INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR HERON 2.2 The Heron 2.2 is suitable for installation in most caravans & motorhomes. Installation in Commercial and Industrial vehicles and equipment should be referred to AIRCOMMAND AUST for assessment of suitability. The Heron System must be installed in accordance with national wiring regulations. The capacity of the airconditioner to adequately cool or heat a van, is dependent on: • The size of the van or vehicle.
INSTALLING THE CONDENSER SET ■ Marking out the floor Use the floor template as provided (or refer to fig. 3). Both, or either end of the con/set may be hard against a wall or panel, but the back of the unit must have sufficient clearance to allow easy access to the line valves (see fig. 4).
PIPE INSTALLATION & CONTROL WIRING The pipe work consists of a 1/4” tube (liquid line), and a 3/8” tube (return gas) running between the Con/set and the A/H. The 3/8” line must be insulated with 10 x 10 mm foam rubber insulation. Connection is made at the side of the Con/set. Pipe work may be run internally to the A/H, or may be run through holes in the floor and run externally to a convenient re-entry point, or the pipes may be built into the wallspace during van construction. NB.
Mark out the A/H cut out as per fig. 7. Ensure the choice of location satisfies the following: A. The Facia panel will be centrally located. B. The right hand edge of the cutout is a minimum of 50 mm from right hand end of the cupboard. This will ensure that when the A/H is installed, a minimum space of 25 mm exists down the side of the A/H, as requested on page 3. C. The left hand side of the A/H must be a minimum of 110 mm from the LHS of the cupboard to allow pipes to be connected. (Refer fig. 8) D.
■ Now Install the Air Handler Insert the A/H into the front panel, and shift to the right as far as possible such that the right hand flange is fully over the front panel. Now insert a screw to hold the A/H in place while the copper tubes are manipulated to line up with the respective nipples. Mark any excess tube to be cut off, and remove the A/H to allow the flare nuts to be put on and the flares made. Unscrew both flare nuts from the nipples of the A/H, ensuring the sealing caps are removed.
POWER SUPPLY The unit is designed to plug into a normal mains electricity supply. This plug must be accessible after installation. If a new plug is installed, then it must be positioned near to the airhandler and be easily accessible. Note: The supply cord is designated Type F. If replacement is necessary it should be replaced by an Aircommand approved technician. Figure I: Prefered flaring tool ratchet/eccentric type ■ Tips on Making Flare Joints 1.
LEAK TESTING It is of the utmost importance that a leak check is made on the 4 flare nut connections. A leak, however small, will result in the aircon system losing capacity and endanger the compressor. 1. Use either soapy water, or a proprietary leak test solution. Paint on each flare nut (particularly the neck) and inspect carefully for any telltale bubbles. Use a torch to improve visibility, particularly in the A/H area. Any leak will generally be remedied by further tightening of the flare nut.
AVOID RESTARTING THE COMPRESSOR WITHIN 3 MINUTES OF TURNING OFF HEATING: (ref fig.16) NB. The unit will not heat if inside temp. is much above 28°C. 1. Turn fan speed selector to (Heating Speed) 2. Turn mode selector to (Heating) 3. Adjust the thermostat to max. clockwise position. There will be approximately 30 seconds delay before heating is apparent. 4. Gradually over time, adjust the thermostat until comfortable conditions are maintained.
