ECONOMY MODE
DRAIN MODE
PRE-COOL MODE
Selecting the ECONOMY mode limits the maximum
available cooling or ventilation and reduces the power
used by up to 20%. The ECONOMY function can be used
in either AUTO or MANUAL modes. To select this mode
press the button so that ECONOMY appears on the
display.
Pressing the button opens the drain valve in the
cooler and empties the water in the tank. This will leave
the tank clean and dry and turn the cooler off.
If the cooler has not been used for 3 days or 3 hours,
depending on the DIP switch setting - see page 6, the
tank will automatically be drained to ensure the system
remains clean.
Your remote control is designed to allow for the saturation
of the cooler’s cooling pads before the fan is switched on.
This function, referred to as PRE-COOL mode, is enabled
at DIP switch D (refer to page 6). Once it is enabled the
cooler, when first switched on, will operate as follows:
(1)...... If the pan is empty the drain system will be closed.
The pan will then be filled.
(2)...... The water inlet system allows water to fill the pan,
until the water level reaches the lower pins of the water
probe. After a 30 second delay, the pump will turn on and
saturate the cooling pads.
(3)...... After the pump has been running for 2 minutes the
fan will start.
During this operation the word PRE-COOL will be
displayed on the remote control’s screen.
NOTE: PRE-COOL mode will not be activated if VENT
is selected on the remote control or the cooler is used
again shortly after having been turned off.
The Breezair remote control is fitted with the
WaterManager ® feature which automatically monitors
the quality of the water in the cooler.
The WaterManager ® drains the existing water in the
cooler to allow it to be replaced with fresh water, only
when it is needed. Therefore, you may notice your
cooler draining water occasionally. How often the
WaterManager ® performs this operation depends upon
the quality of the water supply and the rate of
evaporation.
In areas of poor water quality, the WaterManager ® will
operate more often as it tries to maintain the optimum
water quality in the cooler. This maximizes the cooling
effect and life of the cooling pads.
The remote control has a unique feature attached to the
WaterManager ® that allows you to specify either high
or low salinity settings. The low salinity setting is used in
specific circumstances only. We recommend talking with
your dealer before adjusting this setting.

The high salinity setting is designed to operate the
cooler at a maximum safe salinity level to maintain a
normal working life. It also results in a minimum
usage of water.
NOTE: High salinity outlet water should not be used
on salt sensitive grass or plants. It has a high salt
content.
The current WaterManager ® setting is displayed by
holding down the button and pressing the
button. The setting can be changed by holding down
the button and pressing either the or
button for HI and LO respectively.
The factory default WaterManager ® setting is HI.
For areas operating with bore water, DIP switch F
should be switched to off (see page 6). This will
disable the salinity measuring circuit and simply
drain water from the tank every 65 minutes of
operation.
After a power disruption is restored, the cooler will
automatically restart within 10 minutes, if the remote
control has remained “ON”during the power failure.
If the batteries are installed when the display is
completely blank, the display will remain blank for 5
seconds. After 5 seconds the display will show “Id”
for 1 second, then display the clock. The remote
control is now ready to use.
The remote control requires 3 AAA batteries. The
use of good quality alkaline batteries is
recommended. Under normal conditions a set of
batteries will operate for 18 months.
When the batteries are getting low on power,
BATTERY LOW is displayed on the screen (the
cooler may also switch off while the display remains
ON). This indicates that the batteries have only a
small amount of life remaining.
POWER FAILURE RECOVERY
BATTERIES
Do not use rechargeable batteries as their voltage
rating is too low for the remote control.
To change the batteries remove the cover from the back
of the remote control. Pull out the old batteries and
replace them all with the new ones. Do not mix new
batteries with old batteries.
The remote control has 2 minutes of back-up power to
retain its memory while the batteries are being changed.
There are 2 rows of DIP switches located under the
battery cover on the remote control.
Definition of DIP switch positions (first 6 in bottom row
only) are as follows:
(1)...... Reserved for later use.
(2)...... OFF, 24 hour clock.

RUNNING
DRAIN VALVE
This air cooler is supplied with an automatic drain that
performs two primary functions:
1. It opens and closes automatically to control salt
concentrations in the tank.
2. It opens to drain all water and keep your tank dry
during prolonged “off”cycles.
Your cooler will automatically change some of the water
during operation when the water salinity becomes too
high. This ensures the water is always fresh and helps
maintain your cooler in good condition to ensure
optimum cooling performance. This is called “salinity
sensor”method. Alternatively and if necessary, the air
cooler can be set to change some water after a set time
of cooling operation. The frequency of the automatic
drain function may have been adjusted by your installer.
This is called “timed drain”method.

UNPACKING THE COOLER
Cut and remove the shrink wrap from
around the cooler. Using 2 people,
carefully lift the cooler up and away
from it’s skid (Fig 1).
REMOVING PAD FRAMES
Firstly remove the corner clips, which
are located above the top louvre and
third louvre from the bottom on all
corner joins. The clips will require a
screw driver to aid removal.
Each frame is clipped into the cooler
and is removed by use of a medium
sized screwdriver. Insert the
screwdriver into the small slots at the
top of the frame and lever upwards until
the clips disengage. The frame is now
free to be lifted out of the cooler cabinet
(Fig.2).

Always locate the cooler where there is a
plentiful supply of clean fresh air, and not in
a recess or close to the ground where the air
may be dusty or polluted. Keep the cooler
away from heater flues, exhaust vents
(especially kitchens) and sources of
ignition. Avoid dangerous situations.
Allow for adequate, SAFE access around the
cooler for maintenance, especially for pad
cleaning, water connections, electrical
connections, drain connections.
It is mandatory that water cannot enter the
building as a result of poor sealing (caulking
or flashing) of the various penetrations into
the building (ducts, necks, water pipes,
electrical conduits).
The cooler must be mounted at least 10ft
(preferably 15ft) away from the closest
element of any TV antenna. Make sure the
cooler is not between the antenna and the
transmission tower that is providing the
television signal to the home. Ensure that all
antenna cables are at least 10ft from the
cooler.
REPLACING PAD FRAMES
COOLER LOCATION
Ensure the pad frame is the correct
way up by checking that the louvres
face upwards. Fit the frame in at the
bottom along the edge of the pan and
rotate it in at the top. Take care not to
damage the Chillcel as the frame
approaches the plastic water spreader
under the top panel. Then two sharp
hits by hand should locate the frame
into its correct location under the top
panel. Replace the pad frame clips at
the corners
Check the proposed cooler location
first, to ensure it is structurally capable
of supporting the weight of the cooler.
Polymer coolers are light-weight but
they require adequate support. The
largest cooler in the EXV range is about
185 lbs (84 Kgs).
MOUNTING THE AIR COOLER.
Handling and installing the cooler is
always much easier if you remove the
pad frames first.
New installation, roof jacks
Replacement installation, roof jacks
Use 24 G or stronger metal roof jack. The
cooler may then be attached directly to the
jack.
Roof Jack recommended wall thickness
should be 24 G steel or stronger. The
supplied roof jack adaptor may be required
to attach the cooler to the existing roof jack.
For assembly of the roof jack adaptor, see
Fig. 4.

RAISING COOLER TO IT’S FINAL
LOCATION
! Take care when moving
the cooler that nothing is allowed
to penetrate into the discharge
opening (such as the end of a
ladder), as damage may occur to
the internal cooler components. If a
ladder is used as a slide for the
cooler to be pulled onto a roof or
platform, we strongly recommend
the cooler be turned upside-down
first. Protect the lid from
scratching.
HANDLE WITH CARE. DO NOT
DROP.
For lifting or pulling the cooler, always
apply the ropes around the full cabinet
or the fan housing and NEVER tie

SECURING LEG SUPPORTS
After levelling and securing the cooler
onto the roof jack you are ready to fix the
four leg supports. The telescopic leg
supports (with feet attached) slide up and
down inside the four cooler corner posts.
By removing the screw from the lower
end of the corner post you enable the leg
support to slide down to roof level. Refer
figs 9, 10 & 11 for the procedure for
adjusting and securing the leg supports.

Install a manual water shut-off valve near the
point of entry of the water supply to the
cooler, in the permanent water supply. In
areas subject to winter freezing, install a
drain down feature. DO NOT FIT SHUT OFF
VALVES DIRECTLY ONTO THE FLOAT
VALVE NIPPLE OR SOLENOID VALVE.
WARNING!
Flush foreign matter from water supply pipe
before final connection to the flexible hose,
to avoid damage to the water solenoid and
float valve.

The support legs are not full weight bearing
and are only intended for additional support
in case of high winds, etc.
A permanent water supply is required to be
connected to the water inlet solenoid valve
assembly that is supplied with the cooler.
The float valve then controls the water level
in the pan automatically. (Fig. 12)
The permanent water supply connection
point is located underneath the pan, and is
attatched to the flexible hose and tube
assembly. (Fig 14, item “F”)

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
The electronic module is factory sealed;
do not attempt to open it; there are no
field serviceable parts inside
!
DO NOT TAKE RISKS!
!
The cooler requires a 115V, 60Hz power
supply.
The electronic module contains plug
receptacles for fan motor, water pump, and
other optional features if used.
Sub-circuit wiring must be rated at cooler
rated amperes or higher, and must be
protected by a suitable fuse or circuit
breaker. Sub-circuit cables are to be double
insulated all the way into the main power
termination box.
When retro-fitting the cooler to
an existing installation always turn off the
electrical power at the source of the wiring.
Turn off and tape
over the circuit breaker or remove the fuses
and keep them with you until the job is
complete. Set cooler, isolator switch, wall
switch, motor and pump to "off". Be sure to
tell other occupants of the building what you
are doing.
Check to be sure that the
voltage rating of the cooler matches your
electrical system voltage.
The electrical installation must be carried out
by a licensed and qualified electrician.
WARNING
WARNING
INSTALLING THE MAIN POWER CABLES
The point of entry into the cabinet of the
cooler is by knockouts in the pan.
Seal the gap between the conduit and
knock-out hole with silicone sealant after
making connections and clamping the
conduit cable.
Ensure that all electrical connections
are tight. Loose connections will
cause overheating that may lead to
machine damage or fire. Replace all
covers on completion of the work,
using only the screws supplied.
Do not tamper with factory wiring.
Before leaving the job, a trained,
licensed technician must check that
the cooler is operating correctly.
This cooler contains an electronic
module with main power supply
termination box separated and
connected via a cable and plug
assembly.
The main power termination box is
provided to facilitate easy wiring
connections. Cable glands are
provided for ½" ID conduit. (Fig. 19)
Running the Wall Control Cable
Plug the Wall Control cable to point
Fig 22 “Receiver”on the electronic
controller. Run the cable to the roof
space and then to the controller via
the mains power cable entry point and
plug to the rear of the Wall Control.
OPERATING ADJUSTMENTS
Water level
NEVER ADJUST THE WATER LEVEL
WITH THE COOLER RUNNING
:
The water level in the cooler is
important. Adjust the level at the float
valve inside the cooler. Rotate the large
plastic float CCW or CW to change the
level. CW will lower the level; CCW will
raise the level. (Fig. 17)
because the residual water in the pads
and pipes will cause the water to over
flow when it runs back into the pan.
Water level should be about ¼" above
the float valve support shelf. (Fig. 18)

MOTOR POWER (AMPS)
Important: Install all the pad frames
except the one on the motor side.
Beware of rotating fan, belt
and pulleys whilst making adjustments
to motor speed, pulley or belt tension
settings. Ensure the cooler is switched
OFF via the electronic module
isolation switch whilst working inside
the cooler.
Motor load must be
checked the pump running.
This
should be done by a trained licensed
electrician.
Ensure that all intended doors, windows
or other means of exhaust are open in the
building, and that all outlet grilles are
open fully.
Set the cooler running at the highest
speed for about 10 minutes, or until the
motor has reached its normal operating
temperature (hot!).
Clip your ammeter onto the free cable in
the main termination box. (Fig. 23)
WARNING:

For convenience, the rated motor
current, in amps, is printed on a small
label attached near the cable fork (in
addition to the normal motor
nameplate label located at the back of
the motor).
Check the measured amps against the
.motor nameplate amps If the measured
amps are less than the nameplate amps the
adjustable motor pulley sheave must be
altered to increase the fan speed, thereby
delivering the full capability of the cooler to
your installation.
If the measured amps are greater than the
motor nameplate amps the fan MUST be
slowed down by adjusting the motor pulley
sheave in the opposite manner.
Replace all covers when adjustments are
completed using the screws provided
The measured amps must
be equal or close to, but never more than
the nameplate amps. (see heading
"Pulley (Sheave) Adjustment")
Failure to
do this will cause overheating in the
motor and may cause the motor’s thermal
protector to trip.
PULLEY (SHEAVE) ADJUSTMENT
DO NOT USE THE PULLEY ADJUSTMENT
TO SET BELT TENSION.
The motor pulley is adjustable in order to set
the motor amperes at the correct
(nameplate) level, and thus provide the
owner with full machine cooling capacity.
The adjustment is made with the cooler
switched OFF. Never attempt this procedure
with the cooler operating.
Remove the drive belt.
To increase the fan speed (and therefore the
motor amps), the two halves of the pulley
must be closer together, ie: turn the
adjustable half clockwise. (Fig. 24)
To decrease the fan speed (and therefore
the motor amps), the two halves of the pulley
must be further apart, ie: turn the adjustable
half counter-clockwise. (Fig. 24)
A = Fixed Sheave
B = Grub Screw
C = Adjustable Sheave
D = Locking Cap
E = Locking Cap Screw
24
The outer half of the pulley is on a
thread and can be moved in or out by
removing the locking cap and then
turning the outer half by hand in the
desired direction.
When an adjustment is made, replace
the locking cap, aligning the screw
hole with the nearest hole in the
adjustable half. Lock it into place with
the securing screw. Refit the belt,
reset the belt tension, then run the
cooler and check the amps. Repeat
the process until the amp level is set.
You can start and stop the cooler for
this procedure by using the isolating
switch inside the cooler.
If it is too
tight there will be excessive belt and
bearing wear. If it is too loose there
will be belt slip, excessive belt wear
and loss of cooler performance.
There are two adjuster bolts with
locking nuts attached to the motor
mounting.
The tension should be adjusted so
that the deflection on one side of the
belt is 5/8" to 13/16". To make the
adjustment, loosen the locking nuts
and screw the bolts in or out as
required to change the belt tension.
Re-tighten the locking nuts.
It is important to recheck the motor
amps again after re-setting the belt
tension.
Correct belt tension ensures the belt
will not slip. Check the temperature of
the belt by hand after each
adjustment, by turning off the cooler
and holding one side of the belt in
your hand. If the belt is warm to touch,
it is slipping! Continue to tighten until
it runs cool. (Fig. 25)
BELT TENSION
Belt tension is important.

LOCATING THE REMOTE CONTROL
INSTALLING THE RECEIVER
The following section
describes installation of the receiver,
which requires positioning of the
receiver external to the cooler, inside
the attic or below the ceiling. The
supplied receiver lead is 16’(5.0m)
long, sufficient to reach into the attic
or below the ceiling, from the cooler
electronic module.
The remote control should be placed
approximately 5 feet (1.5 meters)
above the floor, in the most used room
in the home. This will give the optimum
temperature sensing and operating
position for the user.
:
•Avoid direct sunlight exposure.
•Avoid mounting on external walls.
•Avoid mounting the remote control
near heat sources such as stoves
and televisions.
•Do not locate in the direct airflow of
the duct outlets.
•Do not locate in strong drafts or in
dead spots such as cupboards /
drawers.
Placement is critical for correct
functioning of the thermostat
(incorporated in the remote control).
The following points must be taken into
consideration
Note:
Running the Receiver Cable
Aim to secure the receiver away from
the ductwork, but as near as possible to
the location of the remote control.
Other Options for Mounting Receiver
Signal Problems
Flat Roof Installation
Plug the receiver cable to point Fig 22
“Receiver”on the electronic controller. Run
the cable to the attic space or below the
ceiling to the receiver location and plug the 6
pin end (with sticker) to the receiver. (Fig 30)
For installations where the roof is framed in
steel, position the receiver between the
metal joists keeping the antenna as far away
from metal joists as possible and directing
the antenna perpendicular (right angle) to
the joists will give the best results.
For most installations, mounting the receiver
to the roof rafter as shown (Fig 29) will
provide satisfactory performance.
The standard installation arrangement will
satisfy the majority of applications.
However you may find difficult cases as
follows:
For signal problems in houses with a metal
roof, position the receiver as close as
possible to the metal roof with the antenna
pointing directly away from the roof (Fig 29).
Where the installation is on a building with a
flat roof and the attic space is less than 4’
(1.2 meters) deep, alternative mounting
locations may need to be found for the
receiver.
For example, install the receiver below the
ceiling in the top of a nearby cupboard.
Do not wrap any excess receiver cable
around the receiver. Do not extend the
receiver cable.

Important:
The orientation and position of the
receiver may affect the receiver's
performance. Other factors that may
also influence performance are:
(1)..Shielding from metal in the attic
lying between the receiver and
Remote Control. This may include
Sisalation/sarking (foil sheets),
and ductwork.
(2)..Reflections from metal around the
receiver.
(3)..Interference from nearby
transmitters (e.g. mobile phone, AM
radio, Television, RF security
systems).

SETTING THE ADDRESS CODE
within 4 minutes after turning on
the main power at the electronics
module.
The Breezair electronics module will
automatically recognize the remote
control connection, provided the
address code has been correctly set.
This is simply achieved by fitting the
batteries into the remote control
The screen will stay blank for
5 seconds then display “Id”for 1
second. The communication address
code will take a few seconds to set,
then the remote control can be turned
on. (Fig. 31)
If communication cannot be achieved,
the power to the cooler will need to be
turned off, and the batteries need to
be removed from the remote control.
Wait until the screen goes completely
blank, then repeat the above
procedure.

LOCATION AND TESTING
!Important One of the most critical parts
of the installation is the location of the
remote control and receiver. If this
combination of components are not set
up / located correctly, it can result in
chargeable service calls.
After the cooler has been installed, place
the remote control in the selected wall
position and operate the cooler.
Switch the cooler to high speed and
switch on and off 20 times at
approximately 3 second intervals. 1
missed transmission in 20 is acceptable,
2 missed transmissions is not. This
procedure is done to check that the
location you have chosen is not prone to
interference or blocks the radio
transmission. If the operation is
intermittent, try another location.
COMMISSIONING USING THE
REMOTE CONTROL
The following information allows quick
diagnosis at start up -
acts as a
general diagnostic indicator, and will
function as follows:
Take the remote control to the roof and
control the Cooler from there. This will
save you a lot of time.
Power up the cooler using the on/off
switch on the Electronics Module. Test
motor and pump operation. Look at the
front of the Module where 2 light emitting
diodes (LEDs) are situated (Fig. 32). The
left LED is “tricolour”and can glow green,
red or amber. The right LED is red only. If
the left LED is double flashing green,
everything is OK, this is normal operation.
•
indicates the control is running normally.
If it does not glow at all, then there is
either no power to the Electronics Module
(check isolating switch, circuit breaker,
plug and socket connections), or a failure
has occurred.

factory set, and should not require
adjustment under normal circumstances.
However, some adjustment may be
necessary to suit specific installations.
The "Red (bottom) LED"
After you have set the motor amps
and belt tension correctly, check the
speed variation of the cooler. When
the control is changed from maximum
to minimum settings, there should be
an easily recognizable difference in
fan speed.
If there is not, check the following:
That windows and doors are open.
Rule of thumb is to have 2 times the
area of the outlet grille open for
exhaust in each room.
If the above is correct then proceed as
follows:
Set the fan speed to minimum
using the remote control, so that only
two bars are displayed on the remote
control.
Turn the minimum speed
adjustment knob (Fig 33) clockwise
or anti-clockwise, until the belt is
running at approximately one
revolution per second (this equates
to a fan speed of approximately 600
rpm).
