Overview Thank you for your purchase of the DELTA-T Special Purpose Air Conditioner. Our air conditioning equipment is carefully designed to cool and dehumidify the air in electronic component enclosures. ISC has designed air conditioners for all types of electronic equipment enclosures providing capacity from 1,000 to 20,000 BTUH.
DELTA-T air conditioners operate as a “closed loop” system with no exposure or introduction of outside air. This ensures that the enclosure is separated from and is not contaminated with ambient air, dirt, chemicals, dust, moisture or foreign matter so that sensitive enclosure components are protected and are kept at your required operational temperature.
The cooling is done using a simple refrigeration cycle. A product of this simple refrigeration cycle is excess humidity that condenses to a liquid. DELTA-T air conditioners are designed using an advanced refrigeration cycle and are equipped with a Condensate Removal System that changes the excess humidity liquid into a vapor which is then vented to the atmosphere.
Mounting the Air Conditioner Using the template supplied, determine where the air conditioner is to be mounted and assure that all required cuts and holes will not interfere with or damage the enclosure or its contents. Assure that there is a 3” clearance between walls / obstructions and the air conditioner for the condenser supply air and return air flow so that it is not restricted.

Refer to Advanced Digital Temperature Controller Programming section on page 8 for details on changing these parameters. Celsius Programming Celsius Programming option allows the user to control the DELTA-T Air Conditioner in SI units. This feature can be programmed into the digital temperature controller at time of manufacturing. External Heat Output This option allows you to add an external heater to be located anywhere in your enclosure.

Do not use solvents to clean the programmable thermostat. Wipe with mild soap and water. Condenser and Evaporator Fans DELTA-T air conditioners use high efficiency, long life, sealed ball bearing fans engineered for optimum performance that require no maintenance. Keep fan blades clean for optimal performance. Fans are removable and attached by plug in connections.

Loss of Refrigerant DELTA-T air conditioners are meticulously leak and run tested after assembly. If a leak in the system should develop due to shipping damage or mechanical vibration, the leak must be detected, repaired and the refrigerant charge restored to the system by a qualified refrigeration professional.
Field Serviceable Part s ISC carefully designs and selects components with the maximum life expectancy. Due to OEM manufacturing tolerances, poor unit maintenance or extreme operating conditions, components may fail before their maximum life expectancy. The table below lists parts that are serviceable in the field by an Air Conditioner Technician. Voltage Part Description ISC Part #...
Conditioner has been tested by UL to meet the safety requirements of the UL484 specification. When working with the DELTA-T Air Conditioner always makes sure shroud is installed. Verify proper voltage is applied to unit as specified in the UL label of the Air Conditioner.
