Cuddy dc Boat Air Conditioning Kit
Easy & Affordable DC-Powered Air Conditioner
Key Benefits
The Cuddy dc is a compact 3,500 BTU/hr cool-only air conditioner designed to work with 12V
power systems. Energized by a dedicated bank of batteries and a dedicated power module (DPM),
the Cuddy dc makes your small cabin a refuge from the heat and sun. Compact—about the size of
a typical battery box—this low-profile unit easily fits beneath a V-berth or in a storage area below
deck. The Cuddy dc uses R-134A, a globally accepted, environmentally safe refrigerant.
The customer's dedicated 12V DC battery bank powers the system via the DPM, which is included
with the Cuddy dc kit. Two ABYC-approved wires (sized properly for your unique installation) run
from the dedicated battery bank to the DPM. Easy-to-use polarized plugs connect the DPM to the
seawater pump and the Cuddy dc unit. Optional cables are available for longer runs if your setup
requires more than the standard 4.5 ft. (1.37 m) cable included with the kit.
To operate the system, the Cuddy dc uses a simple two-knob mechanical control. Since it draws
no power itself, the mechanical control maximizes runtime and efficiency. The Cuddy dc system
(compressor, blower, and pump) draws about 29 amps of DC power under normal operating
conditions. Supplemental DC power comes to you via engine power (if available) or via shore
power through a battery charger.
The customer must provide the right type of batteries and battery charger. Use only deep-cycle
AGM or gel-cell batteries. Do not use wet-cell batteries. The battery charger must be rated for the
type of battery you use. The Cuddy dc requires a dedicated battery bank. To maximize runtime, we
recommend using at least two batteries in the bank. The more cells, the longer the runtime. All
batteries used must be of the same type - all AGM or all gel-cel - and the same age.

Enclosed Modular Chillers with a Compact Footprint
Key Benefits
Each unit includes a chilled water (CW) flow switch, refrigerant high- and low-refrigerant pressure
switches, and inlet and outlet CW temperature sensors. The TWC does not include a chilled water
modulating flow control, which means air handlers with or without flow controls can be used.* The
brazed platecoil evaporator and coaxial cupronickel seawater condenser allow for superior cooling
and heating performance.
On 2- to 3-ton units, an electrical box mounted on top of the chiller houses the control board as
well as starting components, and can be mounted remotely up to 6 ft. (1.8 m) away. On 4- to 6-ton
units, the electric box is normally contained within the enclosure and does not contribute to height.
A remote electric box is available upon request for 4- to 6-ton units.
Two control systems are available. The standard control is our proven Digital Diagnostic Control
(DDC) that provides simple, single-stage operation. For multiplexed systems, the Tempered Water
Logic Control (TWLC) with LCD screen is available. Depending on the configuration, additional
cables, switches, sensors, or a display may be required.
All TWC chillers come with R-410A, the preferred environmentally safe refrigerant used in modern,
high-efficiency air conditioning systems.
*On larger boats we always recommend using flow-controlled air handlers to ensure proper water
distribution. A balancing flow control (BFC) is not needed when using TWC chillers.

Key Benefits
Set up and operation of the TWLC is fully automatic. It senses how many units are connected and
programs the temperature staging and unit rotation of the units to pre-programmed parameters.
The TWLC board has non-volatile memory so settings and recorded information are not lost even
if power is interrupted. The large memory capacity allows the TWLC to record run time of the
compressors and pumps, and store the fault history of each unit.
The system monitors all the inputs and will display 12 different faults based on the information
received. Each fault has a specific routine that protects the unit while helping to prevent nuisance
faults. Some will generate a sustained shutdown, which must be reset from the TWLC keypad.
If a fault is sensed, the fault LED on the TWLC keypad will light (and the buzzer will sound, if
activated) and the specific fault will be displayed on the LCD screen. The fault signal output on the
P/L boards will also be powered.
Another feature of the TWLC is that it can be connected to an on-board computer or modem to
allow full remote access of the system. Custom software emulates the TWLC on the computer
screen and navigation through the menus is identical to the TWLC keypad/display. If a land
phone line is available, a modem can be connected and the system can be viewed and operated
remotely, allowing a knowledgeable service agent to troubleshoot the system anywhere in the
world.

Key Benefits
A complete climate control system consists of the SMXht keypad/display, SMX II-HV power/logic
board, CXP cable and a TSEP temperature sensor.
The SMXht is available in gray or white and has a sleek, modern European design. Two popular
decorative snap-on bezels, Vimar® Idea or Gewiss® Playbus, are available (sold separately). The
Gewiss bezel snaps directly onto the display; the Vimar bezel requires the use of two “wings”
(included) to snap onto the display. The keypad/display features raised buttons and a blue backlit
LCD. The LCD has three levels of brightness or a programmable sleep mode in which the display
is darkened automatically. With these new features, programming and operation is simple and
easy. Installation is also uncomplicated; see the back of this sheet for a detailed diagram.
Normal operation consists of simply turning the system on by pressing the Power button and
adjusting the desired cabin temperature set point. Fan speed can be controlled automatically or
manually. Operation modes are cool, heat, auto switchover (automatically switches from cool to
heat Mode), and dehumidification. Dehumidification can be used to operate the system on a timed
basis so that the boat will stay ventilated and dry even when no one is aboard. Aux (electric) heat
mode is available for tempered water systems.
The SMXht will display a fault code in the event of a line voltage or refrigerant low or high pressure
problem.
Many of the factory settings can be changed to allow the user to fine-tune the system to best match
the boat and personal preferences.. A nonvolatile memory retains current operation mode and all
programmable settings when power is turned off or lost, such as when changing from generator
to dock power. The programmable compressor time delay function will prevent multiple units from
starting at the same time when power is restored.

7X More Effective Than Ordinary A/C Filters
Key Benefits
Enjoy cleaner, healthier air quality on your boat with Breathe Easy™ microparticle, anti-allergenic
air filters for your air conditioning system. Breath Easy microparticle air filters are rated Merv 7,
making them seven times more effective than ordinary air filters.
Breathe Easy microparticle air filters are efficient and disposable, and are available for most
Dometic air conditioning systems. Installation takes only seconds using the existing brackets on
either side of the evaporator face. Special pins are included to hold the air filter in place on units
which do not have these brackets.
Because Breathe Easy microparticle air filters are highly efficient in removing impurities, they
should be changed at frequent intervals to maintain air quality. Dometic recommends changing the
filter once every two months when living aboard, once every four months when the air conditioner
is used three weekends per month, and once every six months when the air conditioner is used
only one or two times per month.
Complete installation and replacement instructions are provided in the air filter packaging.

affect the operation of an overstrained power source. [The SmartStart] is a great solution to our
problem."
In some situations, this gentler method of handling the power surge can mean the difference
— Mr. John Poole, Poole Refrigeration
between keeping the generator you have or investing thousands of dollars in a larger generator.
Service, Alameda, CA, M/V Emiko (37 ft.
Nordic Tug)
For boats without a generator, the SmartStart™ may allow the option of powering an air conditioning
system from an inverter.
When running on dock power, a SmartStart™ may resolve issues where the power source or
connection may be weak.
Not only does the SmartStart™ ease strain on the power source, it’s also less stressful for the
compressor itself since it starts more gently. Additionally, it provides valuable protection by shutting

WhisperFan Controller
Silences Noisy AC-Driven Blower Motors
Key Benefits
The WhisperFan Controller also provides more versatile fan-speed control. Want a more noticeable
difference between your fan’s medium speed and its high speed? The WhisperFan’s two-button
keypad allows you or an installer to specify the exact speed for all your fan speed settings. Further
fine tuning can be done later from your cabin control’s keypad (e.g. Cruisair Qht or Marine Air
Systems Elite).
The WhisperFan works with all Cruisair and Marine Air cabin controls (Q-Logic, Passport, and
SMXII) and with any AC blowers on either chilled water or direct expansion air conditioning
systems.
The WhisperFan Controller is an easy and economical solution for an existing blower installation
that may be too noisy. It’s also great for anyone who wants to make precise adjustments to the
fan-speed settings.
The WhisperFan Controller works with blowers up to 3 amps. WhisperFan can only support a
single blower, so you must use one per fan.

Key Benefits
March Marine centrifugal pumps are an excellent choice for providing seawater circulation
for marine air conditioning systems. The proven magnetic drive eliminates the troublesome
mechanical shaft seal.
There is no seal wear, power-robbing friction, or leakage through the seal. The impeller and drive
magnets are strong, permanent ceramic types, which prevent slippage, ensuring that full motor
power is converted into pumping power.
Centrifugal pumps require a flooded inlet and should be mounted below the waterline. “LC” models
have liquid-cooled motors and can be run in open air or submerged. “AC” models have air-cooled,
open drip-proof motors and must be in a dry environment.

The glass reinforced polypropylene head pumps have magnetic drive impellers, and are available
with submersible or air cooled motors. Larger pumps have bronze heads with mechanical seals,
and air cooled, drip-proof motors. A wide range of pumps and motors are available for use in
different power environments.
Centrifugal pumps must be mounted below the water line. Self-priming pumps are also available for
above water line applications. A scoop type through-hull and a seawater strainer are recommended
for proper operation.
When more than one air conditioning unit is served by a single pump, a separate pump relay is
used. To complete the installation, Cruisair can also supply water manifolds, hose, and fittings.

Key Benefits
Cruisair specifies reliable, heavy-duty water pumps for use in circulated water air conditioning
systems. All pumps are centrifugal, with bronze and stainless components.
Pumps are available with 115/230V single-phase, or 230/460 3-phase, dual voltage motors. Most
are rated for 50/60 Hz use, but special 50 Hz only pumps are also available for full performance.
Circulation pumps are sized for the total loop capacity. Cruisair design specification is 3 gpm (11.4
lpm) per 12,000 Btu/hr capacity, rated at 40' (12.2 meters) head. Seawater pumps are selected for
the tempering unit capacity, at 250 gph (15.8 lpm) per 12,000 Btu/hr.
Self-priming seawater pumps are available for installations where the pump cannot be mounted
below the water line, or if air is able to enter the system such as on a sailboat or high speed craft.
Pump relays are used to control each pump. The circulation pump must run whenever the system
is cooling or heating, and the seawater pump is typically cycled with the tempering units.
Single-phase pumps have internal overload protection. An external overload relay should be used
with 3-phase pumps.

AIR CONDITIONING ACCESSORIES 103
Key Benefits
Pump packages reduce the installation time of chilled water systems by combining several
necessary components in one convenient package. The packages include a chilled-water pump,
expansion tank, pump drain pan, dual-scale (psi/kPa) pressure gauge, and fill assembly. The fill
assembly includes a hose connection, ball valve, and pressure-reducing valve.
The cushion of air in the expansion tank allows the water to expand and contract with temperature
fluctuations. This relieves pressure that might otherwise result in leaks.
The latest design includes a bladder-style expansion tank. Without the bladder, air in the expansion
tank would gradually dissolve into the water and be bled off. Eventually, the protective cushion of
air would be gone.
The pressure gauge is connected to an inlet pipe on the pump for the most accurate reading of
system return water pressure.

AIR CONDITIONING ACCESSORIES 105
Key Benefits
A Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) completely eliminates the large starting inrush current of the
compressor by ramping up voltage and frequency in a controlled time period. This allows running
on limited dockside power, and also protects the generator from overload.
In addition to eliminating inrush, the VFD will also run a 60Hz rated compressor at 60Hz even
when input power is 50Hz, which allows full BTU capacity performance (230V only). The drive
also protects the compressor by monitoring input voltage and output current, and will shut down if
a problem is detected. On 208/230V systems, the VFD can “convert” single-phase input power to
3-phase output; however, the VFD current capacity must be derated (see table on second page).
The VFD unit produces a modified sine wave output for smooth acceleration and running, with
precise frequency resolution. It is designed to operate in extreme environments, such as an engine
room. However, the enclosure is ventilated, and must be kept dry. Any direct water contact can
damage the unit.
Built-in noise filters are standard and the VFD is CE approved. The Schneider Electric Altivar 312
VFDs incorporate a class A EMC filter into their design. This helps prevent high frequency noise
from affecting the AC power supply to which the drives are connected. If you have an application
or a power system that requires even lower noise emission, then we recommend you purchase the
class B EMC filters specifically designed to fit with the entire family of Altivar 312 VFDs. To reduce
the harmonic distortion caused by the VFD, we recommend you purchase a line reactor sized
appropriately for the particular VFD.
An LED display allows the user to monitor operation and faults. The VFD is pre-programmed from
the factory and no further setup is required. Power cables are available through special order.

Dometic Eskimo Ice Diverter
Automatically Fill Two Fish Boxes Hands-Free
Key Benefits
The Dometic Eskimo Ice Diverter automatically distributes ice from a single Eskimo Ice system to
two separate fishboxes for maximum ice production.
The Eskimo Ice Diverter eliminates shoveling ice between fishboxes. When connected to the ice
delivery hose of an Eskimo Ice system, the compact Diverter automatically or manually switches
ice output from one box to the other.
Automatic Mode
■■ A smart electronic fishbox “Bin full” sensor alerts the Eskimo Ice system when fishbox 1 is ready
and automatically activates the Diverter to switch ice output to fishbox 2.
■■ When fishbox 2 “Bin full” sensor automatically alerts it is ready, the Diverter again automatically
switches output back to fishbox 1.
■■ If fishbox 1 is no longer full, then ice production and distribution continues.
■■ If both fishboxes are full, ice production stops until either fishbox sensor automatically indicates it
is no longer full, then ice production resumes to that box.
■■ Automatically keeps both fishboxes as full as possible.
Manual Mode
■■ Select this mode if you only need to fill a second box occasionally. Manually specify whether you
want ice to go into fishbox 1 or fishbox 2.
The Dometic Eskimo Ice Diverter is strong enough to avoid ice jamming. If ice is in the hose when
the changeover happens, the diverter chops through it and still makes the switch.

Dometic Eskimo Ice Pusher
Fill Your Whole Ice Bin, Not Just One Side
Key Benefits
One big pile of ice does not mean your fish box is full. Usually the end of the fish box located
away from the ice-delivery hose remains empty, but the safety sensors that prevent your boat from
being flooded with ice are fooled by the large pile at the filling end and tell the ice maker to stop
producing.
This important ice-stopping safety feature can be a source of frustration when sport fishermen
open their fish box and find it only partially filled with ice and unable to chill what they’ve just
caught. Often a deckhand is assigned to keep pushing the ice pile over, but that task can easily be
forgotten when things get hectic onboard.
Working electronically, the ice pusher is activated whenever the Eskimo Ice logic controls receive
a bin-full message. It slowly but powerfully extends from the side of the fish box and knocks the top
off the mountain of ice. This moves ice to the empty side of the fish box and ice production is not
interrupted. A safety feature prevents the pushing operation if the fish box lid is open.
Made of marine-grade stainless steel for durability, the ice pusher has a retractable cover that
keeps water and falling ice from interfering with the interior mechanism as the pusher moves
forward and back.
The pusher mechanism is totally sealed and can operate in the harshest marine environments,
including the saltwater slurries often favored by sport-fishing captains for keeping fish pristine.
