During automatic operation, the control performs a 90 second water 
dump cycle every 8 or 12 hours of pump operation.  This interval can 
be toggled between 8 or 12 hours by simultaneously holding the ‘Cool’ 
and ‘Fan’ buttons for 5 seconds.  The selected interval is displayed for 
a short time.  This action also starts a manual dump cycle.
Ventilation Operation (Fan Mode)
The fan speed is set by the user, the water pump is turned off.
This mode is activated by pressing the ‘Fan’ button.  A green LED 
is illuminated, and the LCD indicates fan speed.  Pressing the ‘Fan’ 
button again deselects this mode.
Pressing the ‘Up’ button selects maximum Fan speed, and ‘Hi’ is 
displayed in the LCD; pressing the ‘Down’ button selects minimum 
Fan speed, and ‘Lo’ is displayed in the LCD.
Time Delay Operation (Timer Mode)
Delayed start or fi nish in ‘Cool’ or ‘Fan’ mode.
The ‘Timer’ button is used to set a delay period of 2, 4 or 8 hours, 
depending on how many times the button is pressed.
If the cooler is operating in ‘Cool’ or ‘Fan’ modes when the ‘Timer’ 
button is pressed, the delay period determines when the cooler will 
switch off.  If the cooler is Off when the ‘Timer’ button is pressed, 
the delay period determines when the cooler switches on.
The starting mode is indicated by a fl ashing LED.  You can change 
this mode by pressing the appropriate button (‘Cool’ or ‘Fan’).
You can cancel the Timer function at any time by pressing the ‘Timer’ 
button until all the timer LED’s go out.
In The Event Of A Power Outage
If the cooler is operating in ‘Cool’ or ‘Fan’ mode when power is 
interrupted, the cooler will resume in the same mode of operation 
when the power is restored.
If the cooler was in any ‘Timer’ mode at the time of a power 
interruption, the cooler will remain off when power is restored.

Thermostat Operation
Automatic Operation (Cool Mode)
The fan and water pump are controlled automatically to achieve the 
desired comfort level.
This mode is activated by pressing the ‘Cool’ button.  A blue LED 
is illuminated, and for a few seconds the LCD will display the 
‘Set’ temperature.  Pressing the ‘Cool’ button again deactivates this 
mode.
The Set temperature (the target temperature for control) may be altered 
by repeatedly pressing or holding the ‘Up’ and ‘Down’ buttons.  The 
LCD will display ‘Set’ rather than ‘Room’ temperature for a short 
time after pressing the ‘Up’ or ‘Down’ button.
On starting, if the pads in the cooler are too dry, the fan may be delayed 
from starting until the pads have absorbed some water.  This is called 
Pre-wet and lasts for 2 minutes, indicated by a fl ashing blue LED.  
Selecting ‘Fan’ and then ‘Cool’ will bypass the pre-wet and cause the 
fan and pump to start immediately.  (If cooling is required).
•  Start cooler.  Install both inspection panels, start pump, and allow 
to operate until pads are wet.
•  Check amperage.  With pads wet and unit started, check amperage 
draw with an amperage meter.
•  Adjust pulley if necessary.  If amperage draw is less than mo-
tor rating, turn off electrical power and 
remove inspection panels.  Unplug mo-
tor inside cooler, this will protect you 
from someone turning on unit while 
you are working inside.  This should be 
done for your safety.  Adjust pulley to a 
larger diameter and readjust belt tension, 
plug motor in, install  inspection panels, 
and retest amperage draw.  Repeat this  
process until correct amperage draw is attained.  Increasing motor 
pulley diameter increases amperage draw.  Decreasing motor pulley 
diameter decreases amperage draw (see Fig. 6).
CAUTION:
  Do not operate cooler with larger amperage draw 
than specifi ed on motor plate.
