RECEIVING THE AIR CONDITIONER

Inspect the air conditioner. Check for concealed damage that may have occurred during shipment. Look for dents,scratches, loose assemblies, evidence of oil, etc. Damage evident upon receipt should be noted on the freight bill. Damage should be brought to the attention of the delivering carrier -- NOT to Pentair Electronics & Electronical Protection China -- within 15 days of delivery. Save the carton and packing material and request an inspection. Then file a claim with the delivering carrier.

Pentair Electronics & Electronical Protection China cannot accept responsibility for freight damages; however, we will assist you in any way possible.

HANDLING AND TESTING THE AIR CONDITIONER

If the air conditioner has been in a horizontal position, be certain it is placed in an upright, vertical or mounting position for a minimum of five (5) minutes before operating.

CAUTION

Do not attempt to operate the air conditioner while it is horizontal or on its side, back or front. The refrigeration compressor is filled with lubricating oil. This will cause permanent damage to the air conditioner and also voids the warranty.

TEST FOR FUNCTIONALITY BEFORE MOUNTING THE AIR CONDITIONER TO THE ENCLOSURE. Refer to the nameplate for proper electrical current requirements, and then connect the power cord to a properly

grounded power supply. Minimum circuit ampacity should be at least 125% of the amperage shown in the design data section for the appropriate model. No other equipment should be connected to this circuit to prevent overloading.

Immediately after applying power the evaporator blower (enclosure air) should start running. Operate the air conditioner with the compressor running for five (5) to ten (10) minutes. No excessive noise or vibration should be evident during this run period. You will need to set the cooling thermostat below the ambient temperature to operate the compressor.

Condenser air temperatures should be warmer than normal room temperatures within a few minutes after the condenser impeller starts.

See sequence of operation for specifics on how the unit operates when powered up.

HOW TO READ MODEL NUMBERS

VA08 12

1 2 3 4 5 6

1. Identifies the type/family of air conditioner and the approximate height (i.e.VA08 = Value family about 701mm to 800mm high).

2. This is the air conditioner’s listed capacity in Watt at rated conditions. (i.e. 12 = 1200 Watt at 35°C ENCLOSURE 35°C ambient.)

3. 2 = 220/230 Volt,5=50Hz.

4. Identifies the construction material and refrigerant of air conditioner.(i.e.G=Galvanized Sheet Metal and R134a).

5. Unique set of numbers for each air conditioner which identifies the accessories on a model.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Inspect the air conditioner and verify correct functionality before mounting the air conditioner. See HANDLING AND TESTING THE AIR CONDITIONER on page 3.

2. Using the mounting gasket kit provided with the unit, install gaskets to the air conditioner, Figure 2.

3. Mount air conditioner on enclosure taking care not to damage the mounting gasket. The mounting gasket is the seal between the air conditioner and the enclosure. Avoid dragging the air conditioner on the enclosure with the mounting gasket attached as this could cause rips or tears in the gasket and risk losing the water tight seal.

4. Allow unit to remain upright for a minimum of five (5) minutes before starting. CAUTION! Air conditioner must be in upright position during operation.

5. Refer to the nameplate for electrical requirements. Wire the unit to a properly grounded power supply. Electrical circuit should be fused with slow blow or HACR circuit breaker.

6. Set thermostat for required cabinet temperature. Refer to Sequence of Operation on page 6 for thermostat adjustment and operation.
