Honeywell L6064A User Manual

L6064A
Universal Two Speed Fan and Limit Controllers

PRODUCT DATA

APPLICATION

These combination warm air fan and limit controllers
are suitable for all types of forced air heating systems.
The controllers have 2 switches with 3 individually ad­justable set points. One switch opens the limit circuit if
the plenum temperature exceeds the preset safety limit;
most models reset automatically. The other switch
changes fan speeds. On all the L6064 the fan speed is
switched from low to high and vice versa according to
the plenum temperature. The fan speed is switched to
low if the plenum temperature falls below the fan off set
point. All the L6064 models are intended for use with
conventional warm air systems.
All models may be used as limit controls by wiring only
the limit side.
Limit controls are suitable for line voltage, low volt­age, or millivoltage circuits.

INSTALLATION
When installing this product...

1. Read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow
them could damage the product or cause a hazardous
condition.

2. Check the ratings given in the instructions and on
the product to make sure the product is suitable for your
application.

3. Installer must be a trained, experienced service
technician.

4. After installation is complete, check out product
operation as provided in these instructions.

Follow furnace or burner manufacturer’s instruc­tions, if available. Do not exceed the ratings and limi­tations given in this section.

ELECTRICAL RATINGS:
NOTE: The electrical rating is at maximum case tem-

perature of 88

O

C (190OF). Use high temperature insu­lating material, or a mounting bracket when mounting
surface temperature exceeds 88OC (190OF).

CAUTION

!

1. Disconnect power supply before beginning in­stallation to prevent electrical shock or equipment
damage.

2. When connecting cable or conduit to control,
avoid straining the control case.

LOCATION

If this is a replacement installation, locate the
L6064 in the same location as the control being re­placed. The L6064 sensing tube length should be
the same as the old control. If this is a new installa­tion, the element should be installed only by a
trained, experienced service technician according
to the furnace manufacturer’s instructions. The ele­ment must not touch any internal part of the furnace.

MOUNTING

The device may be mounted as follows:
All models -- Surface or Bracket.

SURFACE MOUNTING

Hole in plenum should be just large enough to
accommodate the 20 mm (3/4 in.) diameter element
tube.

1. Remove cover by squeezing sides and pulling
off. Insert element in plenum and mark location of
mounting holes. Make sure the case is snug against
the plenum before marking the mounting holes.

2. Punch or drill holes for mounting screws.

3. Place insulation between plenum and case if
necessary, or use a mounting bracket.

4. Fasten controller securely with mounting
screws.

90OC field wiring may be required.
NOTE: For applications under DIN or BEAB juris­diction ambient temperatures must not exceed

O

70

C (158OF).

RIGID BRACKET MOUNTING

All models of the L6064 may be mounted using a
rigid bracket. The rigid bracket requires a hole 20
mm (3/4 in.) diameter for mounting.

1. Use bracket as a template to mark the location
of mounting holes in plenum. Drill or punch holes for
mounting screws.

2. Fasten bracket in place with screws furnished.
Tighten the screws securely.

3. Insert element tube through bracket, straighten
controller, and fasten by tightening setscrew.

WARNING

!

Be sure screw strikes tube frame and does not strike
inner sensing element.

WIRING

Disconnect power supply before beginning installation
to prevent electrical shock and equipment damage.
All wiring must comply with local electrical codes and
ordinances. See Fig. 5 for typical hookups.

1. To remove the slotted knockouts, bend down and
break off with a long hose pliers. See Fig. 3.

Fig. 3 - Removing slotted knockouts.

2. Pass wires through bushing before connecting.

3. Connect wire to push-in terminals, and insert the
bushing into knockout slot.

PUSH-IN TERMINALS

1. No. 14, 16, or 18 solid or No. 14 or 16 fused stranded

wire may be connected to the terminals.

2. Strip insulation from wires the distance shown by
the strip guage on the controller.

3. Solid or solder dipped wire may be inserted by push­ing into the terminal holes. If stranded wire is used, in­sert a small screwdriver into the slot next to the termi­nal. Push in and hold while inserting wire in terminal.
Then remove screwdriver.

All wires must be clear of rotating scaleplate.

OPERATION

During normal operation, the L6064 sensing element
will rotate and close the fan switch for high speed once
plenum temperature reaches the factory-set fan on set
point.

SETTINGS AND ADJUSTMENTS

CAUTION

!

When adjusting the fan and limit setting levers, hold
the scalepale dial to keep it from turning and straining
the sensing element.

Move the setting levers to the control points recom­mended by the burner or furnace manufacturer. Use
gentle finger pressure.

1. Move the FAN OFF (continuous low speed) setting
lever to the temperature at which the fan is to run low
speed for continuous air circulation.
All L6064 models - FAN ON (heating fan speed) range
is from 8.3

O

C (15OF) above the FAN OFF (continuous
low speed) setting to 17OC (30OF) below the LIMIT OFF
setting.

2. Move the LIMIT setting lever to the temperature at
which the high limit switch is to break the primary con­trol circuit.
All L6064 models - limit range is 35

O

to 250

LIMIT SETTING ADJUSTMENT

These controllers have a limit stop which prevents the
limit indicator lever from being adjusted beyond the equip­ment manufacturer’s specifications.

1. Push the small end of Limit Adjust Tool (196722)
through hole in scaleplate (located at caution marking) to
depress the stop disc not more than 1/16 in. (1.6 mm) to
release stop lock (Fig. 10). Stop disc is on back of
scaleplate.

2. While depressing the stop disc, insert the long end of
Limit Adjust Tool next to limit stop (Fig. 10) and move the
stop to desired setting.

If the L4064 is a replacement con­trol, high limit stop setting should be the same as that of
the control being replaced.

(Move stop clockwise to
lower the setting, counterclockwise to raise it.) Then
remove the limit stop adjust tool.

3. Set the LIMIT OFF lever to the temperature at which
the high limit switch is to open to stop the burner. If the
high limit stop has been properly set, the LIMIT OFF lever
should be as high as the stop permits.

CHECKOUT

Always conduct a thorough checkout immediately follow­ing completion of the installation. Operate the system
through at least one complete cycle to ensure that the sys­tem operates as intended, especially with respect to the
proper function of the limit control.
The recommended method of checking out the limit con­trol function without disturbing any of the furnace manu­facturer’s fan or limit settings is as follows:

1. To stimulate fan motor failure, a broken fan belt, or a
plugged filter, remove the belt driving the fan. On direct
drive fans disconnect the wiring to the fan motor - at the
motor terminal panel - and insulate any live conductors
which might result.

2. Turn the thermostat to the highest setting to ensure
that the burner will run continuously.

3. Watch the operation of the furnace to be sure that
the limit control shuts off the burner when the plenum tem­perature reaches the limit setting, and that the fan motor
continues to operate. On direct drive fans check to be
sure that voltage is evident on the disconnected leads to
the fan motor when the limit stops the burner.

4. If the installation checks out satisfactorily, replace the
fan belt-or reconnect any direct drive fan wiring-and lower
the thermostat temperature adjustment to the normal set­ting.

5. If the installation does not check out satisfactorily,
recheck the wiring, correct any wiring discrepancies, and
repeat items 1 through 4. If the installation cannot be made
to function properly DO NOT LEAVE THE FURNACE
OPERATIONAL, PARTICULARLY IF THE LIMIT OR FAN
CONTROLS DO NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY. RE­MOVE THE FUSE IN THE CIRCUIT POWERING THE
FURNACE until assistance can be enlisted to correct the
installation.
