b. General information (To increase comfort and save energy.)
(1) During warm or cold weather. (Air conditioner operation in COOL or HEAT modes.)
l Limit traffic through doors as much as possible.
l Keep doors and windows tightly closed.
l Limit use of fresh (outside) air.
It is normally better to keep
NOTE
the fresh air damper slightly open. This will create a slight
overpressure, provide replacement oxygen, and reduce room odors. Damper should be
closed during extreme weather conditions and during periods when fast warm up or
cooling is necessary.
Fresh air cannot be admitted if the fabric cover is rolled down.
l Do not adjust controls unnecessarily. Properly set the controls (See para 2-8 through 2-11.) and the unit
will automatically control the temperature.
l The Temperature control thermostat on the control panel operates like a conventional room thermostat
except that the temperature scale is not marked on the control panel. The thermostat has a control range
of 40°F to 90°F (5°C to 32°C). The centered position of the control knob would be approximately 65°F
(18°C). The full INCREASE would be 90°F (32°C). The full DECREASE would be 40°F (5°C).

When the control panel is mounted in the unit the control temperature is sensed at the conditioned air inlet.
When the control panel is mounted in a remote location (away from the unit) the temperature is sensed at
that location.

Adjust shades, blinds, etc. (when applicable) to admit sunlight during day. Close them at night.
Adjust the conditioned air outlet dampers slightly downward.
(3) During hot weather
Adjust shades, blinds, etc. (when applicable) to block out sunlight during day.
