INSTALLATION TOOLS AND SUPPLIES YOU WILL NEED • • • • • • • • • • • • • Duct. As Required (a local sheetmetal shop can supply ducting.) • Equipment Suitable for installing Duct Through House Wall or Roof • 1/4" Water Line • Saddle Valve • ECR-7 Wall Switch (7 position).
INSTALLATION LOCATING YOUR COOLER The cooler installation must comply with local codes. If you are not fully qualified to install a cooler, get professional help. Figure 1 shows some locations for your cooler. Be sure the intake louvers are clear of obstructions and are accessible for removal. Do not locate the cooler near vent pipes, chimneys, or exhausts where odors or fumes may be drawn into the house. The two drain holes on the cooler bottom must be clear to allow overflow or drain access.
INSTALLATION CONVERTING COOLER TO SIDE AIR OUTLET (Fig. 4) 1. Remove both louvers and set them where they will not fall. See pg. 11. 2. Remove four louver clips on side opposite motor. 3. Remove a reservoir by pushing the water crossover tube from the grommet and lifting out the reservoir. 4. Remove the second reservoir as above. 5. Remove the screw that holds the wiring box. FIGURE 3 6. Remove 1/8 inch diameter and 7/8 inch diameter knockouts. 7. Remove two plastic plugs. 8.
INSTALLATION LIFTING COOLER CAUTION: DO NOT LIFT ON THE LOUVERS. REMOVE THE LOUVERS BEFORE LIFTING. DO NOT LIFT ON THE CENTER OF THE CABINET FLANGES. Lift at cabinet corners. The cooler may be lifted by putting a bar or strap through the panel hole and lifting by means of the bar or strap. FIGURE 6 MOUNTING COOLER NOTE: THE BOTTOM EDGE NEAREST THE OUTLET MUST FACE UP THE ROOF. 1. Prepare duct to fit model used. See outlet size specifications on page 3. 2. Cut opening in roof or wall and box in opening.
INSTALLATION ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT USE THIS FAN WITH ANY SOLID STATE SPEED CONTROL DEVICE. The wiring must comply with local codes. If you are not familiar with the codes or wiring practices, get professional help. Use only an Essick ECR-5 or ECR-7 wall mounted switch. This new cooler does not require prewetting the pads before starting cooling and does not have a pump. Existing switches with “pump only” position are not usable.
INSTALLATION FINAL ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENT PUT FLOAT VALVE IN COOLER Put the float valve through the spout hole and cabinet hole. Tighten the ring nut. Be sure the float moves straight up and down. TURN THE FLOAT UNTIL A NARROW SIDE IS UP. Snap the Splash Guard Cover into the Water Spout as shown. The Water Spout and Splash Guard Cover are provided to prevent water from “spurting” and splashing outside the Water Reservoir.
INSTALLATION MOTOR PULLEY ADJUSTMENT NOTE: ALL DUCT CONNECTED COOLERS MUST BE ADJUSTED. Long or small air ducts have excessive air resistance which decreases air output and motor amperage. You may compensate for this by adjusting the motor pulley. Use a clamp type ampmeter to check the motor amperage. 1. Check amperage at the white lead in the wiring box. 2.
HOW TO USE YOUR COOLER HOW YOUR COOLER WORKS Your cooler evaporates water to cool air. Evaporative air cooling is the same natural cooling that happens when a breeze springs up after a summer shower. You feel cool because the rain water evaporates and carries away heat. Your new cooler has a motor (1) driven blower (2) which draws outside air through pads (3) which are turned by drive motors (4). The pads turn through water in trays (5) filled by the water float valve (6) and water crossover pipe (7).
CARE OF YOUR COOLER CAUTION: ALWAYS SHUT OFF THE ELECTRIC POWER TO THE COOLER AT THE FUSEBOX BEFORE WORKING ON THE COOLER. WHEN YOUR HANDS ARE INSIDE THE COOLER YOU RISK INJURY IF THE COOLER IS ACCIDENTALLY TURNED ON INSIDE THE HOUSE. NEVER WEAR SHOES WITH SLICK SOLES WHEN YOU WORK ON A ROOF. YOU MAY SLIP WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT. NEVER DRAIN WATER ONTO A ROOF. WATER RESIDUE MAY CAUSE YOU TO SLIP OR MAY STAIN YOUR ROOF. USE A DRAIN HOSE TO RUN WATER TO A RAIN GUTTER OR TO THE GROUND.
CARE OF YOUR COOLER TAKING OFF PAD (Fig. 18) 1. Lift up the small roller ends to unsnap the two center rollers. Pull out the two small rollers. 2. Pull out and turn the top roller bearing arm to line up the slot. 3. Pull out the top roll end. 4. Take out the pad and bottom roller which will slide out of the bottom slots. CLEANING YOUR COOLER (Fig. 19) FIGURE 18 WARNING: NEVER WASH YOUR COOLER INTERIOR WITH A GARDEN HOSE. WATER MAY HARM THE MOTORS OR GET INTO YOUR HOUSE. Clean your cooler as follows: 1.
