INSPECTION
As soon as a coil is received, it should be checked to insure it is still
under pressure per Figure 2. The coil should be inspected for possible
damage during transit. If damage is evident, the extent of the damage
should be noted on the carrier’s freight bill. A separate request for
inspection by the carrier’s agent should be made in writing. The Local
Distributor should be consulted for more information. The drain pan
should be checked for cracks or breakage. Before installation, the unit
should be checked for screws or bolts which may have loosened in
transit. There are no internal shipping or spacer brackets that need to
be removed.
It should be verified that all accessories such as heater kits are
available. Installation of these accessories or field conversion of the unit
should be accomplished before setting the unit in place or connecting

NOTICE
The position identifier for the coil slide rail is embossed into the back
corner vertical angle of the cabinet structure. There are four position
identifiers: 1, 2, 3, or 4. The numbered attachment location can differ
from unit to unit due to the cabinet height of the air handler. After
removal and re-installation, the coil slide rail must be installed in the
same numbered position that it was originally.
4. Note the numbered position of the coil slide rail located at the upper
right hand side of the indoor coil compartment. Remove slide rail
from air handler cabinet by removing front screw and lowering
bracket down to disengage hook on back of slide rail.
5. Turn air handler cabinet upside down (downflow position).

NOTICE
When installing a coil condensate deflector, make sure that each
notch in the coil condensate deflector slides around the anchor screw
with the bottom of the notch fully set against the screw.
Ensure that the coil condensate deflector is installed with the flange
bending away from the coil delta plate.
8. For horizontal right applications, install front and back coil condensate deflectors (condensate deflectors shipped as loose parts with
the unit). Locate 4 screws securing coil delta plates to coil drain
pan. Loosen the screws. Slide each coil condensate deflector
between the drain pan and the coil delta plate. Tighten screws to
securely anchor coil condensate deflectors. Refer to Figure 6.

Handling Coil Assemblies when Removed from Casing
When the coil assembly is removed from its casing, it must be handled
in such a manner that does not compromise the foam gasket that seals
the attachment point of the horizontal drain pan and primary drain pan.
DO NOT position the coil so that the coil weight rests on the horizontal
drain pan. By doing so, the horizontal drain pan straps could deform or
become damaged which will not allow the pan to be positioned/angled
correctly when the unit is horizontally installed, and if the foam gasket
that seals the attachment point becomes compromised by the movement of the horizontal drain pan, condensate may leak at this point and
cause damage to the unit/property.
Positioning the Unit in Horizontal Applications
Set unit so that it is sloped 1/4” towards the drain plug.
A0417-001
A0417-002
AVC60C Downflow or Horizontal Right
The AVC60C model contains a unique coil assembly in that additional
pieces are required to be installed in horizontal right and downflow
applications to reduce the potential for condensate blow-off. The large
cooling capacity and high volumetric airflow (1800 CFM and above)
required for these coils put them more at risk of condensate blow-off.
The installation of additional shields should mitigate condensate management issues while allowing the coil to perform adequately for proper
cooling/heating.
When installing any of the shield provisions, it is advised to position the
coil such that the primary drain pan opening can be easily accessed to
attach the shields. See Figure 7.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT position the loose coil so that it rests on the
horizontal drain pan. The weight of the coil will deform the horizontal
pan straps, and the movement of the horizontal pan could potentially
compromise the foam gasket that seals the horizontal drain pan to the
primary drain pan. This could lead to water leaking at this attachment
point and damaging the insulation/cabinet/property.

1. Attach the additional condensate deflectors that were included in
the loose parts kit to the coil assembly by loosening the screws that
secure the front and rear delta plates to the primary drain pan. DO
NOT remove the screws completely. Loosen them enough so that
you can insert the deflectors between the drain pan and the delta
plate.
IMPORTANT: FOR 60C (21.0”) COIL ASSEMBLIES: While the
shields may appear similar, they are actually different in that there is a
front and rear shield. Due to their asymmetry, these shields will not fit
correctly if they are oriented incorrectly. See Figure 9 for details.

Upflow or Downflow Applications (All Models)
NOTICE
For maximum performance, if an air handling unit is being installed in
Upflow or Downflow orientation, it is recommended that the horizontal
drain be removed from the assembly. This can be achieved by removing the horizontal drain pan support straps, cutting the foam gasket
that seals the attachment point of the horizontal drain pan and primary drain pan, and removing the entire horizontal drain pan assembly.
AVC60C Downflow Conversion
1. Rotate equipment cabinet so that the bottom of the primary (plastic)
drain pan can be accessed.
2. Locate the downflow condensate shield (as shown in Figure 11)
and foam gasket strip shipped in the loose parts kit included with
the coil.
A1073-001
FIGURE 11: Condensate Shield
3. Install the condensate shield to the primary drain pan (as shown in
Figure 8). There should be an identical condensate shield that was
factory installed on the opposite side of the primary drain pan.
4. Apply the foam gasket strip to the condensate shield evenly so that
it covers the condensate shield and primary drain pan.
Horizontal Left Applications (All Models)
NOTICE
For horizontal left applications, high airflow can prevent the collected
condensate from draining properly since the direction of the airflow
opposes the direction of the draining condensate. The horizontal pan
must be angled properly in order to ensure proper drainage in high
airflow applications. Ensure that the pan is angled properly by checking that the correct hole is used on the pan straps per TABLE 2. Use
FIGURE 5 to identify the FRONT and REAR straps since, in some
cases, these settings are not the same.
The vast majority of problems encountered with heating and cooling
systems can be linked to improperly designed or installed duct systems.
It is therefore highly important to the success of an installation that the
duct system be properly designed and installed.
When installing a central air return grille in or near the living space, it is
advisable to design the duct work so that the grille is not in direct line
with the opening in the unit. One or two elbows and acoustical duct liner
assures a quieter system. Operation where return air duct is short or
where sound may be a problem, acoustical duct liner should be used
inside the duct. Use flexible duct connectors to minimize the
transmission of vibration/noise into the conditioned space.
!
WARNING
Do not bring in return air from a location which could introduce hazardous substances into the airflow.
Use 1/2” screws to connect duct work to cabinet. If pilot holes are
drilled, drill only through field duct and unit flange.
Insulation of duct work is a must where it runs through an unheated
space during the heating season or through an uncooled space during
the cooling season. The use of a vapor barrier is recommended to
prevent absorption of moisture from the surrounding air into the
insulation.
The supply air duct should be properly sized by use of a transition to
match unit opening. All ducts should be suspended using flexible
hangers and never fastened directly to the structure.
Duct work should be fabricated and installed in accordance with local
and/or national codes. This includes the standards of the National Fire
Protection Association for Installation of Air-Conditioning and
Ventilating Systems, NFPA No. 90B. Duct systems should be designed
in accordance with the Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA)
– Manual D.
!
CAUTION
This unit is not designed for non-ducted (freeblow) applications. Do
not operate without duct work attached to unit.
Equipment should never be operated without filters.
Use flexible duct collars to minimize the transmission of vibration/noise
into the conditioned space. If electric heat is used, non-flammable
material must be used.
All ducts should be suspended using flexible hangers and never
fastened directly to the structure.
HORIZONTAL SUSPENSION
These air handlers may be suspended in horizontal applications. It is
recommended to use angle steel support brackets with minimum 3/8”
threaded rods, supporting the unit from the bottom. Attach the threaded
rods at the locations shown in the Figure 12, leaving enough clearance
between door and rod so that doors maybe easily removed for service.
Air handling units are supplied ready to be installed in a horizontal left
position. A horizontal drain pan is factory installed. If horizontal right
application, refer to the horizontal right conversion before proceeding.
See sections on “Refrigerant Line Connections” and “Condensate Drain
Connections” for further installation instruction.
SECTION IV: DUCT WORK AND
DO NOT lift air handler by the cabinet brace. The cabinet brace is
held in place by the coil channel. The cabinet brace could become
disengaged from the cabinet causing the air handler to fall, potentially
causing injury or damaging property. See Figure 1 for location of cabinet braces.
!
CAUTION
CONNECTIONS
Air supply and return may be handled in one of several ways best
suited to the installation. Upflow, horizontal or downflow applications
may be used.
When assembling the support structure, make sure to size to provide
clearance for access door removal.

bag. With the screws from the parts bag, install one of the duct flanges.
Duct flanges have holes on both legs with one leg longer than the other.
The longer leg can be used to mate against the air handler so that
different thicknesses of duct board can be made flush with the outer
surface of the air handler. Repeat the procedure for the other two
flanges. Refer to Figure 13. If the flanges are not used, they may be
discarded.

UNIT CONNECTIONS
There are several ways to handle the supply and return air duct
connections. The location and sizing of the connections depends on the
situation and the method best suited to the installation. Upflow,
horizontal or downflow applications may be used.
The supply air duct should be properly sized by use of a transition to
match unit opening. Refer to Table 1 for air handler unit inlet and outlet
dimensions.
!
CAUTION
Use 1/2” screws to connect duct work to unit. Longer screws will
pierce the drain pan and cause leakage. If pilot holes are drilled, drill
only though field duct and unit bottom duct flange.
Duct work that is not designed to match the supply air opening can
cause turbulence inside the plenum. This turbulence can change the air
flow patterns across the electric heater limit switches. If the factory
suggested transition cannot be fabricated, it is recommended that a
block off plate (approximately 8" high and running the full width of the
plenum) be attached to the supply opening. Refer to Figure 14 as a
visual aid. The use of this block off plate will enable better air circulation
across the limit switches.
AIR FILTERS
Return air filters are required and must be field supplied. Filtration can
be accomplished external to the unit or the integral filter rack may be
used. A 1" filter access rack has been built into the unit. Remove filter
access cover shown. Install proper size filter. Standard 1" size
permanent or throw away filter may be used, or permanent washable
filters are available using model numbers: 1PF0601, 602 or 603. See
Table 7 for filter size.

A piston or a TXV is to be installed in the field. There is an installation
manual that comes with the TXV kit. It is recommended to install the
piston or TXV kit prior to installation of coil and brazing of line set. Until
brazing is completed and cooled, the TXV sensing bulb must not be
installed.
The outdoor technical guide for outdoor units should be consulted for
required piston or TXV on the indoor coil. The piston and the Schrader
core are supplied with the outdoor unit. When the piston is used instead
of the TXV, the Schrader core is installed in the suction line equalizer
connection port and is capped with the supplied plastic cap. The
Schrader core must not be installed if the TXV is installed, because the
TXV equalizer line attaches to the equalizer connection port.

CAUTION
COIL UNDER PRESSURE.
Verify that pressure has been released by depressing schrader valve
core.
The coil requires a metering device to be added.
See outdoor unit documentation for correct TXV or piston to be used.
NOTICE
To prevent moisture and contaminates from entering the system, the
coil should not be open to atmosphere for extended periods of time. If
the coil cannot be brazed into the refrigeration system during a routine installation period, the ends should be temporarily closed or
plugged. For a short term delay, use masking tape over the ends of
the copper tubing to close the tube from the air. For a longer term
delay, use plugs or caps. There is no need to purge the coil if this procedure is followed.

CAUTION
Coil is under inert gas pressure. Relieve pressure from coil by
depressing Schrader core at end of suction manifold stub out.
!
CAUTION
Dry nitrogen should always be supplied through the tubing while it is
being brazed, because the temperature required is high enough to
cause oxidation of the copper unless an inert atmosphere is provided.
The flow of dry nitrogen should continue until the joint has cooled.
Always use a pressure regulator and safety valve to insure that only
low pressure dry nitrogen is introduced into the tubing. Only a small
flow is necessary to displace air and prevent oxidation.

NOTICE
Route the refrigerant lines to the coil in a manner that will not obstruct
service access to the coil, air handling system, furnace flue or filter.
1. Suction and liquid line connections are made outside the cabinet.
Leave the tubing connection panel attached to the cabinet. Coil
access panel should be removed for brazing. The lines are
expanded to receive the field line set tubes for most outdoor unit
matches.
2. Remove grommets where tubes exit the cabinet to prevent burning
them during brazing. In some units, the vapor line grommet may be
shipped as a loose part with the unit. Refer to Figure 21.
3. Cut the end of the suction tube using a tube cutter. Place the tube
cutter as close as possible to the end of the tube to allow as much
depth as possible for the connection and brazing of the suction line.
To ensure suction line fits into connection, deburr the stub out
(including inner pressure protrusion from cutting).
4. If coil does not have a factory installed TXV, install the required size
piston or TXV kit. See coil metering devices section for detailed
instructions.
5. If the coil does have a factory installed TXV, remove the liquid line
copper cap which is soft soldered onto the outside of the 3/8” stub
protruding from front of the coil cabinet tubing panel as follows:
a.Screw a sheet metal screw into the center of the cap.
b.Apply a small amount of heat to the cap while pulling on the
screw using slip joint pliers.
6. Insert liquid and suction lines into the coil connections at the coil
cabinet tubing panel.
7. Wrap a water soaked rag around the coil connection tubes inside
the cabinet to avoid transferring excess heat to the coil or TXV.
8. Purge refrigerant lines with dry nitrogen.

SECTION VII: CONDENSATE DRAIN
CONNECTIONS
All drain lines should be trapped a minimum of three inches, should be
pitched away from unit drain pan and should be no smaller than the coil
drain connection.
!
CAUTION
DO NOT use TeflonTM tape, pipe thread compound, or other
sealants. The use of a sealant may cause damage and premature
failure of the drain pan.
Threaded drain connection should be hand-tightened, plus no more
than 1 turn.
Avoid Double Trapping of a single drain line.
Route the drain line so that it does not interfere with accessibility to the
coil, air handling system or filter and will not be exposed to freezing
temperatures. See Figures 29 & 30 for drain connection locations.
NOTICE
All indoor coil connections are copper-to-copper and should be
brazed with a phosphorous-copper alloy material such as Silfos-5 or
equivalent. DO NOT use soft solder.
9. Braze the suction and liquid lines, and allow the joints to cool.
10. Route the TXV sensing bulb through suction line opening.
11. Secure sensing bulb and equalizer line capillary tubes with nylon
cable ties to prevent leaks from tubes rubbing.
12. If piston is used, install Schrader core into suction header, and reinstall cap.
13. Re-attach the grommets to the lines carefully to prevent air leakage. In some units, the vapor line grommet may be shipped as a
loose part with the unit. Refer to Figure 21.
14. Attach the coil access panel to the cabinet.
15. Refer to Outdoor unit Installation Manual, and accomplish evacuation, leak check and charging instructions. Check all field brazed
joints and metering device connections.
16. Ensure lines are sound isolated by using appropriate hangers or
strapping.
!
CAUTION
When the unit is installed in an attic or above a finished ceiling, an
auxiliary drain pan should be provided under the coil as specified by
most local building codes. When this exterior secondary drain pan is
used that drain should be piped to a location that will give the occupant a visual warning that the primary drain is clogged.
If the coil is provided with a secondary drain it should be piped to a
location that will give the occupant a visual warning that the primary
drain is clogged. If a secondary drain is not used it must be plugged.
Instruct the owner that the indoor coil drain pan should be inspected
and cleaned regularly to prevent odors and assure proper drainage. If a
secondary drain is not used it must be plugged. See Figures 29 & 30.
Coils should be installed level or pitched slightly toward the drain end.
Suggested pitch should not exceed 1/4 inch per foot of coil.
The drain pan connections are designed to ASTM Standard D 2466
Schedule 40. Use 3/4” PVC or steel threaded pipe. Since the drains are
not subject to any pressure it is not necessary to use Schedule 40 pipe
for drain lines.

SECTION VIII: ELECTRIC HEATER
INSTALLATION
If the air handler requires electric heat, install the electric heat kit
according to the installation instructions included with the kit. After
installing the kit, mark the air handler nameplate to designate the heater
kit that was installed. If no heater is installed, mark the name plate
appropriately to indicate that no heat kit is installed.
Use only 6HK Revision C or later heater kits, as listed on air handler
name plate and in these instructions. Use data from Tables 9 & 16 for
information on required minimum motor speed tap to be used for
heating operation and maximum over-current protection device
required as listed for combination of air handler and heater kit.
For Upflow, Downflow and Horizontal left-hand applications, the kits can
be installed without modification.
Field modification is required for Horizontal right-hand airflow application only. Follow instructions with heater for modification.
NOTICE
In some horizontal applications, the service disconnects on the electric heat kits must be rotated 180° so the up position of the disconnect is the ON position. This service disconnect orientation change is
required by UL1995, Article 26.19 (in reference to all circuit breakers).
The 24 volt power supply is provided by an internally wired low voltage
transformer which is standard on all models, However, if the unit is connected to a 208 volt power supply, the low voltage transformer must be
rewired to the 208 volt tap. See the unit wiring label.
Remove desired knockout and pierce foil faced insulation to allow wiring to pass through. Use as small of a hole as possible to minimize air
leakage.
Install a 7/8” plastic bushing in the selected hole and keep low voltage
wiring as short as possible.
To further minimize air leakage, seal the wiring entry point at the outside of the unit.

SECTION IX: LINE POWER CONNECTIONS
Power may be brought into the unit through the supply air end of the
unit (top left when unit is vertical) or the left side panel. Use the hole
appropriate to the unit’s orientation in each installation to bring conduit
from the disconnect. The power lead conduit should be terminated at
the electrical control box. To determine proper wire sizing, refer to
Tables 7 - 10 and the latest edition of the National Electric Code or in
Canada the Canadian electrical Code and local codes to determine
correct wire sizing. To minimize air leakage, seal the wiring entry point
at the outside of the unit.
All electrical connections to air handlers must be made with copper
conductors. Direct connection of aluminum wiring to air handlers is
not approved.
If aluminum conductors are present, all applicable local and national
codes must be followed when converting from aluminum to copper
conductors prior to connection to the air handler.
If wire other than uncoated (non-plated), 75° C ambient, copper wire is
used, consult applicable tables of the National Electric Code (ANSI/
NFPA 70). The chosen conductor and connections all must meet or
exceed the amperage rating of the overcurrent protector (service
disconnect or fuse) in the circuit.
Additionally, existing aluminum wire within the structure must be sized
correctly for the application according to National Electric Code and
local codes. Caution must be used when sizing aluminum rather than
copper conductors, as aluminum conductors are rated for less current
than copper conductors of the same size.

CONTROL WIRING USING COMMUNICATING
CONTROLS
The Communicating System consists of several intelligent communicating components including the Communicating Thermostat Control
(touch-screen wall thermostat), variable speed air handler, air conditioner (15 and 18 SEER premium air conditioners) or heat pump (13, 15
and 18 SEER premium heat pumps), which continually communicate
with each other via a four-wire connection called the A-R-C-B bus.
Commands, operating conditions, and other data are passed continually between components over the A-R-C-B bus. See Figure 26. The
result is a new level of comfort, versatility, and simplicity.
In order to use this air handler in full communications (COMM) mode, it
MUST be installed with the matching touch-screen Communicating
Control (wall thermostat) and an outdoor air conditioner or heat pump
with a fully communicating control.
Johnson Controls Ducted Systems15
This air handler may also be used along with the touch-screen Communicating Control and a non-communicating outdoor air conditioner
through the addition of a communicating AC Control board to the outdoor unit. This system allows full communication between the air handler, outdoor unit, and touch-screen Communication Control.
Use the wiring diagram below to connect the air handler control, touchscreen Communicating Control (wall thermostat) and communicating
outdoor unit. Be sure that all of the “A+” terminals are connected
together, all of the “B-” terminals are connected together, all of the “C”
terminals are connected together and all of the “R” terminals are connected together. See Figure 26 & 27. When using a fully communicating
system, removal of the low voltage signal connector at P3 is recommended (C, G, R, etc.). The four small screw terminals in the terminal
block on the end of the air handler control should be used.

CAUTION
If any field-supplied wiring is to be connected to the control board,
such as will be the case if the Communicating Control is used or if a
humidistat, float switch or leaving air temperature switch are used,
the additional wires MUST be routed through the hole at the lower left
of the control box. DO NOT add any additional holes to the control
box. After attaching the additional wires to the board, the remaining
hole around the wires must be plugged with the sealant putty supplied
or with a suitable waterproof sealant. FAILURE T O SEAL THIS HOLE
MAY ALLOW WATER TO ENTER THE CONTROL BOX AND DAMAGE THE CONTROL BOARD.
FLOAT SWITCH INPUT
An optional switch may be connected to the FLT terminals on the control board. This feature is only functional when used with the Communicating Control. It is intended for use with a water overflow switch.
LEAVING AIR TEMP SENSOR INPUT
A plenum air temperature sensor (thermistor) can be connected to the
LAS terminals on the control board. The Communicating Control can
the monitor the temperature of the supply air in the plenum.

FIGURE 27: Multi-wire Terminal Connection
IMPORTANT: The following steps must be taken at the time of instal-
lation to insure proper system operation.
1. Consult system wiring diagram to determine proper thermostat wiring for your system.
2. If using a communicating control and a humidistat is installed,
change HUM STAT jumper from NO to YES.
3. Set the MODE jumper to A/C (Air Conditioner) or HP (Heat Pump)
position depending on the outdoor unit included with the system.
4. Set airflow and comfort setting jumper to proper positions.
FUNCTIONALITY AND OPERATION
Jumper Positions
Hum Stat Jumper
The HUM STAT jumper configures the control to monitor the humidity
switch input. With the jumper in the NO position, the control will ignore
the HUM input. With the jumper in the YES position, the control will
monitor the HUM input to control the blower speed for de-humidification
during cooling operation.
If the jumper is not present, the control will operate as if the jumper is in
the NO position.
AC/HP Jumper
The AC/HP jumper configures the control to operate properly with an air
conditioner (AC position) or heat pump (HP position). With the jumper in
the AC position, the control will treat any “Y” call as a cooling call. With
the jumper in the HP position, the O input signal is received from the
room thermostat. This allows the control to recognize whether in the
heating or cooling mode and energizes the 24 VAC HUM output when
blower is on and a first stage heating call is present.
If the jumper is not present, the control will operate as if the jumper is in
the HP position.
Airflow and Comfort Setting Jumpers
See separate section.
Status and Fault Codes
The control includes an LED that displays status and fault codes. These
codes are shown in Table 4. The control will display the fault codes until
power is removed from the control or the fault condition is no longer
present.

HUM OUT Output
The HUM OUT output can be used to drive an external relay or solenoid
(24 VAC coil) to control a humidifier. The output is energized when the
control has a thermostat call for heating (heat pump or electric heat).
Heat Output
The control is connected to the heater relays using pins 4,5, and 6 of
connector P1. The relay outputs are 24 VAC.
The control energizes the heat relays as shown in Table 5.
TABLE 5:
Depending on the heat kit installed in the air handler, the control provides the flexibility to configure the amount of heat delivered with the
first stage heating call. As an example, when the control’s W1 input is
connected to the room thermostat’s first stage heat signal, a call for first
stage heat will energize one heating element (HT1). If the control’s W2
input is connected to the room thermostat’s first stage heat signal, a call
for first stage heat will energize one heating element (HT2). With either
configuration, the control will energize two heating elements (HT1, and
HT2) when it receives a first and second stage heat input from the thermostat.
Wiring Related Faults
If the control receives a simultaneous call for heating and cooling (fault
code 7), the control will perform both heating and cooling operations.

SECTION XII: AIRFLOW AND COMFORT
SETTING SELECTION
AIRFLOW SELECTION
When not using communicating functionality, the airflow and comfort
setting selection jumpers must be set properly at the time of installation
for proper system operation. Place jumpers in the proper locations
based on the information shown in Table 16 & Figure 18.
Inputs to air handler control board are passed to the motor which determines the target CFM to be delivered. The following inputs will produce
the CFM per the appropriate table and selected tap settings.
NOTICE
Incorrect airflow and comfort settings may result in decreased system
efficiency and performance.
These variable speed air handlers are designed to deliver constant airflow (CFM) regardless of the external static pressure (ESP) in the
ductwork. Therefore, if too many supply registers are closed, a filter
becomes clogged, or there is a restriction in the ductwork, the motor will
automatically operate at a higher speed to compensate for the higher
ESP. This may result in a higher operating sound level and motor damage.
To Set Cooling Airflow:
Refer to the outdoor unit technical guide for the recommended airflow
with the matching indoor coil. Refer to Table 16 for the possible high
speed cooling and heat pump airflow selections.
Find the recommended system airflow in Table 16 for the installed air
handler model and outdoor unit.
Select the COOL airflow needed from Table 15. Set the COOL and
ADJUST Jumpers on the control as indicated in Table 16.
To Set Heat Pump Airflow:
The heat pump airflow setting is the same as the cooling airflow setting.
No additional airflow setting is required. However, you must set the AC/
HP jumper to the HP position for proper system operation (See Figure
23).
To Set Electric W1 Heat Airflow:
The blower speed required for 1st stage electric heat is different than
cooling. Refer to Table 16 for the possible CFM selections. Refer to
Table 8 for the minimum required airflow for the electric heater installed.
Find the desired airflow in Table 16 for low heat. Set the HEAT jumper
on the control as indicated in Table 16.
To Set W2 Electric Heat Airflow:
Airflow for any W2 input, which is for second stage of electric heat, is
the indicated CFM for high heat tap selection on Table 16.
!
CAUTION
DO NOT change the ADJUST tap position on the control as this will
change your cooling airflow previously selected.
Blower Ramp-Up /Ramp-Down:
To minimize the sound made by the blower when it speeds up or slows
down, the blower will slowly ramp up or down from one speed to
another. Changes in blower speed during A/C or heat pump heating can

DTemperate
Normal
The normal setting provides a ramp-up from zero airflow to full capacity
and a ramp-down from full capacity back to zero airflow.
Humid
The humid setting is best-suited for installations where the humidity is
frequently very high during cooling season, such as in the southern part
of the country. On a call for cooling, the blower will ramp up to 50% of
full capacity and will stay there for two minutes, then will ramp up to
82% of full capacity and will stay there for five minutes, and then will
ramp up to full capacity, where it will stay until the wall thermostat is satisfied.
Dry
The dry setting is best suited to parts of the country where excessive
humidity is not generally a problem, where the summer months are usually dry. On a call for cooling the motor will ramp up to full capacity and
will stay there until the thermostat is satisfied. At the end of the cooling
cycle, the blower will ramp down to 50% of full capacity where it will stay
for 60 seconds. Then it will ramp down to zero.
Temperate
The temperate setting is best suited for most of the country, where neither excessive humidity nor extremely dry conditions are the norm. On
a call for cooling, the motor will ramp up to 63% of full capacity and will
stay there for 90 seconds, then will ramp up to full capacity. At the end
of the cooling cycle, the motor will ramp down to 63% of full capacity
and will stay there for 30 seconds, then will ramp down to zero.

TABLE 16:
Heat Tap
Heat Tap
1. Air handler units have been tested to UL 1995 / CSA 22.2 No. 236 standards up to 0.50" wc. external static pressure.
Dry coil conditions only, tested without filters.
For optimal performance, external static pressures of 0.2" to 0.5" are recommended. Heating applications tested at 0.50” w.c. esp. Above 0.5" CFM is reduced by 2% per
0.1" increase in static.
The ADJ tap does not affect the HEAT tap setting.
Low speed cooling used only with two stage outdoor units. Speed is preset to 65% of high speed.
Dehumidification speed is 85% of jumper selected COOL tap and ADJUST tap.
When operating in both heat pump and electric heat modes, the airflow (CFM) will be per HEAT tap CFM values only.
At some settings, LOW COOL and/or LOW HEAT airflow may be lower than what is required to operate an airflow switch on certain models of electronic air cleaners.
Consult the instructions for the electronic air cleaner for further details.
Airflow (CFM) indicator light (LED2) flashes once for every 100 CFM (i.e.: 12 flashes is 1200 CFM) - blinks are approximate +/- 10% of actual CFM.

SECTION XIV: MAINTENANCE
Filters must be cleaned or replaced when they become dirty. Inspect at
least once per month. The frequency of cleaning depends upon the
hours of operation and the local atmospheric conditions. Clean filters
keep unit efficiency high.
COIL CLEANING
!
CAUTION
Ensure adequate precautions are taken to protect electrical components from liquid.
If the coil needs to be cleaned, it should be cleaned with water.
As an alternative to water, EVAP-Green by Nu-Calgon is the only pH
neutral coil cleaner approved to be used when it is properly diluted.
ENSURE THE CLEANED COILS ARE THOROUGHLY RINSED
AFTER USE OF EVAP-GREEN.
LUBRICATION
The bearings of the blower motor are permanently lubricated.
CONDENSATE DRAINS
During the cooling season check the condensate drain lines to be sure
that condensate is flowing from the primary drain but not from the
secondary drain. If condensate ever flows from the secondary drain the
unit should be promptly shut off and the condensate pan and drains
cleaned to insure a free flowing primary drain.
SECTION XV: AIR SYSTEM ADJUSTMENT
To check the Cubic Feet per Minute (CFM), measure the external duct
static using a manometer and static pressure tips. To prepare coil for
static pressure drop measurements run the fan only to assure a dry coil.
Drill 2 holes, one 12” away from the air handler in the supply air duct
and on 12” away from the air handler in the return air duct (before any
elbows in the duct work). Insert the pressure tips and read the pressure
drop from the manometer.
EXTERNAL DUCT STATIC
Measure the supply air static pressure. Record this positive number.
Measure the return air static pressure. Record this negative number.
Treat the negative number as a positive, and add the two numbers together to determine the total external system static pressure. If a filter
rack is installed on the return air end of the air handler or indoor coil section, make sure to measure the return air duct static between the filter
and the indoor coil.
Take measurements here if
using a filter rack.
Return air static must be
taken between the filter and
indoor coil.
