GENERAL INFORMATION

A.
Product features or specifi cations as described or il-
lustrated are subject to change without notice.
B.
This Air Conditioner (hereinafter referred to as the "unit"
Is Designed For:
1. Installation on a Caravan during or after the time
the Caravan is manufactured.
2. Mounting on the roof of a Caravan.
3. Roof construction with rafters/joists support frames
on minimum of 406 mm centers.
4. Minimum of 25 mm and maximum of 140 mm
distance between roof to ceiling of Caravan.
C. Basic Requirements
1. Installation opening. Cut through the roof and ceil-
ing.
2. 220-240 VAC, 50 Hz. 10 Amp.
3. Power when the unit starts must be above 198 VAC
and the frequency must be 50 Hz. at all times.
D.
The ability of the air conditioner to maintain the de-
sired inside temperature depends on the heat gain of
the Caravan.
Some preventative measures taken by the occupants
of the Caravan can reduce the heat gain and improve
the ability of the air conditioner to cool the Caravan.
During extremely high outdoor temperatures, the heat
gain of the Caravan may be reduced by:
1. Parking the Caravan in a shaded area
2. Using window shades (blinds and/or curtains)
3. Keeping windows and doors shut or minimizing
usage
4. Avoiding the use of heat producing appliances
Operation on High Fan/Cooling mode will give optimum
or maximum effi ciency in high humidity or high outside
temperatures.
Starting the air conditioner early in the morning and giving
it a "head start" on the expected high outdoor ambient will
greatly improve its ability to maintain the desired indoor
temperature.
For a more permanent solution to high heat gain, acces-
sories like an outdoor patio and window awning will reduce
heat gain by removing the direct sun. They also add a nice
area to enjoy company during the cool of the evening.
E. Condensation
Note: The manufacturer of this unit will not be responsible
for damage caused by condensed moisture on ceilings or
other surfaces. Air contains moisture and this moisture
tends to condense on cold surfaces. When air enters the
Caravan, condensed moisture may appear on the ceiling,
windows, metal parts, etc. The air conditioner removes
this moisture from the air during normal operation. Keep-
ing doors and windows closed when this air conditioner
is in operation will minimize condensed moisture on cold
surfaces.
