CONDENSING UNIT LOCATION AND MOUNTING

The design of the BG 2000 allows placement of the unit in an enclosed space such as a cabin locker, sail locker or engine area.

The BG 2000 is a high-powered unit. It produces some noise and vibration. Its duty cycle will be short however, consider that dockside operation may be noticed when the generator is not masking the sound. Bulkhead mounting is fine, but avoid mounting on a bulkhead that may resonate into the cabin area. If an under bunk installation is used, turning off the thermostat at night will avoid startling you should the unit start.

SERVICE ACCESS

Service access and installation require that the front and left end (water fitting end) be accessible.

RECEIVER FILTER DRIER (RFD) VISIBILITY

LOCATION: The RFD is in the left corner of the compressor unit. Be sure that it can be viewed from the top. A mirror might be mounted above the glass to allow ease of inspection if the unit is to be mounted close to an overhang or under a deck.

MOUNTING

Mount the BG 2000 level. The unit may be bulkhead or platform mounted. It may be hung from its case. Use the aluminum ell brackets supplied. The 1/4-20 X 1-3/4 Stainless screws thread into the Well-nut mounts at the back corners of the housing. Mount holes for standard fasteners are also drilled in the forward edge of the bottom of the cabinet.

PLATE MOUNTING

SEA FROST holdover plates mount with a "Wellnut" expandable neoprene blind hole fastener. A template or the part itself should be used to locate the mounting holes. Drill 1/4" pilot holes then increase them to 1/2". Install the screw into the mounting tab then screw the mount onto the screw. Install the plate pushing the rubber mounts Into the predrilled holes. Tighten the screws firmly.
