EVAPORATIVE AIR CONDITIONERS

PURCHASING A COOLER

Are evaporative air coolers good for health?

• Evaporative air coolers are excellent for health
• They provide basic moisture that the human body needs
• They remove unhealthy pollution from your indoor environment
• They supply 100% fresh, filtered air into your building that is NEVER recirculated
• They remove static electricity; they can assist in reducing the effects of illnesses such as asthma.

Are evaporative coolers the same as evaporative air conditioners?

Yes, evaporative coolers are the same as evaporative air conditioners. The words have the same meaning with regards to types of air conditioning.

The following words also have the same meaning; Evaporative Coolers, Evaporative Air Coolers, Evaporative Air Cooler, Evaporative Cooler, Evaporative Cooling, Evaporative Air Conditioners, Ducted Evaporative Cooling and Evaporative Air Conditioning.

Where do I find evaporative air conditioning prices?

Evaporative air conditioning prices vary depending on the size of building, location and requirements. You need to speak with an authorised dealer to get an accurate price for evaporative cooling.

HOW DOES EVAPORATIVE COOLING WORK?

Ever wondered why you feel cooler by the ocean or a river? You feel cooler because as hot air blows across the water, it causes some of the water to evaporate and absorb the heat. The air is cooled by this evaporation process and so becomes a “sea” breeze.

Our evaporative air conditioners work the same way. Hot air enters the cooling unit on your roof where it is filtered and cooled as it passes through specially designed moistened Chillcel® pads. A fan then blows this beautifully cooled air throughout your home. Hot air in the house is forced out through open windows and doors providing your entire home with a complete change of air at least every two minutes.

How does evaporative air conditioning work

HOW IT WORKS

Can I control the amount of cooling in different areas of the building?

Yes, you can change the cooling in different areas of the house by changing where you have open windows and outside doors. Evaporative air conditioning works because the cool air from the outlets takes the path of least resistance to the outside air (pushing the hot air out on the way). So, if you close a window in a room and open the internal door, the cool air will move into other areas, where there is an external opening. We recommend that you experiment so you can get the best out of your air conditioner – but remember that there has to be an exhaust opening to the outside of the house for the cooling to work properly.

Can I pre-cool my house with my evaporative cooler?

Evaporative air conditioners with MagIQtouch® controllers have a program mode feature that you can set to start before you come home. Remember, though, that you must leave a window or outside door open if you are going to have the air conditioner on. If you don’t open a window or door, you may find the house quite humid when you get home. This humidity will clear once you open the windows.

Can I use my evaporative air cooler to remove smells of cooking/smoke/unpleasant odours in my home?

Yes, you can use your evaporative air cooler to remove unpleasant smells from your house. The best method to achieve this is to open the windows up a little more than usual and then start the evaporative air cooler in ‘ventilation’ mode on one of the higher fan speeds. This will exhaust the smells out of the building.

How many windows and doors do I need to have open for my evaporative air conditioner to work effectively?

For an evaporative air conditioner to work effectively, some windows or outside doors must be open, or some other form of ventilation provided. This is to allow the hot air to escape from the building. The best approach is to open the windows or outside doors that are the furthest away from the evaporative air conditioning vents or ducts. In the rooms with air conditioning vents, try to have an exhaust area of an open window (or door) that is about twice the size of the vent opening. Note: when it’s humid and the air is very moist, evaporation levels are lower. This means that the cooling effect is reduced. In some situations, it may help to switch the air conditioner to “ventilation” mode increase exhaust area and run the fan on a high speed.

Do I have to leave my doors and windows open?

No, an alternative to opening a window or outside door is to install security vents, or up ducts, that exhaust the air from the building. Contact your dealer or installer for information about security vents.

Why does my new evaporative air conditioner smell when I turn it on?

The Chillcel® filter material works well and lasts longer than other types of filters…but it is a bit smelly when you first turn the evaporative air conditioner on! The good news is the smell doesn’t last for long. If your air conditioner has a MagIQtouch® controller you can reduce the odour by using the ‘Pad Flush’ function in the SETTINGS menu of your controller.

Is it fresh or recirculated air being circulated through my home?

It is fresh air being circulated through your home, it is not recirculated. Hot and dry outside air is drawn through water-soaked pads. As the air passes through the pads, the water is evaporated and the heat in the air is absorbed, which lowers the air temperature. For best results, partially open windows or outside doors that are the furthest away from the air conditioning vents or ducts. In the rooms with air conditioning vents, try to have an exhaust area of the open window (or outside door) that is about twice the size of the vent opening. If there are very hot winds, you can reduce openings on the windward side of the house (where the wind is coming from) and increase the openings on the opposite side of the house.

Will the evaporative cooler increase humidity and produce condensation in the building?

No, the evaporative air cooler will not increase the humidity – provided that the design is based on a balanced ventilation scheme. Keeping doors and windows open, or using an exhaust fan will let any humid air out, avoiding condensation.

Does water temperature affect the cooling capacity?

No a high water temperature does not have a marked effect on the supply temperature of an evaporative cooler.

Can I use bore water in my evaporative air conditioner?

There are many thousands of evaporative air coolers working on bore water in Australia. However, high calcium content bore water will affect the Service life of the filter pads and the unit will also need to be maintained more regularly than units operating on good quality water. We recommend speaking to your local authorised dealer who will be familiar with local conditions to discuss this further.

Can I use the discharge water from my evaporative cooler for my garden?

The discharge water will contain high levels of mineral salts and you should check with a garden centre before you put this water on your plants. Water from constant bleed systems can be run onto lawns. Please note that all drainage must meet local regulations and standards.

I use a rainwater supply to my evaporative cooler, do I need so much water being drained out with the water management system?

If you have a constant bleed system, you can reduce the flow rate – refer to your Owner’s Manual for information. With water management or Watermiser systems, the controls constantly monitor the water quality. So, with better quality water, less water will be drained away.

How are evaporative cooler pads used in the ducted air conditioner?

In an evaporative cooler air conditioner, a pump circulates water from the reservoir on to a cooling pad, which in turn becomes wet. A fan draws air from outside the unit through the moistened evaporative cooler pad. As it passes through the evaporative cooler pads the air is cooled by evaporation.

Why does my evaporative air conditioner drain some water every now and then?

This is normal if a water management or ‘Watermiser’ drain system is fitted. These drain systems are designed to monitor and control the quality of the water in the tank. So, it only drains water when the system really needs to. It does this by letting water out through the drain, which is replaced with fresh water via water inlet float valve as the water level in the unit drops. The frequency at which the water manager drains is determined by the quality of the water in the tank. A probe in the tank measures the water salinity (impurities) and, when this rises above a set level, the unit will drain some water. The frequency at which the water manager allows water to drain off is dependent on 1) The water supply quality; 2) The temperature of the day; 3) The humidity of the day; 4) The wind of the day; 5) The fan speed the unit is being run at; and 6) The size of the unit.

Why is there a constant stream of water coming out of the drainpipe from my evaporative air conditioner when it is running?

If you have a Constant Bleed system, you will see a constant flow while the evaporative air conditioner’s pump is operating. The amount of water flow will vary depending on the rate set by the installer – so, if you are in doubt of the setting of your bleed off, please contact your installer. If you are not sure who installed your air conditioner, you can call your local service company for a maintenance service. (Call 1300 650 644 to be directed to your closest authorised Seeley Service company). Please note that this type of adjustment is not covered under the manufacturer’s warranty. If you have a ‘Watermiser’ water management system, the system is designed to monitor and control the quality of the water in the tank. So, it only drains water when the system really needs to. It does this by letting water out through the drain, which is replaced with fresh water via water inlet float valve as the water level in the unit drops. The frequency at which the ‘Watermiser’ water management system bleeds off is determined by the quality of the water in the tank. A probe in the tank measures the water salinity (impurities) and, when this rises above a set level, the unit will drain some water. The frequency at which the water manager allows water to bleed off is dependent on 1) The water supply quality; 2) The temperature of the day; 3) The humidity of the day; 4) The wind of the day; 5) The fan speed the unit is being run at; and 6) The size of the unit.

TROUBLESHOOTING, MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING MY AIR-CONDITIONER

Who do I contact to book an evaporative cooling service?

We recommend seasonal maintenance (pre and postseason) if you have a cooler fitted with a bleed system, including regular servicing of your evaporative air conditioner. If your evaporative cooler is fitted with a drain valve, no seasonal maintenance is required, but maintenance checks are essential to ensure the cooler operates efficiently for many years.

To book a service click here or call 1300 650 644 to be directed to your closest authorised Seeley Service company.

Where do I locate the serial number for my system?

Your serial number for your evaporative air conditioner is located in the back of your owner’s manual on the warranty card sticker. The sticker will state the serial number and the model number of the product.

If you can’t find your serial number, please contact the dealer you purchased your product from.

I bought the “no seasonal maintenance” feature, so does this mean I do not have to do any maintenance checks at all?

Your pre and postseason clean is not necessary, but your scheduled maintenance checks are still necessary after the first year and then on an every other year basis. If the evaporative cooler is operating under harsh conditions, it may require scheduled maintenance checks more frequently. Check your Owner’s Manual for more details.

To book a service click here or call 1300 650 644 to be directed to your closest authorised Seeley Service company.

Why does my evaporative cooler drain the water when it has not been used?

If your evaporative cooler has the ‘no seasonal maintenance’ feature ‘Watermanager / ‘Watermiser’ / drain system fitted, then it will drain all the water out of the unit after a pre-set period of time and then stop (refer to your Owner’s Manual for details). If your air conditioner does not have the ‘no seasonal maintenance’ feature you may need to have your air conditioner serviced.

To book a service click here or call 1300 650 644 to be directed to your closest authorised Seeley Service company.

Why does water flow from my drainpipe when the evaporative cooler is turned off?

If your evaporative cooler has the ‘no seasonal maintenance’ feature ”Watermanager” / ‘Watermiser’ / drain system fitted, then it will drain all the water out of the unit after a pre-set period of time and then stop (refer to your Owner’s Manual for details). If your evaporative air conditioner does not have the ‘no seasonal maintenance’ feature you may need to have your air conditioner serviced.

To book a service click here or call 1300 650 644 to be directed to your closest authorised Seeley Service company.

Why does my ducted evaporative cooling system have more air coming through some ducts than others?

This can be normal to ensure good airflow and cooling effect if the duct with greater airflow is supplying a larger area. However, if you are unsure you need to contact the company who installed the ducted evaporative cooling system and ask them to balance your airflow within the ductwork. This cannot be achieved by any adjustment on the evaporative air cooler. If you have moved into a house with a system already installed and you don’t know who installed it, you can get someone who is qualified in ductwork design to balance the system.

To find your local dealer visit Find a Dealer .

Why is hot air coming out of the vents?

Check that the wall control is set to “cool”. Check that the water supply to the unit is turned on. Note: if it is very humid outside it may help to switch the evaporative air conditioner to “ventilation” mode and run the fan on a high speed. If you have checked these things and your problem is not fixed, your evaporative air conditioner may need to be serviced.

To book a service click here or call 1300 650 644 to be directed to your closest authorised Seeley Service company.

What should I do if ‘service’ is displayed on my controller screen and when I push the ON/OFF button a number appears?

When ‘service’ is displayed it may be necessary for you to contact our Service Team. However, before doing so, turn the wall control OFF. You will notice a number flashing at the bottom of the screen. This number indicates the reason for requiring service. Please write this number down, then push the button to turn the cooler back on. If after a short time ‘service’ is again shown on the display, turn the wall control OFF and check if the flashing number is the same. If it is the same, check the following possible problems.
If ‘02’ is displayed

1. Check that the water supply tap to the cooler is turned on.
2. Check that your local water authority haven’t temporarily disconnected the water in your area.
If ‘04’ is displayed

1. If your cooler is fitted with a drain valve, check that the drain is not blocked.

If this does not fix the problem contact the Service Team quoting the flashing number.

What should I do if ‘service’ is displayed on my controller screen and the ON/OFF button is pushed ‘service’ remains on the screen and nothing happens?

This is easily rectified and means that communication needs to be re-established between the wall control and the electronic controller inside the cooler. To establish communications simply push and hold the ‘down’ arrow button until the word ‘service’ disappears from the screen. This may take up to 15 to 20 seconds. Once communication has been established the word ‘service’ will disappear and the unit can be operated.

If the condition persists, or there is any abnormal operation of the cooler please book a service or call 1300 650 644 to be directed to your closest authorised Seeley Service company.

When and how should I clean my evaporative air conditioner?

Maintenance Schedule servicing is essential to ensure your evaporative cooler operates efficiently for many years. We require that the maintenance service checklist in the Owner’s Manual, be followed after the first year, then every 2 years as Maintenance Schedule servicing.

Seasonal Maintenance is only required if you have an evaporative cooler fitted with a bleed system (Homemaker). Seasonal Maintenance services must be performed before and after the summer season. The recommended process is set out in the Owner’s Manual. Remember to only use clean water, as it does not leave a residue or odour. If your cooler is fitted with a drain valve (Harmony or Horizon), ‘no seasonal maintenance’ is required.

For Seeley International units with the ‘no seasonal maintenance’ feature, you do not need annual or end of season cleaning. However, the evaporative air conditioner will require maintenance schedule service after the first year and then on an every other year basis.
IMPORTANT! Maintenance Schedule servicing may be required more frequently in adverse environmental situations or where the appliance is installed in non-domestic applications. Please consult with the installer or service agents to determine if more frequent servicing is required.

GAS HEATING

HOW IT WORKS

Can I heat different rooms in my house to different temperatures?

Yes, using a controller with the functionality to set different temperatures in designated zones within the house. Simply discuss which rooms can be included in each heating zone when organising installation of your gas heating system.

Can I pre-warm my house so it isn't freezing when I get home or when I get up in the morning?

Yes, using a controller with pre-warm functionality enables you to set the temperature in your home for your arrival and regulate the temperature while you sleep.

Can I use one controller for the entire house?

Yes, you can. A master controller operates all zones and is usually located in the main living area. This can be used to remotely switch the heating on or off in other zones as required.

TROUBLESHOOTING, MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING

WALL FURNACES

TROUBLESHOOTING, MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING

How do I light my pilot light?

Instructions for this can be found in the home owner’s manual for your model.

How can I check if the pilot light on?

The pilot indicator can be found behind the control cover. The pilot is on when the indicator is in the red. If you have accidentally turned the pilot off, you can try turning it on BUT DO NOT force it as this will cause damage, wait 5 minutes before attempting to relight the pilot, forcing the knob will damage the valve. Note: applicable to wall furnace models WF30, WF40 and WF2000 only.

Can I turn my fan down or off?

NO, the appliance has been designed to meet AGA approvals and has a number of safety devices built in. These devices are designed to ensure the correct and safe operation of the appliance. Note: applicable to wall furnace models WF30, WF40 and WF2000 only.

Why is there a cold draught from the appliance when it is not on?

The appliance does not and is not designed to draw in outside air, room temperature air is drawn in through the top of the appliance heated and distributed back into the room from the vent at the base of the appliance. If recently installed contact your installer as they may need to check all wall and cavity openings are properly sealed. Note: applicable to wall furnace models WF30, WF40, WF2000 and WF25.

Why does the air from the appliance feel like a cold draught when the unit is on?

The unit only recycles room temperature air it does not draw in air from outside. Contact your installer to ensure they have set the gas pressure and minimum burner rate as part of the appliance installation. The installer will also need to position the vertical metal louvres found inside the air outlet to ensure the air is directed away from the customers seating position. Note: applicable to wall furnace models WF30, WF40, WF2000 and WF25.

How often should I have my unit serviced?

It is recommended by the gas authorities that servicing should be performed annually. In harsh environments, more frequent servicing may be required. Note: applicable to wall furnace models WF30, WF40, WF2000 and WF25.

To book a service click here or call 1300 650 644 to be directed to your closest authorised Seeley Service company.

Do I need to have the unit tested for CO (Carbon monoxide)?

It is recommended by the gas authorities to have the appliance tested when servicing is being performed. Note: applicable to wall furnace models WF30, WF40, WF2000 and WF25.

To book a service click here or call 1300 650 644 to be directed to your closest authorised Seeley Service company.

Why does my unit sometimes turn on without manually turning it on?

This can occur at night when it is coldest and is normally due to the control knob not being turned back to the start or pilot position. To Turn Off Main Burner (Pilot-Stand by):

• Turn gas control knob clockwise to a position between the word PILOT & the star-shaped symbol.

It is recommended that the pilot is left in operation during the heating season. To Turn Off Completely (end of the heating season):

• Turn gas control knob clockwise to the “0” position, do not attempt to relight the pilot for 5 minutes, forcing the knob will result in damage to the valve.

Note: applicable to wall furnace models WF30, WF40 and WF2000 only.

Why does my unit sometimes turn off without manually turning it off?

The heater will turn off when the set temperature is reached. To increase the room temperature, increase the setting on the knob, 1 being the lowest 7 the highest. If the pilot light is also turning off, check if the appliance is plugged into the power supply, the power is turned on. The unit should not be connected through an extension lead or power board. Ensure there are no airflow restrictions in front of the unit for approximately 2 meters, for example, furniture, cloth drying racks etc. If recently installed, contact the installer to check the gas pressure is set as per the installation instructions. General maintenance may be required. Note: applicable to wall furnace models WF30, WF40 and WF2000 only.

Why is there a cold draught from the appliance when it is not on?

The appliance does not and is not designed to draw in outside air, room temperature air is drawn in through the top of the appliance heated and distributed back into the room from the vent at the base of the appliance. If recently installed contact your installer as they may need to check all wall and cavity openings are properly sealed.

Why does the air from the appliance feel like a cold draught when the unit is on?

The unit only recycles room temperature air it does not draw in air from outside. Contact your installer to ensure they have set the gas pressure and minimum burner rate as part of the appliance installation. The installer will also need to position the vertical metal louvres found inside the air outlet to ensure the air is directed away from the customers seating position.

How often should I have my unit serviced?

It is recommended by the gas authorities that servicing should be performed annually. In harsh environments, more frequent servicing may be required.

How does Braemar Ecostar® Gas Space Heating compare to other space heating systems?

Natural gas heating is a far more economical and environmentally friendly form of heating compared to electric or solid fuel heaters.

Solid fuel heaters generate more greenhouse gas emissions and are messy to clean, while electric heaters or reverse cycle systems produce a drying effect in the air that irritates the eyes, skin, nose and throat.

Braemar Ecostar® Gas Space Heaters are low maintenance, easy to clean and have highly efficient heat exchangers, which maximises heat output and doesn’t dry the air.

CONTROLLERS

Not all MagIQtouch Controllers are compatible with the MagIQtouch WIFI Smart App?

  • Your system will need a MagIQtouch Wi-Fi Module and a compatible MagIQtouch wall controller software revision 44R0218 or higher for single controller systems and 44R0418 or higher for multiple wall controller zoned heating systems.

Will the MagIQtouch® WI-FI smart solution use a lot of my home internet data allowance?

The system will use very little data. This will be the equivalent of downloading 1x jpeg photo per month.

Can I have more than 1x Mobile device to control my system?

You can have as many mobile devices connected to your system as you wish. All mobile devices need to be signed in with the same email account and password credentials used on the wall control. Whoever uses the mobile app last takes control of the system.
