Open Windows To Exhaust Air
An often misunderstood concept of evaporative cooling is the amount
of air that should be exhausted. How much should you open your
windows? The fact is that most people do not open their windows
enough. The following two methods will help you determine the amount
to open your windows.
First Method
You should allow an opening of at least 2 square feet (288 square inches)
for each 1000 CFM rating of your unit. Example: At 3320 CFM,
model ADA 51 (1/2 hp) requires 6.6 square feet (950 square inches)
of opening (3320/1000 * 2 = 6.6). Multiply the number of windows
by window width in inches and divide this into the number of square
inches required for your size unit. This will give you the height to
open windows. In this example, four 36 inch wide windows should be
opened 6.6 inches each.
Champion Air Balancing Method
1. Take a piece of tissue paper and cut it lengthwise into 3 equal
strips.
2. Turn your cooler on high cool.
3. Open one window at least six inches wide in each room that you
want to cool.
4. Take the piece of tissue paper and put it up against the screen of the
open window furthest from the cooler discharge opening. Let go of
it. It will do one of three things.
IF It falls down.
THEN CLOSE all of the windows one inch and try step 4 again.
IF It plasters itself to the screen.
THEN OPEN all of the windows one inch and try step 4 again.
IF It stays on the screen lightly.
THEN PERFECT. You are done. Enjoy your cooler.
NOTES:
• When switching to low cool, you must rebalance your home. Repeat
step 4.
• Once you balance your home you can cool some areas more than others
by opening those windows more and closing the others by the same
amount. Repeat step 4 to make sure your home is still air balanced.
Cooler Installation
CAUTION:
Make sure that the mounting surface is strong
enough to support the operating weight of the cooler when in use.
(For operating weight, see Specifi cation Table.)
CAUTION:
Never plug in cooler until installation is complete
and unit has been tested for rigidity.
CAUTION:
Do not screw or drill within 5 inches of the bottom
of the wet module. You could puncture the reservoir.
CAUTION:
If the unit is supported with legs at each corner,
the middle of the unit where the two sections
join must be supported as well.
NOTE: You can separate the wet module
from the blower module by removing the 4
bolts (2 bolts in ADA35 and ASA35) from the
wet module side (Fig. 1)
Motor Installation
• Install motor cord. For typical 120V
installation, connect motor cord to motor using the following color
code: Black - Hi, Red - Low, White - Com., Green - Ground.

hook up should be done by a
qualifi ed electrician, so that all electrical wiring will conform to your
local standards. This unit is suppled with a 120V pump. For 240V
pump operation, a 240V pump must be purchased. The fan and pump
receptacles will support both 120V and 240V installations. See the
wiring diagrams for 120V and 240V installations on the following
page.
IMPORTANT: When a single speed motor is used, do not use the
red lead on the receptacle and motor plug wiring. Tape off end of
both of the red leads.
CAUTION:
Pump receptacle is for grounded evaporative cooler
WARNING:
Make sure that cooler cabinet is properly grounded
