Overview Thank you for your purchase of the Thermal Edge Special Purpose Air Conditioner. Our air conditioning equipment is carefully designed to cool and dehumidify the air in electronic component enclosures. Thermal Edge has designed air conditioners for all types of electronic equipment enclosures providing capacity from 1,000 to 20,000 BTUH.
Page 5
Thermal Edge 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.
Page 6
In the event of excess water vapor where the enclosure door has been left open there is an overflow hole on the bottom of every unit. Please contact Thermal Edge Inc. if you encounter excess water coming from your air conditioner.

Preliminary Testing Before mounting the air conditioner to the enclosure, test for proper operation. Follow the steps below prior to installation. WARNINGS The air conditioner must sit upright for 24 hours to assure the compressor oil has drained down to the compressor.
Page 9
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.
