4.1 How it works
This section describes the affects of seawater on a marine climate control system.

• Cool mode operation. The air conditioner unit operates most efficiently in sea- water temperatures below 90 °F (32.22 °C). At higher seawater temperatures, the unit will operate at a reduced capacity. A high-pressure shutdown may occur at higher seawater temperatures.
• Heat mode operation. As the seawater gets colder, less heat is available and the heating efficiency is reduced. Full heating capacity is obtained at about 55 °F (12.78 °C) seawater temperature. Performance drops to about 50 % of the rated capacity in 40 °F (4.44 °C) water. In water temperatures below 40 °F (4.44 °C), the system pressure can be so low that the unit will shut down on a low-pressure fault. This problem is compounded when the cabin is also cold. See Troubleshoot ing for more information.

This section describes the operating features.

1. Use the main menu settings to adjust the operating parameters and to fine-tune the system for the most efficient operation. Variables such as ducting, sensor location, and system layout affect the system op- eration.
   The control has factory default settings stored in permanent memory that can be re- called.

2. The control has factory default settings stored in permanent memory that can be re- called. To return to the default settings, select main menu > control parameters > recall defaults.

3. Reprogrammed, new settings can be saved as memorized settings, and then recalled and saved at any time. To use the reprogrammed settings, select main menu > control parameters > memorize settings > recall memorized.
   See section in full manual “Understanding the Memory Settings“ for more information.

9.1 Understanding the operating cycles
This section describes how the system responds during normal heating and cooling cycles.
Automatic mode
Heating and cooling are supplied as required.
A cooling cycle will start when the cabin temperature exceeds the set point by 2 °F (1 °C) and will continue to cool until the temperature equals the set point. See the section in full manual set point temperature differential for instructions on how to reduce this variation to 1 °F (1 °C). To switch from cooling to heating, the cabin temperature must drop below the set point by at least 4 °F (2 °C). Similarly, if heating is required, a heating cycle will start when the cabin temperature is below the set point by 2 °F (1 °C) and will continue to heat until the temperature equals the set point.
The cabin temperature must exceed the set point by at least 4 °F (2 °C) to switch from heating to cooling.
Cool or heat mode

• By selecting cool mode, only cooling is supplied.
• By selecting heat mode, only heating is supplied.

See the section set point temperature differential for instructions on how to reduce this variation to 1 °F (1 °C)
When the heating or cooling set point is satisfied, the compressor cycles off and the fan returns to low speed.
The fan speed remains constant if manual fan speed is selected. For more information on this feature, see “Understanding the Operating Modes.
CW systems
This section applies to CW systems only.

1. The fan remains in low speed until an adequate water temperature is available. Heat will be supplied when no heating is available (water temperature is inadequate) only if the optional electric heater is installed and programmed. An adequate cooling or heating water temperature is defined by the water temperature differential setting, under CW control parameters. The factory default is set at a 15 °F (8 °C) differential from the ambient air temperature.

Reversing valve
This section applies to DX systems only.

• When the system is running and heating or cooling is required, the reversing valve toggles to the opposite mode to reduce the starting surge of the compressor.
• When a cooling or heating cycle is called for and if the system has been off for less than five minutes.
•  When a cycle is interrupted from the display panel by pressing the power icon or changing the set point.

9.2 Understanding the operating modes
This section describes the available operating modes.
Off
All control outputs are turned off. All settings are saved in nonvolatile memory.
On
Power is supplied to the appropriate outputs and the display indicates the current state of operation. The operating and program parameters resume based on those last stored when the unit was operating.
Automatic
The system provides heating and cooling as required. The automatic mode icon displays the cabin temperature in a given mode and is maintained within 2 °F (1°C) of the set point by default. See the section set point temperature differential for instructions on how to reduce this variation to 1 °F (1 °C) If the system was most recently cooling, the cabin temperature must drop below the set point by at least 4 °F (2 °C) for the system to switch from cooling to heating.
Similarly, if the system was most recently heating, the cabin temperature must exceed the set point by at least or 4 °F (2 °C) for the system to switch from heating to cooling. This behavior prevents small temperature overshoots from causing the system to switch between heating and cooling when it is not necessary.
Cool
The cooling mode icon displays and only the cooling system operates as required. If the ambient temperature drops below the set point, the system will not automatically switch to heat mode.
Heat
he heating mode icon displays and only the heating system operates as required. If the ambient temperature rises above the set point, the system will not automatically switch to the cool mode.
Dehumidification
The dehumidification mode helps to control humidity while away from the boat or away from a particular cabin. The dehumidification mode will also prevent the boat or a particular cabin from dropping below a minimum temperature to prevent the contents from freezing. When the temperature drops low, eliminating moisture may become less of a concern and maintaining some minimum temperature may become more important. The change range is 40.0 … 75.0 °F (4.44 … 23.88 °C). To adjust the 50 °F (10 °C) factory default to a different temperature, see full manual for section humidity mode minimum temperature.
While the control is in On mode, press the mode icon until the dehumidification mode icon displays. Once the dehumidification mode is enabled, the fan circulates the air for 30 min. During this time, the air temperature is sampled and entered into memory. After 30 min, a cooling cycle starts and continues until the temperature is lowered 2 °F (1°C) or until the cooling cycle runs a maximum of one hour. Four hours after the temperature is satisfied or the cooling cycle times out, this cycle repeats. After the 30 min fan circulation, if the temperature is at or above the factory default setting of 50 °F (10 °C), a cooling cycle starts and runs as described above. However, if the temperature is below 50 °F (10 °C), a heating cycle will begin. The heating cycle will continue until the temperature reaches 50 °F (10 °C) or until the heating cycle runs a maximum of one hour.
NOTE For DX systems only: on systems configured with reverse-cycle heat, the dehumidification mode heat cycle will not run when the ambient temperature is below 40 °F (4.44 °C).
This protects the condenser coil from freezing. Systems configured with auxiliary electric heat will run the dehumidification mode heat cycle regardless of the room temperature.
The word Dehumidify displays when the control is in dehumidification mode. It flashes if the optional humidity sensor is connected and operating in the cooling mode.
9.3 Understanding the fan modes
This section describes the available fan modes.
Automatic
The automatic fan mode allows the Smart Touch Cabin Control to decide the required fan speed based on the temperature differential. This permits a balance between the most efficient temperature control and slower, quieter fan speeds.
Three automatic fan speeds are available: high, medium and low.
To select automatic fan mode, press and release the Fan icon until the word Auto displays above the graph.

Three automatic fan speeds are available: high, medium and low.
To select automatic fan mode, press and release the Fan icon until the word Auto displays above the graph.
Fan-only
The fan-only mode operates the fan for air circulation when no cooling or heating is desired.

1. Beginning in Off mode, press and release the Fan icon until the desired speed is reached.
2. Press and release a fourth time to turn off the fan or place it in auto mode.

NOTE Turning on the control will revert the fan to the automatic mode or the last selected manual fan setting.
Cycled fan
The cycled fan mode operates the fan only during heating or cooling cycles.
When used with an optional electric heater, the fan remains on for four minutes after the heater cycles off.
Continuous fan
The continuous fan mode operates the fan continuously as long as the system is in On mode.

Control parameters

This section describes the settings available in the different software menus.
NOTICE! If the unit is cool-only (does not have a reversing valve), change the DX operational setting Heat Pump/Cool Only mode to “Cool Only”.

• Once this parameter is set, the operational mode selections are limited to off, cool, optional auxiliary heat, and dehumidification.
• Failure to obey this notice will cause the unit to cool in both modes. See the section Heat Pump/Cool-Only Mode under Understanding the DX operational settings topic.

NOTICE! If the air conditioner has a shadedpole (SP) fan motor, youmust program “SP” into general setting 8 (fan motor type) before operating the equipment.

• The SP unit has an overhanging blower motor. However, the split-capacitor (SC) high-velocity (HV) fan motor is inside the blower, and the unit will have “VTD” or “HV” in the model number.
• Only reprogram this general setting if you do not have an HV blower.

De-Ice Cycle| Prevents ice buildup on the evaporator coil during extended periods of cooling operation. In- stallation variables such as grille sizes, length of ducting, insula- tion, and ambient temperatures decide the run time required to achieve the set point. Fac- tors that substantially increase run time include operating the system with hatches and doors open and programming an un- realistic set point (e.g. 65 °F (18.33 °C). Such situations can cause evaporator ice to form on warm humid days. This monitors the room air temperature in ten- minute intervals during a cooling cycle.| 1. Tap Main Menu.
2. Tap Control Parameters.
3. Tap Settings Screen (for DX sys- tem).
4. Then tap De-Ice Cycle. Depending on the parameter value and the change in room temperature during these monitoring intervals, the control performs actions to prevent ice from forming or to melt ice that has already formed. This is accomplished by short compressor shut- down periods combined with a one-speed in- crease in fan speed and by periodic heat mode cycles with the fan turned off. The parameter setting for de-icing depends on the sensor: the optional inside air temperature sensor or the display built-in temperature sensor.
NOTE Installing an optional in- side air temperature sensor great- ly increases the effectiveness of the de-icing feature, and this op- tion should be considered when- ever the display built-in tempera- ture sensor cannot read the room temperature accurately.
1. If using an optional inside air temper- ature sensor: Set this parameter to en- able with 5 °F (3 °C) sensor differential to turn the de-icing feature On, or set to Off to disable.
2. If using the display built-in tempera- ture sensor: Select one of the following two modes:
a. Option (a): Set to enable with a or 5 °F (3 °C) sensor differential to as- sume the display sensor may read the room temperature as much as or 5 °F (3 °C) greater than the actual evaporator temperature.
b. Option (b): For more extreme in- stallation, set to enable with a or 7 °F (4 °C) sensor differential to assume the display sensor may read the room temperature as much as 7 °F (4 °C) greater than the actual evaporator temperature.
NOTE Only use option (b) if op- tion (a) does not prevent evaporate- tor ice from forming.
NOTE Both modes try to pay for any temperature discrepancy from the display built-in temperature sensor. Although a discrepancy is not typical, installation vari- ables such as where the display is placed inside the room near an open door or in direct sunlight can affect how accurately it reads the actual room temperature.

10.4.1 Understanding the backup battery
This section describes the response to a power loss.
Memory
When the Smart Touch Cabin Control loses power, the operating parameters are retained for up to two years. When power is restored, the control resumes operating as last programmed. The Smart Touch Cabin Control has a battery backup. If the battery backup is removed, only the time and date settings will be lost.
Rechargeable battery
The Smart Touch Cabin Control comes with a rechargeable battery. The battery recharges whenever the control is powered, similar to a computer motherboard battery, so there should never be a need to install or replace the backup battery.
When the battery drains due to inactivity, the only information lost is the date and time. In addition, the screen lock PIN will reset to its default (“1234”). All other programming parameters, calibrations, program scheduler settings, etc., remain in flash memory forever and do not require battery power.
When the Smart Touch Cabin Control is plugged into a control that is powered up, the battery will not drain. The Smart Touch Cabin Control battery will drain only when the AC power to the control board is powered off. The battery backup will last over two years of powered-off time or inactivity.
When the battery drains due to inactivity, the only information lost is the date and time. In addition, the screen lock PIN will reset to its default (“1234”). All other programming parameters, calibrations, program scheduler settings, etc., remain in flash memory forever and do not require battery power. If the battery drains, there is no visible sign on the display during a normal power up. Immediately upon a next AC power down and power up, the user will be prompted to set the date and time. This is the sign that the battery drained due to inactivity.

11.1 Checking the Return-Air Filter
Check the return-air filter about once a month and clean as necessary.
To clean the filter:

1. Remove the filter from the unit and rinse with water.
2. Air dry the filter and reinstall.

11.2 Energizing the Reversing Valve Units DX Only

1. Energize the reverse-cycle (cooling and heating) units to keep the internal parts moving freely.
2. To energize the reversing valve, switch the air conditioner to heat mode for a few seconds very month.

11.3 Checking the Seawater Strainer – DX Only Ensure the pump receives adequate seawater flow. To maintain proper flow:

1. Regularly clean the strainer basket.
2. Periodically check the overboard discharge for a steady stream of water.
3. See the seawater intake speed scoop for blockage.
4. Ensure the hoses are not looped, kinked, or crushed.

11.4 Cleaning the Condenser Coil – DX Only
To avoid a marine-growth-fouled coil which reduces efficiency by raising the total system pressure and decreasing its ability to produce cold air:

1. Turn off the circuit breaker on the ship’s panel, and disconnect the inlet and outlet connections of the condenser coil.
2. Use chemical-resistant hoses [white PVC 0.63 in (16 mm) I.D., etc.] to connect the inlet of the condenser coil to the outlet of a chemical resistant, submersible pump (P-500 pump, etc.). Let the hose connected to the coil outlet flow freely into the container mentioned below.
3. Place a strainer or piece of screen over the inlet of the pump and submerse the pump into a container filled with fresh water or with a premixed over-the-counter solution. Use as large a container as possible to hold 5 gal … 25 gal 19 L … 95 Lof solution.
4. Power the pump and circulate the solution through the condenser coil for 15 min … 45 min depending on the size of the coils and the extent of the contamination. Visually inspect the solution in the container to decide when the contamination removal has stopped.
5. Circulate fresh water through the coil to flush any residual cleaner from the system.
6. Restart the system. Check the operational parameters to ensure thorough cleaning. Additional cleaning may be necessary with extreme contamination.

11.5 Winterizing the System – DX Only
Any winterization method that causes the antifreeze solution to flow downward is the method of choice. By this means, the antifreeze solution displaces any trapped water and eliminates the possibility of it freezing in hidden areas.
Choose one of the methods below. The first two methods use a 50/50 nonpolluting biodegradable antifreeze/water solution:

1. Pump the antifreeze solution into the overboard thruhull fitting, and discharge through the intake thru-hull fitting.

2. Use the seawater pump to pump the antifreeze solution through the system and discharge through the overboard thru-hull fitting:
   a) Close the seacock.
   b) Remove the hose from the strainer discharge.
   c) Raise the hose above the pump (so the pump does not lose its prime) and pour in the antifreeze solution.
   d) Pump the solution through the system.
   e) Drain the water from the strainer and the hose to the seacock.

3. Inject pressurized air at the overboard discharge fitting to force any system water through the seawater intake fitting, and expel any trapped water from the system.
