I. INTRODUCTION
OVERVIEW
THANK YOU FOR PURCHASING THE ALLIANCE TRUCK CLIMATE SYSTEM. This ALLIANCE system is an auxiliary power system that provides air conditioning, heating, 115-volts, and 12-volts to the truck. This system draws diesel fuel from the truck main tank and operates like any small diesel engine. This system operates independently of the front engine and other air conditioning and heating systems on the truck. The engine drives a generator and a/c compressor. The generator provides 3480 watts of 115-volt electricity to run various appliances in the truck. Included is a 40-amp battery charger, which keeps the batteries in full charge condition while the system is operating. The compressor provides refrigerant flow to the a/c cooling unit on the inside of the cabin. Hot water from the small diesel engine is circulated though a heating coil in a/c heat unit to supply warm air in the cabin. The system temperature is monitored by a thermostat and provides comfortable climate control inside the truck during all seasons.
SYSTEM COMPONENTS
The system is shipped in five packages. Each of these packages should contain a packing list, which describes all the parts it contains. These packages should be opened prior to starting the installation and the contents checked using the packing list included as a guide. These packages contain the following: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

SAFETY ISSUES
WARNING
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING: THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS LEAD, A CHEMICAL KNOWN TO THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO CAUSE CANCER AND BIRTH DEFECTS AND OTHER REPRODUCTIVE HARM.
EXHAUST
Inhalation of gas containing carbon monoxide may cause severe personal injury and/or death. Anyone suspected of suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning should be removed from the hazardous area and be given medical assistance immediately.
FUEL/ BATTERIES
Use extreme caution when working near fuel-filled equipment. Do not operate equipment during engine fueling operations. Use eye protection when working near batteries, which contain acid and can explode. Do not smoke or use open flames near batteries. It is recommended to remove all metal jewelry from hands and wrists while working on electrical components. Jewelry shorting out on these circuits can cause severe burns.
ELECTRICAL
Electrical shock can cause severe personal injury, burns, and death. Before working on any unit, disconnect the batteries. Use only approved materials and methods when working on the electrical system, and follow local electrical codes. Never work on the generator box when standing on wet surfaces or when the engine is running. A licensed electrician should oversee all work on wiring which conducts 115 volts a/c.
MOVING PARTS
Moving parts can cause severe injury or death. Before working on any unit, shut it off and wait for it to cool down. Do not start until all protective covers have been replaced. Loose parts or tools falling into rotating machinery can cause severe injury or death. Be sure all parts and belts are tight and properly torqued prior to starting the engine. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry while working on the unit.
MISUSE
This generator system is designed to provide electrical power for heating and cooling trucks in normal on-road conditions. Never use the generator to power critical medical or sensitive electronic equipment without manufactures written approval.
REFRIGERANT HANDLING
Do not vent R-134a into the atmosphere; all refrigerants must be recovered according to Federal law. When handling refrigerants always wear safety goggles for eye protection.

FIGURE 15 The preferred location is just in front of the passenger side rear wheels, see figure 14. This places the unit where the least noise reaches the driver and is usually clear of side tanks. The second choice is just in front of the drivers side rear wheels. The third choice is under the passenger door. But, under the passenger door usually requires the addition of an optional lower step (P/N 087-00290) available from SCS TRUCK CLIMATE SYSTEMS. Also under the passenger door requires routing the exhaust to a location at least two feet behind the sleeper according to DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION LEGISLATION. The last location available may be on the fifth wheel catwalk between the frame rails and behind the sleeper. If catwalk location is chosen, remember to allow plenty of room for trailer clearance while the trailer is turning, and at least six inches clearance between the unit and the back of the sleeper. The engine noise will be the greatest inside the sleeper from this location.
- 14 -
FIGURE 16 The preferred location is on the passenger side under the bunk. Many of the truck manufacturers use this area to mount their rear air, and it is unavailable. The second choice is the center storage area under the bunk. The third choice is under the bunk on the drivers side. Once the location has been decided, check carefully the items above before beginning installation.
LOCATING THE 115 VOLT BREAKER BOX AND OUTLETS (See Figure 15)
The breaker box must be located inside the sleeper underneath the bunk. It should be located near a door so when the driver wants to use shore power, the short extension with the male plug can be plugged into the shore power line. The battery charger is usually located near the breaker box so it can be plugged into the outlet on the side of the breaker box. The two outlet boxes connected by cords to the breaker box are to be located on the front wall of the bunk or on exterior walls of the closets or cabinets. Try to locate the outlets so they are not subject to being accidentally kicked during routine movement in the sleeper area.

3. Next check out the route path from the engine to the surge tank. The hose from the engine to the surge tank is three-quarter inch in diameter and will require a minimum bending radius of eight inches. 4. Checking the water circuit diagram. Note the water Y between the a/c-heat unit and the surge tank, and plan the approximate location for installation. A WATER VALVE ASSEMBLY is shown on the circuit diagram and must be located within three feet of the engine to connect to the wiring on the back of the engine unit. Read the note on the bottom right corner of the circuit diagram. Insulation tubing one inch I.D, forty foot in length, can be purchased at most local hardware stores or from SCS TRUCK CLIMATE SYSTEMS (part number 045-00154 is eight foot in length). During very cold weather (below 20 degs) a lot of heat is lost through the coolant hoses to the atmosphere, the insulation will support much warmer air in the sleeper.
REFRIGERANT HOSES
1. Inspect the back of the unit and locate the #10 (suction) hose fitting and the #6 (liquid) hose fitting on the receiver drier tank (see figure 25) 2. Make certain when the unit is mounted, the #10 and # 6 hoses can be coupled to these fitting without interference with rails, tank, or other objects. 3. Check the routing path from engine location to the A/C - Heat Unit for adequate hose length and hose routing. 4. The #10 hose will require a six inch bending radius. The #6 hose will require a four inch bending radius. 5. Adequate slack in the hoses must be left beneath the A/C - Heat Unit to allow for cabin to rail movement over rough terrain. 6. All refrigerant hoses should be routed at least 10 inches away from hot exhaust components.
- 16 -
FUEL LINES NOTE: NEVER ROUTE FUEL LINES WITH ELECTRICAL WIRING. FUEL LINES PRESENT THE THREAT
OF FIRE IF THEY ARE RUPTURED. USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN ROUTING TO PREVENT RUBBING AND CHAFFING OF THE FUEL LINES. The fuel lines should route out of the engine unit through the upper opening near the a/c compressor. Determine the route from the engine unit to the fuel tank to be used. Keep fuel lines at least ten inches away from all truck exhaust and muffler components. There are two fuel lines, a supply to the pump, and a return to the tank. Do not use separate tanks for these lines or one tank may be drained while the other tank may overfill.
ELECTRICAL WIRING
The electrical wiring should be routed out the upper opening of the engine unit nearest the generator. Avoid routing wiring near moving parts and over sharp edges, which may cause chaffing. All electrical wiring should be routed at least ten inches away from all exhaust and muffler parts. When routing through holes in metal, the wiring should be protected by the use of grommets. Remember to leave some slack in the harness when routing from the frame to the cabin to account for cab suspension and bounce over rough terrain. Stretch the extension harness from the engine to the a/c-heat unit locations along the chosen path and check for adequate length. Stretch the control harness from the control location to the a/c-heat unit along the chosen path for adequate length. Check the battery cable length and routing from the battery box to the engine unit. Check the battery cable length and routing from the battery box to the battery charger.

NOTE: Use only a stable lifting device. The engine unit weighs over two hundred and fifty pounds (250lbs), and could cause severe personal injury if dropped on an individual.
2.
Finalize the location of the unit to the vehicle. If the unit is to be located behind a fairing now is the time to confirm the unit will fit behind the fairing and any modifications that might be required to refit the fairing back to the truck. The cover of the unit must be removable on a daily basis for engine service. Refer to figure17 for possible mounting bracket configurations. Remove or adjust any equipment on the vehicle that will interfere with the installation, such as wheel fenders, fairings, fasteners, or studs. If there is room it is best to mount the engine box so that it is located below the bottom of the rail and tucked under the rail as far a possible. The fan on the unit must have plenty of room to move the air, and cannot be exposed to high temperatures from mufflers and exhaust systems.
3.
NOTE: LATER PRODUCTION MODELS MAY HAVE PRE-DRILLED HOLES IN THE MAIN L-CHANNELS AND ENGINE BOX. 4. Fit the main mounting brackets (3x4 inch L-channel, 2 each) to the box and secure them using the two c-clamps. Check that the top will still fit correctly on the box. Check to see that the box and brackets fit to the truck as planned. Mark the brackets if any excess is protruding above the rail. Look into the box and make sure that three bolt holes spread between the bottom and top of the engine box can be drilled without damage to components. Be sure the fasteners can be reached with wrenches on both ends after being placed through the holes to be drilled. Mark the locations for three holes to be drilled on each bracket. Drill a pilot hole through each center marked on the bracket and the engine box side (match or line drill) using a one-quarter inch (1/4) diameter drill.

10. Remove the brackets from the unit and saw off the portion that extended above the rail. 11. Replace the brackets on the unit using the quarter inch (1/4)drill for perfect alignment and secure using c-clamps. 12, Drill each pilot hole out with a one half-inch (1/2) diameter drill (three holes on each side). 13 Secure each bracket to the unit using three each (1/2x1-3/4 in) bolts, washers and nylock nuts. Torque these bolts and nuts to sixty (60) foot-pounds. Move the unit to its mounting position on the frame rail. If any OEM holes are going to be used, align the bracket and mark the bracket through the holes to be used.
14. Mark both brackets with two holes centered on the bracket and a minimum of five and one half inches (5-1/2) apart. 15. Remove the unit and pilot drill the locations with a one-quarter inch (1/4) diameter drill.

RETURN AIR GRILLE FIGURE 18 1. Locate one of the gray louver towers from the duct kit for test fitting. Refer to figure 18 for clarification. The towers are usually put in the corners of the sleeper area. The front corners are also used if the rear corners are unavailable. Attempt to locate the towers so the discharged air will not blow on the control panel. Air discharged from the towers onto the control panel will give the thermostat a false reading and the unit controls will not function properly. Remember, the towers are easily cut off to adjust their height to different trucks. Plan on the lower tower adaptor being in place and the area for the three-inch diameter hose hooking up. Check to be sure the bunk can be raised and lowered without interfering with the ductwork. Plan on how the flex duct will be routed to the towers. The shorter and straighter the path of the flex duct the better the unit will perform. One round ball louver is supplied to be placed in the forward wall of the bunk area. When locating the point of installation consider what must be done to route the air duct to this louver. The return air grille supplies air to the inlet of the a/c-heat unit. It must be located on the wall that separates the a/c-heat from the main cabin area. - 22 -
