Hello and congratulations
on purchasing a Seeley

evaporative cooler

MAGIQTOUCH CONTROLLER
SETTINGS MENU

At Seeley International we manufacture
evaporative coolers from the highest quality
materials, and we have designed the product
to provide many years of economical, trouble­free cooling.

OPERATING YOUR COOLER

To provide e󰀩cient cooling or ventilation the
building must have su󰀩cient exhaust openings

to the outside of the building.

To assist air ow, open windows and doors that

are farthest from the outlet vent in each room.
In these rooms, provide an exhaust opening 2
times the vent size of the room.

Where the design of the building prevents
adequate exhaust, consideration should
be given to the provision of mechanical
extractions, such as an exhaust fan.

There are three main ways that an evaporative
cooler can operate to provide cooling comfort.

• The cooler can be set to cool at a constant
fan speed, without reference to the current
temperature.

• The cooler can be given a temperature
target, in which case it will vary the fan
speed in order to get as close to the
target as possible. (Note! Humid weather
conditions may limit the temperatures that
can be achieved).

• The cooler can be set to a fan only mode,
providing air circulation only.

MAGIQTOUCH CONTROLLER
OPERATION

Your MagIQtouch Controller contains a settings
menu, which gives you access to information
about your evaporative cooler and to extra
functions including:

About Appliance

Access information about the appliances
installed in your system.

Min/Max Set Temperature

You can change the minimum and maximum
temperature displayed on your slider,
depending on what temperature range
you prefer your system to work within.

Night Quiet Mode

Restrict fan speed over the night time period
for a quiet night’s sleep.

Manual Drain

This will turn the cooler o󰀨 and drain the tank.

Pad Flush

This will turn the cooler o󰀨 and run the pumps
for a specied time. Use this feature to ush

the cooler pads.

Drain And Dry

This option allows you to nominate a time each
day when the cooler will drain the tank and run
the fan for 1 hour.

Autoclean (Breezair® coolers only)

Select the preferred cleaning interval (50 / 100
/ 200 hrs). At 8.00am after the selected running

hours has been reached, the cooler will drain

the tank, ll with fresh water and operate the

pump for 5 minutes. When complete, drains
the tank and returns to previous operation
mode.

Note! There are some settings, which are
locked and are only for installers or service
technicians.

ILL1582-A

Refer to the Owner’s Manual supplied with the
controller for operating instructions.

MAGIQCOOL CONTROLLER
SETTINGS

MagIQcool Wall Controllers can operate in
manual or automatic mode.

Manual mode

Manual mode will allow you to change settings
for operating the cooler, such as altering
fan speeds, pump control and manual drain
control.

Auto mode

Auto mode will allow thermostatic control to set
temperature targets / operating settings. It has
the capability of programming ON/OFF delay
times, enabling the cooler to automatically

start up or shut down after a specied period

of hours.
At all times the MagIQcool Controller will

monitor the cooler for faults and report them to
the controller’s screen for your reference.

ILL2121-A

Turning the Cooler On

The wall control can be switched on and o󰀨 by

pressing the button. The wall control
will remember the previous setting it was in
when the cooler was last used.

Preparing to Start

Whenever you select AUTO mode or COOL
in MANUAL mode, the cooler will take a

few minutes to start as it lls with water and

saturates the cooling pads. The time will be
decreased if the tank is full or the cooler has
only recently been turned OFF.

During this time “Preparing to Start” will ash

on the display.

MAGIQCOOL CONTROLLER
OPERATION

Manual Mode

With the wall control switched ON,
press the button until MAN is shown
on the display.

ILL1122-A

You may then press the button to
switch between COOL and VENT (where fresh
air is being delivered but not cooled).

ILL1123-B

Once COOL or VENT has been selected, the
wall control will maintain a constant fan speed.
This is indicated by the bar graph shown on
the display.

To increase or decrease the fan speed
required, press either the or
button.

Auto Mode

To select the AUTO mode press the
button until AUTO is shown on the display.

ILL1124-A

In AUTO mode the cooler will remember the
last setting used. Press the button if
you require more cool air or the button
if you require less. Don’t alter the setting
however, until the room temperature has
stabilised.
