The instructions that follow represent years of development of parts and procedures
that make the system perform well and appear “factory-installed.”
INTRODUCTION
INSTALLING THE CONTROL
Mount the control in a place that provides the driver
convenient access. An ideal location would be near
the current HVAC controls.
Required Tools
• Drill motor
• Hole saws: 1-5/8", 1-7/8", 2-1/2", 3.5" (for 10K unit)
and 4"
• Drill bits: 1/8", 5/32", 9/32"
• Nut drivers: 1/4", 3/8", 15/16"
• Phillips head screwdriver
• Open-end wrenches: (2) 7/16", (1 each) 5/16", 13/16"
& 3/4"
• Torque wrench may be also be required
Figure 1. Typical Control Installation
Installing the Qt Digital Display
Refer to the mounting instructions and template
provided with your kit.
• Route the CXP cable through the wall and into the
luggage compartment. Remove the factory HVAC
control panel to do this.
• Route the CXP cable to the rear of the bunk for later
connection.

Mounting the Power Logic Box
The Power Logic Box (PLB) will be mounted under
the rear, center portion of the bunk (see Figure 2). To
accomplish this, rst remove the carpeted panel at
the rear of the bunk. It is held in place by “Christmas
trees” at each corner.
Remove the backing plate from the PLB, by removing
the four machine screws at the bottom (see Figure 3).
Place the backing plate on the front of the bunk
center area, off center toward the passenger side.
Locate the two weldnuts, and place the backing plate
between them. Mark the four mounting holes, and
remove the plate.
Drill four diameter 7/32" holes. Use four #10 machine
screws to mount the box. The easiest way to do this
is to put the machine screws through the holes, and
secure with a nut. Replace the mounting plate onto
the PLB. Slide the PLB behind the bunk, and push

onto the machine screws. Secure the box with four
nuts and lockwashers. KEPS nuts are easiest to use.
Routing Cables
The box has several different types of cables:
• Wires enclosed in split loom
• Flexible power cables
• “Phone” type cables
The “wires in split loom” will go toward the CHEB
unit.
Figure 3. Fastener location on Power Logic Box
The exible power cord(s) will go toward the power
distribution panel.
The phone cable mounted on the CHEB unit plugs
into the hole marked “TSEP.”
The phone cable from the control display plugs into
the hole marked “Display.”
For easier installation, it is recommended that the
cables be placed in the appropriate direction before
mounting the box. All cables should be neatly routed
and clipped, to prevent chafng.

INSTALLING THE RETURN AIR
VENT
The supplied return air vent should be installed under
the bunk in the side panel, either on the passenger or
driver side. The passenger side is recommended as
there is less chance that it will get blocked by objects
in the luggage compartment, and it will also allow
easy access to the refrigerant tting.
To install, locate the area shown in Figure 4.
The grill should be installed between the panel
supports on the backside of the kickpanel. Locate
the supports and cut out for the grill. A holesaw and
reciprocating saw is recommended to cut out the
hole. If your kit contains the 12.5" x 5.5" grills instead
of the 10" x 10" grill, use a 4" holesaw to cut at least
two holes behind each grill. Use of the reciprocating
saw is optional for those grills.
Figure 4. Vent location
INSTALLING THE SUPPLY AIR
DISTRIBUTION
For this installation, a custom air plenum must be
installed, as well as the Volvo ductwork. A 4" duct
will feed the Volvo ductwork, and a 6" (for the 14k
system) or 4" (for the 10k system) will feed the custom
air plenum.
Volvo Ductwork
To feed the Volvo ductwork, remove the passenger
side window footwell and a section of the duct, as
shown in Figure 5 and 6.
The duct is secured from the top by “star” screws.
Below the bunk, there is a sensor which must be
removed. Access the sensor from the passenger
luggage door. Remove the duct from the truck, and
cut a 4" hole into it as shown in Figure 7 & 8.

Locate the V4 RND BLACK 4" grill. Using two cable
ties, secure the vanes so that they will not turn. See
Figure 8a and 8b. Use a length of the supplied weather
stripping under the lip of the grill to prevent air from
leaking after installation. Install the grill from the inside
of the duct, with the vanes pointing upward. Push the
duct and grill back into the hole from which it came.
With assistance from outside the truck, reach into the
luggage compartment and push the length of 4" duct
and one hose clamp over the grill. Push the duct over
the grill until the grill is tight up against the duct, then
tighten the clamp. Replace the duct, and tighten the
screws.
Custom Air Distribution Plenum
Find the metal custom plenum and the passenger
side window footwell.
Locate the four (4) V4 RND BLACK grills and line up
on the window footwell to mark for hole cutting. See
Figure 10. Use a 4" holesaw to cut the holes.
Line the anges of the plenum with the weather strip-
ping. See Figure 9. Place the plenum on the back of
the footwell and secure with the 6-32 screws. Trim the

carpet at the bottom of the plenum duct so that the
carpet will fold up.
Preparing for mounting the foot-
well and air plenum
Before the footwell is mounted back into the truck, the
cut out for the duct must be made to allow the duct
to extend below the bunk surface. Use the template,
as provided in Figure12a or 12b, to cut the hole. Use
a 1/8" bit to drill locator holes from under the bunk.
Go to the passenger side luggage door, and look up
to the rear corner of the bunk. See Figure 11. Find
the metal support that holds the bunk, and drill right
at the edge at the side of the truck, and towards the
rear of the truck.
Re-installing the Footwell
Gently insert the duct into the hole. Direct it down-
ward, while pushing the footwell toward the window.
Once it is all the way down, put the top ange of the
footwell behind the window fascia. Fasten the foot-
well to the wall and oor.
