FAULT
POSSIBLE REASON
CORRECTION
Manual
controller is not
lit.
4-pin display cable plugs are not making
contact (unplugged, dirty, bent, or broken
pins).
With POWER OFF at the circuit breaker, remove
connector and inspect. If damaged, replace connector
or entire display cable.
System runs
continuously
Set point temperature is improperly set:
too low for cooling or too high for
heating.
Raise or lower set point.
Porthole or hatches open.
Close all port holes and hatches,
Seawater temperature too high for
cooling or too low for heating.
Seawater temperature will directly affect the A/C
unit's efficiency. This A/C unit can effectively cool your
boat in water temperatures up to 90°F and heat (if
reverse cycle option is installed) in water as low as
400F.
Improper air sensor location.
Check your specific control troubleshooting section,
8 Maintenance
8.1 Reversing Valves
Reverse cycle units have a reversing valve; the valve must be energized periodically to keep the internal parts moving
freely. To do this, switch the A/C unit into heat mode for a minimum of 30 seconds once a month.
8.2 Seawater Strainer
Ensure that your pump receives adequate seawater flow by regularly cleaning the strainer basket. Periodically check the
overboard discharge for a steady stream of water. Check seawater intake speed scoop for obstructions. Make sure
hoses are not looped, kinked or crushed.
8.3 Blowers
Oil blowers every six months with SAE20 or equivalent. This does not apply to high velocity blowers with the motor
encased in the blower housing.
8.4 Condenser Coil Cleaning
1
)
With the system turned off at the circuit breaker on the ship's panel, disconnect the inlet and outlet
connections of the condenser coil.
2
)
Use chemical resistant hoses (PVC 3/4" I.D., etc.) to connect the inlet of the condenser coil to the outlet of a
chemical resistant, submersible pump and let the hose connected to the Coil outlet flow freely into the
container mentioned below.
3
)
Place a strainer or piece of screen over the inlet of the pump and submerse the pump into a container filled
with a 5% solution of muriatic or hydrochloric acid and fresh water or use a premixed over-the-counter solution.
Use a large container as possible to hold the solution (5-25 gallons). CAUTION: avoid spilling or splashing the
solution. Remember to wear all necessary protective gear, i.e. approved safety goggles and chemical resistant
gloves. Follow all warnings and recommendations given by the manufacturer of any acids or premixed
solutions.
