Marine Air Systems vector compact - Placement of System (Tools Required)

PLACEMENT OF SYSTEM
Selecting a good location for your air conditioner is the most important part of your preparations. Be
sure to consider the size of the area you are cooling, the air distribution needs, and the size of the unit
you have chosen. Keeping in mind that cool air has a tendency to fall, it is highly recommended that
you locate the supply air grille as high as possible in the cabin. See diagram below.

The VECTOR COMPACT unit should be installed as low as possible,
BUT NEVER IN THE BILGE OR ENGINE ROOM AREAS.
INSURE THAT THE SELECTED LOCATION IS SEALED FROM
DIRECT ACCESS TO BILGE AND/OR ENGINE ROOM VAPORS.
Installing the unit as low as possible (such as under a V-berth, dinette seat
or bottom of a locker) and ducting the supply air as high as possible,
creates an ideal air flow condition. This type of installation will prevent
short or premature cycling.
The unit should be positioned on a firm; level surface and the condensate
drain line should run aft and downward from the unit to a suitable drain
location sealed away from any exhaust or bilge vapors. Plan all
connections which must be made prior to starting installation, including
ducting, condensate drain, cooling water in and out, electrical power
connections, location of control panel, and seawater pump placement and
plumbing, to assure easy access for installation and servicing.
