6.2 Air conditioner
6.2.1 Air conditioner settings
The air conditioner is pre-programmed with default settings at the factory. Refer to the air conditioner manual if
you need to adjust these settings.
6.2.2 Air conditioner filter
Air conditioners often fail due to lack of maintenance, specifically dirty filters. Implement a structured filter
inspection/maintenance schedule to avoid unnecessary air conditioner failures.
6.2.3 High temperature alarms and air conditioner failures
The air conditioner is not always thoroughly tested at the factory. If the air conditioner fails to switch on when it
should, refer to the air conditioner manual and check the temperature settings.
If the air conditioner appears to be working properly but the “Hi-Temp” alarm is on, check that the enclosure's Hi-
Temp alarm thermostat is correctly set.
