TECHNICAL MANUAL for IBIS ROOFTOP CARAVAN AIRCONDITIONER ERROR CODES & THEIR MEANING: E1: Room sensor fault. Usually a faulty connection (plug), damaged lead or a faulty sensor itself. Action: Check White plug is connected on main board. Check resistance of thermistor & cable by measuring with a multimeter.
Page 3
Action (continued) If the temp. differential is 14C or more but unit goes out on E4 after approx. 30 minutes, please check the actual thermistor temperature by the following procedure. With the inside fan running on Hi. Press Temp down button followed by the mode button. Hold them both in for approx 5 seconds.

When attempting to diagnose a fault over the phone, please ask the following questions. Also it is usually possible to direct the customer to extract thermistor temp. data as described before. This can make fault finding more accurate. 1: Is or have there been any error codes displayed? 2: Does the display board appear normal? Are temperatures displayed from 16 to 30 C? 3: In heating or cooling modes, can the temperatures be altered via the up /down buttons from 16 to...

Typical faults or complaints 1: Any complaint accompanied with an error code, see earlier pages. 2: Unit will not work and no display is evident. Check the following: Main ECB breaker is set to ON Mains power is OK at output from ECB Is the 4 core control cable plugged into the receiver in the inside plenum? Fig 23 Faulty mains connection at the underside of unit.

If case 3 appears likely, the unit should be reinstalled using a new sealing gasket and following the Aircommand instructions explicity. If there is a roof seam involved, clean the seam area thoroughly and reseal...

with silicone. Please Note: If water “pools” around the airconditioner (ie. The roof has sagged around the airconditioner) then the caravan manufacturer should be consulted. 4: In high humidity areas, condensation may occur on the underside of the evaporator tray above the inside plenum.

Recharging in the field: If the unit has the following deficiencies in cooling mode: Assuming outside temp. is close to 35C and inside 27C 1: The difference in temp. between the inside return air and the discharge air is less than 14C. (inside fan on Hi ) 2: The inside coil temp (as measured with thermistor (see pp 1&2) is more than 14C 3: The suction pressure (measured at access valve see figs 12) is less than 400 Kpa, then...
