Installation Guide for Artic Air 24 Volt R134A
Rev 004 April 20, 2014
There are five objectives to installing the
Artic Air unit:
1) The primary wiring from the battery,
2) The controller and controller cable,
3) The condenser air exhaust,
4) The condensate drain,
5) Secure tie down.
The first step is to review the Artic Air
"Information and Installation Guide" and Digital Control Operations Manual". See
section below.
Step 1: Primary wiring –
A #6 MIL-W-22759/16-6 wire is installed as the primary power source to the air
conditioner. This power source comes directly from the battery and is protected by a 60
amp circuit breaker installed adjacent to the battery. The Skybolt kit includes a
protective housing (AC-2109) to be installed with the circuit breaker.
For the Beech Baron, the easiest routing is along
the right side of the fuselage and cabin to the aft
baggage area. This routing requires the least
amount of side panels or floor removal. When
routing the primary wire also plan to route the
controller cable. The controller cable is shielded
and should not be cut or spliced. We recommend
a longer control cable than standard. Request a
20 or 35 foot cable with your unit to allow the
best possible panel location of the controller on
the instrument panel.
The primary wiring and controller wiring is routed beneath the aft baggage compartment
floor to the left side of the fuselage. Allow sufficient length of wire to be able to remove
the baggage compartment floor enough for maintenance and inspections. The controller

The cannon plug cannot be removed as the plug socket flange is positioned on top of the floor in order to be certain the plug connector will fully engage to the opposing floor socket connector.
- Page 3 discharge hole(s). Plan to position the unit approximately 2” aft of the front edge of the compartment floor. This should allow about 4-6 inches of spacing from the aft bulkhead to the back of the air conditioner. Once the air conditioner is removed, cut the required hole(s) in the aft bulkhead.

Drill ¼” mounting holes (6 each) for each track and arrow ends. Note: The track, backing strip, and ends are drilled as a set and may be slightly off if the backing strips are interchanged or turned around. Once the track is positioned and the screws inserted, you can determine the end or side that best fits the track and ends. -

Step 7: Condensate Connection - Install the air conditioner. Install AC-2122 straight fitting onto the AN833-8D bulkhead fitting that is attached to the floor (remove the ‘B’ nut portion of the fitting). Cut the vinyl condensate drain hose to length such that the end is pushed solidly onto the AC-2122 fitting.
