GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Observe the following general safety instructions for installation and operation of this product: • This appliance is for installation only in locations not accessible to the general public. • This appliance is not intended for use by persons, including children, with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
HANDLING AND TESTING THE AIR CONDITIONER If the air conditioner has been in a horizontal position, be certain it is placed in an upright, vertical or mounting position for a minimum of five (5) minutes before operating. TEST FOR FUNCTIONALITY BEFORE MOUNTING THE AIR CONDITIONER TO THE ENCLOSURE. Refer to the nameplate for proper electrical current requirements.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 1. Refer to nameplate for hazardous location rating. 2. Install a suitable switch to de-energize the air conditioner for repairs or remove the fuse. 3. Inspect the air conditioner and verify correct functionality before mounting the air conditioner. See Handling and Testing the Air Conditioner on page 5.
DANGER: Danger: Explosion hazard - Substition or incorrect installation of components may void the suitability for hazardous location use. Danger: Risque d’explosion – Le remplacement ou une mauvaise installation des composants peuvent rendre l’équipement inadapté à une utilisation en zone dangereuse. Note: This design utilizes an encapsulated compressor overload, which is mounted on the side of the compressor body.

115 V/230 V to 10 V Transformer (Optional) This transformer powers the thermal display. Door Switch Several door switches may be connected in series and operated on one cooling unit. The door switch only supports a floating connection, no external voltages. Remove jumper from terminals 3 and 4 of the connector and connect the door switch to the two terminals if a door switch is available.
Cooling/heating setpoint, cooling/heating differential and high/low temperature setpoint are designed to be adjustable by the operator. All alarms are outputted through the alarm relay. In addition, if nVent HOFFMAN network card (Remote Access Control (RAC) Module) is used the parameters that state above and alarms are accessible remotely through Ethernet connection utilizing SNMP, Modbus TCP, EtherNet/IP, and Profinet protocol.

There are seven possible alarms (non-latching) detectable by the controller and are indicated on the controller display. All alarms are accessible locally. If a nVent HOFFMAN network card (RAC module) is used, alarms are also accessible remotely through the Ethernet and USB connection.
To reset the alarms in alarm history folder The controller is designed with ability to reset or clear the alarm history 1. Follow instructions above to enter the passcode and open the reset folder (rStF). 2. The screen displays rSAL on line 2 and nO on line 1, press button the nO is flashing.
5. Any unit that loses communication with the primary unit will enter standalone mode and continue operating based on its own temperature probe until communication is re-established. 6. All temperature setpoints and alarms can be viewed remotely if one of the ACUs is equipped with nVent HOFFMAN network card (RAC module).
To configure the controller from single mode to PS mode, simply follow below procedures 1. Before proceeding the PS mode configuration for each controller, make sure that the communication cable is connected from one ACU to another using a shielded cable with the shield grounded. 2.
When set to zero ACU1 and ACU2 will automatically alternate every cycle. Air conditioner unit remote communication features Air conditioners that include the optional nVent HOFFMAN network card (RAC module) have remote communication capabilities utilizing SNMP, Modbus TCP, EtherNet/IP, Profinet Protocol via Ethernet connection, and Modbus RTU protocol via USB connection.
Ethernet or USB connection. With nVent HOFFMAN PC Interface Tool a user has the ability to remotely manage and monitor hundreds of nVent HOFFMAN air conditioners both domestically and globally at one central location at user’s own pace, so long as all air conditioners are configured in the same subnet in the network.
A/C units configure in the same subnet in the network. Refer to remote access control (RAC) Instruction Manual for configuring multiple units and with text message and email capability in nVent HOFFMAN A.C.
MAINTENANCE Performing preventative maintenance (PM) helps to keep your nVent HOFFMAN AC unit operating at the highest most efficient levels. Maintenance should be performed at least twice a year, more frequently when in challenging conditions, such as dusty, high humidity, high heat, oily or corrosive environments.
Breaking of seals on compressor access fittings during warranty period will void warranty on hermetic system. Recharging ports are provided for the ease and convenience of reputable refrigeration repair service personnel for recharging the air conditioner. Inlet air filter This air conditioner was designed with a dust resistant condenser coil. This allows it to be run filterless in most applications. The air conditioner is shipped with a filter in place for your convenience.
Condensate management and drain trap maintenance The drain trap can be cleaned by pouring soapy water into the face of the evaporator coil. An alternate method is to remove the panel underneath the condenser coil, locate the drain trap above the condensate evaporator pan, and blow compressed air through the tube. Condenser and evaporator air movers Impeller motors require no maintenance.
