Safety Considerations
VERY IMPORTANT: Never install your air conditioner in the bilge or engine room areas. Insure that the selected location is sealed from direct access to bilge and/or engine room vapors. Do not terminate condensate drain line within three (3) feet of any outlet of engine or generator exhaust systems, nor in a compartment housing an engine or generator, nor in a bilge, unless the drain is connected properly to a sealed condensate or shower sump pump.

Placement of System
Selecting a good location for your air conditioner is the most important part of your preparations. Be sure to consider the size of the area you are cooling, the air distribution needs, and the size of the unit you have chosen. Keeping in mind that cool air has a tendency to fall, it is highly recommended that you locate the supply air grille as high as possible in the cabin. See Figures 2 and 3.
The Vector Compact unit should be installed as low as possible, BUT NEVER IN THE BILGE OR ENGINE
ROOM AREAS. INSURE THAT THE SELECTED LOCA- TION IS SEALED FROM DIRECT ACCESS TO BILGE AND/OR ENGINE ROOM VAPORS. Installing the unit as low as possible (such as under a
The unit should be positioned on a firm, level, horizontal surface and the condensate drain line should run downward from the unit to a suitable drain location. Plan all connections which must be made including ducting, condensate drain, seawater in and out, electrical power connections, location of control, and seawater pump placement, to assure easy access for routing and servicing.
