Hello and congratulations on purchasing a Seeley evaporative cooler
At Seeley International we manufacture Braemar® evaporative coolers from the highest quality materials, and we have designed the product to provide many years of economical, trouble-free cooling.

OPERATING YOUR COOLER

To provide efficient cooling or ventilation the building must have sufficient exhaust openings to the outside of the building. To assist air flow, open windows and doors that are farthest from the outlet vent in each room. In these rooms,
provide an exhaust opening about 2 times the vent size of the room.
Where the design of the building prevents adequate exhaust, consideration should be given to the provision of mechanical extractions, such as an exhaust fan.
There are three main ways that an evaporative cooler can operate to provide cooling comfort.

• The cooler can be set at a constant fan speed, without reference to the current temperature.
• The cooler can be given a temperature target, in which case it will vary the fan speed in order to get as close to the target as possible. (Note! Humid weather conditions may limit what temperatures can be achieved.)
• The cooler can be set to a fan only mode, providing air circulation only.

MAGIQTOUCH CONTROLLER OPERATION

Refer to the Owner’s Manual supplied with the controller for operating instructions.

MAGIQTOUCH CONTROLLER® SETTINGS MENU

Your MagIQtouch Controller contains a settings menu, which gives you access to information about your evaporative cooler and to extra functions including:
About Appliance
Access information about the appliances installed in your system.
Min/Max Set Temperature
You can change the minimum and maximum temperature displayed on your slider, depending on what temperature range you prefer your system to work within.
Night Quiet Mode
Restrict fan speed over the night time period for a quiet night’s sleep.
Manual Drain (if fitted with drain kit)
This will turn the cooler off and drain the tank.
Pad Flush
This will turn the cooler off and run the pumps for a specified time. Use this feature to flush the cooler pads.
Drain and Dry (if fitted with drain kit)
This option allows you to nominate a time each day when the cooler will drain the tank and run the fan for 1 hour.
Autoclean (if fitted with drain kit)
Select the preferred cleaning interval (50 / 100 / 200 hrs). At 8.00am after the selected running hours has been reached, the cooler will drain the tank, fill with fresh water and operate the pump for 5 minutes. When complete, drains the tank and returns to previous operation mode.

MAGIQCOOL CONTROLLER SETTINGS

MagIQcool Wall Controllers can operate in manual or automatic mode.
Manual mode
Manual mode will allow you to change settings for operating the cooler, such as altering fan speeds, pump control and manual drain control.
Auto mode
Auto mode will allow thermostatic control to set temperature targets / operating settings. It has the capability of programming ON/OFF delay times, enabling the cooler to automatically start up or shut down after a specified period of hours.
At all times the MagIQcool Controller will monitor the cooler for faults and report them to the controller’s screen for your reference.

MAGIQCOOL CONTROLLER OPERATION

Turning the Cooler On

The wall control can be switched on and off by pressing the button. The wall control will remember the previous setting it was in when the cooler was last used.
Preparing to Start
Whenever you select AUTO mode or COOL in MANUAL mode, the cooler will take a few minutes to start as it fills with water and saturates the cooling pads. The time will be decreased if the tank is full or the cooler has only recently been turned OFF.
During this time “Preparing to Start” will flash on the display.
Manual Mode
With the wall control switched ON, press the button until MAN is shown on the display. You may then press the button to switch between COOL and VENT (where fresh air is being delivered but not cooled).

Once COOL or VENT has been selected, the wall control will maintain a constant fan speed.
This is indicated by the bar graph shown on the display.
To increase or decrease the fan speed required, press either the button.
Auto Mode
To select the AUTO mode press the button until AUTO is shown on the display. In AUTO mode the cooler will remember the last setting used. Press the button if you require more cool air or the button if you require less. Don’t alter the setting however, until the room temperature has stabilised.

Delayed Start or Stop
The cooler can be programmed to start at a specific time or stop at a specific time.
The delayed start time can only be programmed when the cooler is OFF. To program the cooler to start in a certain amount of hours use the following sequence:

Programming In Manual Mode

1. …… Press the button.

2. …… Press the button until MAN is displayed on the screen.

3. …… Press the button until the desired fan speed is displayed by the bars in the middle of the screen.

4. …… Press the button to set either COOL or VENT.

5. …… Press the button and the ‘starts in’ time will start flashing.
   Use the and buttons to select the desired time.

6. …… Press again.

Programming In Auto Mode

1. …… Press the button.

2. …… Press the button until AUTO is displayed.

3. …… Press the button and the “Starts in” time will start flashing.
   Use the button to select the hour.

4. …… Press again.

The delayed stop time can only be programmed once the cooler is ON. This is ideal if you are going to bed but don’t want to turn the cooler off straight away. To program the delayed time in which you want the cooler to stop use the following sequence:

1. ……Select the button and the “Stops in” time will start flashing.
   Use the and buttons to select the desired off time.

2. …..Press again.

Service Mode
When a fault has been recognised by the wall control the word “Service” flashes on the screen. When “Service” is displayed it may be necessary for you to phone the service number located near the back of this manual. However, before doing so, turn the wall control OFF. You will notice a number flashing at the bottom of the screen. This number indicates the reason for requiring service.

Please write this number down, then push the button to turn the cooler back on.
If after a short time “Service” is again shown on the display, turn the wall control OFF and check if the flashing number is the same. If it is the same check for the following possible problems.
However, we do recommend that any checks be carried out by an authorised dealer or service agent.

If ‘02’ is displayed

1. ……Check that the water supply tap to the cooler is turned on.
2. ……Check that your local water authority haven’t temporarily disconnected the water in your area.

If ‘04’ is displayed

1. ……If your cooler is fitted with a drain valve, check that the drain is not blocked.
   If these do not fix the problem then contact your dealer or the service number near the back of this manual. You will need to quote the flashing number that you wrote down.

Drain Mode (Cooler switched OFF)

Pressing the and buttons at the same time for 2 seconds will open the drain valve and empty the water in the tank. The wall control will display “dr” on the screen. Draining the water will leave the tank clean and dry until it is next used.

WATER MANAGEMENT

Your evaporative cooler will be fitted with either a WaterMiser® system, or a continuous bleed system. Check with your dealer to determine which system has been installed.

WATERMISER®

The WaterMiser® feature (if fitted) will automatically monitor the quality of the water in the cooler.
The WaterMiser® drains the existing water in the cooler to allow it to be replaced with fresh water, only when it is needed. Therefore, you may notice your cooler draining water occasionally. How often the WaterMiser® performs this operation depends upon the quality of the water supply and the rate of evaporation. In areas of poor water quality, the WaterMiser® will operate more often as it tries to maintain the optimum water quality in the cooler. This maximises the cooling effect and life of the cooling pads.
The WaterMiser® allows you to specify either high or low salinity settings. The low salinity setting is used in specific circumstances only.
We recommend talking with your dealer before adjusting this setting.
The high salinity setting is designed to operate the cooler at a maximum safe salinity level to maintain a normal working life. It also results in a minimum usage of water.
Note! High salinity outlet water can be used on saline tolerant gardens, but should not be used n salt sensitive grasses or plants.
The factory default WaterMiser® setting is HI. For areas operating with bore water, WaterMiser® should be switched to off.
This will disable the salinity measuring circuit and simply drain water from the tank every 65 minutes of operation.

DRAIN VALVE

If your cooler has been installed with a drain valve, it is accompanied by the WaterMiser®  salinity probes. When the tank’s water salinity level reaches a preset level the WaterMiser® will open the drain valve and release saline water.
Fresh water will then be added diluting any minerals or salts accumulated. The WaterMiser® will continue to monitor and drain water as required.
Alternatively, the cooler can be set to drain saline water at a preset period of pump operating time. This can be set by changing the salinity control method selector via the cooler settings screens.
Note! When the cooler’s tank is empty and the cooler is turned on again, the fan operation will be delayed as the tank is refilled and the pads are saturated.

BLEED SYSTEM

If fitted, the bleed system will constantly drain small amounts of water during the operation of the cooler. This allows fresh water to be added diluting any minerals and salts accumulated.
The bleed rate for your cooler will depend on local operating conditions and will be set by the installer.

POWER OUTAGES

After a power outage the MagIQtouch Controller will prompt you to enter the date and time.
If the AUTO RESTART option is switched on in the SETTINGS menu, the following actions will result:

• If the cooler was last running in MANUAL mode, it will automatically restart only after the date and time have been confirmed.
• If the cooler was last running in PROGRAM mode, it will automatically restart, even before the time and date have been set, according to the last time recorded before the power outage.

HEALTH REGULATIONS

In some regions, regulations require that evaporative air coolers be serviced at specific intervals.
WARNING! As your cooler is mounted on the roof, we suggest that any maintenance or checks be carried out by an authorised Seeley International dealer or service agent.
Climbing onto the roof can be hazardous and could result in injury to you and damage to your property.
For gaining access to the cooler refer to the Removing Pad Frames section.
Maintenance Schedule servicing is essential to ensure the cooler operates efficiently for many years. It must be carried out by a qualified, licensed technician. The following pages outline the suitable maintenance requirements to ensure that your cooler continues to operate efficiently.
We require that the following components and the operation thereof, be checked/ serviced after the first year, then every 2 years for residential purposes, or every year for commercial purposes, as Maintenance Schedule servicing. Refer to the Maintenance Schedule section.

• Water distribution spreader trays.
• Pump.
• Drain valve.
• Solenoid and associated filter / fittings.
• Fan motor operation.
• Float valve.
• Salinity probes etc

Maintenance Schedule servicing should be performed before the summer season. It is important to note that all evaporative coolers have components that may need periodic replacement (eg. filter pads, hoses, o-rings etc).
Note! Failure to carry out the Maintenance Schedule services will void your warranty cover.
Note! Maintenance Schedule servicing may be required more frequently in adverse environmental situations or where the appliance is installed in non- domestic applications. Please consult with the installer or service personnel to determine if more frequent servicing is required.

ACCESS FOR SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE

The cooler should be installed in a position that allows adequate access for installation, and future maintenance and servicing activities.
This should comply with installation guidelines and any local, State and National regulations.
Consider the following for installation location:

• Which has clear access to and around the cooler
• Which is clear of fixtures in line with below clearances
• Which is clear of fall edges (> 3m away)
• Which is structurally capable of supporting the weight of the cooler and service technicians

Required clearances around the cooler for future maintenance and servicing are shown below.

Extra service or warranty charges may apply for the cost of any equipment or additional labour involved in accessing the cooler if these guidelines are not met.

SEASONAL MAINTENANCE

Seasonal Maintenance services should be performed before and after the summer season.
Pre-Season

1. Remove the pad frames as shown on the next page.

2. Ensure the power is off at the isolating switch inside the cooler.

3. Gently wash the pad frames to remove any dust build up during the winter.
   Note! Do not wash the pads with high pressure water spray. If the pads are salted-up, replace them.

4. Check for water leaks. Check operation of the float valve.
