Installation Instructions
WARNING ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Death or serious injury can result from failure to follow these instructions.
•Disconnect 115VAC and 12VDC power supply before beginning installation and/or servicing
•Ensure product is properly grounded according to the applicable codes
•Replace all parts and panels before operating
A. ROOF REQUIREMENTS AND DETERMINING LOCATION FOR INSTALLATION
Air conditioners covered in this manual are designed for installation on an RV’s roof.
Installation of this air conditioner must be in accordance with NFPA 1192 and NFPA 70.
For proper installation, there must be a 14 ñ» ” x 14 ñ» ” (+/-ï» ”) square opening in the roof and ceiling of the RV.
There must be 2 to 6 inches between the RV ceiling and roof.
Air conditioners covered in this manual are designed to fit over preexisting roof vent openings.
If a roof vent opening isn’t available, use the following guidelines:
8QLW LV WR EH LQVWDOOHG FHQWHUHG VLGH WR VLGH RQ WKH 59 URRI
8QLW LV WR EH LQVWDOOHG RQ D VHFWLRQ RI URRI ZKLFK LV OHYHO ZLWK respect to the RV roof if parked on a flat, level surface. Roof at the point of installation can have a maximum 15 degree tilt towards the front or rear of the RV.

Installation Instructions
B.ROOF REQUIREMENTS AND PREPARATION
If a preexisting roof vent opening will be used:
8QVFUHZ DQG UHPRYH URRI YHQW IURP 59
2.Seal all holes and seams with a weather resistant sealant.
3.Measure the width and length of the vent opening. If the opening doesn’t comply with the requirements from section A, it must be resized.
If a preexisting opening will not be used, a new opening will be cut through both the roof and ceiling of the RV.
7KLV RSHQLQJ 0867 EH EHWZHHQ VWUXFWXUDO URRI members.
2.Do NOT cut structural roof members to create opening for this air conditioner. Doing so may cause damage to RV and air conditioner.
3.Do NOT create a low spot on the RV roof. Water can pool and may leak through the opening.
The square opening must be boxed with framing at least 3/4” thick to withstand the load from the compression bolts.
Be sure to provide an access hole for RV wiring toward the front of the 14 ñ» ” x 14 ñ» ” opening.
Roof and RV structure at point of install must be strong enough to support air conditioner without any deflection. If in doubt, please contact your RV
manufacturer. Deflection will allow water to pool at the air conditioner’s gasket, and may cause a leak.
C. ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
These models require a 115-volt, 60-Hz protected with either a 15-amp or 20-amp time-delay fuse or circuit breaker (see table 1 on page 4).
8VH D PLQLPXP RI VKHDWKHG $:* FRSSHU ZLUH with ground.
Be sure that 16” of supply wire is passed through the framing. This ensures enough wire is available for an easy connection in the junction box.
D. PLACING UNIT ON ROOF
CAUTION |
LIFTING HAZARD. Ensure proper |
|
lifting methods and controls are |
|
used when lifting unit to the RV roof. Failure to do so can result in injury.
1.Remove unit from packaging and dispose of packaging.
2.Do not slide the unit on its mounting gasket.
'DPDJH WR JDVNHW FDQ FDXVH D OHDN 8VLQJ WZR people, lift the unit and place it over the prepared opening. The front of the unit must face the RV’s direction of travel. Damage to condenser fan and coil will occur if this instruction is not followed.
WARNING It is important that these installation instructions are read and understood before installation and use.
Failure to securely install the unit to the RV before moving the RV may result in personal injury or death.
Do not operate the unit or recreational vehicle until the unit is fully secured on roof.
3.Bring the ceiling assembly with all provided mounting hardware into the RV. All work on the exterior of the RV is now complete.

Best Practice:
Cut away one row at a time and check installation position of baffle. With the top foam compressed onto the air conditioner’s base pan, the bottom of the baffle should be flush to the ceiling opening.
5.Install 2 baffle retainer plates onto the ceiling assembly (Optional).
6.Place foam baffle into position between 2 retainer plates.
7.Push the mounting template into the roof opening, and begin hand-threading each of the 4 mounting bolts through the nuts in the base pan.
8.Tighten the 4 bolts evenly to 35 ± 5 inch pounds using a torque wrench at least rated for 0-60 in-lbs. Even compression is required to prevent leaks through the gasket.
9.Remove 6 pin connection cover from the ceiling assembly.
E.MECHANICAL CONTROL INSTALLATION (cont.)
10.Plug 6 pin connector from the roof mounted air conditioner into the electronic control box.
11.Reassemble the 6 pin connection cover to the ceiling assembly.
12.Remove junction box cover.
13.Route the 115 VAC power cord through the strain relief of the ceiling assembly. Tighten the strain relief, making sure not to damage the wires.

16.Push wires and connections into the junction box. Reinstall junction box cover.
17.Align plastic ceiling panel to the metal assembly.
18.Install the 2 control knobs.
19.Install the 2 provided sheet metal screws to attach the plastic panel to the metal assembly. The filter must be removed to install these screws.
20.Apply pressure to the center of the plastic panel, drive the 2 wood screws at the location shown in the figure below. The air discharge doors should be partially open; otherwise, these screws will be difficult to drive.
21.Drive the remaining 6 wood screws. The air discharge doors should be hinged partially open; otherwise, these screws will be difficult to drive.
22.Assemble the filter to the plastic panel.
23.Installation is complete. Refer to “Controls” on page 12 before attempting to operate the air conditioner.

Using the Air Conditioner
IMPORTANT:
•When you turn off the air conditioner, wait at least 3 minutes before turning it back on. This prevents the compressor from overloading. This 3 minute delay also applies when switching from cool mode to fan and back.
•Do not operate your air conditioner in the Cool mode when the outside temperature is below 60°F (15° C). The inside evaporator coil may freeze up, and the air conditioner will not operate properly.
