1. ZEN 34 The number of litres passing through the air conditioning unit must be at least 10 litres per minute Moreover sea water with a temperature of maximum 35 C is required The AirWhisper will not be able to lose the extra heat and will turn itself off if the sea water is warmer than this temperature Particulars for assembly in the engine room install an air intake hose connector of the room to be cooled to the engine room 3 4 Condensation drainage Condensation in the equipment will form during cooling and this must be drained off into the bilge Make sure the passage has an opening of at least 400 cm2 before placing an extra grill in front of the intake Do not use any filter material screw thread outside dimension condensation drainage is 14mm 6 Manual p victron energie y 3 5 Connecting to the power supply 12 Volt 1x 10mm battery 1x 10mm battery 1x1 5 mm battery Connect the measuring cable 1 5 mm directly to the plus terminal of the or thicker vum 24 Volt 1x10mm battery 1x 10 mm battery 1x 1 5 mm battery 100 Ah ENG For connecting the WhisperAir to the battery see section 3 7 thicker cable too thin The correct connection of the measuring cables is very important If they are incorrectly connected the battery guard will activate too early and the WhisperAir will switch itself off Ny victron energie Manual2. activated this is automatically reset when the battery charge is higher than 12 6 Volts For 24 Volt this is 25 2 Volts When you remove the hood you should see two red illuminated LEDs on the printed circuit board in the air conditioning unit 5 3 The WhisperAir continually turns itself on and off e The battery is flat You are probably using a battery charger that is too small Turn the air conditioning unit off for a few hours so that the battery can be recharged The cables between the battery and the WhisperAir are too thin The red LEDs in the air conditioning unit also continually go on and off 5 4 The WhisperAir does not cool even though the ventilator is running e The safety fuses for the electric motor are broken 40A 12V 20A 24V Extra fuses can be found next to the printed circuit board e The motor has overheated because there is too little cooling water It will turn itself on again after approximately two hours e Too little freon cooling agent The difference in temperature between the air at the intake grill taken from the room and the cooled air that is returned to the room must be approximately 15 C when the ventilator is set at high When it is less than this consult your supplier A professional air conditioning mechanic can easily top up the system Attention e The above mentioned values are indicative and depend strongly on the personal desires requirements of the boat owner e These values can be ha
