UNIT INSTALLATION

UNIT LOCATION CHECK LIST

• Place the unit well away from sources of smoke, dust and objectionable fumes so
that only clean, fresh outside air will be drawn into the unit. (Refer AS1668)

• Check the proposed location to ensure that building members are structurally
capable of supporting the operating weight of the air conditioner.

• Provide easy access to the unit(s) for service. It is the responsibility of the dealer
/ installer to ensure safe access to the unit can be obtained for servicing.

• Access to the unit and platform / safe roof area must be provided for safe
service.

• NOTE: The manufacturer and its agents 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

EPA requirements and is not installed to the manufacturer’s specification will be the
responsibility of the dealer / installer.

P

RECAUTIONS

Please read this manual thoroughly as failure to do so could result in injury to you or
damage to the air conditioner and property.

Installation of the air conditioner must conform to local electrical, water supply and
environmental codes, rules and regulations and to applicable National Standards.

LOCATION AND ORIENTATION

Check the proposed unit location first to ensure that it is structurally capable of supporting
the weight of the unit. A level stand is required which must be capable of supporting the
operating weight of the unit, including wind loading. Check the technical data for
operating weight.

The preferred location for an evaporative air conditioner on a sloping or pitched roof is on
the side from which the prevailing winds come in the summer season.

Always locate the unit where it will receive a plentiful supply of fresh air and not in a
recess where it may be starved or where the air is polluted.

Keep the unit well away from exhaust fans and ducts. Never undersize the duct system.
Allow adequate access around the unit for maintenance. Provision must be made for

access to electricity, water supply and drains. High roofs need to be provided with
permanent access to carry out maintenance or warranty work.

NOTE: It is the owner’s responsibility to provide safe access to the unit. Climate

Technologies may refuse to do maintenance or warranty work if access is
unsafe. If any additional equipment is needed to provide access to the unit,
this will be provided (and paid for) by the owner.

LIFTING THE UNIT

When lifting the units with a crane, fit the
lifting tabs supplied to the 4 corner posts
of the unit in the holes provided. Ensure
a spreader bar is used to lift vertically
from each lifting lug.

Where lifting with a forklift, ensure the
lifting tines are long enough to reach right
through the bottom of the unit pallet.
Extension fork tines may be required.
Should you fail to do so, the water
reservoir may get damaged.

OUNTING THE AIR CONDITIONER

M

1. A mounting stand must be provided with each
unit installed.

2. The stand must be designed to carry the
operating weight of the product. Where the units
are fitted on a roof, ensure the stand is installed
on a structurally sound section.

All installations must comply with the
relevant building codes, regulations and
engineering specifications for the building.

3. An insulator should be installed between the unit
base and stand to eliminate any possible
reaction between the metal stand and the
aluminium chassis.

4. Always ensure the unit is level.

5. Allow adequate access around the unit for
maintenance. Provision must be made for
access to electricity, water supply and drains.
High roofs need to be provided with permanent
access to carry out maintenance or warranty
work. It is the owner’s responsibility to provide
safe access to the unit. Climate Technologies
may refuse to do maintenance or warranty work
if access is unsafe. If any additional equipment
is needed to provide access to the unit, this must
be provided (and paid for) by the owner.

Unit Installation

6. Down Discharge, Side Discharge and Top
Discharge units should have a minimum of
300mm from base of unit to bottom / ground level
for connecting plumbing.

7. Unit installation should have a minimum of
750mm clearance on all the service sides.

D

UCTWORK SYSTEM

It is essential that water cannot enter the building as
a result of inadequate sealing (caulking or flashing) of
the fixings, the ductwork system, system pipes and
wiring.

All duct designs and airflows must be
calculated by a qualified air conditioning
consultant or contractor in accordance with
normal good ducting practices.

Discharge duct design critical to the air
performance of the product. See diagram
below.

Where flexible ductwork is used, all bends
must have a minimum radius of 1.5 times
the diameter. All joins must be taped
airtight.

The last bend to each ceiling register
must be a smooth radius so that airflow is
even into the room.
