The 8A18Z-2 Evaporative Cooler Control consists of 3 relays and a low voltage transformer with dual voltage primary. The pump relay is automatically operated, which allows the cooler pads to become wet before the fan starts. This will eliminate the fan from blowing dust, warm air, and odor on initial start-up. The fan relay controls the operating of a two-speed fan motor. The thermostat controls operation of the fan without the pump when the thermostat subbase is in the vent position, and controls operation of both fan and pump when the thermostat subbase is in the cool position. |

After mounting and wiring have been completed, set thermostat switch to "OFF" position and fan switch to ""LO" position. Turn thermostat lever to "5" and thermostat to "COOL". Nothing should happen provided the room temperature is below 95°F. Turn the thermostat lever to "1". The pump should start immediately, provided the room temperature is above 55°F. After a time delay of 30 to 120 seconds to allow the cooling pads to become soaked, the fan should start running at low speed. Turn thermostat switch to "HI" position. The fan should now be operating on high speed. Turn thermostat switch to '"VENT" position. The pump should stop immediately. Turn the thermostat switch to "OFF" position. After a delay of 3 to 30 seconds, the fan should stop running. |
