General
Congratulations on your new explosion-safe AR-053 rooftop air conditioner. If you follow the
instructions in this user manual, your new air conditioner will give you years of enjoyment.
The rooftop air conditioning system consists of a combined outdoor unit and indoor unit with
fixed control panel. In function the system refrigerates air. The air conditioning system
provides a continuous flow of cold fluid which decreases the temperature of the heat
exchanger, which in its turn absorbs the energy of the air, resulting in a room air temperature
decrease. The control panel enables the user to operate the unit.
The part of the air conditioning system situated on the outside consists of a sheet steel
enclosure and contains a heat exchanger, a hermetically sealed compressor and a pressure
regulated expansion valve for controlling the refrigerant. The sheet steel enclosure and non-
metallic cover are partly part of the protection degree against ignition applied.
The electronically driven fans provide air flow on both sides of the system. The printed circuit
board (PCB) controls all components on both sides of the system.
The control panel is mounted against the ceiling on the inside of the room. It contains the
thermostat and a switch to control the fan speed. The circuits to the thermostat and the fan
control are intrinsically safe.
The ambient temperature allowed for the apparatus is -20 °C to +60 °C. The operational
temperature of the rooftop air conditioner is +7 °C to +52 °C.
