Enclosure Construction:
  • All walls and floor should have a minimum of R-11 insulation with a vapor barrier.  The ceiling should have a minimum of R-19 with a vapor barrier. The vapor barrier should be installed on the warm side of the insulation. 
  • All joints, door frames, electrical outlets or switches and any pipes or vents which go through the enclosure should be sealed to prevent air leakage into the room.
  • Doors into the enclosure should be of minimum size, insulated to R-11 and tightly sealed with a high quality weather stripping.  Be sure to seal the bottom of the door, as well.
  • Enclosure lighting should be of low wattage, with a timer to insure lights are not left on when when the enclosure in unoccupied. recessed lighting should not be used as they have a tendency to allow outside air to enter the enclosure.
  • The ambient temperature should not exceed the desired temperature by more than 25  degrees Fahrenheit
  • No enclosure wall should receive direct sunlight. 
Installation Instructions:
Before installing the unit in the enclosure, place it on a table and plug it into a properly grounded electrical outlet.  The thermostat has no off position, therefore it will begin to run as soon as it is plugged in. Let it to run for approximately five minutes. There should be a flow of cool air from the bottom opening and warm air should be flowing from the back opening on the exhaust side. If there is no flow or no change in temperature on either side, contact us.

If your installation cannot be performed in accordance with these instructions contact us.  The units are not designed to have duct systems on either the exhaust or cold side. Do not drill any holes in the cooling unit.  It may damage the unit, and will void the warranty.

  • Select a place to mount the unit where the warm air flow from the exhaust side of the unit is unobstructed for a minimum of 3 feet.  The area into which the unit exhausts must be well ventilated.  if it is not, the heat and moisture will build up and the unit will not operate satisfactorily. Additionally, cold air flowing from the bottom opening must remain unobstructed.  The unit must be mounted near the ceiling and as close to equal distances from each end of the wall as possible.
  • Make a hole through the wall as illustrated in Fig. 2.  The dimensions of the hole should be approximately 1/4 inch larger than the width and height given in the specifications.  Construct a shelf as shown in Fig. 3.  This shelf must be capable of supporting the weight indicated in the specifications. Cut a 4 inch wide by 7 inch long hole in the shelf for the cold air outlet.  We have had clients utilize brackets, on both sides of the unit, and avoid the shelf with a hole technique.
  • Place the unit on the shelf with the exhaust side flush to the outside of the wall.  Attach the exhaust grille to the unit and to the wall with screws. ( Screws Provided with unit ) 
  • Seal the opening around the unit with high quality weather stripping or silicone and cover with an appropriate molding (optional ).  Hint: Attach the molding to the wall not the unit.
  • Plug the unit into a properly grounded 115 volt outlet of adequate capacity.

Operations:
On initial start up the cooling unit will; reduce the temperature of the enclosure slowly.  The unit may run constantly or cycle on and off for short periods.  The time required to reach the desired temperature will vary, depending on the enclosure construction and contents. The thermostat is preset, by the factory at 55 Fahrenheit.  Unless the temperature falls below that which is desired, do not change the thermostat setting for at least 3 days.  After initial cool down, the " on-off" cycle should be relatively constant.  The percentage of  "off" time will depend on the enclosure construction, contents and surrounding temperature.

If it is necessary to adjust the temperature of the enclosure; adjust the thermostat to a colder temperature while the unit is running and to a warmer temperature while the unit is off.

If the unit is stopped, either by unplugging or by turning the thermostat, do not restart for at least 10 minutes.
