Frequently Asked Questions - PAC 2600 S TROTEC

How to install the PAC 2600 S air conditioner?

Place the unit near a window or door to exhaust hot air through the provided hose. Ensure the exhaust hose is not bent and the outlet is clear. Plug the unit into a 230 V socket.

How to drain condensation water?

The PAC 2600 S has a built-in water tank. When full, an indicator light turns on and the unit stops. You can empty the tank manually or use the continuous drain hose (optional).

How often to clean the air filter?

It is recommended to clean the air filter every two weeks during use. Remove the filter, wash it with warm soapy water, dry it completely before putting it back.

Is the air conditioner noisy?

The noise level is about 62 dB(A), which is equivalent to normal conversation. To reduce noise at night, use the silent mode if available.

The remote control does not work, what should I do?

Check the remote control batteries (replace if necessary) and ensure no obstacles block the signal between the remote and the receiver on the unit.

How to use the dehumidification mode?

Press the Mode button until the water drop symbol is selected. The unit will then operate at reduced speed to extract moisture. Empty the tank regularly.

How to set the timer?

Press the Timer button to set a delayed shutdown (1 to 24 hours). You can also set a delayed start if the unit is off.

The unit shuts off by itself, is that normal?

Yes, the PAC 2600 S has an automatic shut-off when the water tank is full or when the room temperature reaches the set point. Also check that the exhaust hose is not blocked.

Can I use the air conditioner without an exhaust hose?

No, the exhaust hose is essential to expel hot air outside. Without it, the unit will not cool effectively and could overheat.

Where to find spare parts for the PAC 2600 S?

Spare parts (air filter, remote control, exhaust hose) are available from Trotec customer service or authorized dealers. Refer to the manual for part numbers.

Changing the battery

- Placing the batteries in the battery compartment.

2. Close the battery compartment.

NOTE:

1. The positive pole and the negative pole of the battery must be aligned with the “+” and “−” signs on the remote control.
2. Do not use new batteries together with old ones.
3. Remove the batteries from the battery compartment when you are planning on not using your unit over a longer period of time.
4. Please make sure that you dispose of your old batteries in a safe and proper manner. By doing so you are providing a valuable contribution towards protecting and saving the environment.

Using the Remote Control

Point the remote control at the unit's signal receiver to operate the unit. When used correctly, the remote control will send signals to the unit over a distance of 7 metres (23 feet).

Overload Protection

Operating Status

The unit powers off automatically when the automatic overload protection is activated in the following cases:

Cooling The room temperature is over 43°C (109°F)The room temperature is lower than 15°C (59°F)

Dehumidifying The room temperature is lower than 15°C (59°F)

When the air conditioner runs in cooling or drying mode over a longer period when a window is open and the relative humidity is more than 80%, condensation can form at the outlet.

Operation of the overload protection

In the following cases the overload protection was activated:

1. At a restart when the appliance was switched off before or the mode was changed while it operated. Here you have to wait 3 minutes.
2. When the unit is unplugged, the unit returns to the original mode. The Timer has to be reset.

Condensation Water

There is a closed circuit on the inside of the unit which treats the condensation water that forms when the unit is in operation. The condensation water is partially treated in the machine. When the condensation level falls below the mark, the pump stops working. When the water level reaches the mark, this triggers the float (1) and the pump starts to work again. When the water continues to rise and reaches the upper mark, the float (2) is triggered and the water collector indicator shows the water collector is full and needs to be emptied. Power off and then unplug the unit. Place the unit somewhere where the water can run off without being impeded and pull out the rubber stops to drain off the condensation water. Don't forget to replace the rubber stoppers, as the water could otherwise run out of the unit and cause potentially a great deal of water damage.

You may also wish to attach a hose to the drain outlet and allow the water to run off into a drain or sump.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Cleaning the Unit

1. Unplug the unit
2. Clean the unit with a dry, soft cloth. Clean the unit with lukewarm water (not warmer than 40°C (104°F)) if the unit is soiled or dirty.

⚠ Do not use benzene or similar cleaning agents to clean the unit!

Make sure that the unit does not come into contact with water. There is the risk of electrocution!

Cleaning the Filter

The air filter has to be cleaned approx. every 100 operating hours.

Clean the air filter as follows:

1. First switch off the appliance and then release the filter.

1. Clean the air filter and put it back in again. If the air filter is heavily contaminated with dust and dirt, then use a gentle cleaning agent and lukewarm water to clean. Leave the filter to dry in a cool place, out of the sun, and replace it again when dry.

The air filter has to be cleaned every 2 weeks at the latest when the unit is used in environments with high levels of dust.

Proper Storage of Your Unit

1. If you are not planning on using your unit over a longer period, then remove the rubber stoppers from the primary and secondary water outlets (see Description of Unit) to allow any water which may still be inside the unit to drain off properly.
2. Switch on the unit and leave to run for approx. 12 hours on a warm, sunny day. This prevents mould from forming on the inside.
3. Switch off the unit and pull out the plug. Remove the batteries from the battery compartment and store the unit in a safe and dry place.
4. Clean the air filter and place it back into the unit.
5. Disconnect the hose and close the hole.

Troubleshooting

If you think that your unit is not working properly, you may find that the problem you are having is not necessarily a fault and does therefore not need to be repaired by a specialist. Please consult the table below before you contact a specialist in order to see if a solution to your problem can be found first.

Possible Fault Possible Solution
The unit is not running.	The overload protection has been activated or the fuse has melted.
	Wait 3 minutes to see if the overload protection has been activated.
	The batteries in the remote control are exhausted and need to be replaced.

	The air outlet is blocked. Remove the obstruction.
The unit is running but not cooling.	A door or window is open.
	Another appliance, e.g. a strong lamp or a heater is producing heat at the same time.
	The air filter is extremely dirty and needs to be cleaned.
	The air intake or outlet is blocked. Remove the obstruction.
	The temperature you have selected is too high.

Water runs out of the unit while it is being moved from one location to another.	Drain off the condensation water first.
	Place the unit on a flat surface to prevent water from running out and causing damage to carpets and flooring.
The unit is not running and the water container full indicator (E4) is on.	Remove the rubber stop-pers from the back of the unit and allow the water to drain off.
	Please contact a qualified technician if this problem occurs repeatedly.
