Operating Instructions

5 Operating Instructions
5.1 Before usage
NOTE Before switching on, make sure that the supply voltage and frequency corresponds to the values of the air conditioner.
NOTE Make sure that the amperage provided by the external power supply is sufficient.
NOTE Always completely unwind the cable drum to prevent the power supply extension cable to the vehicle from overheating and loosing voltage.
NOTE The extension cable must have a minimum cross section of 3 x 2.5 mm².
NOTE You must make sure that the air outlet and intake grilles are not covered by cloths, paper or other objects.
NOTE After removing the remote control back cover, insert two (2) AAA LR3 leak-proof batteries into the remote control. Then replace the cover on the back.
NOTE When using the remote control, point it at the air distributor to have the best signal transmission. The air distributor beeps as soon as it receives a signal.
NOTE The icons that are shown in the remote control display depend on the settings you are accessing.
NOTE After selecting COOL or HEAT mode, the compressor may delay starting for 3 minutes. This feature protects the compressor.
NOTE To set the system clock, see chapter 5.11, “Setting the system clock” on page 14.
5.2 How to heat and cool effectively
The following general measures are very useful to reduce the heat load within a vehicle and improve the performance of the air conditioner:
l Park your vehicle in the shade when possible. l Position your vehicle with the sunshade facing the sun-side.
This reduces exposure to direct sunlight. l Close all doors, skylights and windows, close the curtains
and open the sunshade or awning. l Turn off within the vehicle, all electrical appliances running
unnecessary. This will further reduce the heat-load. l Cook outside the vehicle when possible. l In case of exceptionally high temperatures, turn on the air
conditioner in advance during the morning. l If vehicle interior has already heated up, ventilate your
vehicle by opening doors and windows before starting the A/C unit. l Regularly clean the vehicle’s roof; dirty roofs heat up more.

In the same way that many factors affect the total heat load within a vehicle, many additional factors can affect the air conditioner working efficiency. It may be advisable to consult your vehicle manufacturer to fully understand the total heat load of your vehicle.
5.3 Dealing with condensation
When warm and moist air within the vehicle meets a cold surface, this is likely to result in condensation water. This is also known as “sweating”. To deal with this:
l Close and seal all doors, skylights, and windows. This reduces the entrance of warm moist air.
l Operate the inside fan on High fan speed, avoiding Low and Auto fan speeds.
When operating the air conditioner, condensate water is produced and drained onto the roof. This is normal. The amount of condensate water depends on air humidity. High humidity inside your vehicle will result in more condensate water being generated.
NOTE Losses or damages caused by condensate water are not within the warranty scope.
5.4 Choosing and using a generator or inverter
The CTT 28V requires a mains-quality AC power source for correct operation. If you decide to supply power using a generator or an inverter, you must consult your generator / inverter supplier to confirm suitability and sizing of the generator / inverter for your application.
NOTE Losses or damage caused by the use of a generator or inverter are not within the warranty scope.

Maintenance

6 Maintenance
6.1 Air filter
The return air filter needs periodic maintenance.
1. Check and clean the filter every week, when in use, to prevent the filter from being blocked by dirt.
2. You must wash the filter frequently to ensure effective cooling and heating.
3. Remove the air filter from the air distributor by pushing both tabs (1) inwards (2) and then downwards (3).

Fig. 48 Air filter
5. Clean the filter and air grille with warm water and detergent.
6. Let it dry before installing again. NOTE Replacement filters can be ordered separately. Never operate the air conditioner without a filter. This can cause fouling of the heat exchanger and lead to a loss of power.
6.2 Remote control batteries
l Change the remote control batteries (2 x AAA type) when the display of the remote control becomes unreadable and / or blurry.
l Remove the batteries from the remote control if the remote control is not used for a long time to prevent damage to the remote control from leaking batteries.

See also: chapter 8, “Disposal” on page 19.
6.3 Bolt check
Check the four bolts holding the unit to the roof for tightness 3 months after first installation of the product. Inspect the bolts regularly; minimally every 12 months. Retighten to 7 Nm if necessary.
6.4 Regular usage
Webasto recommends that you operate air conditioner regularly to ensure good performance. Minimally run the unit every 6 months for at least for 20 – 30 minutes.
6.5 Cleaning
Regularly remove leaves or other dirt from the ventilation grilles of the outdoor unit.
l Regularly clean the unit using a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent.
l Clean the vehicle roof at regular intervals. A dirty roof heats up more than a clean roof.
CAUTION Never drive through automatic car washes with a roof air conditioner installed. Do not spray into the openings of the unit with a highpressure cleaner. Do not use hot cleaners and steam cleaners. Do not use sharp or hard objects for cleaning. Never use petrol, diesel, solvents or aggressive cleaning agents.
6.6 Heat exchangers
Minimally have your unit’s heat exchangers cleaned by a specialist workshop once per year.

No cooling effect. Possible root causes are:

Action
l Insufficient refrigerant amount due to piping fracture.
l Compressor fault. l Sensor failure.
Outdoor heat exchanger temperature too high / Temperature anomaly. Temperature anomaly: outdoor heat exchanger temperature too high when cooling or too low when heating. (When cooling, the display of E5 indicates the outdoor temperature exceeds 64 °C. It is likely due to the reduction of air flow of the condenser, poor working of the condenser fan or sensor failure; when heating, if the outdoor temperature is higher than 18 °C, the external air fan may be on and off repeatedly. The occurrence of this is not a fault, but self- protection of the system to avoid overheating of the unit.)
Outdoor ambient temperature sensor fault
Motherboard and drive board communication fault
Compressor discharge temperature sensor fault
Compressor discharge over-temperature protection
Module protection
Module hardware protection
Module software protection
Compressor over-current protection
Overvoltage and undervoltage protection
Module heat sink temperature shutdown protection
Compressor stall protection
Not a fault: When operating on heating mode in low ambient temperatures the unit will periodically defrost the outside heat exchanger. The air distributor display shows “dF” during defrost operation and then returns to heating once the defrost is completed.

NOTE Before contacting Webasto for technical support please collect the following information. u Are any error codes displayed? u Is the display of the air distributor in normal opera-
tion or not? u Does it display a temperature from 16 to 30 °C? u Can you adjust the set point temperature when in
cool or heat mode? u Is there a “0” shown in the display? u Is the display showing a jumbled display? u When in fan mode is there any air flow from the air
distributor outlets? u Can you hear the compressor starting or stopping in
heating or cooling mode?
