CRANE OR FORKLIFT NOT TYPICALLY NECCESARY
This guide applies to products that can conceivably be lifted/positioned by
one or more persons without the aid of machinery. Upon reviewing
recommendations below, you may opt to use machinery. This is at your
discretion. ATC are not responsible for injury or death sustained through
improper handling procedures.
UNPACKING
- Please check that both the packaging and the unit are undamaged. If there is any doubt, it is vital that you inform both ATC and the carrier. There are no hidden shipping bolts or other fixings. You should inspect the packaging for signs of transit damage before signing for the unit, and if possible, unpack the unit before signing. Once you have signed for the goods, ATC cannot be held responsible for any transit damage subsequently found.
- Remove the unit from its original packaging and ensure that there is no packaging left around the cooling ducts. There is no internal product packaging that requires the chiller to be opened.
- Please retain all packaging in the unlikely event that the chiller needs to be returned to our local representatives.
- For UL compliance, ATC must make the statement; “as the unit is >18kg, ATC must recommend that 2 persons are used to lift by hand, or a crane”.
- Your region’s workplace safety regulations may differ. The below information is provided as a guideline only in the absence of any other regulations. It is based on the United Kingdom’s ‘Manual Handling Operations Regulations (1992)’.
- Lifting items of any weight can cause injury if handled incorrectly, depending on what the load is and the physicality of the person handling it. Manual handling guidelines suggest that the maximum safe lifting weight for a woman is 16kg and the maximum safe lifting weight for men is 25kg. These recommendations change depending on the height the object is lifted to and how the object is carried, outlined in the tables below.
| Recommendations for Men|
---|---|---
Height Object is Lifted| Max Weight Held Close to Body| Max Weight at Arm’s
Length|
Head Height| 10kg| 5kg|
Shoulder Height| 20kg| 10kg|
Elbow Height| 25kg| 15kg|
Knuckle Height| 20kg| 10kg|
Mid-Lower Leg Height| 10kg| 5kg|
|
Recommendations for Women|
Height Object is Lifted| Max Weight Held Close to Body| Max Weight at Arm’s
Length|
Head Height| 7kg| 3kg|
Shoulder Height| 13kg| 7kg|
Elbow Height| 16kg| 10kg|
Knuckle Height| 13kg| 7kg|
Mid-Lower Leg Height| 7kg| 3kg|
|
When two people are lifting an item, the approximate rule is that you should not exceed 2/3rds of the sum of both individual’s lifting limits. If two men who can carry a maximum of 25kg each are lifting an object together, then the object should not weigh more than around 33kg. If three people are lifting an object, the maximum weight of this object should not exceed half the sum of all individual’s lifting limits.
SITE & ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS FOR A01, A03, A08 & A12-SERIES
This guide applies to certain A-Series products only. Please find below the
requirements for all services and conditions necessary for years of trouble-
free running. If you require more detail, please contact ATC for support on

Clearance. Clearance is required to;
- Ensure the on/off switch on the front face is unobstructed to allow access in case of emergency.
- Fit hoses and electrical supply to the rear of the unit allowing recommended bending radii.
- Allow maintenance access points on top and side panels to be removed.
- Allow process to take place – A01/A03 air-on face is the front of unit – 0.5m is recommended – the coolest, cleanest air that can be provided will improve performance. A08/A12 air-on face is the right -hand side. Air-off faces are every other vented face – 0.5m clearance is recommended on at least 1, preferably 2 of the rear, left and right sides.
- Plumbing. Tubing, piping or hose must be clean and compatible with the fluid to be used. The product is compatible with deionized water, tap water and water-glycol mixtures such as
- Hexid A4 and A6. Ensure the connected pipework is suitable for handling up to 20L/min at system pressure ≥6bar.
- Indoor use only. Altitude up to 2000m above sea level. Ensure the unit has adequate ventilation.
- Installation category. Transient overvoltage category II; Pollution degree 2. Temporary overvoltages occurring on mains supply are acceptable within limits defined in the categories.
Caution
- Caution; Always use ATC recommended fluids in our products – many sealing compounds and materials are present and unapproved fluids have the potential to corrode your application and damage seals.
- Caution; Do not use inadequately rated wiring. Consult an electrician if you are unsure.
- Caution; The safety of any system incorporating the equipment is the responsibility of the assembler of the system.
- Caution; Do not replace detachable mains cords with inadequately rated cords. Contact ATC for appropriately rated products.
INSTALLATION FOR AIR-COOLED UNITS WITH PUSHFIT OR QUICK-RELEASE ADAPTERS
This guide applies to the following product groups;
- M-Series refrigerated units, in the MA485 chassis, with or without an SA00016 options pack.
- A-Series airblast units, in the MA485 chassis, with or without an SA00016 options pack.
HOSE RECOMMENDATIONS
Having ensured that your installation meets all site requirements, it is best
practice that the fluid lines between your application and the chiller have
the following characteristics.
- Short in length – this reduces friction-based pressure drop and addition ambient heat load.
- Large diameter bore – at least 12mm (1/2”).
- Free from 90° bends – to limit the effects of water hammer. If this cannot be avoided, sharp changes of direction should be minimized so far as possible. Doing this correctly can yield higher pump performance and extend time between maintenance intervals. It will also reduce electrical energy consumption.
- Clean – If your installation is to existing pipe work, it is good practice to flush the system with either a commercially available central heating cleaner or 5% acetic acid solution. The system should be flushed clean with tap water to remove all traces of cleaner prior to filling the system. Failing this, it is recommended to use a domestic bleach in solution with tap water, diluted to the point where the bleach can longer be smelled by human nose.
- Opaque, ideally black – to inhibit light passing through the tube and algae building up. Alternatively, solid ABS or copper pipe can be used where application chemistry allows.
- Insulation, where low temperature process is planned – the process line from chiller to application contains the feed of low temperature fluid. Insulation prevents heat from entering this line and can promote better stability. Uninsulated return lines are helpful where free cooling can be obtained by allowing heat to transfer to air – likewise, insulating the return line is helpful if the fluid temperature is below ambient.
Caution; Never use transparent tubing. UV light will pass through, prompting growth of organic contamination.
CONNECTING ADPATERS TO PRODUCT
- Standard units are supplied with 12mm pushfit female connections. These fittings are not valved and will ‘drop’ the volume of the system if left open to atmosphere.
- Ensure the tube selected to connect to the product has been cut square to the centerline of the tube. Cutting at an angle increases the chances that only a partial seal will be achieved. Pushfit fittings can sometimes feel as though they’re pushed fully-home into the connector, but only be halfway in – ensure the tube is pressed in.
- Pushfit connectors supplied are natively 12mm – while you may be able to find 1/2″ tube and operate successfully, other metric to imperial conversions are more difficult. Try to source metric tube.
- Tube selected must be relatively stiff. Polyurethane and Nylon are good choices. Silicon can often be too soft and alignment/support is critical for harder materials like copper. If using Polyurethane tube, ensure you have selected ether-based. Ester-based is not suitable for water.
- Ensure that the system is correctly connected. The labels at the ports are clearly marked with ISO7000 standard inlet and outlet symbols. Ports marked as outlet means fluid leaves the product and must be connected to the process inlet. Check all joints are tight and leak free.
- If your product has the optional SA00016 pack applied, you will have a valved connection. Disconnecting the fittings will retain system volume in the chiller and in the connected tube/hose.
- Where this product is incorporated into other equipment, it is the responsibility of the assembler to ensure safety.
BACKFILLING
- In situations where the chiller is situated physically lower than the application being cooled, fluid will apply pressure to the water circuit of the product.
- The weakest seal is normally the tank lid, and this is typically where fluid will escape the unit.
- Ideally, the product will be located higher or level with the product water-line. If this is not possible, a non-return solenoid valve kit can be installed as an optional standard assembly.
- Please raise any questions with the sales team on sales@app-therm.com.
FILLING A SYSTEM
-
Check all application valves are open, including solenoid valves and variable position valves.
-
The product will require an open water circuit to pump into.
-
Any obstructions can increase the time, or entirely prevent the bleeding of air from the system.
-
Remove the cap from the tank lid on the top of the product.
-
Fill the tank to just underneath the bottom of the filling port.
-
Turn your attention to the main power switch.
-
Immediately after toggling this switch assuming that the power cord is connected and turned on at the wall the product will begin to pump water.
-
Leave the product to run until it cuts out on the level switch interlock.
-
Turn the unit off at the mains switch.
-
Fill the tank again to lift the level switches.
-
Start the product again until the unit cuts out again.
Caution; Do not run the pump dry. Do not deadhead the pump. -
Repeat steps at c) until the chiller tank water level (if visible) doesn’t drop, and the chiller doesn’t cut-out on its level switches.
-
With the unit now running;
-
Leave the cap off the tank for >30mins to allow air to escape, or very loosely screwed on to prevent water splashing out of the tank if the unit has a ‘flow through’ design.
-
Check the application and tubing for signs of leaks whilst the chiller is running.
-
Replace the tank lid fully when satisfied the system is full and bled of air.
DRAINING A SYSTEM
- Isolate the unit. Have a suitable bucket or drain on-hand.
- Remove the tank lid to allow air into the system.
- Disconnect hoses individually. Be aware hoses as well as the unit are filled with fluid.
- Consider using the red transport plugs to block product ports to give yourself time to empty hoses before continuing to empty the product.
- Local rules affect where fluid can be disposed of.
- Ensure hazardous products do not enter the water course and are reclaimed from the unit for professional disposal.
PRODUCTS WITHOUT TEMPERATURE CONTROLLERS / DISPLAYS
This guide may apply to your product if it is designed for continuous
cooling or heating without any form of regulation, i.e., basic airblast
products and KTR.
WHY IS THERE NO CONTROLLER ON MY PRODUCT?
- Some cooling technologies, such as airblast, are inherently safe when left to run without regulation. The worst an airblast can do to a process fluid is bring it down to ambient temperature. Naturally, a lot depends on where the airblast cooler is placed. The same is feasible with an unregulated water-to-water product, although at time of writing, ATC do not make unregulated water-to-water heat exchangers.
- In a refrigerated system, such at ATC’s KTR family, there is a valve that limits the lowest temperature the chiller can reach. These valves are robust and maintain their regulating ability over the lifetime of the product. They can be adjusted to allow sub zero operation; the operator must ensure appropriate process fluids are used to avoid freezing.
BASIC PROGRAMMING GUIDE KR1 (ALL MODELS)
This guide may apply to your product if you require general navigation advice and help accessing settings. If you are planning to change the settings in any way, you may need a copy of the existing settings which are model dependent, signified by a letter on the end of Annex E-15, i.e. Annex E-15A.
DISPLAY CONTENTS DURING NORMAL OPERATION
-
Physical navigation buttons, up, down, return and enter.
-
8888.8 is the actual read value on input sensor.
-
888.8 is the setpoint value.
-
Rectangles bottom left 1-4 display when output is active.
-
MAN LED shows in manual mode (fixed output value).
-
°C or °F shows units as settable in the ‘inP’ group.
-
AL LED appears when output is beyond a set alarm point.
ACCESS TO SETTINGS -
Push the return button for more than 5 seconds. The upper display will show PASS while the lower display will show 0.
-
Using up and down buttons set the programmed password – full access is granted by entering ‘40’. ATC are not responsible for damage either to the chiller or the connected equipment as a result of changing parameters without ATC’s oversight.
-
During parameter modification the instrument continues to perform process control. In certain conditions, when a configuration change can produce a significant change to the process, it is advisable to temporarily stop the controller from controlling during the programming procedure (control outputs will be OFF). A password equal to 2000 + the programmed value (i.e. 2000 + 40 = 2040). The control will restart automatically when the configuration procedure will be manually closed.
-
Push the return button. If the password is correct the display will show the acronym of the first parameter group ‘inP’. Push button for more than 5 seconds, the instrument will come back to the “standard display”.
-
The configuration parameters are collected in various groups. Every group defines all parameters related with a specific function (control, alarms, output functions).
-
Push return button for more than 5 seconds, the instrument will come back to the “standard display”. For specific settings and guidance, review the controller datasheets provided by ATC. If you are not in receipt of these, please contact ATC using the information in the header of this document.
GENERAL NAVIGATION -
Return button; A short press allows to exit from the current parameter group and select a new parameter group. A long press allows you to close the configuration parameter procedure (the instrument will come back to the “standard display”).
-
Enter button; When the upper display is showing a group and the lower display is blank, this key allows to enter in the selected group. When the upper display is showing a parameter and the lower display is showing its value, this key allows to store the selected value for the current parameter and access the next parameter within the same group.
-
Up button; Allows to increase the value of the selected parameter.
-
Down button; Allows to decrease the value of the selected parameter.
-
Pushing both Return and Enter buttons moves back to the previous group. Press return first to start. The selection of the group is cyclic (on a carousel), so it is possible to move back around to the group you require.
CENTRIFUGAL OR TURBINE PUMP WITHOUT RELIEF
This arrangement comprises a centrifugal or turbine type pump without any
form of flowrate control or pressure relief downstream of the pump discharge.
Without any relief, it is critical to ensure the pump is not deadheaded. In
systems with low-pressure pumps and no control valves in the connected
application, this approach provides a simple and cost-effective water circuit,
albeit one more prone to failure through lack of safety devices. This annex
describes ATC’s default settings and how to adjust the system.
REPRESENTATIVE COMPONENT LAYOUT & FUNCTIONS
- A It is important to understand the basic principle that all else being equal, higher flow results in a higher demand for pressure to overcome forces of friction and viscosity. The pump motor generates the motive force required to turn the pump head and create that pressure.
- B The more restrictive a water circuit is, the higher the pressure required to maintain flowrate. Centrifugal and turbine-type pumps are designed to generate lower pressure and higher flowrates. They are mechanically loose which usually leads to a longer lifetime in service.
- Pump discharge – centrifugal is gravity fed and discharges at 90deg to the inlet.
- Temperature sensor – may or may not be present on your unit, but temperature is governed at the outlet.
- Front outlet bulkhead fitting – see Annex C for specific information about connecting to the unit.
- Front inlet bulkhead fitting (hidden) – as above.
- Return to Plate Heat Exchanger (hidden) – layouts vary, but in this unit, we return to the PHE. Other layouts may see a return to tank or return to airblast coil.
- Tank return – the ‘no relief’ system pictured has returned to tank. Some systems will go straight to pump.
- Tank suction – the feed to the pump to begin the path again.
A-SERIES GENERIC INITIAL TROUBLSHOOTING
SYMPTOM| POSSIBLE CAUSE
Unit not running| Check the tank is filled past the level switch to ensure it
can run.
Check temperature of fluid and pump motor. In the case of these reaching
temperatures that could cause damage, the unit will switch off.
Check overload state and ensure internal fuses have continuity.
Check pump motor interlock chain.
Check supply is at correct voltage.
Noisy operation| Air in the system the has not purged causing pump vanes to
rattle (where fitted).
Bearing failure in fan or pump motor causes grinding / intermittent knocking
noise.
Fan blade is running off center and grinding against coil housing.
Fluid lines becoming fouled / containing biological matter| Not using opaque
tubing can lead to UV light passing through the tubing, prompting growth of
organisms.
Not following maintenance schedule for cleaning/flushing.
Fluid seen leaking from system| Fluid may be incompatible with the materials
used in chiller construction. Contact ATC to ensure the fluid is compatible.
Rapid changes in system temperature can cause some materials to change shape
at a faster rate than others and open leak paths. Contact ATC to discuss
alternative materials and parts in water circuit construction if your
temperature range goes beyond the standard for this product range.
In case of centrifugal pump being fitted, minimum head of 2bar has not been
observed.
Poor cooling capacity (undercooling)| Excess application thermal heat load.
See Annex G-2 for a description on how to calculate this.
Ambient air temperature has increased from nominal requirement, or flow has
reduced from cooling fan.
Process fluid pump high flowrate can yield a low delta T, i.e. outlet
temperature to application will be higher than desired and return temperature
will be lower than nominal. Cooling capacity will be the same.
Excess cooling capacity (overcooling)| Reduction in flowrate in an airblast
system without process temperature control can yield outlet temperature much
closer to ambient (lower) than system design nominals. For nominals, please
contact sales@app-therm.com.
One or more component in failure mode generating heat beyond that which the
cooler can reject.
Cooler oversized at point of design or thermal load overestimated – this can
be remedied by blocking part of the cooling coil.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS BY END USER

A vacuum cleaner is recommended for cleaning out the condenser, while soft cloths and IPA are recommended for cleaning metallic surfaces. If any spillages have occurred, best practice is to allow the water to evaporate off and wipe up remaining glycol residue with a cloth. Always clean with power supply isolated.
- Caution; Never blow out the condenser with compressed air.
- Caution; If the mains lead is lost or damaged, contact ATC who will be able to supply a replacement of the correct specification.
GENERIC MAINTENANCE FOR TECHNICIANS
- Warning; Water pressures of up to 10 bar during operation.
- Warning; After switching off, the condenser cooling fan blades continue to rotate. Do not attempt servicing whilst the blades are rotating.
- Warning; All chillers contain water and electricity in close proximity. Ensure the unit is isolated before service. This product is protected from overcurrent by fuses (or MCB) on the mains inlet. Never bypass the overcurrent protection.
Following service or repair by a trained technician;
- Ensure any electrical connections that may have been disturbed are given the ‘tug-test’
- Ensure earth bonding conductors are re-attached.
- Ensure the correct fuses are in place.
- Ensure the mains cord being used is to specification, and is free from damage
- Subject the unit to a PAT test to ensure the unit is safe before running.
- Ensure there are no leaks inside or outside the unit.
- Using the wiring schematic for guidance, simulate faults to check each interlock’s function.

- Applied Thermal Control (ATC) adheres to and embraces the ethical values that support our everyday activities. As an expression of these principles and ethical values, ATC adheres to the principle of responsible sourcing of components containing precious and non-precious metals and metal salts in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
- The metals considered are Tantalum (Ta), Tungsten (W), Tin (Sn) and Gold (Au). ATC actively sources components from suppliers known to be reputable and could demonstrate compliance upon request with the Conflict Minerals acts and guidelines.
- ATC uses Gold and Tin in electrical components, on PCBs and in rotating machinery, as governed by technical requirements of products. These metals could potentially originate from conflict mineral sites. As many of our suppliers do not purchase these metals direct from smelters, both they and ATC must rely heavily on information that will be provided by their suppliers to determine the source and chain of the metals in those products.
- ATC is committed to working with its customers and supply chain to meet the customer’s specification and requirements with regards to traceability, sourcing requirements and restrictions. ATC commits that, to the best of our knowledge, our suppliers are complying with the conflict minerals act as stated in their documentation. These statements are reviewed, and updates obtained as required.

WHAT IS THE REACH REGULATION 1907/2006?
REACH is a regulation of the European Union, adopted to improve the protection of human health and the environment from the risks that can be posed by chemicals, while enhancing the competitiveness of the EU chemicals industry. REACH places the burden of proof on companies. To comply with the regulation, companies must identify and manage the risks linked to the substances they manufacture and market in the EU. They have to demonstrate to ECHA how the substance can be safely used, and they must communicate the risk management measures to the users. If the risks cannot be managed, authorities can restrict the use of substances in different ways. In the long run, the most hazardous substances should be substituted with less dangerous ones. REACH stands for Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals. It entered into force on 1/JUN/2007.
REACH ‘ARTICLE’ COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS
REACH ANNEX XVII COMPLIANCE
- Substances under Annex XVII are restricted either in full (not to be used at all) or for specific uses (can be used in some uses but cannot be used in identified uses).
- Applied Thermal Control has contacted all our suppliers and to the best of our knowledge, none of the articles that we sell intentionally contain any of the Annex XVII substances currently on the candidate list in concentrations of >0.1% by weight.
REACH ANNEX XIV COMPLIANCE
- Substances under Annex XIV require authorization to use in the EU after sunset date, require communication to downstream recipients when over threshold (0.1% w/w at article level) and require notification to ECHA when SVHC over threshold and imported over 1000kg annually and use not already registered.
- Applied Thermal Control has contacted all our suppliers and to the best of our knowledge, none of the articles that we sell intentionally contain any of the Annex XVII substances currently on the candidate list in concentrations of >0.1% by weight.
SVHC LIST COMPLIANCE
- Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) require communication to downstream recipients when over threshold (0.1% w/w at the article level), notification to the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) when SVHC over threshold and when imported over 1000kg annually and use not already registered.
- Applied Thermal Control has contacted all our suppliers and to the best of our knowledge, none of the articles that we sell intentionally contain any of the Annex XVII substances currently on the candidate list in concentrations of >0.1% by weight.
WHAT IS THE POPs REGULATION 2019/1021?
- POPs stands for persistent organic pollutants. In Europe, the global Stockholm Convention is implemented through POPs legislation. POPs are organic substances that persist in the environment, accumulate in living organisms and pose a risk to our health and the environment. They can be transported by air, water or migratory species across international borders, reaching regions where they have never been produced or used. International risk management is necessary as no region can manage the risks posed by these substances alone.
- The European Parliament (and Council) issued regulation 2019/1021 on 20/JUN/2019, and further amended (regulation 2020/784) on 8/APR/2020.
POPs LISTED UNDER INITIAL REGULATION 2019/1021
- Pesticides;
- Aldrin, Chlordane, DDT, Dieldrin, Endrin, Heptachlor, Hexachlorobenzene, Mirex, Toxaphene.
- Industrial Chemicals;
- Hexachlorobenzene, Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs).
- Industrial Chemical Byproducts;
- Hexachlorobenzene byproducts;
- Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDD/PCDF), and PCBs.
POPs LISTED UNDER AMENDMENT 2020/784
Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), its salts and PFOA-related compounds.
POPs COMPLIANCE STATEMENT
We certify that to the best of our knowledge, based upon up-to-date
information from our suppliers, all products supplied by Applied Thermal
Control are fully POPs compliant in accordance with regulations and amendments
above mentioned.
WHAT IS THE RoHS DIRECTIVE?
The RoHS Directive places restrictions on the use of certain hazardous
substances in electrical and electronic equipment (EEE). RoHS compliance has
been required for many years, however in 2014 it became a mandatory
requirement under CE Marking. ATC products do not clearly fall within any of
the existing categories of equipment, but as of 23/JUL/2019, all EEE not
covered falls within scope of the directive. In contrast to RoHS 1, RoHS 2 is
a CE marking Directive, and requires, for finished EEE, the use of the CE mark
on the product to show compliance. The responsibility for affixing the CE mark
resides with the manufacturer.
RoHS 1 2002/95/EC
Adopted in February 2003 by the EU and taking effect on 1/JUL/2006, RoHS 1
restricted the use of 6 hazardous materials;
- Lead (Pb)
- Mercury (Hg)

- Hexavalent Chromium (Cr6+)
- Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBB)
- Polybrominated Diphenyl Ether (PBDE)
We certify that to the best of our knowledge, based upon up-to-date information from our suppliers, all products supplied by Applied Thermal Control are fully RoHS 1 compliant.
RoHS 2 2011/65/EU
- Adopted in July 2011 by the EU and taking effect on 2/JAN/2013, RoHS 2 expands the scope of RoHS 1 by adding new categories. RoHS 2 compliance is required to CE mark the product. Compliance with RoHS 2 is mandatory from 22/JUL/2019.
- We certify that to the best of our knowledge, based upon up-to-date information from our suppliers, all products supplied by Applied Thermal Control are fully RoHS 2 compliant.
RoHS 3 2015/863/EU
Adopted in 2015 by the EU and taking effect from 22/JUL/2019, RoHS 3 adds four
additional substances to RoHS 1’s list.
- Bis(2-Ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP): < 1000 ppm
- Benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP): < 1000 ppm
- Dibutyl phthalate (DBP): < 1000 ppm
- Di-isobutyl phthalate (DIBP): < 1000 ppm
We certify that to the best of our knowledge, based upon up-to-date information from our suppliers, all products supplied by Applied Thermal Control are fully RoHS 3 compliant.

WARRANTY TERMS
Please visit the website warranty registration page to ensure ATC can offer you the best possible support; https://www.app-therm.com/warranty- registration/
-
For how long is my ATC product warrantied?
ATC provides a comprehensive return to base 2-year parts, 1-year labor warranty from delivery as standard on all new equipment, provided it has been installed and operated in accordance with the manual. -
Where will ATC fulfill the product warranty?
ATC’s standard warranty terms are Return to Base (RTB) – issues with chillers are often easily solvable over the phone or email, or by reviewing ATC’s technical guidance on the web and in the product manual. On occasion, at the discretion of ATC, goods may be serviced on site FOC or a service loan unit may be supplied. Warranty cover excludes the cost of travel by engineers and loan unit rental charges. Obtaining onsite service for a product, even in full warranty, is a chargeable service. -
Who is liable for shipping charges in the event of warranty failure?
During the first year of the warranty period, freight costs for shipping to ATC are for the customer’s account. Freight costs for shipping from ATC are for ATC’s account.
During the second year of the warranty, freight costs to and from ATC are for the customer’s account. -
I’m experiencing problems with my chiller. It’s within warranty – what do I do next?
Contact ATC to discuss the issue you are having. The contact details in the header of this document are an ideal place to start. Be sure to have your model number and serial number on-hand to aid those attempting to solve remotely. -
Telephone support couldn’t fix my chiller – what do I do next?
An RMA form must be completed. This allows both the end-user and ATC to clarify your details, to set the party responsible for shipping costs, and to set a different return address if desired. Shipping advice is provided, and the end-user must sign a declaration that states the unit is safe to handle. Return the form by email for fastest response. -
What happens if my chiller failed outside warranty or requires non-warranty repair work?
A purchase order will be requested to cover an initial inspection – this will only be invoiced if the inspection shows there is no fault. If packaging is required, i.e. a crate, a separate charge will be levied. If the end user prefers ATC to arrange a collection, a shipping charge may be levied. -
Our process must continue running – can we have a loan unit whilst our chiller is in repair?
ATC hold several standard air-cooled chillers at the factory for the sole purpose of offering for loan – these are available on a first-come, first- serve basis. Models up-to 3kW capacity are available.
