INTRODUCTION & SAFETY

Congratulations on purchasing a new Braemar Invertair™ – True Inverter Add-On Cooling unit!

Please keep this Manual and the Warranty Booklet in a safe place, along with the original purchase documents, plus all relevant installation work performed. Please register the Warranty straight away, by following the steps set out in the Warranty Booklet.

The Braemar Invertair™ – True Inverter Add-On Cooling unit is a refrigerated cooling only, split type air conditioning system, designed  specifically for connection to a Braemar “T
TQM Extra Air” Series gas ducted heating unit, using MaglQtouch Controller.

The installer must read the Installation Manual before installing the Braemar InvertairTM

True Inverter Add-On Cooling unit. The home owner/user should read the Owner’s Manual before operating the unit.

To ensure the warranty on the unit is continued and valid, the unit must be checked and serviced by the home owner/user as per the requirements in the Maintenance & Service section and the Maintenance Schedule. This will also prolong the life of your air conditioner.

The home owner/user should regularly check the Air Inlet side of the Outdoor unit (see the diagram on page 1) to ensure grass, leaf and other matter are not drawn into or onto the Inlet side of the Outdoor unit. Restriction to the air flow across the coil will reduce the system’s capacity, and result in high operation pressures and excessive operating costs

A return air filter MUST be installed by the installer at the return air grille. The air filter should be inspected and cleaned at least every two weeks during summer or other periods when the Braemar Invertair – True Inverter Add-On Cooling unit is used.

Note: the manufacturer recommends that low level return air grilles are installed

Important! THE AUSTRALIAN GREENHOUSE OFFICE HAS ISSUED VARIOUS REGULATIONS ON THE USE AND DISPOSAL OF REFRIGERANTS IN THE UNIT. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE REGULATIONS MAY HARM THE ENVIRONMENT AND COULD LEAD TO THE IMPOSITION OF SUBSTANTIAL FINES. WHERE SPECIFIED, ONLY QUALIFIED AND LICENSED TECHNICIANS SHOULD PERFORM WORK ON THIS UNIT, FAILING WHICH THE WARRANTY ON THE UNIT WILL BE VOID.

WARNING! This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a Seeley service agent or similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
Any unventilated area where the appliance is installed shall be so constructed that should any refrigerant leak, it will not stagnate so as to create a fire or explosion hazard

Ducted systems which have outlets in rooms of areas less than MINIMUM ROOM AREA shall not have continuously open flames (i.e. an operating gas appliance) or other potential ignition source (i.e. operating electric heater or hot surface).

Auxiliary devices which may be a potential ignition source shall not be installed in the duct work.

OPERATION

Your Braemar InvertairTM – True Inverter Add- On Cooling unit has been designed and built with reliable, quality components. To ensure many years of trouble free, dependable service please read the following pages very carefully, and please ensure that you follow all of the instructions.

Please refer to your Braemar Ducted Gas Heater Home Owner’s Manual for the setting and operation of your Braemar InvertairTM – True Inverter Add-On Cooling unit.

REFRIGERATED COOLING ZONING
TQ3 Series
The TQ3 Series of Braemar Ducted Gas Heaters are not designed for zoning, and when operated all outlets will be open for heating. If a Braemar InvertairTM – True Inverter Add-On Cooling unit is connected, then when it is operating all outlets will be open for cooling. Accordingly, if you choose to have a zoning control system fitted to your TQ3 Series Heater, then because it has not been designed for zoning, you may be disappointed with the heating and the cooling performance.

However, any issues will need to be referred back to the supplier and/or installer of the zoning control system.

CONNECTION TO OTHER DUCTED GAS HEATER BRANDS
The Braemar InvertairTM – True Inverter Add- On Cooling unit is not suitable to be connected to other brands of ducted gas heaters.

MAINTENANCE & SERVICE

AIR FILTER
It is important to check and clean the air filter as per the Maintenance Schedule below. A dirty air filter will not allow the correct amount of clean air to pass through your air conditioner, resulting in poor performance and increased running costs. You should ask the installer to show you where the air filter is located.

To clean the air filter, it should be removed and then cleaned with a water hose using moderate pressure, spraying from the internal side. Make sure it is completely dry before refitting it. If it is very dirty and cannot be cleaned, the filter will need replacing. You should never operate the air conditioner without the air filter in place.

INDOOR COIL (Refer page 2)

The indoor coil does not have any moving parts, but it is advisable to have the drain and duct connections checked on an annual basis (as set out in the Maintenance Schedule below). Drains can become blocked by insects, and rats have been known to chew through the drain to get to the water in the pipe.

OUTDOOR UNIT (Refer page 2)
The Outdoor unit has either one or two fans, and draws air through the appliance to expel the heat generated during the cooling cycle. We recommend checking that plants haven’t grown into or around the air intake or outlet, along with other debris that may build up over time, namely, leaves and the like.

REFRIGERANT
The refrigerant is the life blood of your air conditioning unit. Not only does the correct refrigerant charge provide you with reliable and economical cooling, it also provides the cooling for the compressor. A lack of refrigerant, due to a leak, will cause the compressor to overheat and expire prematurely. You will notice a decline in cooling effect and an increase in power consumption. Therefore, having a qualified, licensed technician service your air conditioner will save you money in the long term.

PLEASE REFER TO THE NEXT PAGE FOR THE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

Please NOTE! the Maintenance Schedule covers Year 1 to Year 5. To preserve your investment for many years afterwards, we strongly recommend that you continue to maintain and service the Braemar Invertair™ – True Inverter Add-On Cooling unit as per the items and frequency set out in the Schedule, and as indicated elsewhere in this manual.

OPERATION TIPS

The following events may occur during normal operation:

The following events may occur during normal operation

1. Protection of the air conditioner.
   Compressor protection
   • The compressor cannot restart for 3 minutes after it stops.
   • The supply air drops below a pre-determined set point; this prevents the indoor coil from freezing.

2. A white mist coming out from the Indoor unit.
   • A white mist may generate due to a large temperature difference between air inlet and air outlet on COOL mode in an indoor environment that has a high relative humidity

3. Low noise of the air conditioner.
   • You may hear a low hissing sound when the compressor is running or has just stopped
   running.
   This sound is the sound of the refrigerant flowing or coming to a stop.
   • You can also hear a low “squeak” sound when the compressor is running or has just stopped running.

This is caused by heat expansion and cold contraction of the plastic parts in the unit when the temperature is changing.

4. Dust is blown out from the Indoor unit.
This is a normal condition when the air conditioner has not been used for a long time or during first use of the unit.
5. A peculiar smell comes out from the Indoor unit.
This is caused by the Indoor unit giving off smells permeated from building material, from furniture, smoke (for example if someone is cooking food), or from the duct work.
6. FAN operation during COOL mode.
When indoor air temperature reaches the setting on the MaglQtouch Controller, the compressor will stop operating and after approximately 60 seconds the indoor fan will stop blowing air. When the room temperature rises back to the set point, the indoor fan and the compressor will start again.
