5.3 230 VAC /50 hz Wiring Diagram
The 230 VAC /50 hz PolarCool models are supplied with a stubbed power cord which must be wired to the specific
plug necessary to match local, state, and national electrical receptacles.
WARNING
• Whenever water and electricity are combined in the same enclosed environment the
possibility of electric shock exists. This unit must only be plugged into a three conductor,
grounded GFI (Ground Fault Interrupt), power source. Do not open the unit with power
applied to the unit. Do not place the unit on a slope or where it can accidentally fall or
roll into water.
• Wiring And Connections Must Comply With All National And Local Electrical Codes.
• Installation By Qualified Electrician Required!
5.4 Start-Up
The PolarCool is easy to prepare for operation. There are five easy steps.
1. Hook-up water hose to inlet tap.
NOTE: If desired, an optional customer supplied drain hose and cut-off valve can be attached to the drain pan
outlet beneath the PolarCool.
2. Check safety of electrical cords, and plug in unit. Caution: The system must always be plugged into a three
conductor, grounded GFI (Ground Fault Interrupt), power source.
WARNING: Do not place the unit on a slope or where the unit can accidentally fall or roll into water. The
lockable wheels provide resistance to movement although do not prevent movement or turn-
over.
3. Turn on water and allow time for the reservoir to fill.
IF PADS ARE NEW:
When pads are new, their slick surface will prevent the fast water absorption that will happen with older pads.
For this reason, it is important that the first time new pads are used, to allow the pump to run for two or three
hours. This will "soak-in" the pads, and allow faster start-up later.
After soaking new pads, turn off the pump, fan, and water supply, unplug the unit, and drain the reservoir. The
reservoir can be drained using the Drain Outlet, or for 24, 36, and 48 inch models, the Discharge Valve and
pump can be used to remove water. This eliminates chemical residues that have washed out of the new pads.
NOTE: Do not allow the pump to run without water in the reservoir. Without water, the pump may be
damaged.
Foaming can occur with new pads. If excessive foaming is experienced, repeat the procedure described above
two or three times to flush chemical residues from the pads. Reducing the water flow to the pads may also be
helpful to reduce foaming.
NORMAL OPERATION :
Turn on the pump and let the water run for fifteen to twenty minutes before turning on fan.
4. Turn on fan and enjoy the cool air output.
