COOLIT2000 Series FAQ'S
How loud is the COOLIT2000
Series?
The COOLIT2000 Series are designed for indoor applications and we use
advanced compressor technology to further reduce mechanical noise. The blowers or fans are
all centrifugal type and reduce the air noise of the unit. The dB rating for this unit
varies because of the installation methods but is typically less than 52 dB.

Does the unit make water? What
happens with the condensate?
Yes, the COOLIT2000 Series is a true air conditioner and some moisture is removed
from the air which results in condensate. The condensate collects in the
two condensate tanks
located behind the bottom of the front door. When the tanks fill up, the
control panel will display a yellow light to let you know
that the tanks are full. If the tanks are not emptied
within a short time (the time period just depends on how
humid the room/application is) then the control panel will
display a red light which will result in the shut down of
the unit. This prevents condensate overflow. To
clear the yellow/red lights the two condensate tanks must be
emptied and put back into the unit correctly.

How often will I need to empty the
tanks?
Condensate generation is based on various temperature and humidity levels
as well as user installation and control settings. In the warm, humid summer months the
amount of condensate generated will be greater than in the cool, dry winter months.
Maximum condensate generation is .5 gallons per hour.

How large is the condensate
tanks?
The internal condensate tanks hold approximately
2.5 gallons each which totals five gallons. When the tanks
fill up, the control panel will display a yellow light to
let you know that the tanks are full. If the tanks are
not emptied within a short time (the time period just
depends on how humid the room/application is) then the
control panel will display a red light which will result in
the shut down of the unit. This
prevents condensate overflow. To clear the yellow/red
lights the two condensate tanks must be emptied and put back
into the unit correctly.

What if I need to run my
COOLIT 24/7?
The COOLIT2000 Series has an built-in internal condensate pump that can be
field installed to allow continuous uninterrupted cooling. The pump has a 15’ lift
capability which will get you up to the drop ceiling level and allow for connection to a
drain line.
TOP OF PAGE
How long can the condensate line be?
The COOLIT2000 Series has a condensate pump
built-in that comes with 25' of
3/8" plastic tubing. You may require more tubing than what is supplied with the
pump. You can either attach the new section of tubing to the supplied tubing with a
coupler or purchase a new section of tubing to fit the required length of your condensate
drain line. You can go as far with the tubing as long as you keep the tubing sloping
down at an angle. Again if you need to go a long distance to your drain then we
recommend that you go up as much as you can (up to 15') then go towards your drain with
the tubing sloping down at an angle.
TOP OF PAGE
Do I need to vent the unit to the outside?
No, you do not need to vent the COOLIT2000
Series to the outside. If you are
cooling an enclosed equipment environment you do need to discharge the condenser air (warm
air) out of the space you are trying to cool. The air discharge kit, included with
each COOLIT2600 unit, will allow for condenser air discharge into the ceiling plenum
area.
TOP OF PAGE
How far can I duct the unit?
The air discharge kit that comes with the
COOLIT2000 Series has enough flexible duct to
reach the ceiling of a standard commercial building. You can add
more duct but you must keep your duct run as straight as possible. The maximum duct run for
the condenser air is 25’. For each 90 degree bend you must subtract 10’ from
your maximum duct run length.
TOP OF PAGE
What kind of maintenance is required?
Unit maintenance is quick and easy. The
COOLIT2000 Series has a totally sealed
refrigeration system. It should not be necessary to recharge your unit. The only regular
preventative maintenance is cleaning the washable filter. If you
are using the built-in condensate pump then you will need to keep the drain line clear.

What do I need to do if I am going to store the
unit?
Before storing the unit you want to ensure the evaporator coil is dry and
the condensate is emptied from the tanks and pump. To do
this you
would operate the COOLIT2000 Series in the fan mode for about 5 minutes to dry out the evaporator
coil and get all the moisture off of the coil. Turn the unit off, empty the condensate
tanks, and empty the condensate pump. Next wipe down the cabinet with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Your
COOLIT unit will
be in prime shape when your next cooling need arises.

COOLIT2000 Series Application FAQ'S
How large of an area can I cool with the
COOLIT2000 Series?
That depends on what is in the area you are trying to cool. All air
conditioning units are rated in BTU, or British Thermal Unit, which is a unit of measure.
There are 12,000 BTU to 1 ton of air conditioning. For equipment cooling we need to
determine the amount of power being used by the equipment in the room so we can do a basic
heat load calculation.
TOP OF PAGE
How cold can I get my LAN room?
There is no way to tell. The COOLIT2000 Series will give you approximately a
20°F temperature differential – for instance, if your room is 80°F, the unit will
deliver approximately 60°F air. This does not mean that your room will be 60°F. . . that
all depends on the heat load in the room.
TOP OF PAGE
Can I put the COOLIT2000
Series on my UPS?
Absolutely, as long as the UPS is properly sized.
TOP OF PAGE
Can I plug into an extension cord?
We do not recommend that you operate the COOLIT2000
Series using an extension
cord.
TOP OF PAGE
Do I need a dedicated circuit to run the
COOLIT2000 Series?
The COOLIT2000 Series is a mechanical device and could potentially put noise onto
the line when the compressor starts and stops. A dedicated line is not required but would
certainly be recommended if your computer and electronic equipment is not protected by a
UPS or surge suppresser.
TOP OF PAGE
What other accessory items do I need for my
application?
The COOLIT2000 Series comes complete with the
air discharge kit which contains everything you need to duct
out the condenser air. The standard ducting kit allows you to duct the warm air into the drop
ceiling area, a return air duct or through a wall.
TOP OF PAGE
Who can I get to install my
COOLIT2000 Series?
The COOLIT2000 Seris is designed for quick set-up. IF YOU CAN UNPACK THE
BOX, YOU CAN SET UP THE UNIT. Installation requires no tools; accessory parts simply
slide in place or snap together. If you elect to use the optional
built-in condensate pump you may
require the services of a handyman or plumber, depending on the location of your
condensate drain line.
