Frequently Asked Questions - ARP-900E Royal Sovereign

How do I install the exhaust hose and window spacer?

Feed the outward adapter through the extendable window spacer, screw the exhaust hose into the adapter, then insert the spacer into the window gap and slide the window to secure it. Ensure the hose is straight and not bent to avoid overheating.

What should I do if the 'FULL WATER' indicator lights up?

Turn off the unit and avoid moving it when full. Place the water tray under the drain hole, remove the drain knob and rubber plug, and allow water to drain. Replace the plug and knob tightly before turning the unit back on.

Can I use an extension cord with this air conditioner?

It is not recommended. The manual advises against using extension cords. Plug the unit directly into a properly grounded outlet to ensure safe operation.

How often should I clean the air filter?

Clean the filter regularly for maximum efficiency. Use a vacuum or rinse with water (max 40°C) and dry thoroughly before reinstalling. Never operate the unit without the filter.

The compressor does not run. What could be wrong?

The compressor may be in overheat protection mode. Wait for it to cool down. Also check if the room temperature is below the set temperature, or if the 'FULL WATER' indicator is flashing. If it still doesn't run, reset the plug breaker by pressing the reset buttons.

What is the maximum exhaust hose length?

The hose can be extended from 1 to 5 feet (300 mm to 1500 mm), but for maximum efficiency use the shortest, straightest length possible. Do not exceed 5 feet or replace with a different hose, as this will cause malfunction.

How do I use the timer function?

Press the TIMER button to set the desired operating hours (1 to 12 hours). The display will show the set time. When the timer is set, the unit will turn off automatically after that time. You can also press TIMER without other functions to preset a delayed start.

Can I use the air conditioner in a room without windows?

The unit requires exhaust to the outside. It must be vented through a window or other suitable opening using the provided window spacer and hose. Without proper exhaust, the unit will not cool effectively and may overheat.

What is the difference between Auto mode and Cool mode?

In Auto mode, the unit automatically selects the mode (cool, fan, or heat) based on the ambient temperature. The factory preset temperature is 75°F. In Cool mode, you can manually set the desired temperature using the up/down buttons.

How do I store the unit after the season?

Drain any water, then run the unit in fan mode for a few hours to dry the inside. Clean the filter, unplug and store the power cord as shown, and keep the unit upright in its original carton or covered to protect from dust.

FIG.7

Mounting of the exhaust pipe

• Using only the hose provided, screw unit adapter to exhaust hose then clip the unit adaptor to the back of the air conditioner.
- Avoid kinks and bends in the exhaust hose as this will cause expelled moist air to build up causing the unit to overheat and shut down. (Fig 8 & 9 show correct position).

Regulating air flow direction

Turn the roller on the air vent to control the air flow direction of the vertical louvers. Move the air vent directly to adjust the air flow direction of the horizontal louvers.

FIG.20 FIG.21

DRAINAGE

Although the unit is self evaporating, during high humidity levels excess water may fill the internal water tray. Depending on how high the humidity and the duration of high humidity levels will depend on how often the unit needs to be drained. When the reservoir full :

a. For the mechanical model, the compressor will stop, only the fan will continue to circulate the air. The 'FULL WATER' indicator will light up. b. For the electronic model, both of the compressor and motor will stop. The COMP. indicator light will flash.

To resume the cooling function, empty the water by the following steps:

1. Turn off the air conditioner and avoid moving it when full.
2. Position the water tray underneath the drain hole.
3. Remove the drain knob & rubber plug from the drain hole and allow the water to drain out.
4. When the water tray is almost full, replace the rubber plug in the drain hole and empty the water tray.
5. Repeat until the unit is emptied.
6. Replace the rubber plug and tighten the drain knob firmly.
7. Turn on the unit - the comp light should not be flashing.

FIG.22

If you wish to operate the unit without the need to empty the water tank, please:

• Remove the drain knob and rubber plug and retain for future use.
• Connect the drain tube supplied to the water outlet as shown and locate the other end into a drain.
• The drain tube may be extended by adding an extension tube and using a suitable connector.

Please note

1. The drain must be at or below the outlet level.
2. Flashing comp / 'full water' indicator will not function in this mode of drainage.
3. If you want to extend the water tube, you can connect it with another tube (OD: .7" / 18mm)

Caution for heating function:

While using the heating function, please note:

1. In heat mode the exhaust MUST be exhausted to the outside just as in air conditioning mode. The unit works in reverse of air conditioning mode with the warm air out the front and cold air is exhausted out the back.
2. Fix the drainage to be a continuous one (i.e. drain the water by water tube).
3. Working range for heating function is 41^ F - 80.6°F ( 5^ - 27 °C) and for the cooling function, it is 64^ F - 89°F ( 18^ C - 32°C).
   For temperatures outside of this range, the unit will not work properly.

The air conditioner does not run:	• Is the air conditioner plugged in?• Reset plug breaker by pressing reset buttons until green light is illuminated on plug.• Is there a power failure?• Is the comp / 'full water' indicator flashing?• Is the room temperature below the set temperature?
The machine seems to do little:	• Is there direct light? (Please pull down the curtain.)• Are too many windows or doors open?• Are there too many people in the room?• Is there something in the room producing heat?
The machine seems to do nothing:	• Is the filter dusty or contaminated?• Is the air intake or output blocked up?• Is the room temperature below your selected temperature?
Too noisy:	• Is the machine positioned unevenly Creating Vibration?• Is the floor underneath the machine uneven?
The compressor doesn't run:	• It is possible that the overheat protection of the compressor is on. Just wait for the temperature to drop.

* Never try to repair or dismantle the unit yourself
