Safety Instructions

Do not install marine air conditioner in engine room or bilge area to prevent a poisonous gas

inflowing into the room.

Outlet grill should be installed in approximate 1 meter place from engine or generator set outlet to

prevent exhaust gas inflowing into the room. Drain outlet should be connected to the outboard or
shower sump pump.

Turn off power supply provided to marine air conditioner when servicing. It can cause service

injury or death.

Marine air conditioner should be ground connected to the unit connection point.

Only an authorized distributor/dealer can service control box which has high electrical current
passing through.

Turn off power supply provided to marine air conditioner during repair or maintenance.

Marine air conditioner will be high temperature during operation. Do not touch the unit which

may cause burns and other injuries.

Marine air conditioner contains high pressure gas. Pay attention not to cause damage to the

piping.

60Hz model can be operated with 50Hz power supply although the capacity will be reduced.

Typical Installation

Marine air conditioner should be placed as low as possible.

Do not install marine air conditioner in engine room or bilge area to prevent inflow of poisonous

gas into the room.

Marine air conditioner should be placed in a well ventilated area for circulating much air.

Air absorbed from marine air conditioner inflow into the room. Never place it in engine room that

is likely to produce a poisonous gas.

Marine air conditioner includes equipments that raise vibration or noise. Place the unit in a

horizontal floor space and soundproof space.

Install seawater inlet in as low places as possible and outlet grill as high places as possible.

Adjust the air outlet by loosing lock screw and secure the screw tightly once the air outlet is

adjusted at the optimal location.

Marine Self-Contained Air Conditioning System

Typical Installation (continued)

Mount unit with condenser/evaporator coil directly behind return air grill or with at least 3" (76mm) of
air circulation clearance if adjacent to a bulkhead or other obstructions. See Figure 2. Compressor
should be mounted away from return air grill if possible to minimize sound level in cabin.

Fan motor rotation

Adjust the air outlet by loosing lock screw and secure the screw tightly once the air outlet is adjusted
at the optimal location.See figure 2.

Non-slip tape
Put the attached non-slip tape on the base of AC system securely. See Figure 4.

FIGURE 4. Mounting brackets installation overview

Mounting Brackets
The four mounting brackets provided should be placed around edge of drain pan as equally spaced
as possible. Secure a/c unit to a flat level mounting surface. Brackets with vibration isolators and
sleeves are provided. Customer is to supply screw or bolts. See Figure 5.

Typical Installation (continued)

Ducting
Good airflow is critical for the performance of the entire system. It is highly dependent on the quality of
the ducting installation. The ducting should be run as straight, smooth and taut as possible minimizing
the number of 90° bends (two 90° bends can reduce airflow by 25%). If a transition box is used, the
total area of supply air ducts going out of the box should at least equal the area of the supply duct
going in to the box.

All ducting should:

• Be appropriately sized for each application.
• Run as smoothly and taut as possible.
• Have as few bends or loops as possible.
• Be securely fastened to prevent sagging during boat operation.
• Have all excess ducting lengths trimmed off.
• Not be flattened or kinked.
• Insulated when located in high heat load areas (hull side, mechanical compartments, etc.).
• Be properly protected against potential damage when routed through open areas.
• Do not route ducting through engine room or any area where it may be exposed to dangerous
vapors or exhaust fumes.

Seawater System
Several guidelines should be followed during the installation of the seawater system. If the circulation
pump is centrifugal and not self-priming, it must be mounted so that it is always at least one foot
below the water line regardless of which tack the vessel is on. Pump may be mounted horizontally or
vertically, The following is a summary of the seawater system installation:
1. Install the seawater scoop thru-hull inlet as close to the keel and as far below the water line as
possible, facing forward. Bed the scoop with a marine sealant designed for underwater use.
2. Install a bronze, full flow seacock on the seawater scoop thru-hull inlet.
3. Install a seawater strainer below the level of the pump with access to filter.
4. Mount the pump above the strainer and at least one foot below the waterline.
5. Connect the seacock and strainer with an uphill run of reinforced marine grade hose.
6. Connect the discharge from the pump uphill to the bottom inlet of the a/c unit’s condenser coil with
5/8" (15.9mm) reinforced marine grade hose. Connect the discharge from the condenser coil to the
overboard discharge thru-hull fitting with 5/8" (15.9mm) reinforced marine grade hose.
7. Avoid loops, high spots or the use of 90° elbows with seawater hose (each 90° elbow is equivalent
to 2.5' (0.762M) of hose and a 90° elbow on the pump outlet is equivalent to 20' (61M) of hose.
8. Double clamp all hose connections with two stainless steel clamps, reversing the clamps.
9. Use Threaded seal tape on all threaded connections.
10. Connect all metallic parts in contact with seawater to the vessel’s bonding system including the
speed scoop inlet, strainer, pump and the air conditioner.
