Introduction In August 2003 Brivis introduced the new 3 series Contour cooler and also a lesser featured contour was also introduced called the Brivis Profiler. The Brivis Profiler cooler was introduced to offer a budget model Contour to meet market demand.
Page 4
Brivis Advance The Brivis Advance was introduced in 2005 and is designed to take the place of the AD range of units up to Model AD56. However, the AD76 and AD86 will remain in production. In essence the Advance is a square shaped Contour/Profile, which sits upon the same base frame as the Contour/Profiler.

The Version 9A controllers can be identified by the marking "9A" on the box. Action: Technicians, when attending any 3 series cooler (Brivis Profiler or Contour), need to complete these steps: Identify the version of controller in the cooler and replace all N-E5 controls (version 7, 8 or 9) with the new version "9A"...
Page 8
Action: Service technicians are required to perform this action when attending any 3 series Contour or Profiler. This action should only be performed on 1 or 2 series Contour coolers if they exhibit the above symptoms. The installation of a modified water sensor should be carried according to the installation instructions.

Cooler Operation (cont.) ServoSeal and Drain Valve Operation Contour and Profiler Coolers have a new and unique mechanism, to drain and empty the Cooler's tank and simultaneously close off the duct (Contours only), at the end of use. The ServoSeal is a set of adjustable louvers constructed in the Contour's base, which are driven closed and prevent heat loss from the building, when the unit is not in use.

Trident Water Management System The Contour Cooler's tank water level is regulated, by turning ON and OFF the water inlet solenoid as required, according to the operating conditions. After the initial filling, at which point the water inlet solenoid turns OFF, the Cooler looses tank water volume due to evaporation, in the normal course of the unit's operation.
