Operation / Installation Manual – FCF 5,000, 9,000, 12,000, 16,000 INTRODUCTION Thank you for your purchase. No matter which of the following features was the reason for your purchase, we are sure it will meet your needs and provide many years of efficient and trouble free use.
Operation / Installation Manual – FCF 5,000, 9,000, 12,000, 16,000 OVERVIEW HOW IT WORKS Your self-contained air conditioner consists of four main components and a refrigerant gas circulating through the system. The BLOWER draws warm cabin air across the fins on the EVAPORATOR where the heat from the air is transferred to the refrigerant in the evaporator coil. As the refrigerant evaporates from a liquid into a gas, it absorbs the heat from the cabin air.
Operation / Installation Manual – FCF 5,000, 9,000, 12,000, 16,000 INSTALLATION UNPACKING AND INSPECTION When the equipment is received, all items should be carefully checked against the packing list to ensure all cartons have been received. Move units in the normal "up" orientation as indicated by the arrows on each carton. Examine cartons for shipping damage, removing the units from the cartons if necessary.
Operation / Installation Manual – FCF 5,000, 9,000, 12,000, 16,000 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. See diagram below.
Operation / Installation Manual – FCF 5,000, 9,000, 12,000, 16,000 CONDENSATE DRAINS The condensate drain pan is 2” (50mm) high with two drain locations. During conditions of high humidity, condensate may be produced at a rate of approximately a 1/2 gallon per hour (1.9 liters per hour). With this in mind, 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 5,000, 9,000, 12,000, 16,000 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° bends (two tight 90° bends can reduce airflow by 25%). If a transition box is used, the total area of supply air ducts going out of the box should at least equal the area of the supply duct feeding the box.
Operation / Installation Manual – FCF 5,000, 9,000, 12,000, 16,000 tape on all threaded connections. 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 5,000, 9,000, 12,000, 16,000 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS, GROUNDING AND BONDING All a/c 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. The wiring diagram in the electrical box supersedes any found in this manual and ABYC standards.
Operation / Installation Manual – FCF 5,000, 9,000, 12,000, 16,000 WIRED REMOTE CONTROLLER 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 wired display, consider the location. The display panel should be mounted on an inside wall, slightly higher than mid-height of the cabin. The cut out size for the display panel is 2 1/2” (64mm) wide by 3 5/16” (84mm).

Operation / Installation Manual – FCF 5,000, 9,000, 12,000, 16,000 When performing this setup or value change, ensure the wireless remote is not in site of any display as this could potentially change values prior to confirming set value. (Make sure to confirm new values by simultaneously holding the ▲ button and the fan speed button.) After the new values have been set, power the controllers off, and then back on. All settings will be set and ready for use after reboot.

Operation / Installation Manual – FCF 5,000, 9,000, 12,000, 16,000 TROUBLESHOOTING FAULT POSSIBLE REASON CORRECTION Will not start A/C circuit breaker is off Turn circuit breaker on at ship's panel, See control operation section in this manual. Display control is not turned on. Check wiring Diagram and correct if necessary. Incorrect wiring at terminal strip.
Operation / Installation Manual – FCF 5,000, 9,000, 12,000, 16,000 Continued: FAULT POSSIBLE REASON CORRECTION Low air flow Air flow is blocked Remove any obstructions in return air stream, Clean return air filter and grille. Check for crushed or restricted ducting, ducting must be as straight, smooth and taut as possible. Coil is iced Coil is iced See below. Thermostat set point is too low Raise set point. Improper air flow Remove any obstructions in return air stream.
Operation / Installation Manual – FCF 5,000, 9,000, 12,000, 16,000 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 a/c unit into heat for a few seconds once a 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 5,000, 9,000, 12,000, 16,000 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.
