Description of the device
The primary purpose of the device is room cooling. It further filters
and dehumidifies the air thus creating an agreeable room climate.
In ventilation mode the device also provides the opportunity of air
circulation without cooling effect. In dehumidification mode
moisture is withdrawn from the air.
The device operates fully automatically and thanks to its
microprocessor control features a multitude of further options,
the device can, for instance, be switched on or off automatically
with time delay via the timer function.
Handling the device can be conveniently accomplished via the
control panel at the device or the supplied infrared remote
control.
The device was designed for universal, flexible and
uncomplicated application. Due to its compact dimensions it can
be easily transported and used in all interior spaces.
The air conditioner cools the room air by withdrawing warmth.
The absorbed warmth is emitted to the outside via the exhaust air
hose, cooled air is fed to the installation site by means of a fan.
Accumulating condensate trickles from the evaporator onto the
hot condenser, there it evaporates and then is transported to the
outside via the exhaust air hose.
Excess condensate is dripping from the condenser into a
condensate trap and is there re-fed to the condenser by use of a
paddle wheel, where it evaporates and is discharged along with
the exhaust air flow.
A cooling agent sees to the transport of the absorbed warmth
within the closed refrigerant circuit.

• After being switched on, the device operates fully
automatically until the float indicates that the condensation
tank is full and the device switches itself off.
• Avoid open doors and windows.
Installation of the device
When positioning the device, observe the minimum distance from
walls or other objects as described in the chapter Technical data.
Connecting the exhaust air hose
1. Connect the flat nozzle (9) to one of the two joints (10). To do
so, carefully push the two notches of the connector into their
flat nozzle counterparts until they snap into place.
2. Connect the joint's (10) threaded opening to the hose (11). To
do so, screw the connection piece to the hose until it fits
tightly.
3. Connect the second connection piece to the other end of the
hose (11) as described in step 2.
4. Shove the free connector opening onto the exhaust air
connection (6) at the device.
– The exhaust air hose is assembled and connected to the
device.
• Set the device up in a level, upright and stable position.
• Do not create tripping hazards when laying the power cable
or other electric cables.
• Make sure that no curtains or other objects interfere with the
air flow.
• Ensure that extension cords are completely unrolled.
EN Operating Manual – Local Air Conditioner PAC 3500 5
Discharge of exhaust air
• The exhaust air coming from the device contains waste heat
from the room to be cooled. For this reason it is advisable to
discharge the exhaust air outside into the open air.
• The flat nozzle can be fed through the open window. If
required, secure the open window with the corresponding
means, so that the flat nozzle stays put.
• The flat nozzle can also be hooked into a tilted bottom-hung
window.
• Install the exhaust air hose inclined with the air direction.
Start-up
• Prior to initial start-up, the batteries (2 x type AAA) must be
inserted in the remote control:
1. To do so, open the cover of the battery compartment at the
back of the remote control.
2. Insert the batteries observing the correct polarity. Go by the
marking inside the battery compartment.
3. Then close the battery compartment.
• Check air inlets and outlets (2, 6, 8) for foreign objects and
remove these, if necessary.
• Check the air filter for dirt and clean it, if required. See
Maintenance on page 11.
• Another available option is the discharge of exhaust air
through a permanently installed exhaust air hose e.g. using a
wall bushing.
Switching the device on
1. Insert the mains plug into a properly secured mains power
socket.
2. Open the air flap (8).
3. Use the Power button (12) to switch the device on.
4. Check whether the full condensation tank indicator light (13)
is out.
– If necessary, drain the condensate. See Condensate
discharge on page 13.
5. Check whether the operating mode indicator Mode (14) and
a fan stage (15) are displayed.
6. Select the desired operating mode by pressing the Mode key
(18).
7. Select the desired fan speed by pressing the Fan Speed key
(19).
8. If required, adjust the target temperature by use of the keys
21 and 22.
Note
After every switch-off or any maintenance or repair work wait for
at least 3 minutes before switching the device on again.

EN Operating Manual – Local Air Conditioner PAC 3500 9
Errors and faults
The accurate functionality of the device was tested during
production a number of times. However, if functionality faults do
occur, then check the device according to the following list.
Note
After every switch-off, the compressor requires a waiting time of
3 minutes before it switches on again.
The device does not start:
• Check the power connection (230 V/1~/50 Hz).
• Check the mains plug for damages.
• Observe the operating temperature of 18 to 35 °C.
• Check whether the full condensation tank indicator light (13)
is illuminated. If required, discharge the condensate (see
chapter Maintenance).
• Have the electrics checked by a specialist company for
cooling and air-conditioning or by Trotec.
The device works with reduced or no cooling capacity:
• Check whether the cooling operating mode is selected.
• Check the proper fit of the exhaust air hose. In case of kinks,
bends or blockage in the hose, exhaust air cannot be
discharged. Clear the way for the exhaust air.
• Check the positioning of the air flap (8). It should be opened
to the maximum.
• Check the air filter for dirt. If required, clean the air filter (see
chapter Maintenance).
• Check the minimum distance to walls or other objects.
Position the device a little more in the room's centre, if
required.
• Check whether there are opened windows and/or doors of
the room. Close these, if any. The window for the exhaust air
hose has to remain open nonetheless.
• Check the temperature setting at the device. Reduce the set
temperature, if it is higher than the room temperature.
• Should your device be equipped with a wall connection, there
might be a slight underpressure in the room. Briefly open a
door or window to compensate this.
The device gets very warm, is loud or is losing performance:
• Check the air inlets and air filter are not dirty. Remove
external dirt.
• Check the inside of the device and especially the fan, the fan
housing, the evaporator and the compressor for external dirt
(see chapter Maintenance). If the inside of the device is dirty,
have it cleaned by a specialist company for cooling and
air-conditioning or by Trotec.
The device does not respond to the infrared remote control:
• Check whether the distance between remote control and
device is too big and minimize it, if necessary.
• Make sure there are no obstacles between device and remote
control. Ensure visual contact between device and remote
control.
• Check the charging status of the batteries and change them,
if required.
• If the batteries have only just been changed, check them for
correct polarity.
Your device still does not operate correctly after these
checks?
Bring the device to a specialist company for cooling and
air-conditioning or to Trotec for repair.
The device is loud or vibrates; condensate is leaking:
• Check whether the device is standing upright and on an even
surface.
• Check the stopper of the condensate drain for proper fit or
damage. Plug the stopper in correctly or replace it as
appropriate.
