Intended useDometic FreshLight
6Intended use
The Dometic FreshLight roof air conditioner with integrated roof window can
condition the interior of campers and caravans with cool or warm air.
The roof air conditioner is not suitable for installation in construction machines, agricultural machines or similar equipment. It will not work properly if exposed to strong
vibrations.
The operating mode of the roof air conditioner is guaranteed for temperature up to
52 °C.
Do not operate the roof air conditioner in the “Heating” air conditioning mode if the
room temperature is above 30 °C.
Heating operation is recommended at ambient temperatures of +2 °C and above.
7Technical description
The roof air conditioner with integrated window supplies the interior with cool or
warm dehumidified air without dust and dirt. Used air can be extracted from the
interior with a blower.
Two dimmable LED lamps integrated in the air outlet unit provide pleasant lighting.
The roof window has two blinds: the blackout roller blind lets no light through, while
the sun protection blind protects from direct sunlight.
The roof air conditioner is operated with the remote control.
NOTE
I
When the outside temperature drops, the heating capacity of the roof air conditioner
sinks. Heating operation is recommended only at temperatures of +2 °C and above.
The roof air conditioner can lower or raise 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 roof
air conditioner. Below an outer temperature of 16 °C the roof air
conditioner does not cool anymore. In this case only use the air
conditioning mode “Circulating air”.

Dometic FreshLightTechnical description
7.1C o m p o n en t s
The refrigerant circuit of the roof air conditioner consists of five main components
(fig. 1, page 3):
•Compressor (1)
The compressor draws in the R407c refrigerant used and compresses it. This
raises the pressure and therefore the temperature of the refrigerant.
•Condenser (2)
The built-in liquefier works like a cooler or heat exchanger. The air flowing past
absorbs the heat and the hot refrigerant gas cools down and becomes liquid.
•Evaporator (3)
The evaporators cool down and dehumidify the air flowing past them. The
refrigerant absorbs the heat and vaporises.
•Blower (4)
A blower distributes the cooled air within the vehicle through an air outlet unit.
•Solenoid valve (5)
The solenoid valve allows the cooling cycle to be reversed and the air feeding in
to be heated.
Overview of all parts: fig. b, page 8.

Inspection before starting up
Before you switch on the roof air conditioner, observe the following:
➤ Check whether the supply voltage and frequency correspond to the values
specified in the technical data, see page 37.
➤ Ensure both the air intake opening and the air nozzles are free. All ventilation
grilles must always be kept free to ensure that the roof air conditioner is able to
operate at maximum capacity.
CAUTION! Beware of injury
!
Check remote control and insert batteries
Do not insert your fingers or objects into the air nozzles or the intake
grille.
➤ Insert the provided batteries in the remote control battery compartment, see
“Replacing the remote control batteries” on page 30.
➤ Check that the four Dip switches (fig. 4, page 4) are in the correct position.
➤ If you changed the position of the Dip switches: Acknowledge the new setting
using the Reset button (fig. 3 10

9.2Using the remote control
There are two ways to control the roof air conditioner with the remote control:
•You can transmit the values directly to the roof air conditioner when you set them
•You can first specify all values on the remote control and then transmit them
collectively to the roof air conditioner
Transmitting values directly when they are set
The remote control must be pointed at the IR receiver (fig. 2 4, page 3) on the
control panel during operation.
When a button is pressed, the value is transmitted directly to the roof air conditioner.

control panel, you can activate the remote control or switch it to stand-by independently from the roof air conditioner:
➤ Press the button.
9.3Hint for improved use
The following hints will optimise the performance of your roof air conditioner:
•Improve the heat insulation of your vehicle by sealing gaps and hanging reflective
blinds or curtains on your windows.
•If the vehicle has been subjected to direct sunlight for a long time: Operate the
roof air conditioner in the “Circulated air” () or “Ventilation” () mode with the
windows open for a while before switching on the “Cooling” () air conditioning mode.
•Avoid opening doors and windows as far as possible in the “Cooling” () and
“Heating” () modes.
•Select an appropriate temperature and blower speed.
•Align the air nozzles sensibly.
•Make sure the air nozzles and intake grille are not covered by cloths, paper or
other objects.
