INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1.0 Introduction
Evaporative Cooling
The principal of your unit is to introduce fresh air, which is washed through the filter pads to
provide cool fresh air. The air is exhausted taking with it any heat loading on the home.
Exhaust
It is essential for successful operation of evaporative air-conditioning that there are sufficient
exhaust openings in the area to be ventilated. Open doors and windows will usually provide
this.
The minimum exhaust opening should be 8ft² for the 4,000 cfm and 10 ft² for the 5,000 cfm
unit.
5½ ft²
16 ft²

2.1 Unit Location Check List
EPA - A correctly installed unit will perform to specification on sound pressure radiated
noise. As an installer, you have a professional obligation to ensure that every practical
and reasonable effort is made to install this product to best practice guidelines and
ensure that any operational noise does not affect neighbours. Complying with EPA /
council by laws for noise abatement is the responsibility of the dealer / installer / owner.
NOTE: Do not mount the unit on a section of roof that slopes towards a
neighbour’s property.
Place the unit well away from sources of smoke, dust and objectionable fumes so that
only clean, fresh outside air will be drawn into the unit. Reference should be made to
relevant electric codes and state plumbing regulations.
Check the proposed location to ensure that building members are structurally capable
of supporting the operating weight of the air conditioner. You may need to consult the
roof truss manufacturer.
The unit must be installed in a position that gives safe access for service. It is the
responsibility of the dealer / installer to ensure safe access to the unit can be obtained
for servicing the product.
Where roof height, pitch or construction will cause OH&S concerns as previously
mentioned, service footing supports / platform and or harness anchorage must be
provided for safe service.
NOTE: The manufacturer and its service providers reserve the right to refuse
service unless safety and accessibility to the unit can be guaranteed.
The providing of any extra equipment required to give access to the unit for servicing or
warranty repairs is the responsibility of the owner.
The unit should face into the customer’s back yard, as low as possible on the roof,
with easy, unobstructed access. Keep the unit away from chimneys, flues and vents
that will pollute the filter pads and the fresh air being drawn into the house.
