INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

A.

Read installation and operating instructions
carefully before starting your air conditioner
installation.

B.

The Dometic Corporation will not be liable for any
damages or injury incurred due to failure in
following these instructions.

C.

Installation

must

comply with the National Electrical

Code and any State or Local codes or regulations.

D.

DO NOT

add any devices or accessories to this air

conditioner except those specifically authorized by

The Dometic Corporation.

E.

9-1/2'



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.

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,

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.

Hole



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.

Optional ON-OFF



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.

C. OPENING PREPARATION

1.

If the opening exceeds 14-1/2' X 14-1/2', it
will be necessary to install spacers.

2. If the opening is less than 14' X 14', it

must

be enlarged.

3. Route a copper 12 AWG with ground supply
line from the fuse box or circuit breaker to
the roof opening.
a.

The power supply

must

be on a separate

20 amp Time Delay Fuse or HACR Circuit

Breaker.

b.

Wiring must comply with all National,
State and Local wiring codes.

c.

Make sure at least 20' of wire extend into

the roof opening. This insures easy air

conditioner attachment.

d.

If vent fan was removed, the existing wire
may be used provided it is of proper size
and correctly fused.

4.

The roof opening must be framed to provide

adequate support and prevent air from being
drawn from the roof cavity. Lumber 3/4'

thick or more and long enough to bridge the

opening must be used. Remember to
provide an entrance hole for the power
supply wire.

Refrigerant Compressor Time Delay:

The compressor will always have a delay in

starting of approximately two minutes any time
it is required to begin the cooling cycle.

3.

Power Interruption:

In the event power to the air conditioner is
interrupted for any reason, the system will restart
in the condition previously set by user.

4.

Low Power Indicator:

The red light will come on any time AC voltage

drops below 97 volts AC for more than ten
seconds. The light will remain on until the

voltage is above 103 volts AC. The air

conditioner will continue to run when red light is
on as long as sufficient power is available to
compressor to keep it running. NOTE:

If red

light is on, investigate the cause of the low

voltage condition and correct to insure

efficient operation of the air conditioner.

RED LED LIGHT ON INDICATING VOLTAGE HAS

DROPPED BELOW 97 VAC FOR MORE THAN 10 SECONDS

Remote ON/OFF Switch:

This switch is user supplied and may be installed

up to 40 feet from the control. Two screw
terminals are located on the back of the control
for this connection. The remote switch acts in
conjunction with the power switch and when

installed acts like a three-way switch in your

house.

MAINTENANCE

AIR FILTERS:



Periodically remove the filter/grille
assemblies located in the air box and clean. Remove the
assemblies by placing fingers on the long portion of
latches and with an over-and-downward pressure,
unlatch the catches. After assemblies are removed, wash
the filter/grille assemblies with soap and warm water. Let
assemblies dry and then reinstall.

NOTE: Never run

the air conditioner without return air
filters in place. This may plug the unit evaporator coil
with dirt and may substantially affect the performance of
the unit.

FROST FORMATION on Cooling Coil: Under

certain
conditions, frost may form on the evaporator coil. If this
should occur, inspect the filter and clean if dirty. Make

sure air louvers are not obstructed. Air conditioners have

a greater tendency to frost when the outside temperature

is relatively low. This may be prevented by adjusting the

thermostat slide to a warmer setting. Should frost

continue, operate on LOW, MED

or HIGH FAN

setting

until the cooling coil is free of frost.

The ability of the air conditioner to maintain the desired
inside temperature depends not only on the heat gain of
the vehicle but also some preventative measures taken
by the occupants. During extreme outdoor temperatures,
the heat gain of the vehicle may be reduced by:

■

Parking the vehicle in a shaded area;

■

Using window shades (blinds and/or curtains);

■

Keeping windows and door shut;

■

Avoiding the use of heat producing appliances.

Starting the air conditioner early in the morning and
giving the system a "head start" on the expected high
outdoor ambient will greatly improve its ability to maintain

the desired indoor temperature.

CAUTION
The manufacturer of this air conditioner will not be
responsible for damage caused by condensed
moisture on ceilings or other surfaces. Air

contains

moisture and this moisture tends to condense on cold
surfaces. When air enters the

vehicle,

condensed

moisture may appear on air registers,

ceilings,

windows, etc. The air conditioner removes this
moisture from the air during normal operation.
Keeping doors and windows closed when this air
conditioner is in operation will minimize condensed
moisture on cold surfaces.

For

a more permanent solution to a high heat gain,
accessories like A&E outdoor patio and window awnings
will reduce the heat gain by removing the direct exposure
to the sun, and add a nice area to enjoy company during
the cool of the evening.

15. SERVICE - Unit Does Not Operate

If your unit fails to operate or operates improperly, check
the following before calling your service center:
A.

If RV is connected to motor generator, check to be
sure motor generator

is

running and producing

power.

B.

If RV is connected to power supply by a land line,
check to be sure line is sized properly to run air
conditioner load and it is plugged into power
supply.

C.

Check your fuse or circuit breaker to see if it is
open.

D.

In

the air conditioner air box, check to be sure the
air conditioner conduit is plugged into the junction
box and ribbon cable is connected.

E.

After the above checks, call your local service center
for further help. This unit must be serviced by
qualified service personnel only.

When calling for service always give the air
conditioner Model Number and Serial Number. This
information can be found on the unit rating plate
located on the air conditioner base pan.
