STANDARD FEATURES
CABINET
The CONVERTIBLEAIRE Series heat pump has a cabinet that is constructed of 18
gauge steel with a polyester powder coated finish that will compliment any decor. The
cool blue front compliments any surrounding space, and is insulated with sound-
absorbing insulation for cool, quiet comfort. All units come equipped with handles and
premium swivel casters for portability and convenient set-up.
DELUXE ELECTRONIC CONTROLLER
Each CONVERTIBLEAIRE unit is equipped with deluxe electronic controller. When
power is connected to the unit, the thermostat will control the unit to cool a space to the
desired temperature. The thermostat is also capable of controlling the fan to operate
automatically (when needed) or continuously.
One additional feature of the Deluxe Electronic Control is that it will display a condition
alarm CON. CON displays when a condensate alarm, or a high pressure reset condition
has been met. To protect the compressor from short-cycling, there is a built-in time
delay.
FAN SPEED CONTROL
One of the features of the electronic controller is that the unit supply fan can be con-
trolled automatically or manually. In AUTO mode, the indoor blower will adjust air flows
automatically for added comfort and performance. Or if desired, the controller can be
set to MANUAL fan mode and the indoor blower will run continuously at one of six levels
of fan speed.
CONDENSATE RESERVOIR/PUMP
CONVERTIBLEAIRE units come equipped with a means for handling the condensate
generated during the cooling/heating process. All models except the 5-ton models
come equipped with a Condensate Reservoir Tank, that captures the condensate from
cooling. The tank can then be easily removed from the unit and emptied as required.
The 2OACH60 models come equipped with an Automatic Condensate Pump that dis-
poses of the condensate. The pump comes with a 20 foot long vinyl hose that allows for
the disposal of the condensate water to a drain. The automatic pump is capable of a
20ft lift, to handle almost any installation requirement.
FILTERS
All CONVERTIBLEAIRE units are equipped with washable filters at the air intakes. Elec-
trostatic mesh air filters located behind the evaporator return air grill serve to filter the air
before it is cooled, and behind the condenser return air grill to prevent dust build-up.
Both filters can be easily removed and cleaned.
HIGH PRESSURE SAFETY SWITCH
Located on the back of the CONVERTIBLEAIRE unit is a manual re-set high pressure
switch, used for the protection of the compressor. If the condensing pressure exceeds
the limit setting, the cut-out shuts down the compressor, while the evaporator fan re-
mains running. The display will indicate CON. The compressor can be re-started, once
the condensing pressure has lowered, by depressing the “RESET” button.
POWER CORDS
All CONVERTIBLEAIRE units come with power cords, convenient connection and port-
ability. All units except the 5-ton models, and 3-phase models are equipped with LCDI
for added safety devices.

APPLICATIONS
COOLING MODE—SPOT COOLER
The CONVERTIBLEAIRE can be used in an open environment to cool specific
objects or "spots". Spot Cooling is a convenient and economical way to provide
air conditioning where cooling the entire space is impractical. Cool air is
discharged from the unit and is directed where it is needed. Nozzle kits can be
used to improve direction of the cooling airflow.
AREA COOLER
When the CONVERTIBLEAIRE is installed in an area that is not totally enclosed,
the condenser hot air exhaust duct directs condenser air out of the area, allowing
the evaporator air to cool the specific space.
ROOM AIR CONDITIONER
When ducted, the OceanAire CONVERTIBLEAIRE can be used as a room air
conditioner to cool an enclosed space. Using the condenser return air plenum
(2DCP) and ceiling discharge kit (CK) and ceiling panel kits CK-PL accessories,
the 2OACH can operate as a room air conditioner with the condenser air isolated
form the conditioned space.

compressor rotation, low-voltage and/or loss of power in any one of the power
legs. The monitor is installed in the control box and is equipped with an LED
for diagnosis of an improper electrical condition (see diagrams below). When
power is connected, the compressor WILL NOT power up, until the monitor
start delay has been timed out. If the compressor does not power up, an
electrical condition may need to be addressed. Remove the control box cover
and check the observe the LED on the phase monitor. The LED signals the
following:
GREEN - Proper Operation
RED/GREEN-BLINKING signals reverse phase rotation. Switch any two of the
power leads for the unit, NOT THE MONITOR LEADS, and re-start.
