Mounting
Always disconnect the power supply before opening the unit.
Heat load to be dissipated from enclosure should not exceed specific cooling
output of the unit at any condition. When selecting a cooling unit, always
allow for a safety margin of at least 15% extra cooling output in the worst
conditions. Air inlets and outlets must be completely free from obstruction.
Ensure that flows of air leaving and entering the cooling unit, internal and
external, are not obstructed. Cooling unit enclosure air suction hole must be
installed at the highest possible point. When installing the unit on a door
ensure it can take the weight.
Before drilling the enclosure, ensure the fixing elements and couplings will not interfere with the equipment inside the enclosure itself. Disconnect power before starting any work inside the enclosure. Following this 1:1 Scale Drilling Template, drill the holes and make the required cuts on the enclosure. This template may have been affected by storage conditions, please check this template by verifying values of the largest dimensions before drilling. Fit the sealing strip to the cooling unit on the side connected to the enclosure and follow the installation diagram.
Mounting Principle
WARNING:
- Do not use within the first 15 minutes after installation!
- Use only the supplied mounting hardware.
- Tighten fasteners to 40 inch lb.
- Ensure the mounting surface does not warp after assembly and reinforce it if necessary.

Electrical Connection
The cooling unit is used where heat needs to be dissipated from electrical
control cabinets or similar enclosures in order to protect heat sensitive
components. The unit has two completely separate air circuits which ensure
that the clean cabinet air does not come into contact with the ambient air
which may well be dirty or polluted. Control cabinet air conditioners can
dissipate large quantities of heat from sealed enclosures, such as control
cabinets, into the ambient air and at the same time reduce the cabinet
internal temperature to below that of the ambient air.
The control cabinet air conditioner can function without problems in extreme ambient conditions (e.g. dusty and oily air) with a standard operating temperature ranging between -4°F and 131°F. The stated cooling capacities are according to DIN 3168.
Door Switch
The unit can be switched on and off via a door contact switch. When delivered
the door contact terminals are bridged on the female connector. To connect the
door contact switch remove the bridge and connect door contact switch. The
contact must be closed when the cabinet door is closed.
Controller Programming
The cooling unit is intended to be used as a complementary accessory to larger industrial equipment. The unit is used where heat needs to be dissipated from electrical control cabinets or similar enclosures in order to protect heat sensitive components. It is not intended for household use. The unit has two completely separate air circuits which ensure that the clean cabinet air does not come into contact with the ambient air which may well be dirty or polluted. Enclosure cooling units can dissipate large quantities of heat from sealed enclosures such as electrical enclosures into the ambient air and at the same time reduce the cabinet internal temperature to below that of the ambient air.
The unit can function without problems in extreme ambient conditions (e.g. dusty and oily air) with a standard operating temperature ranging between +10°C and +55°C. Units can be ordered with an additional electrical cabinet heater. For the cooling capacities and environmental ratings please refer to the type plate data.
Controller
The display shows the temperature in the range of -50°C to +150°C (-58°F to +302°F). The temperature is displayed with resolution of tenths between -19.9°C and +99.9°C (-3.8°F to +211.8°F). During programming, it shows the codes and values of the parameters. The display also shows icons according to occurring events.
Programming
The operating parameters can be modified using the front keypad. Access
differs depending on the type of parameter. Access to configuration parameters
is protected by a password that prevents unwanted modifications or access by
unauthorised persons.
Setting cooling set point, St1:
- Press and hold “SET” until the display shows St1. Once released the pre-set value of St1 will appear.(default: +35°C / +95°F)
- Reach the desired value by using ▲ or ▼.
- Press “SET” again to save the new value of St1.
Setting heating set point, St2 (only for units supplied with internal heater):
- Press “SET” twice slowly and display should show St2 and then the pre-set value of St2.(default: +5°C / +41°F)
- Reach the desired value by using ▲ or ▼.
- Press “SET” again to save the new value of St2.
Setting temperature units (°C / °F), low temperature alarm and high temperature alarm:
-

-
Use ▲ or ▼ to reach the desired parameter:
• C18 for temperature unit of measure
• °C = 0
• °F = 1
• P25 for low temperature alarm threshold (default -10°C / +14°F)
• P26 for high temperature alarm threshold (default +55°C / +131°F) -
Press “SET” on the desired parameter to display the current value.
-
Use ▲ or ▼ to reach the desired value.
-
Pressing “SET” temporarily saves the new value and returns to the parameters list.
-
Repeat steps 2-5 to set other parameters.
-
Press “PRG” for 5 seconds to permanently save the new values.
Test Function
Different test functions can be used depending on the combination of keys
pressed. Such tests run for the duration of 4 minutes.
- “SET+▲” tests Compressor and Ambient Blower relays.
- “SET+▼” tests Alarms and Heater relays
Alarm Relay Function
Both normally closed (NC) and normally open (NO) alarm contacts are provided.
These refer to the alarm state. Under normal conditions, the NC contact is
closed and the NO contact is open. When an alarm condition is present or the
door contact is open, the NC contact will open and the NO contact will close.
System power failure will give an alarm condition.
Notes:
- State 2: Additional icons (1,3,4, Reverse, Direct, Test) depending on operation.
- State 3: The display shows “OFF” alternating with the standard display.
- State 4: The display shows “EXX” alternating with the standard display – at the same time, the alarm icon flashes.

Taking Into Operation
Attention!
The unit can be damaged by lack of lubricant. To ensure that the compressor is
adequately lubricated, the oil, which has been displaced during transport,
must be allowed to flow back into it. The unit must therefore be allowed to
stand for at least 30 minutes before being connected to the mains and taken
into operation. Upon connection the internal fan will start working. If the
temperature inside the enclosure is higher than the set value of the
controller, both the compressor and external air fan start working. Once the
air inside the enclosure reaches the set temperature, the compressor and
external fan will stop.
The unit is pre-set at 95°F, which is suitable for most of the electronic
devices.
If Drainage required, use PVC 10mm (3/8 inch) ID Hose.
