HOW DOES THE COOLBOT WORK?
The CoolBot uses 2 sensors (ROOM and FIN sensors), the HEATER cable (red tip) and
a programmed micro-controller to direct your air conditioner to operate in such a way as
to cool the room to a set temperature in between 33°F/0.5°C and 65°F/18°C without
freezing up.
How does it do this?
The HEATER cable (red tip) is keeping your A/C's sensor warm to make the A/C "think"
it is warmer than the actual room temperature. By doing this, the compressor on your
A/C keeps running and cools down the space.
The ROOM and the FIN sensors are in charge of telling the HEATER when to stop
running. When the HEATER turns off, the A/C's sensor cools down and shuts off the
compressor in response.
If the room temperature reaches the set value, the HEATER will stop running. Your A/C's
Temperature sensor will cool down and shut the compressor off.
If the fins of your A/C are reaching the freezing set point (33°F/0.5°C factory default), the
HEATER will stop running. Your A/C's Temperature sensor will cool down and shut the
compressor off to allow for a defrost cycle. This is normal even if the room has not
reached its set point.
A slowly blinking Heater activity light is completely normal during operation. It indicates
that the HEATER is getting hot, and the CoolBot is "Calling for Cooling."
NOTE: The defrost of your A/C is not heat assisted; it defrosts by turning your
compressor off and circulating air over the frosted coil.
