2. ASSESS ROOF STRENGTH - The roof members MUST be strong enough to support the weight of the unit (up to 50kg) without any roof deflection that will cause “pooling” of water around the unit. Contact your caravan manufacturer to confirm the max load the roof is able to handle. If in any doubt consider the use of an external “H” frame. DIRECTION OF TRAVEL LONGITUDINALS MUST BE FIXED SECURELY TO TRANSVERSE ROOF MEMBERS - If the roof does not have an existing hole one must be cut.
4. POSITION IBIS ON ROOF - Remove the air conditioner from the carton. - Position the unit over the gasket so that the corners of the square hole in the caravan roof line up with the corners of the square hole underneath the IBIS (Fig 6). TIP: Have one person inside the vehicle looking through the hole while the other is on the roof adjusting the position of the unit The unit weights approximately 50kg. Ensure a two person lift or use a mechanical hoist to avoid the risk of injury.
6. ASSESS ROOF THICKNESS Include ‘H’ frame if used Duct length required Hold down bolt length (mm) required (mm) 125 150 (as supplied) As supplied 100 125 (cut 25) As supplied 80 105 (cut 45) As supplied 60 85 (cut 65) Cut 50 40 65 (cut 85) Cut 70 25 (absolute minimum) 50 (cut 100) Cut 85 Roof thickness (mm) - Measure the roof thickness and consult the table across to check if adjustments to the hold down bolt and duct length are required.
8. ATTACH DUCT TO UNIT - Raise the brace assembly and slip the black plastic duct over the outside diameter of the outlet underneath the rooftop unit. Ensure that the notch cut in the plastic ductwork aligns with the fans power cable (Fig 12 & 13). When attaching the duct to the unit take care to ensure it forms a tight, unbroken seal that doesn’t allow cold air to escape. - Engage and tighten the four M8 bolts with the threaded inserts in the rooftop unit.
9. ATTACH PLENUM COVER - Secure the main plenum cover to the duct assembly with the 4 screws provided (Fig 16). TIP: It is important that these screws are not over tightened otherwise the plenum may crack. - Remove the filter elements by pulling them out of the plenum, and use the six self tapping counter sunk screws to secure the covers edges to the caravan ceiling (Fig 17). In some instances a very small pilot hole may need to be drilled to guide the screws into place.
