Operation / Installation Manual – FCF 5000, 9000, 12000, 16000, 24000 Installation Unpacking and Inspection When the equipment is received, all items should be carefully checked according to the packaged components list within this manual to ensure all components have been received. Examine components for shipping damage. If the unit is damaged, the carrier should make the proper notation on the delivery receipt acknowledging the damage.
Operation / Installation Manual – FCF 5000, 9000, 12000, 16000, 24000 Placement of System Selecting a good location for your air conditioner is the most important part of your preparation. Be sure to consider the size of the area you are cooling, the air distribution needs, and the size of the unit you have chosen. Keeping in mind that cool air has a tendency to fall; it is highly recommended that you locate the supply air grille as high as possible in the cabin.
Operation / Installation Manual – FCF 5000, 9000, 12000, 16000, 24000 The unit should be installed as low as possible, BUT NEVER IN THE BILGE Tools required: OR ENGINE ROOM AREAS, ENSURE THAT THE SELECTED LOCATION • Screws drivers IS SEALED FROM DIRECT ACCESS TO BILGE AND/OR ENGINE ROOM • Pliers VAPORS. Installing the unit as low as possible (such as under a V-berth, • Pipe wrench dinette supply • Wire cutters/crimpers air as high as possible, creates an ideal airflow condition.
Operation / Installation Manual – FCF 5000, 9000, 12000, 16000, 24000 Condensate Drains The condensate drain pan is 2” (50mm) deep with four drain locations. During conditions of high humidity, condensate may be produced at a rate of approximately 1/2 gallon per hour (1.9 liters per hour). It is important to route condensate drains downward to a sump pump. It is not recommended to route condensate drains to the bilge.
Operation / Installation Manual – FCF 5000, 9000, 12000, 16000, 24000 Ducting Good airflow is critical for the performance of the entire system. It is highly dependent on the quality of the ducting installation. The ducting should be run as straight, smooth and taut as possible minimizing the number of 90 degree bends (two tight 90° bends can reduce airflow by 25%).
Operation / Installation Manual – FCF 5000, 9000, 12000, 16000, 24000 Summary of the seawater system installation: 1. Install the speed scoop thru-hull inlet as close to the keel and as far below the water line as possible, facing forward. Bed the scoop with a marine sealant designed for underwater use. 2. Install a bronze, full flow seacock on the speed scoop thru-hull inlet. 3. Install a seawater strainer below the level of the pump with access to filter. 4.
Operation / Installation Manual – FCF 5000, 9000, 12000, 16000, 24000 Electrical Connections, Grounding and Bonding Turn off air conditioner power supply circuit breaker before opening electric box. All air conditioner units have a terminal strip mounted inside the electric box. The terminal strip is labeled for proper connections of the electrical supply, ground wires and pump circuits. A wiring diagram is provided in the electrical box and later in this manual.
Operation / Installation Manual – FCF 5000, 9000, 12000, 16000, 24000 Digital Display Installation DO NOT turn the unit off and immediately turn it back on. Wait at least 30 seconds for refrigerant pressures to stabilize. Before mounting the digital display, consider the location. The digital display should never be mounted in direct sunlight or exposed to excessive moisture. NOTE: The display cable must be grounded at the electrical box.

Operation / Installation Manual – FCF 5000, 9000, 12000, 16000, 24000 Maintenance Reversing Valves Reverse cycle units have a reversing valve; the valve must be energized periodically to keep the internal parts moving freely. To do this, switch the air conditioning unit into heat mode 2-3 cycles per month. Seawater Strainer Ensure that your pump receives adequate seawater flow by regularly cleaning the strainer basket. Periodically check the overboard discharge for a steady stream of water.
Operation / Installation Manual – FCF 5000, 9000, 12000, 16000, 24000 Winterization There are several methods of winterization, some of which work better than others. There are various methods employed using a 50/50 non-polluting biodegradable anti-freeze/water solution. Any method that causes the anti-freeze solution to flow downward is the method of choice. By this, the anti-freeze solution will displace any water trapped and eliminate the possibility of freezing in hidden areas.
