Page 15
Description of the cooling system, continued Description Both evaporator and condenser are heat exchangers with copper tubes and aluminium coated fins. By the cooling of the evaporator air stream heat is adapted to the cooling circuit and released in the condenser together with the electric energy consumption of the compressor. At room temperatures below 20 °C, where cooling is not normally required, the humidity in the airflow will form ice on the evaporator.
Description of the control board Introduction This section gives a description of the control board. A description of how to start up, for example, is found in the relevant sections. The control panel on the front contains the controls required for normal operation. Illustration This drawing illustrates the control board of the AC 24: See references on next page.

Description of the high and low pressure switch function Introduction This topic describes the HP/LP function. System protection The cooling system is protected by pressure switches. If the pressure falls outside of the normal operating range, the air conditioner compressor is automatically switched off. This is to prevent component damage.
Functional description VENT With the function switch in this position the evaporator fan will operate continuously and Ventilation-only the cooling unit, heating coil (if installed) and condenser fan will be turned off. operation This mode can be used to bring in fresh outdoor air or to recirculate the indoor air - even when cooling or heating (if installed) is not needed.
User’s guide Introduction This section describes how to utilise the different functions. WARNING Do not try to restart the compressor several times within a short period. This will make the compressor overheat and may damage it. The internal compressor thermostatic protection may also cut out. Operating the product outside the temperature range specified in the technical data will cause the cooling system to start frequently.

Preparations Location Follow these conditions when siting the air conditioner: Conditions Place in the shade as close as possible to the tent/shelter that needs to be ventilated Place the air supply ducts in both ends of the tent/shelter Allow sufficient space around the air conditioner for operating and servicing access Avoid sharp bends or kinking when locating air supply ducts in order to avoid disrup-tion of the airflow (see “Recommended camp configuration”, page 24) Keep any source of engine exhaust fumes (vehicles/generators etc.) away from air in-takes...
Setup Procedure Step Action Find a suitable location for the air conditioner as described on previous page. Supply ducts. Connect the flexible air hoses to the evaporator discharge openings ( Cold air out) and insert the opposite end of the hose to the tent. If there are any internal distribution hoses in the tent, these can also be connected.
Press and hold both buttons when powering up the unit. FACTORY RESET (FAC is displayed) Note: Above mentioned factory reset does only apply on units with serial numbers after 1810000000000. Contact Dantherm for thermostat controller factory settings for units with serial numbers below 1810000000000.
Recommended camp configuration Introduction The configuration is an important factor for gaining the highest performance and reliability from the air conditioner including lowest power consumption. A camp can be set up in various ways and still work, but a few important hints will be given in this section. This section describes the following: •...
