Determining The Installation Position - Dometic CoolAir SP950C Installation Manual

CoolAir SP950C/SPX1200C
You should always observe the following tips and information when installing the
parking cooler:
• Please consult the manufacturer of your vehicle with regard to the following.
– is the cab's rear panel a suitable location for attaching the unit?
– is the body designed to bear the static weight and loads occasioned by
the parking cooler in a moving vehicle?
• Always check before installation of the unit whether any vehicle components
could be damaged, deformed or impaired in terms of their functionality as a
result of the installation.
• Avoid any unnecessary and frequent mechanical stress to the supply line
between the evaporator unit and the compressor unit. Damage can result in
the loss of refrigerant and impair the performance of the unit.
• The supplied assembly parts must not be modified during installation.
• The ventilation slots (grill) may not be covered (minimum distance from other
attachment parts: 10 cm).
• If a fastening frame is not used to install the system, make sure that the
installation position of the compressor unit on the rear panel is not too low.
The system could be damaged by high temperatures of the engine's waste
heat.
• The device shall be installed in accordance with national wiring regulations.

Determining the installation position

The installation position of the unit must meet the following criteria:
• All maintenance work must be easy to perform.
• Sufficient space must be available for the refrigerant line.
• The compressor unit must not be installed with a horizontal or vertical
inclination.
• The compressor unit must not be fitted near direct waste heat (engine heat
etc.).
• The refrigerant line must be long enough to connect the compressor and
evaporator units. The line must not be laid taut.
– SP950T/SPX1200T: approx. 4.2 m
– SP950I: approx. 2.3 m
– SPX1200IC: approx. 2.1 m
• The fastening surface should be as flat as possible. Use spacer sleeves for
uneven surfaces. If spacer sleeves are used, longer fastening screws with
sufficient tensile strength (not included in the assembly set) must be used.
• The freedom of movement of semi-trailers (of the outer edges of the semi-
trailer when turning or jackknifing) and other vehicle attachments must not be
restricted.
