Elite Environmental Control Unit
(Marine Air Systems)

Click here to view Installation Guide


Product Description

The Elite ™ Environmental Control Unit is a microprocessor based controller designed for the precise monitoring based controller designed for the precise monitoring of split and self-contained direct expansion air conditioning systems in marine environments. The control can also be used with chilled water air handlers and air called AH-Elite in this application. The control operated at 115 or 230 volts, each operable at 50 or 60 cycles.

The new Elite control has a sleek, modern Euro design. It features raised buttons for easy access and control. The mode button is used to scroll through the four modes of operation, simplyfying programming. Decorative snap-on Vimar ® bezels available in Rondo (shown) and Classica styles, in a variety of colors and material to match your vessels interior5. Other Vimar bezel styles are available by special order.

The Elite display operates with the new Passport® I/O circuit board. The new circuit board utilizes state-of-the-art SMT technology. The Elite display is flash programmable, which will allow for future software upgrades without the nees to replace the circuit board.

The assembly has a ground shield to protect against static interference and RF noise. The circuit is conformally coated to provide high resisatance to external damage or corrosion.

A display cable with gold plated phone-type modular jacks connects the panel to the system controller. An optional air sensor cable is connected to the circuti board in the same manner. Non-volatile memory stores all user-selectable parameters indefinitely during operation or any power failure situations. Fused circuits and M.O.V.s (metal oxide varistors) provide component and board protection.

The Elite control meets or exceeds applicable ABYC, U.S. Coast Guard Regulations and CE Directives. Features

  • Automatic humidity control - reduces moisture when the boat is unattended.
  • Cool only, heat only, dehumidify, or automatic mode selection.
  • New heater relay allows for optional electric heat.
  • Temperature displayed in Fahrenheit or Celsius.
  • Multiple fan speed selections - automatic or three manual speeds.
  • Cycle fan with compressor or continuous pump operation.
  • Compressor time delay staging for multiple unit applications.
  • Calibration of fan speed and temperature settings to maintain precise control.
  • Blank display lights when desired.
  • Controls shaded pole and splir capacitor fan motors.
  • Compressor fail-safe protection.
  • Programmable de-icing cycle.
  • New "Pump Sentry" preotects system if seawater pump fails.
  • Built in air sensor for individual cabin heating with chill chasers(AH-Elite).
  • Force open water valves for four hours to bleed system (AH-Elite).
Installation
  • The circuit board and display cable are factory installed in the electrical box.
  • Display panels are mounted with screws for a secure fir. Bezel snaps on, hiding the screws.(5)
  • Easy connections using phone-type modular jacks which are shielded and grounded.
