Aircommand Sparrow Mk4 Manuel Manuel
Sparrow MK4 General Information
I. PURPOSE
The Aircommand Sparrow air conditioning unit is designed for
installation on the roof of a caravan or recreation vehicle to
provide reverse cycle heating and cooling.
• The roof must be capable of supporting the weight of the
unit (29kg).
• The mechanisms for raising pop-top roofs must be capable
of operating with the added weight of this air-conditioning
unit.
• The absolute minimum thickness of the roof must not be
less than 25mm.
• The maximum thickness of the roof must not exceed
125mm.
• Trimming of the ductwork will be necessary depending on
the roof thickness. You will need to supply longer M8 hold
down bolts if you roof thickness exceeds 85mm.
The unit is not designed to be installed on sleeper cabs of
prime movers although may be suitable in some circumstances.
Warranty will be voided if installed in such circumstances
without the prior approval of Aircommand Australia.
It is important that the unit is installed properly and according
to the recommended guidelines.
Aircommand will not be held responsible for problems
relating to incorrect or improper installation methods.
II. ENSURING EFFECTIVE OPERATION
The effectiveness of the air conditioner is dependent on
several factors that contribute to the total heat load on the
van. When an Aircommand unit is installed in a van or
motorhome Aircommand assumes that the vehicle
manufacturer or owner has properly assessed the potential
heat load and selected the appropriate capacity air-
conditioning unit.
The following actions can be taken to reduce peak heat load
and help the air-conditioner deliver the most comfort:
• Closing all doors, hatches, windows and blinds. Extend all
annexes.
• Position the vehicle so that the annex will face north and
protect the windows from direct radiation.
• Turning off unneeded appliances that might increase the
heat load inside the van.
• Cook outside if possible.
• Park the caravan/RV in a shaded position if possible.
In periods of extreme high temperature it is recommended to
start the air conditioner earlier in the morning to greatly
improve its ability to cope with the expected peak heat load.

III. CONDENSATION
In areas of high humidity, the humid air within the van will
cause "sweating" or condensation in parts of the unit as the
humid, warm air contacts the colder air discharge system. If
this occurs please ensure the following:
• Closing all doors, hatches, windows and blinds to limit the
ingress of warm humid air.
During operation the air conditioner will remove large
quantities of condensate from the inside air which will drain
onto the van roof. The quantity of condensate will be
dependent on the humidity in the air. Avoid running the inside
fan on LO or AUTO in such conditions. Running the fan on HI
fan speed will result in higher airfl ow and reduce the tendency
to have condensation form.
Aircommand will not be held responsible for damage caused
by condensation.
IV. GENERATORS
The Sparrow Mk4 is designed to run using mains power,
however many owners may want to use portable generators
to run them when in remote locations. Any generator used
should deliver high quality, pure sine wave, alternating current
at 50Hz, and be able to handle the compressor start up
demand. Given the vast range
in quantity and quality of generators on the market,
Aircommand cannot recommend a specifi c model or brand.
Discuss your specifi c requirements with the generator supplier
directly and consider their recommendations.
Aircommand will not be held responsible for damages due to
the use of improper generators and such use may void your
warranty.
