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 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 AND TESTING THE AIR CONDITIONER
If the air conditioner has been in a horizontal position, 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
TEST FOR FUNCTIONALITY BEFORE MOUNTING THE AIR CONDITIONER TO THE ENCLOSURE.
Refer to the nameplate for proper electrical current requirements, and then wire the unit to a properly grounded
power supply using copper conductors only. Power supply wiring should be restrained after field installation to
ensure no contact with internal fan. Minimum circuit ampacity should be at least 125% of the amperage shown on
the unit nameplate. No other equipment should be connected to this circuit to prevent overloading
Immediately after applying power, the evaporator blower (enclosure air) should start running. Operate the
air conditioner with the compressor running for five (5) to ten (10) minutes. You will need to set the cooling
thermostat or controller setpoint below the ambient temperature to operate the compressor.
Condenser air temperatures should be warmer than normal room temperatures within a few minutes after the
condenser impellers start.
See Sequence of Operation on page 4 for specifics on how the unit operates when powered up.
HOW TO READ MODEL NUMBERS
G28 06 4 6 G150
12345
1. Identifies the type/family of air conditioner and the approximate height (i.e. G28 = Global family
about 28 inch high).
2. This is the air conditioner’s listed capacity in BTU/Hr. at rated conditions. (i.e. 06=6,000 BTU/Hr. at
131/131 F)
3. 1 = 115 Volt, 2 = 230 Volt, 4 = 460 Volt.
4. 6 = 50/60 Hz or 60 Hz only.
5. Unique set of numbers for each air conditioner which identifies the accessories on a model.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION
SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
The air conditioner comes standard with two internally mounted thermostats or remote access control. There
are two modes of operation; heating and cooling. During heating and cooling modes the evaporator fan will be
running.
HEATING
When the enclosure temperature is below the heating thermostat setpoint, power is applied to the
heaters. When the enclosure temperature is 10 degrees above the setpoint the heater is powered off.
COOLING
When the enclosure temperature is above the cooling thermostat setpoint, power is applied through the
thermostat. The compressor is then energized either directly or through a contactor if unit requires one.
The condenser impellers will start immediately if the unit is not equipped with an optional head pressure
control switch. If the unit is equipped with an optional head pressure control switch, the condenser
impellers will start once the refrigerant pressure reaches the setting of the switch. Component specific
information is listed below.
Operating the air conditioner below the minimum ambient temperature or above the maximum ambient
temperatures indicated on the nameplate voids all warranties. DO NOT set the enclosure thermostat to a
temperature lower than 70 F. Doing so can increase the likelihood of frost buildup on the evaporator coil.
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 that the air conditioner must then dehumidify.
STANDARD AND OPTIONAL COMPONENT OPERATION
THERMOSTAT
The standard G28 air conditioner uses our standard 10-1061-16 thermostat. The thermostat setpoint
equals the temperature that the air conditioner turns off. The thermostat has a 10 F differential from
setpoint until it calls for cooling or heating. An example of operation is shown below.
FOR COOLING (75100 F RANGE):
• Thermostat setpoint = 80 F
• Cooling turns on at 90 F
• Cooling turns off at 80 F
FOR HEATING (5565 F RANGE):
• Thermostat setpoint = 55 F
• Heating turns on at 55 F
• Heating turns off at 65 F
NOTE: For testing purposes only, the thermostat stop screw may be removed (on units so
equipped) to allow settings below 70 F. After testing, replace the stop screw and verify that
the thermostat cannot be set below 70 F. Extended operation below 70 F can cause coil freeze
ups resulting in reduced load and/or unit damage.
REMOTE ACCESS CONTROL (OPTIONAL)
See REMOTE ACCESS CONTROL (optional) on page 13
HEAD PRESSURE CONTROL (OPTIONAL)
Unit is set at the factory, no adjustment necessary.
At a saturated condenser temperature of 85 F (95 psig), the condenser fans will power off. At a saturated
condenser temperature of 118 F (165 psig), the condenser fans will power on.
CONTACTOR (460V UNITS ONLY)
The contactor on this model uses a 230V coil.
OVERLOAD (460V UNITS ONLY)
Set overload reset setting to automatic “A” and trip point dial to 1.6A.

PHASE MONITOR
This product is equipped with Phase/Voltage Protection. Please verify correct phasing and voltage before
operating. Note the fans may still operate if phasing is incorrect, but the compressor will not, so the unit
will not cool. Illuminated light on Phase Monitor indicates phase is correct.
If the light is not illuminated, disconnect power from the unit and swap any two power leads at the
terminal block. This should correct the phasing. The light should now illuminate when power is reapplied.
460V TO 230V TRANSFORMER
The 230V from this transformer powers the fans, contactor and optional transformers. 460V is only used
to run the compressor.
115V/230V TO 10V TRANSFORMER (OPTIONAL)
This transformer powers the thermal display on thermostat controlled units only.
115V/230V TO 24V TRANSFORMER AND RELAY (OPTIONAL)
The transformer and relay are used to operate the condenser blower and compressor by using a customer
supplied, remote mounted door switch. This is not a safety door switch, but rather, only helps to reduce
condensation at the evaporator coil if the door is opened. The unit will remain electrified when the door
switch is operated with the evaporator fan continuing to operate, and potentially, if temperatures are low
enough, the heater may continue to operate on outdoor models.

1. Inspect the air conditioner and verify correct functionality before mounting the air conditioner. See
HANDLING AND TESTING THE AIR CONDITIONER on page 3.
2. Using the mounting gasket kit provided with the unit, install gaskets to the air conditioner, see
Figure 1.
3. Mount air conditioner on enclosure taking care not to damage the mounting gasket. The
mounting gasket is the seal between the air conditioner and the enclosure. Avoid dragging the air
conditioner on the enclosure with the mounting gasket attached as this could cause rips or tears
in the gasket and risk losing the water tight seal.
4. 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 the nameplate for electrical requirements. Wire the unit to a properly grounded power
supply. For 3 phase units, once power is applied, verify that phase monitor light is illuminated
which indicates correct electrical phasing. Electrical circuit should be fused with slow blow or
HACR circuit breaker.
6. Some air conditioners require a remote mounted thermostat. Wire the thermostat outputs to the
appropriate terminals on the 24 VAC terminal strip by noting the locations on the correct wiring
diagram.
7. Set thermostat for required cabinet temperature. Refer to Sequence of Operation on page 4 for
thermostat adjustment and operation.

REMOTE ACCESS CONTROL (OPTIONAL)
INTRODUCTION
The Remote Access Control is a parametric controller for the complete management of air conditioners. All
settings are pre-programmed at the factory. Cooling/heating set-points, cooling/heating differential and high /low
temperature alarm set-points can be adjusted by the user. Alarms are outputted through a relay contact and also
can be accessed through an Ethernet connection utilizing SNMP, EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP. A USB connection
is also provided and can be used to interface with the controller utilizing Modbus RTU.
ENERGIZING THE CONTROLLER
The controller is wired and programmed at the factory to be energized when power is supplied to the air
conditioner.
CONTROL STATUS INDICATION
The display has numerous symbols that indicate if the controller is heating, cooling, alarming, if the compressor
is enabled, and if the ambient fan is enabled. The 3 alpha-numeric characters further describe alarms and show
the cabinet temperature by default.
