GENERAL DESCRIPTION The Oceanaire AIRBOSS is a portable air-cooled spot cooler designed for permanent or temporary cooling applications. The entire air conditioning unit has been built in an attractive sheet metal cabinet, equipped with heavy -duty casters for mobility. All Air Boss models come with a 10-foot power cord for electrical connection and added mobility in service.
STANDARD FEATURES CABINET The AirBoss Series cabinet is constructed of 18 gauge steel with a gray polyester powder coated finish that will compliment any decor. The entire cabinet is insulated with a sound- absorbing insulation for cool, quiet comfort. All units come equipped with handles and swivel casters for portability and convenient set-up.
APPLICATIONS SPOT COOLER The Air Boss can be used in an open environment to cool specific objects or "spots". Spot Cooling is a convenient and economical way to provide air conditioning where cooling the entire space is impractical. Cool air is discharged from the unit and is directed where it is needed.
SERVICE CORD All AirBoss Series units are equipped with the standard ten foot long service cord with plug configurations and receptacle requirements as shown in this chart. PAC1211, PAC1811, PAC2412 and PAC3612 units come with LCDI (Leakage Current Detection & Interruption) devices that serve as a means of electrical protection. CAUTION—DO NOT USE THE LCDI AS AN ON/OFF SWITCH FOR THE UNIT All 3-phase models are equipped with locking plugs for added connection reliability.
CONDENSATE RESERVOIR TANK For Air Boss Models PAC12, PAC18, PAC24 and PAC36, a 5-gallon polyethylene tank is provided standard, to collect condensate. The tank is located in the lower, front section of the unit. A high water level cut-out switch is used to stop the compressor and condenser fan automatically when the tank's pre-set water level has been reached.

ACCESSORIES DISCHARGE AIR NOZZLE KIT ASSEMBLY (2NK) The optional discharge nozzle kits are used to direct the condi- tioned air to a specific target area. By concentrating the airflow, the nozzles increase the air velocity towards production lines to cool personnel or equipment. In server rooms, the nozzles can be Nozzle Kits used to induce airflow through the rack to remove the hot air from the area of the equipment.

ACCESSORIES CONDENSER RETURN AIR PLENUM, 2DCP Condenser return air plenums are available for installations where it is required to duct air to the inlet of the condenser. The plenum easily attaches with one screw to the back of the unit, and is provided with flange(s) for connecting 12-inch flexible ducting. A con- denser return air plenums can substantially reduce air noise and allows the unit to oper- ate without drawing condenser air from the conditioned space.
