The Air Smells A Little Different, Why; Start Up; Shut Down; On Humid Days - Rinnai Brivis Contour Series Operation Manual

EVAPORATIVE COOLER OPERATION
To cool your whole house, you need windows and / or doors open throughout the house. If you wish to concentrate
your cooling to a select area, simply concentrate all the required ventilation in the targeted area (see below).

Open Windows
On hot, windy days, ensure that the windows and /or doors open for ventilation are on the
sheltered side of the house.
NOTE

THE AIR SMELLS A LITTLE DIFFERENT, WHY?

New Cooling pads can give off a mild odour while they are settling in. This is quite normal, it will dissipate quickly
as the new pad is constantly flushed during use.

START UP

When the cooling is first turned ON, there will normally be a delay before the cool air is delivered from the duct
outlets. The delay will vary depending on the model of cooler, but this doesn't mean the cooler is not operating.
Most models have pre-programmed function times, to allow time to fill the Cooler's tank with water and/or Pre-wet
the filter pads. Brivis Contour Series models have an additional delay to allow time to open the ServoSeal damper.
The entire process can take up to 8 minutes before cool air is expected from the duct outlets.

SHUT DOWN

On Brivis Advance, Brivis Promina, Brivis Contour and Brivis AD (when fitted with optional valve) units, there is
also a delay in emptying the water from the Cooler's tank for a period after the unit has turned OFF at the end of
use. Brivis Advance, Brivis Promina and Brivis Contour models have an additional pre-programmed tank wash
cycle (flush). This washes the tank with clean water at the end of use. At the same time Brivis Contour models will
also close the motorised ServoSeal damper, which seals the ducting, reducing drafts. The ServoSeal and flush will
occur approx 1 hour after the unit has been turned off.

ON HUMID DAYS

On days of high humidity your evaporative cooler works best with the fan on high and perhaps the pump switch
turned off. If moisture is building up on tiled or hard surface areas, ensure that airflow from the outlets is directed
across the ceiling rather than down towards the floor. Also ensure that you have enough windows and/or doors
open�

CEILING VENT(S) LOCATION

Vents should be set up so the air is directed across the ceiling. However, they should not be restrictive and the
vents should also be directed to disperse air evenly around the room depending on the location of the vent�
