Information about the device

Device description

The device serves the purpose of cooling the room air. It further filters and dehumidifies the air, thus creating an agreeable room climate. Additionally, the device PAC 3500 SH can be used as a heater.

The unit cools the room air by withdrawing warmth. The absorbed warmth is emitted to the outside via the exhaust air hose; cooled air is fed to the installation site by means of a fan.

Accumulating condensate drips from the evaporator onto the hot condenser, where it evaporates and then is transported to the outside via the exhaust air hose.

In ventilation mode, the device provides the opportunity for air circulation without cooling effect.

In dehumidification mode, moisture is withdrawn from the air. In heating mode (PAC 3500 SH), the room air is warmed up.

The device operates fully automatically and features a variety of further options. The device can, for instance, be switched on or off automatically with time delay via the timer function.

Operation of the device is possible either via the control panel on the device or via the supplied infrared remote control.

The device was designed for universal and flexible application.

Due to its compact dimensions, it can be easily transported and used in all interior spaces.

Activities required before starting maintenance

Warning of electrical voltage

Do not touch the mains plug with wet or damp hands.

- Switch the device off.

- Hold onto the mains plug while pulling the power cable out of the mains socket.

Warning of electrical voltage

Tasks which require the housing to be opened must only be carried out by authorised specialist companies or by Trotec.

Refrigerant circuit

Danger

Natural refrigerant propane (R290)!

H220 – Extremely flammable gas.

H280 – Contains gas under pressure; may explode if heated.

P210 – Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames and other ignition sources. No smoking.

P377 – Leaking gas fire: Do not extinguish, unless leak can be stopped safely.

P410+P403 – Protect from sunlight. Store in a well-ventilated place.

- The entire refrigerant circuit is a maintenance-free, hermetically sealed system and may only be maintained or repaired by specialist companies for cooling and air-conditioning or by Trotec.

Safety signs and labels on the device

Check the safety signs and labels attached to the device at regular intervals. Replace illegible safety signs!

Cleaning the housing

Clean the housing with a soft, damp and lint-free cloth. Ensure that no moisture enters the housing. Protect electrical components from moisture. Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents such as cleaning sprays, solvents, alcohol-based or abrasive cleaners to dampen the cloth.

Visual inspection of the inside of the device for dirt

1. Remove the air filter.
2. Use a torch to illuminate the openings of the device.
3. Check the inside of the device for dirt.
4. If you see a thick layer of dust, have the inside of the device cleaned by a specialist company for cooling and air-conditioning or by Trotec.
5. Put the air filter back in.

Cleaning the air filter

The air filter has to be cleaned as soon as it is dirty. This is brought to light e.g. by a reduced capacity (see chapter Errors and faults).

Warning

Ensure that the air filter is not worn or damaged. The corners and edges of the air filter must not be deformed or rounded. Before reinserting the air filter, make sure that it is undamaged and dry!

1. Remove the air filter from the device.

1. Clean the filter using a slightly damp, soft, lint-free cloth. If the filter is heavily contaminated, clean it with warm water mixed with a neutral cleaning agent.
2. Allow the filter to dry completely. Do not insert a wet filter into the device!
3. Reinsert the air filter into the device.

Condensate discharge (manual draining)

In cooling, heating and dehumidification mode condensate is formed, which is mostly discharged via the exhaust air.

The remaining condensate is collected in a container within the housing. The condensate ought to be drained regularly.

If too much condensate accumulates, the device switches off and indicates this via the P1 error code on the segment display (16).

1. Carefully transport or wheel the device to a suitable location for discharging the condensate (e.g., a drain) or position a suitable collection container under the condensate outlet.

1. Drain the condensate.

⇒ The P1 error code on the segment display (16) will disappear as soon as the condensate has been drained.

Activities required after maintenance

If you want to continue using the device:

- Leave the device to rest for at least 12 hours, so the refrigerant can accumulate within the compressor. Wait 12 hours before switching the device back on! Acting contrary might lead to compressor damage and a malfunctioning device. If so, any warranty claims will be voided.

- Reconnect the device to the mains.

If you do not intend to use the device for a considerable time:

- Store the device according to the Storage chapter.
