There is no wiring diagram of which I am aware either, but the unit does not use the relays as the Colemans do. The diagram on the inside of the cover is not much more detailed.
Have you tried running it with the two vent doors open?If it is short circuiting, that should make it run longer.
It would help to know more about your installation. What was in there and what came out - how you checked it for fit and function etc before deciding to install it. What is the unit you have installed it in, etc. Since the installer did this for you, he should be able to tell you what he did and why he thinks it is working as good as it should.
Like I said, mine works like a champ except for the idiosyncrasies that I mentioned and I had to mess with Intellitec interface as well. Dometic is clearly trying to kill this unit - Atwood had signed an agreement with the designer of the Cormorant and Dometic is being forced to sell it until they can prove that it is not a good product. Unfortunately, their own product (the small one) is pretty poor also and has lots of problems.
I replaced a 7 year old Dometic 15,000 A/C that developed a loud rattle.....At the time the Atwood seemed to be the logical replacement based solely on their advertisements.....false advertisements at that.....As I live in central Florida winter temps are not that harsh so a heat pump seemed the logical replacement...
