  • Page 5: Placement Of System (Tools Required)

    8/8/2014 VECTOR COMPACT VERY IMPORTANT: Never install your air conditioner in the bilge or engine room areas. Insure that the selected location is sealed from direct access to bilge and/or engine room vapors. Do not terminate condensate drain line within four (4) feet of any outlet of engine or generator exhaust systems, nor in a compartment housing an engine or generator, nor in a bilge, unless the drain is connected properly to a sealed condensate or shower sump pump.

  • Page 6: Spacing Allowances And Dimensions

    8/8/2014 VECTOR COMPACT Selecting a good location for your air conditioner is the most important part of your preparations. 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.

  • Page 8: Condensate Drains

    8/8/2014 VECTOR COMPACT CONDENSATE DRAINS The condensate drain pan is 2² high with two drain locations. During conditions of high humidity, condensate may be produced at a rate of up to two gallons per hour. With this in mind, it is important to route condensate drains downward to a sump pump. Do not route condensate drains to the bilge.
