3. CHOOSING PROPER LOCATION
FOR THE AIR CONDITIONER

This air conditioner is specifically designed for

installation on the roof of a recreational vehicle (RV).

When determining your cooling requirements, the

following should be considered:

1.

Size of RV

2.

Window area (increases heat gain)

3.

Amount of insulation in walls and roof of RV.

4.

Geographical location where RV will be used

5.

Personal comfort level required.

From this information the size of air conditioner(s) and

the

number

of air conditioners needed can be

*** For lengths over 24' consult the National Electrical



determined.

Code.

** The Dometic Corporation gives

general

guidelines for
generator requirements. These guidelines come from
experience people have had in actual applications.
When sizing the generator, the

total

power usage must

be considered. Also keep in mind generators lose
power at high altitudes and from lack of maintenance.

* For roofs 4-1/4' to 6' thick an optional duct (Part No.

318556) and bolt kit (Part No. 318557) are required.

This air conditioner is prewired for an Optional Electric

Heater.

A. Normal Location

The air conditioner is designed to fit over an

existing roof vent opening. When the vent is
removed, it normally creates a 14' X 14" opening.

B. Other Locations

When no roof vent is available or another location
is desired, the following is recommended:

For one unit installation: The air conditioner should
be mounted slightly forward of center (front to
back) and centered from side to side.

2.

The roof must be designed to support 140

lbs. when the RV is in motion. Normally 220
lb. static load design will meet this
requirement.

3.

Check inside the RV for air box obstructions

(i.e. door openings, room dividers, curtains,

ceiling fixtures, etc.)

4. THERMOSTAT LOCATION

It is preferred that the air conditioner be installed in a
relatively

flat and level

roof section measured with the RV

parked on a level surface. NOTE: A 8

°

slant to

either

side,or front to back, is acceptable.

C. After location has been selected:

1. Check for obstructions in the area where air
conditioner will be installed.

Air Conditioner Dimensions

(on top of vehicle)

A.

The thermostat should be located on an inside wall
approximately 4-1/2 feet (54') above the floor.

B.

Check the location for heat source other than room
air. (Example: cook stove, direct sunlight,
microwave oven, or lights.)

C.

A hole at least 7/8" diameter will be needed to

route the cable through the wall.

SUGGESTION: An opening 2' wide by 1' high

will make cable connection easier.

D.

The hole should be located 2' from the right edge

of the thermostat and 1-1/2' from the top. The

thermostat base is 6-1/4' long by 3-1/4' high.

5A. CABLE INSTALLATION (OEM)

A.

The thermostat should be located on an inside wall
approximately 4-1/2 feet (54') above the floor.

B.

Check the location for heat source other than room
air. (Example: cook stove, direct sunlight,
microwave oven, or lights.)

C.

A hole at least 7/8' diameter will be needed to
route the cable through the wall.

SUGGESTION: An opening 2" wide by 1" high
will make cable connection easier.

D.

The hole should be located 3-1/4' from the right
edge of the thermostat and 1-1/2" from the top.
The thermostat base is 6-1/4' long by 3-1/4' high.

5B. CABLE INSTALLATION

(AFTERMARKET)

The same steps must be taken as for OEM installation
but routing through the ceiling and walls may not be
practical. There are metal or plastic raceways available
at most electrical distributors. This will allow routing
along the interior surface of your ceiling and wall to the
thermostat.

6. THERMOSTAT INSTALLATION

Now that the cable is run, install the thermostat.
A.

Remove the thermostat cover by gripping top and
bottom, then pull.

B.

Connect the cable to the connector on the

T



thermostat back. The plug is polarized and latches

1-1/2"



when fully engaged.

I



C. Connect remote switch wires to screw terminals if

applicable.

The cable must be routed from the thermostat to

the roof opening.
E. Choose the shortest, most direct route.
F. Three standard cable lengths are available:

1.

15 feet - Part No. 3101632.010

2.

25 feet - Part No. 3101632.028

3.

30 feet - Part No. 3101632.036

G. The air conditioning end of the cable is covered

with a heat shrink tubing. This allows cable routing

through a 7/8' diameter hole without damage to

the plug.

NOTE:

The tubing must be carefully

removed before connection to the air conditioner.

H.

Consider where screws, nails or staples might
contact the cable.

I.

Leave 3' of cable extending through the wall for
connection to the thermostat.

J.

Enough cable must extend into the 14" x 14'
opening to allow connection to the ribbon cable
from the upper unit.

Connection

D.

Push the wire back into hole and fill excess with
insulating material.

(NOTE:

Make sure mounting

screw will not hit cable).

E.

Mount base to wall with two screws provided,
being careful to not damage touch pad.

F.

Check alignment and tighten screws.

G.

Replace cover.

7. REMOTE SWITCH
INSTALLATION (Optional)

The thermostat has provision for connection of a remote

ON/OFF switch. The user-specified switch may be
installed anywhere up to 40 feet from the thermostat.

Two conductor thermostat wires (minimum 28 AWG)

can be used for this connection and must be routed
from the switch to the thermostat.
