c. “Auto”: Fan speed will vary depending on difference between the temperature set-point
and room air temperature. The compressor and the fan will cycle On and Off with ther-
mostat. See “B. Auto Fan” on page (8) for more information.

C. “Furnace” - Furnace Mode

1. There are 3 fan speeds in Furnace Mode.
a. “Low”: Fan operates continuously at low speed.
b. “High”: Fan operates continuously at high speed.
c. “Auto”: Fan is Off.
If additional indoor air circulation provided by the air conditioner is NOT desired during
Furnace Mode of operation, select “Auto” in the Fan Mode to shut the air conditioner
fan off. If “Low” or “High” is selected, the air conditioner fan will continue to operate at
selected speed.

2. In Furnace Mode system will cycle RV furnace On and Off based on room air temperature
and temperature set-point on CT thermostat. CT thermostat can be configured to operate us-
ing an On / Off differential of either 1ºF or 2ºF. This feature is programmed during the system
initialization. See “B. System Initialization” on page (3).

MODE DESCRIPTION
c. “Auto”: Fan speed will vary depending on difference between the temperature set-point
and room air temperature. The compressor and the fan will cycle On and Off with ther-
mostat. Compressor shuts off first followed by fan in approximately 15 seconds. See “B.
Auto Fan” on page (8) for more information.
2. This mode of operation is a customer option usually selected when temperatures are below
70ºF and customer needs warmth in living space rather than cool down. This reverses refrig-
erant flow in the air conditioner, causing warm air to be dispensed inside rather than cold, and
cold air is dispensed outside rather than warm.
3. This mode of operation can cause a dilemma where the outside coil, which is now dispensing
cold air can freeze up due to cold air blowing across the coil mixed with outside temperature. A
system freeze up can render heat pump inoperable. There is a defrost feature that will prevent
this from happening. See “D. Defrost Cycle” on page (9) for more information.

E. “Heat Strip” - Heat Strip Mode (Select Models)

1. In Heat Strip Mode, system will cycle heat strip On and Off based on room air temperature
and temperature set-point on CT thermostat. There are 3 fan speeds in Heat Strip Mode.
a. “Low”: Fan operates continuously at low speed. Heat strip cycles On and Off.
b. “High”: Fan operates continuously at high speed. Heat strip cycles On and Off.
c. “Auto”: Fan operates in low speed and will cycle On and Off with thermostat.

F. “Fan” - Fan Mode

1. There are 3 fan speeds in Fan mode.
a. “Low”: Fan operates continuously at low speed.
b. “High”: Fan operates continuously at high speed.
c. “Auto”: Fan is Off.

SPECIAL FEATURES

A. Capacitive Touch Interface

The capacitive touch interface provides a clean, modern user interface.
Capacitive touch interface requires skin contact to function, therefore it will NOT work
through gloves, bandages, etc...

Moisture, including wet fingers, on the capacitive touch interface can cause sensors to
become unresponsive until the water evaporates.

B. Auto Fan
When auto fan is selected fan speed will vary depending on room temperature and temperature
set-point. In auto fan compressor and fan cycle On and Off with thermostat.
When difference is:
> 5ºF Fan operates on HIGH
< 4ºF Fan operates on LOW

8
SPECIAL FEATURES
C. Compressor Time Delay
A time delay of approximately 2 minutes occurs anytime compressor is required to begin cooling
or heat pump cycle.

D. Defrost Cycle
During heat pump operation, if outside coil begins to freeze up, a defrost cycle is initiated that
temporarily puts heat pump back into air conditioning mode. This reverses the refrigerant flow
and melts ice forming on outside coil. Typically this occurs when outside temperatures are below
42ºF and repeats every 25 minutes of compressor run time. During this cycle the unit will cease to
provide hot air flow temporarily. This is normal and is NOT and indication of malfunction.
Defrost cycling SHALL continue until measured temperature of Outside Sensor is < 30ºF
or > 42ºF.

E. Low Ambient Heat Pump Lock Out

All heat pumps are constrained to operation at a temperature range determined by outside condi-
tions. Since all heat pumps lose efficiency at low outside ambient temperatures, the heat pump
has a lock out feature that prevents heat pump mode of operation when temperatures fall below
30ºF. If system is set in Auto Mode fan will be turned OFF. Fan will remain ON if fan setting is set
to Low or High, however compressor will not run and there will be no heat function below 30ºF.

F. Power Interruption
In the event power to air conditioner or control is interrupted, system will restart with previous set-
points once power is restored.

G. LCD Error Code

When system determines one of the faults listed has occurred, an error code will be displayed
on LCD.

Error Code:
E1 Loss of communication between CT thermostat and module board. LCD will cycle be-
tween E1 and previous mode setting. System will shut down.
E2 Open circuit or out of range Indoor Temperature Sensor. Heating and cooling operation
will be locked out. Fan operation can continue to operate.
E3 Shorted Indoor Temperature Sensor. Heating and cooling operation will be locked out.
Fan operation can continue to operate.
E4 Open circuit or out of range Outdoor Temperature Sensor (select models). Heat Pump
operation will be locked out. Air Conditioner, Fan, and Furnace operation can continue to
operate.
E5 Open Circuit or out of range Freeze Sensor. Air Conditioner mode of operation will be
locked out, but displays the last temperature set-point.

GENERAL INFORMATION
A. Frost Formation On Cooling Coil
1. Frost on a small portion of the coil is not unusual. Under certain conditions, ice may form on
the evaporator coil. This is indicated by very cold output at very low air speed and the icing
can be seen through the air inlet hole with the filter removed. If this should occur, inspect the
filter and clean if dirty. Make sure air vents are open and not obstructed. Units have a greater
tendency to frost when the outside temperature is relatively low. This may be prevented by
adjusting the thermostat set-point to a warmer temperature. Should frosting continue, operate
on any FAN ONLY setting until the cooling coil is free of frost; then resume normal operation.
If frost condition persist, contact your local service center for assistance.

B. Heat Gain
The ability of this air conditioner to maintain the desired inside temperature depends on the heat gain of the RV.

Some preventative measures taken by the occupants of the RV can reduce the heat gain and improve the
performance of the air conditioner. During extremely high outdoor temperatures, the heat gain of the RV
may be reduced by:
1. Parking the RV in a shaded area
2. Using window shades (blinds and/or curtains)
3. Keeping windows and doors shut or minimizing usage
4. Avoiding the use of heat producing appliances
Operation on High Fan/Cooling mode will give optimum or maximum efficiency in high humidity or high
outside temperatures.
Starting the air conditioner early in the morning and giving it a “head start” on the expected high outdoor
ambient will greatly improve its ability to maintain the desired indoor temperature.
For a more permanent solution to high heat gain, accessories like Dometic outdoor patio and window aw-
nings will reduce heat gain by removing the direct sun. They also add a nice area to enjoy company during
the cool of the evening.

C. Condensation
The manufacturer of this unit will not be responsible for damage caused by condensation forming on ceilings,
windows, or other surfaces. Air contains water vapor which condenses when temperature of a surface is
below Dew point. During normal operation this unit is designed to remove a certain amount of moisture from
the air, depending on the size of the space being conditioned. Keeping doors and windows closed when this
air conditioner is in operation will greatly reduce the chance of condensation forming on interior surfaces.

MAINTENANCE
A. Air Filter
1. Periodically (a minimum of every 2 weeks of operation) remove the return air filter located be-
hind the return air vent grille and wash it with soap and warm water, let dry and then reinstall.
NEVER run unit without return air filter in place. This will plug the unit evaporator
coil with dirt and may substantially degrade the performance of the unit over time.

B. CT Thermostat
1. Clean CT thermostat with a dry soft cloth.

Do NOT spray water directly on CT thermostat. Do NOT use solvents for cleaning.

If a moist soft cloth is needed to clean the CT thermostat surface, the sensors
may become unresponsive. If this happens, it will be necessary to allow the water
enough time to evaporate for sensors to regain responsiveness.

SERVICE - UNIT DOES NOT OPERATE

If your unit fails to operate or operates improperly, check the following before calling your service center.
●● If RV connected to motor generator, check to be sure motor generator is running and pro-
ducing power.
●● If RV connected to power supply by a land line, check to be sure line is sized properly to run
unit load and it is plugged into power supply.
●● Check your fuse or circuit breaker to see if it is open. Insure fuse is not burnt, or circuit
breaker is “ON” and not activated.
●● After the above checks, call your local service center for further help. This unit must be
serviced by qualified service personnel only.
When calling for service, always give the following:
●● Unit model and serial number found on the identification label located on base pan of unit
bottom. Return air vent grille must be removed from ADB to view.
●● ADB model and serial number found on rating plate located on ceiling template. Observe
this rating plate through the filter opening.
