FOREWORD This manual has been published to service the MovinCool 24HFU and 24HFU-1. Both the Model 24HFU and 24HFU-1 perform the same basic function, however the 24HFU-1 has additional features. Please use this service manual in servicing Models 24HFU and 24HFU-1.
(condenser) to exhaust exchanged heat to the out- doors. Unlike conventional air conditioners, the MovinCool Spot Cooling System is a spot cooler which directs cool air to particular areas or objects. MovinCool Spot Cooling Systems have the following features: 1-1.

CONSTRUCTION AND SPECIFICATIONS 2-1. Basic Construction The MovinCool Spot Cooling System is compact in construction because the condenser and the evaporator are enclosed in one unit. The interior is divided into three sections. The upper front face is equipped with the evaporator, while the lower front face contains the drain tank.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM • 24HFU 4-1. Basic Operation of MovinCool Modelp 24HFU Electrical Circuit The three basic modes of operation are as follows: 1) Control Switch in “OFF” position: Operation in “OFF” position a. Current flows through terminals 5 and 2 of the control switch (CS) and to the coil of the auxiliary relay (RX).

Condensate Pump Kit <OPTIONAL> Models 24HFU and 24HFU-1 come standard with a condensate tank, which collects the water that forms on the evaporator during normal cooling operation. If the unit is required to operate continuously without periodic emptying of this tank, a condensate pump may be needed.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM • 24HFU-1 UNIQUE FEATURES OF MOVINCOOL 24HFU-1 The MovinCool 24HFU-1 is a modified version of Model 24HFU. Model 24HFU-1 has several additional features, which are described below. 4-1. Automatic Restart After Power Interruption A restart auxiliary relay has been added to the electrical system to allow automatic restarting of the system after a power interruption, eliminating the need for manual reset of the control switch.

Because there is a built-in delay circuit to protect the compressor, the compressor will never start up immedi- ately, regardless of the type of operation. This delay is part of the normal operation of Model 24HFU-1 and should not be diagnosed as a malfunction.
