Peterbilt 379 Installation Guidelines LOCATING THE COMPONENTS The Dometic remote auxiliary air conditioning system consists of two basic components: an outside condensing unit, which contains the condenser and an exhaust fan, and an inside unit, which contains the compressor, heater, evaporator and blower (CHEB). The two units are connected by precharged refrigerant lines with quick-connect fittings. Determine where best to install the CHEB (Fig. 1). Refer to the manual that came with t

Peterbilt 379 Installation Guidelines INSTALLING THE CONTROL Installing the Control/Display Panel Control mounted Mount the control in such a location as to give the driver good access. The suggested location would be near the current HVAC controls, however, that may be very tough on some models (Figs. 3a-3b).

Peterbilt 379 Installation Guidelines Installing the Power Logic Box The Power Logic Box (PLB) is commonly mounted on the front wall of the driver’s side luggage box (Fig. 4). The PLB should be mounted in a relatively accessible location, within about 4 feet of the CHEB unit. The PLB comes with a mounting plate for mounting to a vertical surface.

Peterbilt 379 Installation Guidelines INSTALLING THE RETURN AIR VENT The supplied return air vent(s) should be installed under the bunk, in the same area where the CHEB will be mounted. Your package may contain either one large grill with a mounting frame or two smaller 12.5" x 5.5" surface-mount grills. We suggest using a hole saw and reciprocating saw to cut out the hole for the large grill. If you received the two 12.5" x 5.5" grills instead of the one large grill, use a 4" hole saw t

Depend- ing on the capacity of the system, you may have two or three vents supplied. You must use all vents supplied with the kit to get the rated air flow out of the system. This kit comes with a duct combiner that allows one 4" duct to be vented into the truck’s pre-existing air distribution system. Find the combiner (Fig. 9), and mount to the bottom of the plas
