Intended use
25
3 Intended use
The stationary air conditioner is used to supply the interior of the
driver's cab with cool and dehumidified air.
The system is designed for stationary use. It can be used while
driving.
The stationary air conditioner is not suitable for use in agricultural
or construction vehicles.
INote
Only install the stationary air conditioner using the manufacturer's
assembly kit.
4 Technical description
The stationary air conditioner can be used for variable air conditioning inside
the vehicle. The air in the interior is guided into the system through the intake
grille, cooled, dried and conveyed back into the interior through the blower
nozzles. The system is operated using the control panel or the remote con-
trol.
INote
The stationary air conditioner can lower the temperature within the
vehicle to a certain level. The temperature depends on the type of
vehicle, the ambient temperature and the cooling capacity of your
stationary air conditioner. For the cooling capacity of your station-
ary air conditioner, see Chapter "Technical data" on page 38.
The system is fitted with a battery monitor. If the system is operated when
the vehicle ignition is switched off, the stationary air conditioner switches off
automatically as soon as the supply voltage falls below a set level.
BA_CA850S_SP950.book Seite 25 Mittwoch, 2. Mai 2012 5:05 17

EN
Operation
26
The refrigerant circuit of the stationary air conditioner consists of four main
components:
Compressor
The compressor draws in the R134a refrigerant and compresses it. This
raises the pressure and therefore the temperature of the refrigerant.
Condenser
The built-in condenser works like a cooler or heat exchanger. The air flow-
ing past absorbs the heat and the hot refrigerant gas cools down and be-
comes liquid.
Capillary tube
The capillary tube reduces the refrigerant from the higher condenser
pressure to the lower vaporisation pressure.
Vaporiser
The vaporiser cools down the air flowing past and dehumidifies it. The
refrigerant absorbs the heat and vaporises. The cooled air is distributed
within the vehicle through an air outlet unit.

6.1 Tip for improved use
INote
CA850S and SP950 are designed as air conditioning roof units for
relaxing rest periods. They can be used while driving, do not how-
ever replace the engine-powered vehicle air conditioning system.
Observe the following instructions for use to ensure your WAECO CoolAir
stationary air conditioner is used efficiently:
It is recommended that you:
Park your vehicle in the shade when possible.
Shade your vehicle when possible.
If you do not have a vehicle air conditioning system, air out your vehicle
well before using the stationary air conditioner. You should always cool
down the vehicle interior before a rest period using the vehicle air condi-
tioning system.
Keep doors and windows closed.
Avoid any heat sources in the vehicle.
Reduce the power consumed by other devices to ensure the maximum
possible operating time of the stationary air conditioner.
Select a suitable temperature and operating mode.
Make sure that the blower nozzles (fig. 11, page 3) and the intake grille
(fig. 12, page 3) are not covered by cloth, paper or other objects.
Always observe the following:
If you would like the stationary air conditioner to match the colour of your
vehicle, only paint the upper shell casing of the stationary air conditioner.
Only paint this when it has been removed. Use light colours when possible.
Wash your vehicle regularly, as dirty driver's cabs heat up more quickly.
Make sure that the performance of the stationary air conditioner is not
affected by other sources of heat (e.g. waste heat from cooling trailers).
How to actively care for your stationary air conditioner
If you are not using the air conditioning roof unit for longer periods (e.g. in
winter), use the cover which is available as an accessory (CA850S only).
Perform regular visual checks of the seals, the upper shell casing and the
grill, ideally before the season starts.
If necessary, remove any dirt and leaves from the system.

6.2 Switching on the stationary air conditioner
aCaution
Never close all of the air nozzles of the stationary air conditioner
simultaneously. The device would ice up inside.
INote
The first time the stationary air conditioner is used, there may be a
slight smell. This is normal and soon goes away.
➤With the system switched off, press the ON/OFF button (fig. 21,
page 3).
INote
If you completely switch off the stationary air conditioner, it can only
be switched on again using the control panel. The system can only
be switched on using the remote control if it is in standby mode. If
the system is not going to be used for a lengthy period, switch it off
completely so that the battery is not wasted supplying standby pow-
er.
✓The fan starts at low speed.
✓The Power LED (fig. 28, page 3) lights up.
✓The digital display (fig. 25, page 3) shows the target temperature in °C
and the operating mode (e.g. A20 for automatic mode + temperature
20 °C).
INote
The compressor is switched on after a 90-second delay.

6.5 Extracting condensation (SP950 only)
The condensated water which accumulates due to the way the system works
is automatically extracted at intervals during operation.
You can pump out the condensated water manually when necessary:
➤Switch off the system.
➤Press and hold the Operating mode (fig. 24, page 3) and – (fig. 27,
page 3) buttons simultaneously.
➤In addition, press the ON/OFF button (fig. 21, page 3) briefly.
✓The firmware version appears in the digital display for 5 seconds.
✓000 then appears in the digital display and the system starts the extraction
process for 15 seconds.
You can now let go of the Operating mode (fig. 24, page 3) and –
(fig. 27, page 3) buttons.
✓The compressor and the fan do not switch on.
✓The system switches off automatically.
INote
To stop the extraction early press the ON/OFF button until the
pump switches off.
Avoid pumping out the water too many times in succession. The pump can
be damaged if it runs dry (indicated by loud noise during extraction).
6.6 Switching off the stationary air conditioner
You can switch the stationary air conditioner to standby mode or switch it off
completely. Note that the stationary air conditioner consumes power in
standby mode. Therefore, switch off the CA850S stationary air conditioner
whenever possible.
The condensation must be pumped off for the SP950 stationary air
conditioner due to its design. Therefore, switch the SP950 stationary air
conditioner to standbymode after use and any subsequent journey while in
motion. The condensation which accumulated during and after operation is
then drained off.
Switch off the stationary air conditioner completely when it is not in use and
for longer periods (e. g. over the weekend).
