compact condensing air-cooled unit 9"x11"x7"

Electronic thermostat included with 2m probe(not shown)

6 foot of conduit from unit to plate

evaporator plate with spacers

insulation and tape included

NOT INCLUDED: Refrigerant ,Wiring and Fuse(quick terminals and crimper required, 10 gauge and a 15 amps for 12v (7.5amps for 24v) fuse for power input, 18 gauge wire for the rest.)

Gas not precharged, Refrigeration knowledge and tools required.
Installation Procedure is similar to a mini-split.
Screw condensing unit in a vented area and Evaporator in icebox with spacers(leave a space between evap and wall)
Route Evaportator piping to condensing unit and tighten flare fittings, Secure with clamps and insulate copper pipe.
Tighthen fittings with 2 wrench, only the nut have to turn. avoid to twist the pipe
Pressure check system for leaks with nitrogen at 50psi (higher will deform evaporator)
Follow wiring schematic to connect compressor, fan and thermostat
Pull vaccum for about down to at least 500 micron (vacuuming time not significant, proper gauge needed)
Fill around 4 oz of R134a refrigerant into the well vacuumed system, Leave Manifold and Refrigerant bottle attached to system to add refrigerant later.
Start compressor, let system run for 5-10 mins , check pressures (Manifold gauges) and temperatures (Infrared thermometer) during that time.
If ,On the Low pressure side, Pressure fall under 0-3 psi when compressor running , add more refrigerant.
Refer to R-134A Temp-pressure chart to make sure you get superheat and subcooling, that will ensure proper refrigerant charge.
Stop compressor, Remove Manifold and Put Back both access valve caps.
