WARNING: ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD.

Turn power OFF before performing any electrical installation or maintenance activities. Failure to obey this warning could result in death or serious injury.

NOTICE: Failure to obey the following notices could result in damage to the product:

• Do not locate the display panel in direct sunlight,

near any heat-producing appliances, or in a bulkhead where temperatures radiating from behind the panel may aﬀect performance.

• Do not mount the display in the supply-air stream or

above or below a supply-air or return-air grille.

• Do not mount the display behind a door, in a corner,

under a stairwell, or any place where there is no freely circulating air.

• Do not staple sensor cables during installation.

• Do not use a screw gun and do not over-tighten the

screws when mounting the display. Either method may damage the display.

The system’s display built-in temperature sensor

is located in the control’s display panel. An optional inside air temperature sensor is required if installing the display panel in a cabinet, enclosed space, or any area where the accurate sensing of the room temperature would be impaired.

6.2 Preparing the Wall

Cut the cabin wall to ﬁt the display panel, according to the bezel being used.

6.1 Choosing a Display Panel Location

Place the display panel in an area that meets the following location criteria:

• Mounted on an inside wall of the cabin, away from direct sunlight

• Sets slightly higher than mid-height of the cabin

• Located in an area of freely circulating air

• Placed a maximum distance of 15  (4.6 m) from the air conditioner

6.3 Installing an Optional Sensor

1. Mount the optional sensor according to the installation instructions included with the sensor.

2. Plug the sensor cable into the appropriate sensor jack on the upper side of the control board. Refer to “Wiring Diagrams” on page 6 for details on the sensor jack locations.

6.5 Testing the Display

NOTICE: For DX units only: do not turn the circuit breaker or power supplied to the unit OFF and then immediately turn it back ON. Allow at least ﬁve minutes for the refrigerant pressure to equalize. Failure to obey this notice could result in damage to the air conditioning unit.

1. Open the seawater-intake ball valve (seacock).

OAT

OUT

2. Turn the display OFF. Wait a minimum of ﬁve minutes.

3. Turn the air conditioner circuit breaker ON.

If the seawater pump is on a separate circuit

breaker, be sure to turn it ON.

4. Turn the display ON.

5. Press the Fan button.

6. Verify that the fan is running and that a steady airﬂow is coming out of the supply-air grille.

7. Select a temperature set point lower than the current cabin temperature.

8. Verify that a steady, solid stream of water is coming out from the overboard discharge.

7 Securing the Display

Cutout

Display Panel

3. Use the four screws provided to secure the display panel to the bulkhead. Do not use a screw gun or overtighten the screws.

4. Snap the bezel onto the display panel frame.

9. Verify that a steady airﬂow is continues to ﬂow out of the supply-air grille.

If the unit is not functioning as expected, refer to

“Troubleshooting” on page 25.

7 Operation

NOTICE: If the unit is cool-only, change parameter P-33 to CL, then select AUTO mode. Do not set the unit to AUTOMATIC mode before changing parameter P-33 to CL. Cool-only units do not heat unless equipped with auxiliary heating. Failure to obey this notice will cause the unit to cool in both modes. Refer to “Selecting a Parameter” on page 16.

When used with optional auxiliary electric heater,

the fan remains ON for four minutes aer the heater cycles OFF, even if the fan is set to cycled operation.

The images in this section show the Elite Control

display, unless otherwise indicated.

This section describes the cycle, programming, and functions for the Elite Control.

Operation Elite Control

7.1 Understanding the Heating and Cooling Cycles

The heating and cooling cycles operate diﬀerently depending on the system installed. This section describes the possible cycles.

7.1.1 Normal Heating or Cooling Cycle

In AUTOMATIC mode, heating and cooling are supplied as required to meet the cabin temperature set point.

• The system starts a cooling cycle once the cabin temperature exceeds the temperature set point by 2°F (1°C) and starts a heating cycle once the cabin temperature falls below the temperature set point by 2°F (1°C). The system continues the cycle until the cabin temperature equals the set point.

• During a cycle, the cabin temperature must drop below the set point by at least 4°F (2°C) before the system switches from cooling to heating or exceed the set point by at least 4°F (2°C) before the system switches from heating to cooling. This behavior prevents small temperature overshoots from causing the system to switch between heating and cooling when it is not necessary.

COOL mode supplies cooling only and HEAT mode supplies heating only.

• The cabin temperature for either mode is maintained within 2°F (1°C) of the set point by default.

• When the heating or cooling set point is satisﬁed, the compressor cycles OFF and the fan returns to low speed.

To view the current water temperature, press and hold Power and Down. Refer to “Using the Control Display Panel” on page 13. The fan remains on low speed until the adequate water temperature is available.

To provide heat when the required water

temperature is not available, install the optional auxiliary electric heater and program parameter P-13. Refer to “Programming the Control” on page

14.

7.1.3 Air and Water Temperature Diﬀerential (CW Systems Only)

The electric heater and the chilled-water heat can aﬀect the CW system.

The optional auxiliary electric heater overlaps with the chilled-water heat by 22 °F (12° C). The heater turns on when required and remains on until the chilled-water temperature exceeds the ambient air temperature by 22 °F (12° C) or until the room temperature is satisﬁed. During very cold conditions, the auxiliary electric heat overlaps the chilled-water heat to supplement heating.

7.1.2 Chilled-Water System Operation (CW Systems Only)

In CW systems, the water valve does not open unless the water temperature is adequate to heat or cool the cabin. The adequate heating or cooling water temperature is deﬁned by the water temperature diﬀerential setting in the control parameters. Refer to “Selecting a Parameter” on page 16.
