GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Observe the following general safety instructions for installation and operation of this product: · This appliance is for installation only in locations not accessible to the general public. · This appliance is not intended for use by persons, including children, with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack
of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. · Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. · This appliance should be installed in accordance with national wiring regulations. · Follow all precautions detailed in the following sections during transportation, receiving, testing, operation and maintenance. · This appliance is intended for altitudes up to 10,000 ft (3,048 m) from sea level. For every additional 1000 ft of elevation, the capacity of this unit is derated by 1%.
RECEIVING THE AIR CONDITIONER
Inspect the air conditioner. Check for concealed damage that may have occurred during shipment. Look for dents, scratches, loose assemblies, evidence of oil, etc. Damage evident upon receipt should be noted on the freight bill. Damage should be brought to the attention of the delivering carrier ­ NOT to nVent Equipment Protection ­ within 15 days of delivery. Save the carton and packing material and request an inspection. Then file a claim with the delivering carrier. nVent Equipment Protection cannot accept responsibility for freight damages; however, we will assist you in any way possible.
HANDLING AND TESTING THE AIR CONDITIONER
If the air conditioner has been in a horizontal position, be certain it is placed in an upright, vertical or mounting position for a minimum of five (5) minutes before operating.
CAUTION:
Do not attempt to operate the air conditioner while it is horizontal or on its side, back or front. The refrigeration compressor is filled with lubricating oil. This will cause permanent damage to the air conditioner and also voids the warranty.
TEST FOR FUNCTIONALITY BEFORE MOUNTING THE AIR CONDITIONER TO THE ENCLOSURE. Refer to the nameplate for proper electrical current requirements. If cord-connected, connect the power cord to a properly grounded power supply. If permanently connected, wire the unit to a properly grounded power supply using copper conductors only. Power supply wiring should be restrained to ensure no contact with the internal fan. Minimum circuit ampacity should be at least 125% of the amperage shown in the design data section for the appropriate model. No other equipment should be connected to this circuit to prevent overloading. The air conditioner is rated for operation at 50 and 60 Hz. No action is necessary to adjust the appliance operation at the rated frequencies. Immediately after applying power, the evaporator blower (enclosure air) should start running. Operate the air conditioner for five (5) to ten (10) minutes. No excessive noise or vibration should be evident during this run period. The condenser blower (ambient air), the evaporator blower (enclosure air), and the compressor should be running. Condenser air temperatures should be warmer than normal room temperatures within a few minutes. The compressor is provided with automatic reset thermal overload protection. This thermo-switch is located and mounted inside the plastic enclosure clipped to the compressor. The switch operates when the compressor overheats due to clogged or dirty inlet air filter or if ambient air temperatures exceed nameplate rating or if enclosure dissipated heat loads exceed the rated capacity of the air conditioner. The thermal overload switch will actuate and stop compressor operation. The blowers will continue to operate and the compressor will restart after it has cooled to within the thermal overload cut-in temperature setting.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Inspect air conditioner and verify functionality before mounting the air conditioner, see HANDLING AND TESTING THE AIR CONDITIONER on page 3.
2. Using the cutout dimensions shown in this manual, prepare the air "IN" and air "OUT" openings, and mounting bolt hole pattern for the enclosure. Select an installation location that will allow for adequate ventilation and clearance for service. Clearance between the air conditioner with or without a supplementary heater and adjacent structures (another enclosure, air conditioner, wall, or combustible surface) must be at least:
· 24 from front · 6 from right side · 2 from left side · 6 from top; allow 20 above filter for filter removal · 14 from bottom
Local fire codes may have different requirements; please observe applicable regulations for the location of the air conditioner.
The distance between the air conditioner and the electronic components and other equipment installed inside the enclosure must be at least 3 to ensure adequate air circulation. At minimum clearance levels, an air baffle between the inlet and outlet may be necessary to prevent recirculation.
3. Using the mounting gasket kit provided with the unit, install gasket to air conditioner. 4. Mount air conditioner on enclosure using mounting bolts and washers provided to secure unit to enclosure. Allow unit to remain upright
for a minimum of five (5) minutes before starting. Caution! Air conditioner must be in upright position during operation. 5. To avoid cross-threading mounting inserts, start bolts by hand before tightening with a wrench or ratchet driver. 6. Refer to the top of the nameplate for electrical requirements. Connect the power cord or wire the unit to a properly grounded power
supply by following applicable national wiring regulations. Use of an extension cord is not recommended. If the air conditioner is wired to the power supply, the electrical circuit should be fused with a time delay fuse or HACR circuit breaker per the MOPD rating in the Design Data table ­ see page 15. 7. When the unit is equipped with an automatic temperature controller, the controller is preset at the factory for your convenience and should not require adjustment.

SYSTEM CONTROLS
LEVEL I TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER
The Level I controller is located inside the air conditioner. To adjust, disconnect power to the air conditioner and open the front panel by loosening the front panel screw. Refer to Parts List diagram on page 14 to locate the controller. Turn the controller adjustment screw slot counter-clockwise to increase and clockwise to decrease the temperature set point, see Figure 1. The thermostat cooling set point is indicated by the alignment of the adjustment screw slot with the dial decal. After completing adjustment, close the front panel and tighten the front panel screw. Restore power to the air conditioner for operation.
LEVEL II AND III TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER
The Level II and III controller mounted on the air conditioner front panel is factory set for standard operation. All operating parameters are programmable for custom applications. Refer to the Level II and III programming and Operating Instruction Manual, 10-1008-161.

Figure 1 Level I control

nVent.com/HOFFMAN | 15

TEMPERATURE CONTROL
The electromechanical thermostat is factory preset to 75 °F/23 °C. To change the temperature setting, refer to SYSTEM CONTROLS on page 15.
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
If electrical power to the air conditioner is interrupted and reapplied immediately (within 3 to 5 seconds), the compressor may not restart due to the high back pressure of the compressor. It takes a minimum of one (1) minute after shut-down for the compressor suction and discharge pressures to equalize in order for the air conditioner to restart. Operating the air conditioner below the minimum ambient temperature or above the maximum ambient temperatures indicated on the nameplate voids all warranties. It is recommended that the warranty section of this manual be read in order to familiarize yourself with parameters of restricted operation. The moisture that the enclosure air can contain is limited. If moisture flows from the drain tube continuously this can only mean that ambient air is entering the enclosure. Be aware that frequent opening of the enclosure's door admits humid air which the air conditioner must then dehumidify.
MAINTENANCE
Performing preventative maintenance (PM) helps to keep your nVent HOFFMAN AC unit operating at the highest most efficient levels. Maintenance should be performed at least twice a year, more frequently when in challenging conditions, such as dusty, high humidity, high heat, oily or corrosive environments. Product failures due to lack of maintenance may impact warranty coverage.
COMPRESSOR The compressor requires no maintenance. It is hermetically sealed, properly lubricated at the factory and should provide years of satisfactory operating service. Visually inspect the compressor for proper operation, mounting, visible signs for exposure to high heat. Should the refrigerant charge be lost, recharging ports (access fittings) on the suction and discharge sides of the compressor are provided for recharging and/or checking suction and discharge pressures. Under no circumstances should the access fitting covers be loosened, removed or tampered with unless authorized refrigeration repair service personnel. Breaking of seals on compressor access fittings during warranty period will void warranty on hermetic system. Recharging ports are provided for the ease and convenience of reputable refrigeration repair service personnel for recharging the air conditioner.
INLET AIR FILTER Proper maintenance of the ambient air filter is critical to normal operation of the air conditioner. If filter maintenance is delayed or ignored, this can result in decreased performance and/or premature failure of the compressor and other air conditioner components. Do not run the air conditioner for extended periods of time with the filter removed. Particles of dust, lint, etc., can plug the fins of the condenser coil which will give the same reaction as a plugged filter. The condenser coil is not visible through the filter opening, so protect it with a filter. Continued operation under the above conditions can and will damage and shorten compressor life.
HOW TO REMOVE, CLEAN OR INSTALL A NEW INLET AIR FILTER Research Products (RP) aluminum washable air filters are designed to provide excellent filtering efficiency with a high dust holding capacity and a minimum amount of resistance to air flow. Since they are constructed entirely of aluminum, they are lightweight and easy to service. Optimum filter performance is maintained by recoating the filters after washing with RP Super Filter Coat adhesive. To achieve maximum performance from your air handling equipment, air filters should be cleaned on a regular basis. The inlet air filter is located behind the right side panel. To access the filter, pull from slot on top cover. The filter may now be cleaned or a new filter installed.
16 | nVent.com/HOFFMAN

Cleaning Instructions:

1. Flush the filter with warm water from the exhaust side to the intake side. DO NOT USE CAUSTICS.

2. After flushing, allow filter to drain. Placing it with a corner down will assure complete drainage.
3. Recoat the filters with RP Super Filter Coat adhesive. When spraying filter do so from both sides for maximum concentration of adhesive.
CONDENSER AND EVAPORATOR AIR MOVERS Blower motor requires no maintenance. All bearings, shafts, etc. are lubricated for the life of the motor during manufacturing. If one of the condenser impeller motors (ambient impellers) should fail, it is not necessary to remove the air conditioner from the cabinet or enclosure to replace the blower. The condenser blower is mounted on its own bulkhead and is easily accessible by removing the front cover.
CAUTION:
Operation of the air conditioner in areas containing airborne caustics or chemicals can rapidly deteriorate filters, condenser coils, blowers and motors, etc. Contact nVent Equipment Protection for special recommendations.
REFRIGERANT LOSS
Each air conditioner is thoroughly tested prior to leaving the factory to insure against refrigeration leaks. Shipping damage or microscopic leaks not found with sensitive electronic refrigerant leak detection equipment during manufacture may require repair or recharging of the system. This work should only be performed by qualified professionals, generally available through a local, reputable air conditioning repair or service company. Refer to the data on the nameplate which specifies the type of refrigerant and the charge size in ounces. Before recharging, make sure there are no leaks and that the system has been properly evacuated into a deep vacuum.
