Installation

Unpack and inspect contents. Ensure RV roof is prepared for mounting.

  1. Position unit: Place on RV roof according to template provided.
  2. Secure mounting: Use bolts and sealant to prevent leaks.
  3. Connect wiring: Follow color-coded wires to RV electrical system.
  4. Install control panel: Mount inside RV and connect to unit.
  5. Test operation: Power on and check for proper cooling.

WARNING! Installation should be performed by a qualified technician. Ensure power is disconnected during installation.

First-Time Setup

Power on unit; configure initial settings.

  1. Set temperature: Use control panel or remote to desired cooling level.
  2. Select fan speed: Choose Low, Medium, High, or Auto based on preference.
  3. Enable energy-saving mode: Press ECO button to reduce power usage.
  4. Test remote control: Point at IR sensor on control panel.
  5. Check airflow: Ensure vents are unobstructed.

CAUTION! Do not operate without proper ventilation. Keep air intake and exhaust clear.

Specifications

Controls and Settings

Supports cooling, fan-only, and dehumidify functions.

  1. Cooling Mode: Set temperature; unit cools to set point.
  2. Fan-Only Mode: Circulates air without cooling.
  3. Dehumidify Mode: Reduces humidity while cooling slightly.
  4. Auto Mode: Automatically switches between cooling and fan based on temperature.
  5. Timer: Program to turn on/off at specific times.
  6. Sleep Mode: Increases temperature gradually over 6 hours for comfort.

WARNING! Do not operate in temperatures below 60°F. Avoid blocking vents.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance.

  1. Clean air filter monthly: Remove, wash with mild soap, dry completely.
  2. Inspect coils annually: Remove debris from condenser and evaporator coils.
  3. Check drainage: Ensure condensate drain is clear.
  4. Inspect wiring: Look for frayed or damaged wires.
  5. Lubricate fan motor if required (refer to service manual).

CAUTION! Disconnect power before performing maintenance. Do not use harsh chemicals.

Safety Features

Automatic Overload Protection: Shuts off unit if electrical surge detected. Low-Voltage Shutdown: Turns off when voltage drops below 102V to prevent damage. High-Pressure Cut-Out: Stops compressor if pressure exceeds safe limits. Temperature Sensors: Monitor coil temperatures to avoid freezing or overheating.
