TROUBLESHOOTING NOTES

If refrigeration failure occurs this is due to the inlet(return) and outlet (supply) air temperature being less than 5 for more than 3 minutes. Indicating that cooling is not taking place. If this occurs shut the compressor and evaporator fan off.
Clear the fault and restart the unit.
Defrosting temperatures: Defrost error will occur if temperature of the air outlet(supply) is lower than 2 which will cause the compressor to stop functioning. The unit will resume functioning once the tem-perature is above 6, and the defrost fault will disappear resuming normal working mode afterwards.

LOW VOLTAGE FAULT AND UNDERVOLTAGE VALUE ADJUSTMENT
The undervoltage value can be adjusted between the range of 9-28 volts. When the battery voltage is lower than the under-voltage protection values the system will stop working and the error code “LU” will be displayed on the main display.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR 12V/24V ROOF-TOP AC UNIT

To see the step-by-step video of the installation process, click on the link below or search for Mabru RVSC on YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xst1ugqDAd4 1 / The unit can be installed in an existing 14 “x 14” “standard size” opening with a bit of disassembly/assembly or, if you want to be simpler and not perform this disassembly/assembly, you can choose to cut a hole using the template provided with your unit.

If you want to install the unit in an existing 14 “x 14” “standard size” opening, review the following steps: A / Remove the inner plastic cover and then remove the styrofoam airflow director shown in the photo below.Mabru-RVSC12DC-12V-
Air-Conditioner-fig-9

B / Position the unit on your ceiling aligned with your existing 14 “x 14” ceiling penetration so that the airflow openings on the bottom of the air conditioning unit are “above” the cutout area of your ceiling. . You should be able to see each of these openings on the bottom of the air conditioning unit from inside your truck. These provide airflow in and out of the unit, so they cannot be blocked by your van’s roof sheet. See below photos showing: the area on the bottom of the AC unit with these openings. The area is
approximately 10 3/4″ long by 12 1/2″Mabru-RVSC12DC-12V-Air-Conditioner-

You can use additional seal as Proflex or 5200 if you want make sure of the waterproof of the seal. C/ Once the weather proofing is installed, the unit may be installed. Ensure that a gap of 25mm is present between the mounting plate and the outside roof to allow for adequate ventilation for the outside portion of the rooftop AC. D/ Once in position the unit is ready to be mounted to the roof using the 4 securing screws and the bracket.Tighten the screws no more thanMabru-RVSC12DC-12V-Air-Conditioner-fig-16

15mm deep into the roof. Driving the screws any further may result in damage to the roof or the unit securing plate. E/ The unit is now properly secured and you can choose to put in place the “outer trim panel” with the LED lights or not. If you design and decide to create your own return grill trim on the interior as below, you will need to keep enough air flow and take care to not have any restricon to avoid any problems (evaporator frozen, …)Mabru-

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Once your unit is installed you will need to connect the unit and electrical system properly. Components required for a battery bank installation include a DC-to-DDC charger, 100 Amp Breaker or in-line fuse (not recommended), Lithium Iron batteries, and 4-gauge wire positive and negative for connections ample length to reach the unit and alternator. A Mount your DC-to-DC charger and Lithium Iron batteries in the desired location securely. Then connect your positive and negative terminals to the engine battery or alternator and run them to the positive and negative terminals of the DC-to-DC charger.Mabru-
RVSC12DC-12V-Air-Conditioner-fig-21

B/ From the DC-to-DC charger you will run the cables to a breaker. Ideally, that breaker will be 100 Amps to protect that circuit from potential overvoltage. C/ You will run your wires from your breaker to the Lithium Iron batteries.Mabru-RVSC12DC-12V-Air-Conditioner-fig-22

D/ Once the batteries are securely connected you may connect the Rooftop Unit using the wiring harnesses that are installed on the unit.Mabru-RVSC12DC-
12V-Air-Conditioner-fig-23

Lastly, once all connections are made, verify that all the connections are tight and secure. Failure to do so may result in equipment damage, injury, or fire. Once verified, you may power on the system and begin operating your rooftop air conditioner.
