Information about the device

Description of the device

The air cooler PAE 20 lowers the room temperature to a comfortable degree by evaporation-based cooling.

The device is filled with cold water in order to cool down the incoming warm air at the evaporation filter and to blow out the cold air thus generated via the fan. Ice packs can be used for additional cooling if required.

Besides its cooling function, the device can also be used for air freshening: thanks to an integrated air filter and the evaporation filter's honeycomb structure, the sucked-in air is filtered and humidified.

The fan speed can be set to three stages.

The discharge direction of the cooled air can be manually adjusted via the ventilation flaps as well as via the optionally selectable automatic swing mode.

Using the timer function the device can be switched off automatically with time delay.

Operation of the device is possible either via the control panel at the device or via the supplied infrared remote control.

Errors and faults

The device has been checked for proper functioning several times during production. If malfunctions occur nonetheless, check the device according to the following list.

The device does not start:

• Check the power connection.

• Check the power cable and mains plug for damages.

• Check the on-site fusing.

• Wait for 10minutes before restarting the device. If the device is not starting, have the electrics checked by a specialist company or by Trotec.

The device is running, but there is no air cooling or pump operation:

• Check whether air cooling mode is activated. The COOL LED(18) should be illuminated.

• Check the filling level of the water tank (see chapter Filling the water tank). The operating light(20) must not be flashing and there must be no acoustic signal.

• Check whether there are any objects blocking the pump inlet. Make sure that the pump inlet is not blocked.

• In case the pump does not operate despite a correctly filled water tank and activated air cooling mode, the pump might be defective. Please contact the customer service.

Water is leaking:

• Check the device for leaks.

• Check the water tank for proper fit.

The swing function is not working:

• The swing function motor might be defective. Please contact the customer service.

The device is loud or vibrates:

• Check whether the device is set up in a stable and upright position.

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.

Notice

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 an authorized specialist electrical company or to Trotec for repair.

The device works with reduced or no capacity:

• Check the position of the horizontal ventilation flaps. They should be opened to the maximum.

• Check the air filter for dirt. If necessary, clean or replace the air filter.

• Check the minimum distance to walls or other objects. Position the device a little more in the room's centre if required.
