General Safety
Keep children and animals away from air conditioning units.
Never leave them alone in a room where the units in use.
This equipment should only be used by a competent person who
has read and understood these instructions.
Never operate this equipment if you are ill, feeling tired or under the
influence of alcohol or drugs.
Keep the Air Conditioning vents clear of all obstructions.
Never put anything on top of the unit or block the air outlets.
Make sure equipment is switched off and unplugged after use
Never leave switched on or unattended.
Do not use the unit where sunlight is shining directly onto it.
Check condition of equipment before use. If unit is showing signs of
damage contact your supplier immediately.
Electrical Safety
This unit requires a 230 volt electrical supply. It plugs into a
standard BS1363 domestic socket.
Always inspect plugs and leads for damage before plugging into
the supply - DO NOT USE IF ANY DAMAGE IS FOUND
Ensure cables are run as not to cause a hazard.
If an extension lead is used, ensure it is of the correct standard ,
and fully uncoiled when being used.
Do not lay electrical cables in wet / damp areas.
Do not move equipment whilst operating.
Do not pull equipment by its cable.
It is recommended that electrical equipment is used via a suitable RCD.
WARNING!
As standard this unit requires a 13 amp fused electrical supply rated at
230v 1ph 50hz.
The unit will operate from a standard 13A wall socket. The size of any
extension cable that may be 2-5mm2 minimum up to a maximum
length of 10 metres. For longer lengths 4mm2 cable must be used.
If the cable is on a 'cable drum' then ensure that it is completely
unwound; serious complications will occur otherwise.
Air Cooled Units
The system comprises, a room unit fitted with either a fixed or flexible
ducting system as specified by the customer. Condensate is collected,
either in the units internal tank and emptied by the user or pumped
using an optional condensate disposal unit (fig. 1).
Air Flow
The angled air outlets at the top of the room unit are fitted with air grilles
that allow the angle of air outlet to be adjusted vertically and horizontally
and, in conjunction with the fan speed control switch, the air velocity
and direction can be carefully set up to obtain maximum coverage of
the area being cooled without causing drafts. Care should be taken
to avoid outlet air being obstructed as this will cause the air to 'eddy'
around the unit resulting in recirculation and short/inaccurate cycling of
the machine. Ideally, cold air should be directed to create a 'blanket' all
across the ceiling area allowing natural convection to drop the air over
the whole area at very low velocity. An alternative top panel with twin 7"
ducts is available.
Siting of Zephyr
Ideally, the room unit should be positioned equidistant along he shortest
wall in the room blowing down the length of the room. Of there is more
than one unit in the same area, then they would normally be positioned
side by side, and equidistant along the long wall, all pointing in the
same direction. Sometimes it may be necessary to position units
around the perimeter of an area but, in this case, great care should
be taken t avoid one unit blowing cold air straight into another which
will adversely affect the machine operation. Good and correct air flow
is, perhaps, the single most important aspect of satisfactory applying
portable air conditioners. If in doubt seek the advice of your supplier.
Exhaust Tubes Air Cooled Unit
The exhaust tube(s) must carry the air to an area external to that being
cooled, preferably in the outside atmosphere (fig. 1).
