Pac II™ A/C Description & Specs 1.1 General Description The Marvair M Pac II™ air conditioner line is a series of vertical wall-mounted air conditioning systems that provide heating and cooling for modular construction offices and classrooms. The series includes three cabinet sizes and nominal cooling capacities from 24,000 to 56,000 BTUH.
1.2 General Operation Refrigerant Cycle (Cooling Mode) The ModPac II™ A/C uses R-22 refrigerant in a conventional vapor-compression refrigeration cycle to transfer heat from air in an enclosed space to the outside. A double blower assembly blows indoor air across the evaporator. Liquid refrigerant passing through the evaporator is boiled into gas by heat removed from the air.
Failure to observe and follow Warnings and Cautions and these Instructions could result in death, bodily injury or property damage. Read this manual and follow its instructions and adhere to all Cautions and Warnings in the manual and on the Marvair unit. 2.1 Equipment Inspection Concealed Damage Inspect all cartons and packages upon receipt for damage in transit.
Do not obstruct airflow through the unit. Applications using duct work should be designed and installed in accordance with all applicable safety codes and standards. Marvair strongly recommends referring to the current edition of ®...
Motorized Damper - 0 to 450 cfm of Outside Air and Pressure Relief (Configuration B) The settings of the damper require a balometer and a thermometer for measuring internal and external temperatures. a. Measure the total supply air with a balometer. If the supply air is controlled by a manual fan speed controller, make certain that the air flow is in accordance with Table 3, Air Flow (CFM) at Various Static Pressures.
VPG -40RF, 30 x 16" Aluminum Return Filter Grille for AVP 42-48-60 *Use when outside air is not required. Remove and discard filter in unit. Additional Items Needed: Additional hardware and miscellaneous supplies (not furnished by Marvair ) are needed for instal- ®...
The duct system must be engineered to assure sufficient air flow through the ModPac II™ A/C, even under adverse conditions such as dirty filters, etc. Use Table 2 below and Table 3 - CFM at External Static Pressure (Wet Coil) in section 5.1.
system must be engineered to insure sufficient air flow through the unit to prevent over-heating of the heater element. This includes proper supply duct sizing, sufficient quantity of supply regis- ters, adequate return and filter area. Duct work must be of correct material and must be properly insulated.
2.6 "V" Damper Installation ® Figure 4. "V" Damper Installation 2.7 Bracket Installation 1. The M Pac II™ air conditioners have built-in mounting flanges. See Figure 5. 2. Refer to Figure 5. Attach the bottom support bracket to the wall using appropriate 3/8" diameter hardware.
For units with electric heat, a one inch clearance is required around the duct extensions. The duct extensions must be constructed of galvanized steel with a minimum thickness of .019” as per the NFPA standards 90A & 90B. Figure 5. Wall Mounting Detail - Models AVP24-60 2.8 Mounting the Unit 1.
All electrical work must meet the requirements of local codes and ordinances. Work should be done only by qualified persons. CAUTION ModPac II™ A/C units incorporate an internal crankcase heater for compressor protection. The crankcase heater must be energized for at least 24 hours prior to starting the compressor.
after several minutes of operation the compressor's internal protector will trip. The compressor will then cycle on the protector until the phasing is corrected. Reverse operation for longer than one hour may have a negative impact on the bearings. Failure to ensure proper rotation will void the warranty of the compressor.
Various thermostats can be used to control the air conditioner. The thermostat may have a fan switch with an Automatic and on positions, a system switch with Heat, Cool, and off positions. The spec sheets have detailed description of the various Marvair thermostats.
A comprehensive understanding of the operation of the M Pac II™ air conditioner is a prereq- uisite to troubleshooting. Please read the Chapter 1 for basic information about the unit. Marvair Pac II™ air conditioners are thoroughly tested before they are shipped from ®...
4.2 Failure Symptoms Guide PROBLEM/SYMPTOM LIKELY CAUSE(S) CORRECTION A. Unit does not run. 1. Power supply problem. 1. Check power supply for adequate phase and voltage. Check wiring to unit and external breakers or fuses. 2. Blown fuse or breaker. 2.
4.3 Compressor Troubleshooting NOTE: It is important to rule out other component failures before condemning the compressor. The following electrical tests will aid diagnosis: 1. Start-Up Voltage: Measure the voltage at the compressor terminals during start-up. The voltage must exceed the minimum shown in Table 4, section 2.2, or compressor failure is likely.
4.4 Electric Heat Controls Figure 7. Typical Configuration for Single Element Heater The electric heater assembly can have up to three individual heating elements. Each individual heating element is protected against overheating by its own dual function thermal cut-out switch. Additionally, a separate single function thermal cut-out switch protects the entire heater assem- bly.

Maintenance 6.1 Scheduled Maintenance Marvair strongly recommends that the air conditioner be serviced a minimum of twice a year ® – once prior to the heating season and once prior to the cooling season. At this time the filters, evaporator coil, condenser coil, the cabinet, and condensate drains should be serviced as described below.
Marvair will honor its warranty and furnish the required replacement part. All costs for shipment and risk of loss during shipment of the product to Marvair and back to the owner shall be the responsibility and liability of the owner. Upon written request by an owner, Marvair may...
