CONTACTING COMPU-AIRE FOR TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE Compu-Aire, Inc. uses the latest in electronic and software technologies to develop some of the most reliable and cost efficient air conditioning systems in the world. Since many of our customer installations are sensitive to down time, we stock nearly all components for your system ready for same day shipment.
HVAC equipment. Improper installation could result in unaccountable loss or damage. COMPU-AIRE System 2100 series equipment requires a permanent power connection from an isolated circuit breaker. Customer must provide earth ground to the unit per NEC, CEC and local codes as applicable.

Suitable leak detection system shall be installed for the unit and water supply lines to minimize the damage. Risk of leaking unit coil/or piping due to freezing and/or corrosion can cause equipment and building damage. Compu-Aire Rev. 01 Page 6 of 42 05/27/2016...
The Compu-Aire System 2100 air cooled Kompact series is a complete environmental control system, factory wired, tested, and specifically designed to provide temperature, humidity, and dust control for computer room installation. System 2100 is designed to provide precise temperature control by utilizing advanced digital and analog control via a programmable logic controller.
The location of the unit shall be selected based on air distribution in the room and service access requirement. System 2100 air cooled series units are available with two air flow configurations. The down flow units are used for raised floor applications. The up flow units with plenum or duct connection are available for rooms without raised floor.

1) After the dehydration procedures have been followed, replace the fuses in the condenser fan compressors and transformer circuits. 2) Connect hose from drum to suction port of the compressor, purge hose so that no non- condensables are in the hose. Compu-Aire Rev. 01 Page 22 of 42 05/27/2016...
This includes water tubing, humidifier make-up water, and condensate lines (if provided). 8.11 How to Save the Refrigerant Charge The process of opening a refrigerant circuit of the Compu-Aire System 2100 and saving the refrigerant charge of the system to be opened requires only a few more minutes than does blowing the refrigerant charge.
SOURCE OF POWER SHOULD BE INTRODUCED AT THIS POINT. The conductors should be sized depending on the length of run and the number of control transformers used in the unit. Maximum voltage drop must not exceed 1 volt. Each control transformer draws Compu-Aire Rev. 01 Page 24 of 42...
"OFF". The blower will have started and it is therefore possible to determine rotation. On Compu-Aire units, the blower should be rotating in a CLOCKWISE direction in the down flow units and COUNTER CLOCKWISE in the up flow units, looking in the right side of the unit.
