INSTALLATION SERVICE MANUAL
OUTDOOR ROOFTOP EVAPORATIVE COOLING UNITS
*Unit Type (EV) - Capacity (CA) - (10-40)
Evaporative Cooling systems meet a wide range of heating and ventilating requirements. The Evaporative Cooler
may be purchased as an individual unit in four sizes from 800 CFM to 8500 CFM (0.4 to 4.0 m3/s) or, it can be
combined with Rooftop Packaged Units (Natural or Power Vented), Air Handlers, or Make-up Air Handlers. In any
combination, the Evaporative Cooler will replace the need for 100% Outside Air Inlet Hood.
Evaporative Cooling is the simplest and most-cost effective cooling method without the use of mechanical
refrigeration.
FPO
ATTENTION: Read This manual IIEVC, manuals RISM* and RBM*, submittal/data sheets,
and all labels attached to the unit carefully before attempting to install, operate, or service the Evaporative Cooling Unit! Retain this manual for future reference.
Maintain water in sumps by proper microbicidal water treatment to minimize the risks of illness caused by Legionella Pneumophila (the bacteria that causes
Legionnaire's Disease) and other bacteria. Refer to local codes regar ding any additional
treatment or restrictions regarding water supplies and usage.

The following terms are used throughout this manual, in
addition to the other requirements, to bring attention to the
presence of potential hazards or to important information
concerning the product:
Indicates an imminently hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, will result in
death, serious injury or substantial property
damage.
Indicates an imminently hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, could result in
death, serious injury or substantial property
damage.
Indicates an imminently hazardous
situation which, if not av oided, ma y result in minor
injury or property damage.
NOTICE: Used to notify of special instructions on
installation, operation, or maintenance which are
important to equipment but not related to personal
injury.
Failure to comply with the General Safety Information
may result in extensive property damage, severe
personal injury, or death.
GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
Unless otherwise specifi ed, the following conv ersions may
be used for calculating SI/metric unit measurements:
1 lb. = 0.453 kg
1 cubic foot = 0.028m

1000 Btu per hour = 0.293 kW
1 foot = 0.305 m
1 inch water column = 0.249 kPa
1 inch = 25.4 mm
1 gallon = 3.785 L
1 psig = 6.894 kPa
1000 BTU/cu. ft. = 37.5 MJ/m

1liter/second = CFM x 0.472
meter/second = FPM ÷ 196.8
– 2 –
Disconnect all power before
installing or servicing the unit. If power disconnect
is out of sight, lock it in the open position and ta g
it to prevent unexpected application of power.
Failure to do so could result in fatal electrical
shock or severe personal injury.
Do not alter the unit in any way, or
damage to the unit and/or severe personal injury
or death may occur.
Do not depend on a thermostat or
other switch as a sole means of disconnecting
power when installing or servicing unit. Always
disconnect power at the main circuit breaker as
described above. Failure to do so could result in
fatal electrical shock.

CELdek® EVAPORATIVE MEDIA
The Evaporative Cooler utilizes high effi ciency
CELdek® media. CELdek® is made from a special
cellulose paper, impregnated with insoluble antirot salts and rigidifying saturants. The cross fl uted
design of the pads induces highly-turbulent mixing
of air and water for optimum heat and moisture
transfer. The evaporative coolers are available
with standard 8 or optional 12 inch media which
produce high effi ciency and high face velocities,
along with a 2" distribution pad to disperse the
water evenly over the pads.
