Product Introduction - Houghton BELAIRE H2000 Owner's Manual

A. Purpose
HOUGHTON BELAIRE is designed to provide a comfortable environment inside a recreational vehicle or
caravan.
B. Achieving effective heating & cooling
Many factors will affect the total heat load within the caravan and many factors can also affect the working
efficiency of the air-conditioner . Before purchasing HOUGHTON BELAIRE air-conditioners,the user
the caravan manufacturer to understand the total heat load of the caravan and to choose the correct air-conditioner for
the application.
The following measures are very useful to reduce the heat load within a caravan or RV and improve the
performance of the air-conditioner.
● Close all the doors, skylights and windows, draw the curtains and open the sunshade or awning.
● Adjust the caravan's position to make sure the sunshade is on the southern side in the northern hemisphere or on
the northern side in the southern hemisphere. This will reduce the exposure to direct sunshine.
● Turn off unnecessary electrical appliances within the caravan to reduce the heat load.
● Cook outside of the caravan when possible.
● Park the caravan in shade if possible.
● In case of exceptionally high temperatures, turn on the air-conditioner in advance during the morning.
● Adjust the set temperature of the remote control to prevent frequent starting or stopping of the unit.
C. Condensation
When warm, moist air within the caravan meets with a cold surface, condensation water may be formed. This is also
known as "sweating". In this case, make sure the following measures are taken:
● Close and seal all the doors, skylights, windows to reduce the entrance of warm moist air.
● Operate the inside fan on high fan speed, avoid low and auto fan speeds.
During the operation of the air-conditioner, condensate water will be produced and allowed to drain onto the roof.
This is normal. The amount of condensate water is a function of air humidity. High humidity inside the caravan will
result in more condensate being generated. Close doors, windows and hatches to reduce this to a minimum.
Please note that losses or damage caused by the condensate water are not within warranty scope.
D. Choosing and using a generator
● HOUGHTON BELAIRE requires a mains quality AC power source for correct operation. If you decide to supply
power using a generator then you are strongly recommended to consult with the generator supplier to confirm
suitability and sizing of the generator for your application.
Please note that losses caused to the product by the using of the generator are not within warranty scope.
