Notes
Introduction
Congratulations on your choice
We are delighted you have chosen an air conditioning product from
Climate Technologies to cool your home. It’s an air conditioner we’re
very proud of. Designed and made in Australia by Climate
Technologies, a 100% Australian owned company, it contains the
latest advances in Fresh Air Conditioning technology in a stylish,
attractive cabinet.
Climate Technologies is constantly researching and developing improved product
features and therefore reserves the right to change specifications without notice.
E.&O.E.
Your ducted evaporative air conditioner is engineered to meet the rigors of our harsh Australian
environment. Operated and maintained in accordance with this manual, it will provide you with years
of quiet, cool and environmentally friendly operation. Please take the time to read this manual.
The principal of your unit is to introduce fresh air, which is washed through the filter pads to provided
cool fresh air. The air is exhausted taking with it any heat loading on the home.
Unit Operation
Exhaust
It is essential for successful operation of evaporative air-conditioning that there be sufficient exhaust
openings in the area to be ventilated. Open doors and windows will usually provide this.
The minimum exhaust opening should be as per the table guide set out below. It is recommended
that ceiling vents or exhaust fans be used where there is any doubt about there being sufficient
exhaust area available. Ceiling exhaust fans or ceiling vents should have a capacity equivalent to
that of the air conditioner.

Bleed-off
All evaporative air conditioners need some water bleed-off to prevent build-up of mineral deposits in
the system. The correct setting of the bleed rate will ultimately govern the life of the unit.
With normal town water supply, bleed rate should be adjusted so that the discharge is not less than
approximately 10 litres per hour. Increased water hardness may require a higher bleed rate and
increased maintenance.
The method for setting the bleed rate is to adjust the patented DIALFLO unit located externally on the
unit.
It is recommended to plumb the bleed-off away from the unit to a down pipe in situations where the
discharge may cause unsightly stains, e.g. Colorbond Roofs.
If dump valve fitted and dumping cycles activated, bleed off may not be required.
Dump Valve (Where Fitted)
A dump valve can be fitted to a unit using the MANUAL control. There are no timer control functions
available with this control. The dump valve solenoid is activated or deactivated when the pump
operation is used.

Control Functions
The MANUAL control is a simple low voltage controller that allows you to operate each function of the
product as required to keep you home cool. As there is no thermostat in the Manual control it can be
located anywhere that is convenient to the customer and the installer.
To use the control you will need to turn the fan ON, or the fan and cool switches ON to operate .
Using the Fan Mode
Using the fan mode on the Manual control the unit will

operate the fan only providing ventilation in the building.
1. To activate the room air fan, turn the Fan ON / OFF
switch on by toggling the switch to the right.
2. To adjust the speed of the fan, rotate the FanSpeed control knob. Clockwise will increase
the air and anti-clockwise will decrease the air.
Your product is fitted with a variable speed fan
motor and therefore can be adjusted to your desired
level of air.

3. To turn the fan OFF toggle the Fan ON / OFF switch to
the left. The fan will now stop.
Using the Cool Mode
Using the cool mode introduces the pump. When the pump is turned ON water will be pumped around
the water distribution system saturating the filter pads.
1. To activate the pump, turn the Cool ON/OFF switch on by toggling the switch to the right. The
pump will now pump water around the water distributor saturating the filter pads.
2. To turn the pump OFF, toggle the Cool switch to the left and the pump will stop.
Pre-Cool
As the Manual control does not have a pre-cool function, this can be simulated by:
1. Turn ON the Cool switch first and allow the pump to operate for 3 to 5 minutes. This will allow the
filter pads to be saturated with water before the fan starts.
2. After the 3 to 5 minutes is complete, turn ON the Fan switch. The unit will deliver cool fresh air with
in seconds of the fan starting.
If you do not wish to wait for the pre-cool period, the fan can be turned on at the same time as the pump
and the air will eventually become cool as the filters saturate.
NOTE: Normally during the first 10 days of operation a slight odor will be present from the CELDEK filter
pads. This 'new smell' is quite normal, and will quickly disappear as your unit is operated.

DUCTED EVAPORATIVE AIR CONDITIONER MAINTENANCE
General
All Ducted Evaporative Air Conditioners benefit from some general maintenance to ensure continued
cooling efficiency and a long life. Maintenance is carried out at the beginning and end of summer to start
up and close down your unit.
We recommend that all maintenance work be undertaken by our fully trained and accredited Service
Technicians or an authorized Climate Technologies Service Provider.
The frequency of general maintenance will depend on local operating conditions such as water quality,
air borne dust and pollen.
It is essential that your evaporative air conditioner is maintained in accordance with this manual. Failure
to do so will effect the life of the product and reduce the level of efficiency.
For service Australia wide refer to the details on the rear of the manual.
NOTE: The manufacturer and it's service providers reserve the right to refuse service unless
safety and accessibility to the unit can be guaranteed. The cost of any extra equipment required
to provide access to the unit for servicing is the responsibility of the owner.
SAFETY: Prior to commencing any maintenance isolate the unit at the power source. Ensure the
roof is safe to access, your ladder is securely positioned and you're wearing suitable, sturdy
non-slip footwear.
Filter Pads
Visually check filter pads for sagging or blockage. Hose down pads from both sides to remove any
build up of salts, dust and pollen. In dusty areas more regular cleaning is recommended. Check the
water distributor, making sure it is clear and free from blockage. Failure to do so may lead to uneven
water distribution and therefore less efficient operation.
Water Tank
It is important to keep the water tank clean and free from sediment and algae growth. To clean the
tank, use a soft brush or similar. Wipe all surfaces in the tank while it is full of water (DO NOT FORGET
THE PUMP STRAINER). Drain the tank by removing the 40mm standpipe. It may be necessary to
repeat this procedure if the tank is very dirty.
Safety: Wet roofs are dangerous – Take Care When Draining Tank.

Water Level / Float Valve
The water level should be set at nominal 35 - 40mm from the top of the overflow before filter pads are
saturated. After run off from the operating pump / filters the level from the top of the overflow fitting
should be 25 – 30mm. The float valve is a mechanical type and is factory set. If it requires adjustment
keep bends tight.
If the valve is leaking the seal may require cleaning or replacing.
" Turn the water off
" Remove the split pin and then float arm.
" Remove piston and clean or turn seal.
" Flush system
" Replace piston, float arm and split pin.
Note:Water supply line to float valve must be flushed before connecting.
Note:Some discharge from the overflow may be experienced after shut down due to water
draining back from the Celdek pads. This is normal.
Motor and Fan
Check that the fan spins freely and that there is no build up on the blades.
Electrical
No general maintenance is required to the electrical system.
A Qualified Electrician should only carry out electrical connections and maintenance.
Bleed Off
The bleed rate should be checked to ensure it is adequate and that there is no build up of mineral
deposits in or on your air conditioner. White deposits indicate high mineral content and the Bleed Rate
should be increased. If it is at maximum and the deposits are still forming, then more regular
maintenance is required.
Pump
Check the pump spins freely and that the strainer is clean.
Water Distribution
Check the water distribution system for blockage. Check the delivery tube for kinks or holes. Check
that the clamps are secure and in place.
