Installation
Insert the exhaust panel into the window opening, then close the window against the
5-3
exhaust panel. A tight seal will permit maximum cooling efficiency. Note: There must be
at least 10 inches (25.4 cm) of open space behind the exhaust panel to allow adequate
airflow.
Note: The flexible exhaust duct can extend to a maximum length of 118 inches (300 cm).
Provide the straightest, shortest path available. Excessive bending or stretching of the duct
will reduce cooling efficiency.
INCORRECT
Drainage Plug Insertion
6
Warning: The unit's built-in re-evaporator will not function until you insert the
drainage plug into the drainage outlet.
When the unit cools or dehumidifies, condensation forms. The unit has a built-in re-evaporator
that allows it to expel condensation through the warm air exhaust stream. This feature allows
the unit to operate indefinitely without requiring you to empty a water collection tank. The unit
ships with both the upper and lower drainage plugs installed.
Cooling Mode with Re-Evaporation
6-1
Both plugs must remain installed to enable re-evaporation of condensation.
Cooling Mode without Re-Evaporation
6-2
To use Cooling mode without re-evaporating condensation, remove the bottom drain plug
and route user-supplied drain line to external drainage. The top drain plug must remain
installed.
6-3 Dehumidify Mode
When using the unit in Dehumidify mode, remove the top drain plug and route user-
supplied drain line to external drainage. The bottom drain must remain installed. This will
maximize the amount of water removed from the air.
Note: If the drainage system becomes clogged, a small internal reservoir will collect
condensation. If the drainage system is not cleared before the internal reservoir fills, the
unit will shut down automatically.
Warning: Before connecting the unit to a dedicated drainage system, turn it
off and unplug it. There is a risk of electric shock while the unit is plugged in.
Note: If your building's cooling system has night or weekend thermostat setbacks, has
periodic shutdowns, or has limited cooling capacity, you may need to consider alternatives
to the standard installation. This product is meant to be used as a supplemental cooling
device, and cannot make up for significant fluctuations in building temperature or
humidity.
Low Temperature Operation
The air conditioner is a high-performance cooler, capable of producing very cold air output. When using the unit in environments that are
already cold (68° F / 20° C) or less), Tripp Lite recommends using the Dehumidify mode only. This will allow the unit to continue to provide the
supplemental cooling while preventing any evaporator icing issues caused by the low room temperature.
