Remote Control
The remote control supplied with this cooler allows you to turn the unit on or off, control fan
speed and initiate the pump. The buttons operate in the same manner as those on the front
control panel. The remote control's range is approximately 20 feet within sight of the cooler.
The CR2025 battery is included, accessible from the back. Remove the small plastic guard
to activate the remote. It is now ready for use. A wall mountable holder is also supplied with
the remote.
OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
Optional Purge Pump
In addition to the standard water pump to recirculate water
from the reservoir, an optional purge pump can be installed to
evacuate the contents of the reservoir on a scheduled basis.
The cooler base has space and pre-located screw attach points
for purge pump bracket.
CAUTION: The MCP44-PPK purge pump kit is designed to be
used with the MCP series coolers. If a different purge pump is
installed the warranty cooler will be voided.
The MCP44-PPK is available for purchase at local retailers, at
www. championcooler.com or by calling 1.800.643.8341.
When a purge pump has been installed, purge cycles can be
activated and programmed from the control panel (See below).
NOTE: When in Purge Set Up Mode, you will not affect the fan speed or main water pump operation.
Once a purge pump has been installed and plugged
into the cooler, the purging cycle can be programmed
from the control panel:
The default setting for the purge pump is 1 minute of
purge every 24 hours. This setting can be changed to
increase interval and duration of purges as needed.
In order to enter the programming mode of the control
panel hold down the PUMP touch
point for five (5) seconds.
At this point the Purge Interval
can be set. Four lights on the left
side illuminate. This indicates one
purge every 24 hours.
To change the number of hours
between purges, press PUMP
again until the desired schedule
is selected. The options for purge
interval are 24,12, 8 and 6 hours. The lights decrease
by one each time the Pump button is pressed. Note
the legend of intervals listed below.
4 LIGHTS = EVERY 24 HOURS
3 LIGHTS = EVERY 12 HOURS
2 LIGHTS = EVERY 8 HOURS
1 LIGHT = EVERY 6 HOURS
The use of the purge pump saves water and is actually more
economical, than continual bleed. It helps reduce bacterial
growth and mineral buildup extending media life. It also maintains
fresher air in the home.
Purge Pump Discharge: The water ejected at the time of
purging will be expelled at a high rate of speed, and must be
routed away from the foundation of the home or other areas
where rushing water could do damage.

NOTE: This water is not potable, but can be used for watering
vegetable or flower gardens.
