Hello and congratulations on
purchasing a Breezair Ducted
Cooler for your home.
Breezair coolers have been
designed to provide quiet,
reliable and cool comfort.
At Seeley International we
manufacture Breezair
evaporative coolers from the
highest quality materials, and
we have designed the product
to provide many years of
economical, trouble free
cooling.
Please take a few moments to
read these operating
instructions, so that the most
can be gained from this
investment.
Breezair coolers are fitted
with either a Wall Mounted
Thermostat Control or a
Remote Thermostat Control.
Please refer to the relevant
section in this manual for
instructions on how to operate
either system. Also, please be
aware of the components and
features that are fitted to your
particular cooler.
Keep these instructions in a
safe place for future reference.
EFFECTIVE COOLING
To provide efficient cooling or
ventilation the building must
have sufficient exhaust
openings to the outside of the
building. To assist air flow, open
windows and doors that are
farthest from the outlet vent in
each room. In these rooms,
provide an exhaust opening
about 2 times the vent size of
the room.
Where the design of the
building prevents adequate
exhaust, consideration should
be given to the provision of
mechanical extractions, such
as an exhaust fan.
In areas where temperatures
can cause water supply pipes
to freeze, a drain down facility
should be provided during the
installation.
This drain down facility must be
activated prior to freezing
conditions, to avoid possible
damage to the cooler
components.

WATER MANAGER
The Breezair remote control is
fitted with the WaterManager
feature which automatically
monitors the quality of the water
in the cooler.
The WaterManager drains the
existing water in the cooler to
allow it to be replaced with fresh
water, only when it is needed.
Therefore, you may notice your
cooler draining water
occasionally. How often the
WaterManager performs this
operation depends upon the
quality of the water supply and
the rate of evaporation.
In areas of poor water quality,
the WaterManager will
operate more often as it tries to
maintain the optimum water
quality in the cooler. This
maximises the cooling effect
and life of the cooling pads.
The remote control has a
unique feature attached to the
WaterManager that allows you
to specify either high or low
salinity settings. The low salinity
setting is used in specific
circumstances only. We
recommend talking with your
dealer before adjusting this
setting.
The high salinity setting is
designed to operate the cooler
at a maximum safe salinity
level to maintain a normal
working life. It also results in a
minimum usage of water .
NOTE: High salinity outlet
water should not be used on
salt sensitive grass or plants. It
has a high salt content.
The current WaterManager
setting is displayed by holding
down the button and
pressing the button. The
setting can be changed by
holding down the button
and pressing either the
or button for HI and LO
respectively.
The factory default
WaterManager setting is HI.
For areas operating with bore
water, DIP switch F should be
switched to off (see page 10).
This will disable the salinity
measuring circuit and simply
drain water from the tank every
65 minutes of operation.

BATTERIES
The remote control requires 3
AAA batteries. The use of good
quality alkaline batteries is
recommended. Under normal
conditions a set of batteries will
operate for 12 months. We
recommend that you replace
the batteries before each
season.
When the batteries are getting
low on power, BATTERY LOW
is displayed on the screen (the
cooler may also switch off while
the display remains ON). This
indicates that the batteries
have only a small amount of life
remaining.
To change the batteries remove
the cover from the back of the
remote control. Pull out the old
batteries and replace them all
with the new ones. Do not mix
new batteries with old batteries.
The remote control has 2 mins.
of back-up power to retain its
memory while the batteries are
being changed. If this time is
exceeded, turn the power off to
the cooler and wait until the
screen goes blank. Restore the
power and fit the batteries
within 4 minutes.
Do not use
rechargeable batteries as their
voltage rating is too low for the
remote control.

DIP SWITCHES
There are 2 rows of DIP
switches located under the
battery cover on the remote
control.
Definition of DIP switch
positions (first 6 in bottom row
only) are as follows:
(A)...... Reserved for later use.
(B)...... OFF, 24 hour clock.
ON, 12 hour clock.
(C)...... OFF, 1HP motor.

Your cooler is fitted with one of
two water management
systems designed to control the
water salinity and optimise the
life of the pads in your cooler.
BLEED SYSTEM
DRAIN VALVE
If fitted, the bleed system,
pictured on page 16, will
constantly drain small amounts
of water during the operation of
the cooler. This allows fresh
water to be added diluting any
minerals and salts accumulated.
The bleed rate for your cooler
will depend on local operating
conditions and will be set by the
installer.
If your cooler has been installed
with a drain valve it is
accompanied by the
WaterManager salinity probes.
When the tank’s water salinity
level reaches a preset level the
WaterManager will open the
drain valve and release about 6
to 8 litres. Fresh water will then
be added diluting any minerals
or salts accumulated. The
Water Manager will continue
to monitor and drain water as
required.
Alternatively, the cooler can be
set to drain 6 to 8 litres of water
at a preset period of pump
15
& drain valve
bleed funnel
operating time. This can be set
by changing the salinity control
method selector if using the
wall control, or DIP switch F if
using the remote control.
NOTE: When the cooler’s tank
is empty and the cooler is
turned on again, the fan
operation will be delayed as the
tank is refilled and the pads are
saturated.
If the power in your home goes
off for less than 5 seconds the
cooler will retain its current
settings. That is, it will stop for
the time the power is off but
resume operation when the
power comes back on again.
If the power goes off for more
than 5 seconds the cooler will
automatically turn itself off. That
is, once the power comes back
on the cooler will not resume
operation. You will have to turn
the cooler back on using the
wall control or remote control.
