Description of the device

The primary purpose of the device is room cooling. It further filters

and dehumidifies the air thus creating an agreeable room climate.

In ventilation mode the device also provides the opportunity of air

circulation without cooling effect. In dehumidification mode mois-

ture is withdrawn from the air.

The device operates fully automatically and thanks to its micro-

processor control features a multitude of further options, the

device can, for instance, be switched on or off automatically with

time delay via the timer function.

Handling the device can be conveniently accomplished via the

control panel at the device or the supplied infrared remote con-

trol.

The device was designed for universal, flexible and uncompli-

cated application. Due to its compact dimensions it can be easily

transported and used in all interior spaces.

The air handling unit cools the room air by withdrawing warmth.

The absorbed warmth is emitted to the outside via the exhaust air

hose, cooled air is fed to the installation site by means of a fan.

Accumulating condensate trickles from the evaporator onto the

hot condenser, there it evaporates and then is transported to the

outside via the exhaust air hose.

Excess condensate is dripping from the condenser into a conden-

sate trap and is there re-fed to the condenser by use of a paddle

wheel, where it evaporates and is discharged along with the

exhaust air flow.

A cooling agent sees to the transport of the absorbed warmth

within the closed refrigerant circuit.

Transport and storage

Operation

EN Operating Manual – Air Conditioner PAC 4700 X 5

Connecting the exhaust air hose

• Only use the supplied hose and fasten the exhaust air hose

and adaptor to the back of the air conditioner.

• Avoid kinks and bends in the exhaust air hose as this will lead

to accumulation of emitted humid air causing the device to

overheat and shut down.

• The hose may be extended from 300 mm to 1500 mm, but

maximum efficiency can only be achieved using the shortest

length.

• The length of the exhaust air hose is especially designed ac-

cording to the product specifications. Do not replace or pro-

long it with different hoses as this could cause a malfunction.

Discharge of exhaust air

Using the PVC strip

• Fix the PVC strip in the window gap and adjust the length as

needed.

• Connect one end of the exhaust air hose to exhaust air open-

ing and the other end to the outward adaptor.

• Feed the exhaust air hose through the PVC strip and close the

window until the PVC strip is held securely.

6Operating Manual – Air Conditioner PAC 4700 X EN

Using the adaptor

• Cut a hole with a diameter of 151 mm into the wall or win-

dow.

• Feed the exhaust air hose through the window or wall and at-

tach the threaded adaptor from the outside as depicted.

• When not in use, plug the hole with the provided cover.

Installation of the carbon filter

1. Pull the filter frame out of the device.

2. Remove the filter fixing element from the filter frame.

3. Take the activated carbon filter out of its plastic wrapping.

4. Attach the activated carbon filter to the filter frame.

5. Fasten the filter fixing element to the filter frame (the activat-

ed carbon filter is held between filter frame and fixing ele-

ment).

6. Insert the filter set (filter frame + activated carbon filter + fil-

ter fixing element) at the back of the device.

Start-up

• Prior to initial start-up, the batteries (2 x type AAA) included

in the scope of delivery must be inserted in the remote con-

trol.

– To do so, open the cover of the battery compartment at the

back of the remote control.

– Insert the batteries observing the correct polarity. Go by the

marking inside the battery compartment.

– Then close the battery compartment.

• Check air inlets and outlets for foreign objects and remove

these, if necessary.

• Check the air filter for dirt and clean it, if required. Also see

chapter Maintenance.

Adjusting the air vent

• Before using the device, please open the horizontal louver!

• Adjust the louvers to the desired position.

Switch-on of the device

1. Insert the mains plug into a properly secured mains power

socket.

2. Open the horizontal louver.

3. Use the power button (2) to switch the device on.

4. The device starts in automatic operation mode (AUTO). If the

ambient temperature is

– higher than 23°C, the device works in cooling mode.

– higher than 20°C, but lower than or equal to 23°C, the de-

vice works in fan operation mode.

• To prolong the compressor lifetime, wait for at least 3 min-

utes after switch-off before switching the device back on.

• The cooling system switches off automatically when the am-

bient temperature falls below the set one. The fan, however,

keeps running at the set level. If the ambient temperature ris-

es above the selected level, the cooling will switch on again.

for future use.

2. Connect the supplied drain pipe (32) to the water outlet as

depicted and put the other end into a drain.

3. The drain pipe (32) can be extended by adding an extension

tube (33) and using a suitable connector.

Notes:

• The drain must be at a lower level than the drain hole of the

device.

• The water level indicator light (1) will be inactive in this drain-

age mode.

• If you want to extend the water tube, you can connect it to an-

other hose (OD: 18 mm).

Self-diagnosis

• This device is equipped with a self-diagnosis function.

• In case of a fault E1 or E2 will be indicated on the display.

• In such an event please contact the TROTEC®customer

service.

EN Operating Manual – Air Conditioner PAC 4700 X 11

The accurate functionality of the device was tested during pro-

duction a number of times. However, if functionality faults do

occur, then check the device according to the following list.

The device does not start:

• Check the power connection (230 V~/50 Hz).

• Check the mains plug for damages.

• Observe the operating temperature of 18 to 32 °C.

• Check whether the water level indicator light (1) is lit. If re-

quired, empty the condensation tank (see chapter Mainte-

nance).

• Have the electrics checked by a specialist company for cool-

ing and air-conditioning or by TROTEC®.

The device works with reduced or no cooling capacity:

• Check whether the cooling operating mode is selected.

• Check the proper fit of the exhaust air hose. In case of kinks,

bends or blockage in the hose, exhaust air cannot be dis-

charged. Clear the way for the exhaust air.

• Check the positioning of the air vent. It should be opened to

the maximum.

• Check the air filter for dirt. If required, clean the air filter (see

chapter Maintenance).

• Check the minimum distance to walls or other objects. Posi-

tion the device a little more in the room's centre, if required.

• Check whether there are opened windows and/or doors of

the room. Close these, if any. The window for the exhaust air

hose has to remain open nonetheless.

• Check the temperature setting at the device. Reduce the set

temperature, if it is higher than the room temperature.

The device is loud or vibrates; condensate is leaking:

• Check whether the device is standing upright and on an even

surface.

• Check the stopper of the condensate drain for proper fit or

damage. Plug the stopper in correctly or replace it as appro-

priate.

The device does not respond to the infrared remote control

• Check whether the distance between remote control and de-

vice is too big and minimize it, if necessary.

• Check the charging status of the batteries and change them,

if required.

• If the batteries have only just been changed, check them for

correct polarity.

The compressor is not running

• This might be due to the compressor's overheating protec-

tion. Simply wait for the temperature to drop.

Your device still does not operate correctly after these

checks?

Bring the device to a specialist company for cooling and air-con-

ditioning or to TROTEC®for repairs.
