOLER
Down Discharge Models
These units have been designed to be directly mounted on top
of a suitably sized and strengthened metal duct. Fixing is by
means of self drilling screws or rivets through the steel mount
on the bottom of unit to metal duct.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
INSTALLING THE MAINS POWER CABLE
The power cable, included with your cooler will have boot lace
ends ready for connection to the mains power supply.
Means for all pole disconnection must be incorporated in the
xed wiring in accordance with the wiring rules.
Field Wiring
Pass the power cable through the conduit gland located on
corner of unit.
Terminate the power cable in a junction box installed nearby.
Refer to the eld wiring diagram below. The xed wiring must
be tted with an all pole disconnection switch that breaks the
active and neutral in accordance with local wiring rules. We
recommend the junction box be located and installed on the
dropper.
WARNING! Do not let the cable, the cable ends, or the control
box get wet.
ILL2149-A
GROMMET
CONTROLLER
CABLE POWER
INSTALLING THE CONTROLLER CABLE
Seeley International recommends:
• Not routing data/communication and supply mains voltage
cables in the same conduit.
• Not cable tying or taping data/communication and supply
mains voltage cables together.
• A minimum separation distance, as specied by your
local wiring standards, between data/communication and
supply mains cables. In Australia, this minimum separation
distance is 50mm .
Connect one end of the control cable (with ferrite suppressor) to
the cooler electronics box. The wall control cable can be tted
to either of the RJ ports
Down Discharge Units
A hole is provided in the side of the blower housing for control
cable entry. The control cable can be passed through this hole
and wired to the control box. On installation pass the cables
through the hole into the dropper and then into the roof cavity
Side & Top Discharge
Using knockout located on the corner pillar on the opposite side
to the mains connection
Feed looped end of the controller cable through the supplied
grommet then t the grommet into hole left after knock out was
removed.
Note! It is important to route the control and power cables out
through included grommets / conduit.
Note! The maximum length for the wall control cable to travel
alongside the power cable is 10m.
WARNING! Do not let the cable, the cable ends, or the control
box get wet.
IMPORTANT REMINDER!
Do not route extra-low voltage data/communication and low
voltage supply mains cables without rst consulting your local
wiring standards. Routing data/communication cables and
supply mains cables in close proximity can present an electrical
hazard and can be detrimental to the performance of the
product, resulting in intermittent communication errors, locking
up of screens, displays dropping out and inconsistent erratic
operation.
It is required that all units be connected to the mains supply
through an independent circuit, suitably protected by fuse or
circuit breaker. Ensure that the power supply is su󰀩cient for the
rating indicated on the serial plate. Wire the unit in accordance
with all state and local regulations.
NOTE
An all pole disconnection switch must be incorporated in the
xed wiring in the accordance with the wiring rules.

BLEED CONTROL
To reduce the accumulation of salts and minerals in the cooler
when running for long periods it is essential to bleed a certain
amount of water. Increased ow of make up water reduces
the salt content. The bleed rate will vary with the water supply
quality, but should initially be set to the minimum recommended
bleed rates as set out in below. If your water supply is of
poor quality, higher bleed o󰀨 rates are necessary to ensure
reasonable pad life and cooler performance. Place the hose
from the bleed tap into the overow pipe. Connect suitable pipe
work to bottom of the overow bush so that water drains directly
to waste. Drain plumbing must be in accordance with local
regulations.

WATER SUPPLY:
Mains connection is made to the oat valve tted in the
reservoir. The oat valve must be set to maintain the reservoir
water level about 10 mm below the overow level.
The mains water supply should be tted with a ball valve and
connection to the unit from the stopcock be made with the
appropriate copper pipe and ttings.
NOTE:
Flush the mains supply before connection to the unit to remove
any foreign matter which may foul the valve seat. Remember to
use a Pipe Cutter to cut copper pipe.

INSTALLING THE DRAIN VALVE (OPTIONAL)
Water drained from the cooler must be carried away to a
suitable discharge point in accordance with local regulations.
Important! Never drain water from the cooler directly on to the
roof.
Make sure the “O”-ring (C) is tted before placing the drain
valve into the hole. Screw the nut (E) up tightly by hand
underneath to locate the drain valve. Locate the drain adaptor
(F) up against the bottom of the drain valve thread and secure
with the second, larger nut (G). Make sure that you use the
correct drain adaptor. Make sure the drain water discharge
ows freely away from the cooler.
Important! Do not over-tighten plastic ttings.
Remove Shorting pins then connect the drain valve cable to the
cooler electronics box.
An optional Water Manager Kit, Part # 073392, can be supplied
with the cooler or at a later date if required. The water manager,
which is fully automatic, is controlled by the cooler control
electronics combined with your Braemar wall control. The
system is designed to ensure that the water is always fresh,
maintains your cooler in good condition and ensures optimum
cooling performance.
Refer to the installation manual provided with the wall controller
for instructions on installing the controller. Coolers are supplied
with a 20m (66’) control cable. Longer cable lengths are
available from Seeley.
Important! The maximum cable length allowed from the
MagIQtouch controller to the rst cooler is 25 metres (82’). For
any additional coolers added into the system with a link module
the maximum allowed length is 40 metres (131’). Therefore,
failure of the product or components to operate correctly due
to modication to supplied cables, or the use of non-approved
cables will NOT be accepted under the Manufacturer’s
Warranty.
We have this cable available through our sales order o󰀩ce and

“SERVICE”
If on initial Installation of a Cooler, or after the wall control has
been changed, the word “SERVICE” appears on the MagIQcool
Wall control screen and the unit does not respond to the
pushing of any buttons even though the backlighting responds.
This is easily rectied and means that communication needs
to be established between the Wall control and the electronic
controller inside the Cooler.
To establish communications simply push and hold the “DOWN”
button until the word “SERVICE” disappears from the screen
and the temperature appears. This may take up to 10 seconds.
Once communications has been established the unit can be
operated.

Fault Code 01 (1 Red Flash) = Communication Failure.
• Ensure wall control cable is tted correctly.
• Check the wall control cable is in good condition.
Fault Code 02 (2 Red Flashes) = Failure to detect water at
probes within 8 minutes.
• Ensure water pressure is su󰀩cient to ll and maintain the tank
to specied level within 8 minutes.
• In areas of hard or polluted water, blockage of the strainer/
lter in the water inlet solenoid valve may restrict water ow.
• Water level set too low. For Braemar coolers the water level
should be set to 5mm below the oat valve base.
• Ensure probe plug is properly connected (If drain kit is tted).
• Plug connections at electronic module are upside down or
misaligned. (If drain kit is tted)
• Water too pure for the probes to sense water is present.
• Pressure build up in pipes can lock up the solenoid valve
when a non-return isolation valve is used in the water supply
line. It is recommended to use a ball valve, i.e. NOT a non-
return type of shut o󰀨 valve.
• Check drain valve is closing and not cycling due to debris
being caught under drain valve washer. (If drain kit is tted)
Fault Code 04 (4 Red Flashes) = Failure to clear probes
during drain within 4 minutes .
• Check the drain valve opens and water drains from the tank,
with nothing obstructing the outow of water. (e.g. drain hose
kinked)
• Excessive drain hose lengths or bends cause air locking and
won’t allow water to drain.
• Build up of foreign material in drain hose not allowing water to
drain away correctly.
• Screws used to x drain hoses to drain adaptors restricting
water from draining from tank.
• Drain valve has failed to open when drain was initiated.
• Inlet water solenoid not shutting o󰀨 water when the drain is
open.
• Water will only ow one way through the inlet water solenoid
valve. Therefore, it must be installed correctly. Directional
arrow must be pointing towards the oat valve assembly. If
not, water will not shut o󰀨. (Directional arrow can be found on
the bottom of the solenoid valve body).
• Debris interfering with water sensor probes.
• Probes not clipped onto mounting brackets correctly.
• Check cooler is level and water drains quickly.
Fault Code 07 (7 Red Flashes) = Incorrect supply frequency
(Hz). (MagIQcool Controller Only)
This fault will only be seen when the mains power supply
frequency deviates from normal frequency by more than 8%.
Mains power supply frequency should be 50Hz. If the frequency
deviates outside preset limits of 46-54Hz then this fault will be
indicated.
• Petrol generators are the most likely cause of this type of
fault. This typically will not occur on mains power supplies.

TESTING THE DIRECT DRIVE MOTOR
This RPCQi cooler incorporates a Seeley electronically
commutated Direct Drive motor. No setup is required for this
motor as it automatically adjusts to provide optimum output for
each installation.
Turn the cooler on at the MagIQtouch Controller, in “FAN ONLY”
mode. Look at the front of the cooler electronics box where 4
LEDs are situated on the left hand side. LEDs 1 - 4 should be
on (glowing green).
CHANGING THE WATER MANAGEMENT
METHOD FOR THE MAGIQCOOL CONTROL
For models where WaterMiser probes and drain valve are tted,
the drain frequency is typically managed by salinity control. If
you do wish to change from salinity control to regular operation
of the drain valve every 65 mins, follow these programming
steps.
To enter Parameter mode, the following process must be
carried out within 4 minutes of power being applied to the
cooler. If unsure of time since the last power “ON”, remove
power to the cooler (Isolator Switch or Circuit Breaker) for a
minimum of 6 seconds so the mode can be entered.
1.While wall control is OFF, push and hold and
buttons for minimum three (3) seconds. The screen will then
display “A1” - (Water Salinity Control Method) and “Param”.
2.Press to enter the “value” screen.
3.To alter the “value” of selected parameter, press or
. Numbers will change to show di󰀨erent values the
parameter can be set to.
WaterMiser = 0
Timed Drain = 1 (every 65 mins)
Non-Drain Valve salinity control (bleed etc.) = 2
4.To store the value, press . Screen will go blank
momentarily as wall control stores parameter change, and
returns screen to “Param” screen.
5.To exit parameter mode or escape from an alteration without
storing a change press button instead of button.
Note! Once step 4 has been carried out, new parameter
change is permanent until again altered.
6.If no buttons are pushed on wall control, after 3 minutes
screen will reset to “OFF” state. Procedure to enter parameter
mode must be re-initiated.

SETTING THE WATER LEVEL
ILL2117-A
ILL2118-A
Allow the tank (reservoir) to ll with water. The oat valve will
eventually stop the water from entering the cooler. Wait for this
to happen and check the water level.
The oat valve must be set to maintain the reservoir water level
about 10 mm below the overow level. Adjust oat by bending
arm to set height.
