SECTION B: GVS FLYPACK COOLING CONCEPT
GVS Flypack Cooling adjusts the temperature and humidity in the Flypacks. Its
flexibility makes it easy to use for different applications and in various environments.
This unit is designed for use in covered indoor or outdoor conditions. This Cooling unit
allows operators to control the 4 factors that determine optimal operation of equipment in
GVS Flypacks:

1. Humidity Rate: The humidity in a Flypack can increase as the heat rises in the
summer. Your GVS Flypack Cooling not only cools down the temperature but
also dehumidifies the air as well. But the rate at which the unit will dehumidify
the Flypack depends on how much humidity is in the air.

2. Temperature: the main function of a GVS Flypack Cooling is to draw hot air out
of the Flypack.

3. Air Filtration: The air filter removes dust particles from the Flypack air, creating a
clean room atmosphere.

4. Airflow: The Flypack Cooling regulates the airflow and can focus the airflow in
specific directions, ensuring optimal air circulation.

SECTION C: GVS FLYPACK COOLING IMPORTANT
INSTRUCTIONS

Do not install and use your GVS Flypack Cooling before completely reading these
instructions. This will help you optimize the operation of your GVS Flypack Cooling.
The following advice and instructions should be followed closely:

1. Cooling unit must always be used in an upright position because it contains a
cooling agent.

2. After unpacking, make sure the unit is sitting upright to allow the cooling agent to
stabilize, and wait 3 hours before use.

3. Do not use the unit when the ambient humidity level is above 95% and the
ambient temperature is below 61ºF (16ºC) or above 113ºF (45ºC).

4. Use the wheel locks to insure that the unit will not roll away from the area it was
placed in. Unlock the wheels when you wish to move the unit.

5. When used for the first time, and every time it is turned on, the unit takes up to 3
minutes to be operational.

SECTION D: GVS FLYPACK COOLING ENERGY
SAVING TIPS

Use following tips to maximize GVS Flypack Cooling efficiency:
1. Blocking the filter reduces the efficiency of the air conditioner and increases its
power consumption by up to 6%.

2. Avoid opening doors frequently.
3. Each person present in a room provides between 100 Watts and 150 Watts of
heat. Consequently, the more people there are in a room, the less effective the unit
will be in cooling the equipment.

4. To ensure the optimal efficiency of the unit, we advise to keep doors and
windows closed, and to take into account the surface of the walls and windows
exposed to the sun. In order to optimize the functioning of GVS Flypack Cooling,
we recommend partially closing window coverings.

SECTION E: GVS FLYPACK COOLING SAFETY POWER
CORD

GVS Flypack Cooling unit is provided with a Leakage Current Detection and Interruption
circuit (LCDI) built into the plug of the power supply cord. This device provides
protection to reduce the risk of fire due to arcing faults in the power cord. Each time you
use the Cooling unit, follow the "Plug Testing Instructions" given below to ensure that
the LCDI circuit is functioning properly.

PLUG TESTING INSTRUCTIONS:

Figure 1: Power Reset and Test Buttons.
1. PRESS TEST BUTTON. UNIT SHOULD TURN OFF.
2. FIRMLY PRESS RESET BUTTON BEFORE USE.

DO NOT USE THE COOLING UNIT IF ABOVE TEST FAILS.
The conductors inside this power cord are surrounded by shields that monitor the leakage
current. These shields are not grounded. Periodically examine the cord for any damage.
If the shield is exposed, immediately unplug the power cord and do not use the unit. Do
not repair a damaged cord. Replace the damaged cord only with a new replacement
power cord obtained from GVS.

In the event the LCDI plug of the power supply cord activates by itself, first examine the
cord for any damage. If there is no damage to the cord then press the RESET button. If
the LCDI plug activates again, immediately unplug the power cord. Replace the damaged
cord with a new replacement power cord.

Do not use the TEST and RESET buttons as an ON / OFF switch. They are meant only
to be used to periodically check the LCDI plug.

3. The water will drip automatically into the water tank while the unit is running. If
the water tank becomes full, the compressor will shut off and the indicator light
just above the rotary switch will turn RED, but the fan will continue to operate.
To drain the unit, turn the unit off by turning the rotary switch counter-clockwise
to the off position. On the top of the water tank there is a hole that the water drips
into. When the water tank is full, pull out the water tank and pour the water down
a drain. When draining is complete, place the water tank back into its
compartment. (Please make sure that the water tank is inserted completely into the
compartment so that the sensor will see that the water tank is in place). The unit
can now be operated normally.

Figure 13: Condensation Water tank.
4. CONTINUOUS DRAINAGE OPTION: For continuous drainage, remove the
water tank and attach a 5 ft or longer water hose (optional) onto the drain tube on
the top right of the water tank compartment and place the other end of the drain
tube down a drain on the floor away from the GVS Cooling units.

5. FROST PREVENTION: While the Flypack Cooling unit is running you will
occasionally notice that frost will appear on the evaporator behind the air filter.
This is a normal function as the unit is dehumidifying the air in the Flypack by
freezing the moisture onto the evaporator. The green LED light will begin to
flash, then the compressor will shut down for a short period to allow the frost to
melt down into the water tank, then the fan will continue to operate during this
process. The compressor is an essential component of the Cooling unit for
producing cold air. The Flypack Cooling is fitted with an Overload Protection
function that shuts the compressor down for 3 minutes to prevent it from being
overloaded. During this time the frost prevention function goes into effect. In
order to protect the compressor from overheating or freezing, the compressor will
only operate when the room temperature is between 61°-113°F (16°-45°C).
NOTE: There is a sensor near the evaporator so that when the evaporator
temperature goes below 23°F (-5°C), the compressor will shut off automatically.
When the temperature reaches 32°F (0°C), the compressor will turn back on.
