Tripp Lite SRCOOL18K Owners Manual - Page 8

Installation (continued) 5 Window Exhaust Connection Note: The SRCOOL18K and SRCOOL24K both contain two adjustable exhaust panels (one for each warm air exhaust duct). Repeat steps 5-1 through 5-3 to install the second exhaust panel. Warning: Some windows may require modified installation procedures. The user must determine the fitness of hardware and procedures before installing. The procedures described in this manual may not be appropriate for all applications. The exhaust panels are not designed to be installed stacked on top of one another or side-by-side. Each exhaust panel can occupy one window pane. 5-1 Measure the window opening. Combine the two sections of the adjustable exhaust panel, then adjust the exhaust panel to match the width of the window opening. After the exhaust panel is set to the correct width, use the included self-tapping screw to lock it in place. Note: The exhaust panel can adjust from 20.5 to 49.2 inches (52.1 to 104.1 cm). It is compatible with vertical and horizontal mounting. 5-2 Insert the exhaust duct adapter into the oblong hole in the adjustable exhaust panel. The adapter will snap into place. Repeat for the second exhaust duct tube.

A tight seal will permit maximum cooling efficiency. Note: There must be at least 20 inches (50.8 cm) of open space behind the rear panel to allow adequate airflow. Note: The flexible exhaust duct can extend to a maximum length of 118 inches (300 cm). Provide the straightest, shortest path available. Excessive bending or stretching of the duct will reduce cooling efficiency. Horizontal Window Opening Vertical Window Opening INCORRECT CORRECT 5-3 Vertical Vertical WOpinednoinwgWindow Opening 8
