Soft Start Benefits

The Soft Start board employs a 4-part start ramp sequence that is self-optimizing, resulting in the lowest possible start-up current. It can deliver 65-75% start current reduction as compared to a compressor's LRA (locked-rotor amperage). It is the perfect solution that allows an air conditioner or refrigeration compressor to operate on a generator, inverter, or limited utility power when it would otherwise not have functioned.

- Start your air conditioner without buying a second or bigger generator or inverter. 
- Run 2 air conditioners on a 30-amp cord.
- Sleep with less noise and cool all through the night.
- Run your air conditioner with more appliances at the same time.

Best Marine Air Conditioners? Best Brand, Support & Warranty?

Boaters often wonder which brand makes the best marine air conditioners when looking to install a new unit. 

To be honest, most marine air conditioners from all the major brands are solid and will do the job, as long as they’ve been installed correctly. However, the keyword here is most. You want to improve your odds of being satisfied with your A/C purchase by researching which company’s units have the least number of complaints… and if there is a problem, how that company handles it.

Notes if replacing a Dometic DEU Unit

The CTM CX-24HS 230V Marine Air Conditioning Unit works as an excellent replacement for the Dometic DEU. There are some specs that should be taken into consideration when replacing one of the units previously mentioned. It is also a good replacement unit for the Cruisair RX models, but in the case of the RX units, you will need to replace the evaporators (being that they use R22 / R417A gas and the CX unit and evaporators use R410A)

- Because the CX-24HS split unit comes with the Universal Control board, it will work with the controller you currently have. Supported controllers include: SMXir, Passport I/O, Smart Touch, Elite II. 

- Waterline connections should be the same as the unit you are replacing, the CX unit has a standard 5/8" water connection.

- Dimensions wise the CTM CX is very similar to the above-listed Dometic and Cruisair split gas units, so there shouldn’t be any issues when replacing your current unit with the CX. However, it is recommended that you double-check your current installation space and the CTM CT’s specs in order to avoid any issues when installing.
