Elite and AH-Elite Retrofit Kits
(Marine Air Systems)

Click here to view Installation Guide


Product Description

The Elite ™ Environmental Control Unit is a microporcessor-based controller designed for the precise monitoring of marine air conditioning systems, and is now available in retrofit kits for both direct expansion and chilled waterapplications. The Elite Retrofit Kit is used for direct expansion (DX) A/C units, while the AH-Elite Retrofit Kit is used for chilled water (CW) air handlers. All kits utilize the new Passport® I/O circuit board and either DX or CW software. The control operates at 115 or 230 volts, each operable as 50 or 60 cycles.

Elite Retrofit Kits have everything necessary to upgrade existing direct expansion systems. Kits are avaiable to replace the MCP 3-knob, Passport II, ECU and ECU-MAxx controls. Specify either self-contained(SC) or split Centrail System (CS) when ordering.

Each kit contains the Elite display, a Vimar® Black Poly Rondo bezel, the Passport I/O circuit board mounted in a electrical box, alternate air sensor and display cables, wiring harness, operation manual, quick reference card and mounting plate. Specify either a horizontal or vertical mounting plate when replacing an ECU or a 3-knob mechanical control (see illustration).

The AH-Elite Retrofit Kit is used to replace an existing AH-Passport digital display. This kit includes the Elite display, a Vimar Black Poly Rondo bezel, the AH-Passport I/O circuit board mounted in an electrical box, operation manual, quick reference card and mounting plate.

The entire assembly is grounded and protected against static interferance and RF noise. The circuit board is conformally coated to provide component and board protection. Non-volatile memory stores all user-selectable parameters indefinitely during operation or any power failure situation.

The Elite Environmaental Control meets or exceeds applicable ABYC, U.S. Coast Guard Regulations and CE Directives. Please see the Elite specifications sheet L-2237 for more details.
