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

|

• Do not use within the first 15 minutes after installation!
• Use only the supplied mounting hardware.

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.

Wiring of a single phase 230 V unit

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.
