Overview Thank you for your purchase of the DELTA-T Special Purpose Air Conditioner. Our air conditioning equipment is carefully designed to cool and dehumidify the air in electronic component enclosures. ISC has designed air conditioners for all types of electronic equipment enclosures providing capacity from 1,000 to 20,000 BTUH.
Moving the Air Conditioners Read this section completely before running or installing your DELTA-T air conditioning equipment. Note: You will need to perform a Preliminary Test before mounting the air conditioner. Refer to the Preliminary Test section in this manual for instructions on how to run this test. You will also need to prepare the enclosure that is to be cooled for mounting in accordance with this manual and the template supplied.
Operation DELTA-T air conditioners will lower (or increase as necessary) the temperature inside an enclosure to ensure its proper operational temperature. Our air conditioners, when sized properly, will provide cooling or heating automatically controlled by the temperature digital controller. DELTA-T air conditioners operate as a “closed loop” system with no exposure or introduction of outside air.
The condenser fan is controlled by the refrigerant high heat pressure and will turn on later when the operating pressure builds up. This feature allows low ambient operation and reduces current inrush at initial power on. Run the air conditioner for 15 minutes; during this time the condenser fan will turn on after the condenser coil warms up.

Loss of Refrigerant DELTA-T air conditioners are meticulously leak and run tested after assembly. If a leak in the system should develop due to shipping damage or mechanical vibration, the leak must be detected, repaired and the refrigerant charge restored to the system by a qualified refrigeration professional.
Conditioner has been tested by UL to meet the safety requirements of the UL484 specification. When working with the DELTA-T Air Conditioner always makes sure shroud is installed. Verify proper voltage is applied to unit as specified in the UL label of the Air Conditioner. In the event of a field service repair, power down unit using the power on/off switch and disconnect power from unit.
Troubleshooting Guide The following guide provides a flow chart to identify a problem, determine the root cause and identify the action needed to correct an issue. Verify input power meets voltage Unit Will Not Run Is Unit Verify Power On/Off requirements as Connected? Switch is on position...
