Device description

The device serves the purpose of cooling the room air. It further filters and dehumidifies the air thus creating an agreeable room climate. Additionally, the device can be used as heater.
The unit 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 drips from the evaporator onto the hot condenser, there it evaporates and then is transported to the outside via the exhaust air hose.
In ventilation mode the device provides the opportunity of air circulation without cooling effect.
In dehumidification mode moisture is withdrawn from the air.
In heating mode the room air is warmed up.
The device operates fully automatically and features a variety of further options. The device can, for instance, be switched on or off automatically with time delay via the timer function.
Operation of the device is possible either via the control panel at the device or via the supplied infrared remote control.
The device was designed for universal and flexible application.
Due to its compact dimensions it can be easily transported and used in all interior spaces.

The device works with reduced or no cooling capacity:
Check whether cooling 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 position of the ventilation flaps. They should be opened to the maximum.
Check the air filter(s) for dirt. If necessary, clean or replace the air filter(s).
Check the minimum distance to walls or other objects. Position the device a little more in the room's centre if required.
Check whether any windows and/or doors of the room are open. If so, close them. One window has to remain open for the exhaust air hose nonetheless.
Check the temperature setting at the device. Reduce the set temperature if it is higher than the room temperature.
The device is loud or vibrates:
Check whether the device is set up in a stable and upright position.
Condensate is leaking:
Check the device for leaks.

The compressor does not start:
Check whether the overheating protection of the compressor has tripped. Disconnect the device from the mains and let it cool down for approx. 10minutes before reconnecting it.
Check whether the ambient temperature equals the target temperature (in cooling mode). The compressor will not switch on unless the respective temperature is reached.
The compressor may start up with a delay of 3minutes, as it is provided with an internal protection against direct restart.
The device gets very warm, is loud or loses power:
Check the air inlets and air filters for dirt. Remove external dirt.
From the outside, check the device for 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 large and reduce it if necessary.
Make sure there are no obstacles, such as furniture or walls, between the device and the 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 and change them if required.
Note
Wait for at least 3 minutes after maintenance and repair work. Only then switch the device back on.
Your device still does not operate correctly after these checks?
Please contact the customer service. If necessary, bring the device to a specialist company for cooling and air-conditioning or to Trotec for repair.

Activities required before starting maintenance

Warning of electrical voltage
Do not touch the mains plug with wet or damp hands.
Switch the device off.
Hold onto the mains plug while pulling the power cable out of the mains socket.
Warning of electrical voltage
Tasks which require the housing to be opened must only be carried out by authorised specialist companies or by Trotec.

Refrigerant circuit

Danger Natural refrigerant propane (R290)!
H220 – Extremely flammable gas. H280 – Contains gas under pressure; may explode if heated.
P210 – Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames and other ignition sources. No smoking. P377 – Leaking gas fire: Do not extinguish, unless leak can be stopped safely. P410+P403 – Protect from sunlight. Store in a well-ventilated place.
The entire refrigerant circuit is a maintenance-free, hermetically sealed system and may only be maintained or repaired by specialist companies for cooling and air-conditioning or by Trotec.

Safety signs and labels on the device

Check the safety signs and labels attached to the device at regular intervals. Replace illegible safety signs!
5. Put the air filter back in.

Cleaning the air filter

The air filter has to be cleaned as soon as it is dirty. This is brought to light e.g. by a reduced capacity (see chapter Errors and faults).
Warning
Ensure that the air filter is not worn or damaged. The corners and edges of the air filter must not be deformed or rounded. Before reinserting the air filter, make sure that it is undamaged and dry!
1. Remove the air filter from the device.

Cleaning the housing

Clean the housing with a soft, damp and lint-free cloth. Ensure that no moisture enters the housing. Protect electrical components from moisture. Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents such as cleaning sprays, solvents, alcohol-based or abrasive cleaners to dampen the cloth.

Visual inspection of the inside of the device for dirt

1. Remove the air filter.
2. Use a torch to illuminate the openings of the device.
3. Check the inside of the device for dirt.
4. If you see a thick layer of dust, have the inside of the device cleaned by a specialist company for cooling and air-conditioning or by Trotec.
EN 17
local air conditioner PAC 3500 SH
2. Clean the filter using a slightly damp, soft, lint-free cloth. If the filter is heavily contaminated, clean it with warm water mixed with a neutral cleaning agent.
3. Allow the filter to dry completely. Do not insert a wet filter into the device!
4. Reinsert the air filter into the device.

Condensate discharge (manual draining)

In cooling, heating and dehumidification mode condensate is formed, which is mostly discharged via the exhaust air.
The remaining condensate is collected in a container within the housing. The condensate ought to be drained regularly.
If too much condensate accumulates, the device switches off and indicates this via the P1error code on the segment display(16).
1. Carefully transport or wheel the device to a suitable location for discharging the condensate (e.g. a drain) or position a suitable collection container under the condensate outlet.
2. Drain the condensate.
ð The P1 error code on the segment display(16) will
disappear as soon as the condensate has been drained.

Activities required after maintenance

If you want to continue using the device:
Leave the device to rest for 12to24hours, so the refrigerant can accumulate within the compressor. Wait 12to24hours before switching the device back on! Acting contrary might lead to compressor damage and a malfunctioning device. If so, any warranty claims will be voided.
Reconnect the device to the mains.
If you do not intend to use the device for a considerable time:
Store the device according to the Storage chapter.

Disposal

The icon with the crossed-out waste bin on waste electrical or electronic equipment stipulates that this equipment must not be disposed of with the household waste at the end of its life. You will find collection points for free return of waste electrical and electronic equipment in your vicinity. The addresses can be obtained from your municipality or local administration. For further return options provided by us please refer to our website www.trotec24.com.
The separate collection of waste electrical and electronic equipment aims to enable the re-use, recycling and other forms of recovery of waste equipment as well as to prevent negative effects for the environment and human health caused by the disposal of hazardous substances potentially contained in the equipment.
Have the refrigerant (propane) disposed of appropriately and according to the national regulations by a company with the relevant certification (European Waste Catalogue 160504).
In the European Union, batteries and accumulators must not be treated as domestic waste, but must be disposed of professionally in accordance with Directive 2006/66/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6September 2006 on batteries and accumulators. Please dispose of batteries and accumulators according to the relevant legal requirements.
