Determining The Installation Position; Installing The Compressor Unit - Dometic SP 950C Montageanleitung

SP 950C, SPX 1200C
• Please consult the manufacturer of your vehicle with regard to the following.
– is the cab's rear panel a suitable location for attaching the unit?
– is the body designed to bear the static weight and loads occasioned by the parking cooler in a moving vehi-
cle?
• Always check before installation of the unit whether any vehicle components could be damaged, deformed or
impaired in terms of their functionality as a result of the installation.
• Avoid any unnecessary and frequent mechanical stress to the supply line between the evaporator unit and the
compressor unit. Damage can result in the loss of refrigerant and impair the performance of the unit.
• The supplied assembly parts must not be modified during installation.
• The ventilation slots (grill) may not be covered (minimum distance from other attachment parts: 10 cm).
• If a fastening frame is not used to install the system, make sure that the installation position of the compressor
unit on the rear panel is not too low. The system could be damaged by high temperatures of the engine's waste
heat.
• The device shall be installed in accordance with national wiring regulations.
6.3

Determining the installation position

The installation position of the unit must meet the following criteria:
• All maintenance work must be easy to perform.
• Sufficient space must be available for the refrigerant line.
• The compressor unit must not be installed with a horizontal or vertical inclination.
• The compressor unit must not be fitted near direct waste heat (engine heat etc.).
• The refrigerant line must be long enough to connect the compressor and evaporator units. The line must not be
laid taut.
– SP950T/SPX1200T: approx. 4.2 m
– SP950I: approx. 2.3 m
– SPX1200IC: approx. 2.1 m
• The fastening surface should be as flat as possible. Use spacer sleeves for uneven surfaces. If spacer sleeves are
used, longer fastening screws with sufficient tensile strength (not included in the assembly set) must be used.
• The freedom of movement of semi-trailers (of the outer edges of the semi-trailer when turning or jackknifing)
and other vehicle attachments must not be restricted.

Installing the compressor unit

A
NOTICE! Damage hazard
Due to its weight, the compressor unit must have contact with at least two fastening
points of the fastening surface. Do not use spacer sleeves for all four fastening points.
I
NOTE
To install the compressor unit using a vehicle-specific fastening frame, please observe
the instructions included in the frame's scope of delivery. The following work steps
describe the installation of the compressor unit without vehicle-specific fastening
frame.
