RecPro 1-KIT-12VRV-1 12V RV Air Conditioner
General Information
Your Premier Products Turbo II 12V Air Conditioner was designed to operate from a 12V DC power source capable of supporting a power draw of 100 Amps constant. Your Turbo II was designed with a soft start inverter driven compressor to ensure power draw never exceeds 100 Amps. If the Air Conditioner isn’t operating properly, the power supply should be examined first by a qualified technician to ensure a proper power supply is present. Air Conditioner Performance: Your Turbo II air conditioner is capable of cooling the air entering it, as a general rule of thumb, by 17-24 degrees. This can be measured by taking the temperature of the air going into it, and comparing the temperature of the air coming out of the louvers. Humidity levels, sun load on the outside unit, and several other factors can affect this temperature difference however you should always see a 17-24 degree difference. When measuring to ensure proper operation, always allow the unit to operate for 15 minutes before taking these temperatures. As long as you are seeing this temperature difference your AC is operating as designed and at capacity. The following can aid in maintaining a comfortable temperature inside your vehicle: parking in a shaded area, keeping all windows and doors closed, avoiding prolonged use of heat producing appliances, and lowering any window coverings. Compressor Protection Circuit: Your Turbo II is equipped with safety switches to protect the compressor from premature failure. If an abnormal condition occurs (Failure of blower or fan motor, dirty condenser coil, dirty air filters) this may cause the compressor to not run. This will be noticed in the temperature difference discussed in the previous paragraph. If after performing the maintenance items in Section III of this user’s manual, your AC isn’t operating at full capacity, please take it to a qualified technician for further diagnosis.
Control Operations
There are 2 options available to control your Turbo II Air Conditioner. Option one is through the Vehicle Control System installed by the vehicle manufacturer. For operation instructions for this option, please refer to the manufacturer’s user manual for control operation. Option 2 is with the Premier Products Digital Controller. Please refer to the Digital Controller Users Manual for instructions on control operation. Maintenance Your Turbo II Air Conditioner requires very little regular maintenance. There are only 2 maintenance items that need to be performed by the owner. These are however, very important, as these will help ensure you are getting full capacity from the Air Conditioner.
Cleaning And Maintenance
Cleaning of Air Filter
Your AC is equipped with a washable filter that needs to periodically be
rinsed out. The filters are reusable and can be cleaned with water. The Filter
is designed to capture dirt, dust, grease, lint, etc and keep these things
from getting to the internal parts of your air conditioner. When the filter
becomes too “clogged”, this can lead to performance issues with your AC
including lowered air flow volume and compressor short cycling. Important: Do
not operate your Turbo II for extended periods of time without the air filter
installed. This will lead to dirt, dust, grease, lint, etc clogging the
cooling coil which will result in a much more costly repair. To remove the air
filter simply remove the 4 thumb screws from the air filter retaining ring.
Lower the ring and filters from the ceiling assembly. Simply rinse out the air
filter with water from a sink faucet and then reassemble.
Cleaning of Condenser Coil
While driving down the road, over time, the condenser coil of your Turbo II
can become partially clogged with dust, dirt, grease, and general road debris.
Because of this it is necessary to periodically (once/yr) rinse out the coil
with water. Important: Do not use high pressure water to clean the condenser
coil. This can lead to damage of the aluminum fins on the coil which can lead
to system failure. Use only normal water pressure from a typical garden hose.
Simply rinsing off this dirt and debris will ensure maximum system
performance.
Warranty Service
In the unfortunate case that your Turbo II needs warranty or service nwork, please obtain authorization, service center locations, and technical support via hvacsupport@premierproducts.net or 1-855-881-1800.
