Operation; Cooler Installation - Champion WC 35 Instruction Manual

Operation

Manual Control Units
• Pump setting. The rotary switch has 6 settings. The "Pump"
setting will operate the pump without the blower. For best
results turn the switch to "Pump" for a few minutes to wet the
pads before operating the fan.
• High and low cool settings. The "High Cool" and "Low
Cool" settings operate both the pump and the blower. Turn the
unit to "Low Cool" when possible. This lower speed allows
the air to stay longer in the wet pads and therefore increases
it's cooling efficiency.
• High and low vent settings. The "High Vent" and "Low
Vent" settings operate the blower without the pump. This is
useful on cool nights or at times when just a fan is desired.
Remote Control Units
These units may be controlled using the 3 buttons on the front panel
of the cooler or with the remote control.
• PUMP button. Pressing this button toggles the pump on and off.
When the LED is lit, the pump is running. For best results turn
on the pump for a few minutes to wet the pads before operat-
ing the fan. The pump must be on while operating the fan for
cooling. You may also want the pump turned off at times when
just a fan is desired.
• FAN button. Pressing this button will cycle the fan through
High Speed / Low Speed / Off. The LED's on the front of the
control indicate wether the fan is on high speed, low speed or
off (no LED's lit). Note: There will be a 2 second delay
between a button press and the operation of the fan.
• ON/OFF button. Pressing this button while the pump or fan is
on will turn everything off. Pressing it again while in the off state
will return the fan and pump to their previous operating settings.
When first plugging in the cooler or after power has been inter-
rupted, pressing the On/Off button will start the cooler in the
default state which is with the pump on and the fan on high.
• Remote Control. The remote control has the same button func-
tions as the buttons on the front panel of the cooler. You will need
to install the battery that came with the unit before operating the
remote. The remote control uses a single CR2025 battery which
can be purchased at a local store.
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 method will help you
determine the amount to open your windows.
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 open-
ing. 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

Installing House Legs
• NOTE: If installing unit without the use of the installation
kit, omit these directions and those pertaining to Fig. 2.
• Remove two corner screws in the bottom pan (A-Fig 1).
• Place the house leg bracket in the corner of the bottom pan,
using the two top holes in the
bracket (B-Fig 1). Replace the two
previously removed screws to hold
the house leg bracket in place (As
shown by dotted house leg
bracket).
• Refer to the instructions "Adjust
house legs" below for adjusting the
house legs.
Mounting Cooler
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 Specification Table.)
CAUTION:
Never plug in cooler until installation is
complete and unit has been tested for rigidity.
• Lift out all removable louvered sides.
• Screw chain hooks into window facing. Position the two
chain hooks above the neck of the cooler a distance equal to the
width of the cooler
apart (A-Fig. 2). Hook
one hanger chain in each
hook and then one "S"
hook in the other end of
each chain. NOTE: The
chain hooks supplied
with this mounting kit
are for use in wood.
Additional anchors can
be purchased at your
local hardware store for
anchoring in other
types of materials such
as concrete or brick.
