are drilled, drill only though field duct and unit bottom flange.
Air supply and return may be handled in one of several ways best
suited to the installation. See Figure 3 for dimensions for duct inlet and
outlet connections.
The vast majority of problems encountered with combination 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.

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.
Where return air duct is short, or where sound may be a problem,
sound absorbing glass fiber should be used inside the duct. 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. This unit is not
designed for non-ducted (freeblow) applications. Size outlet plenum or
transition to discharge opening sizes shown in Figure 3.

SECTION V: LOW VOLTAGE CONTROL
CONNECTIONS
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.
Field supplied low voltage wiring can exit the unit on the top right hand
corner or the right hand side panel. Refer to Figure 3.
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 inside the control box.
To further minimize air leakage, seal the wiring entry point at the outside
of the unit.
The field wiring is to be connected at the screw terminals of the control
board. Refer to Figures 10 & 11.
NOTICE
All wiring must comply with local and national electrical code requirements. Read and heed all unit caution labels.
NOTICE
It is possible to vary the amount of electric heat turned on during the
defrost cycle of a heat pump. Standard wiring will only bring on the
first stage of electric heat during defrost. See Heat Output and Limit
Connections and Table 6 for additional information on heat during
defrost cycle.
TABLE 2:
Terminal SignalComment
The low voltage connections may be connected to the screw terminals
or the quick connect terminals. The screw terminals and the quick connect terminals are physically connected on the control board.
HUMIDITY SWITCH INPUT
The air handler control is designed to work with a humidity control that
closes when the humidity is below the set-point. The control is open
when the humidity is above the set-point. This humidity control may be
referred to as a humidistat or a dehumidistat.
The humidity switch controls both humidification and de-humidification
operation of the control. The control provides humidification using the
HUM OUT relay output and de-humidification by lowering the blower

speed. This is accomplished using the LOW FAN output and a field
installed two-speed fan relay kit for non-variable speed models and the
de-humidification input of the motor for variable speed models. The
humidity switch should be connected to the R and HUM terminals of the
control. See Figures 10 & 11.
SECTION VI: REQUIRED CONTROL
SET-UP
IMPORTANT: The following steps must be taken at the time of installation to insure proper system operation.
1.Consult system wiring diagram to determine proper thermostat
wiring for your system.
2.If heat kit is installed, change HEAT ENABLE jumper from NO
HEAT to HEAT position.
3.If a humidstat is installed, change HUM STAT jumper from NO to
YES.
4.Set the MODE jumper to A/C (Air Conditioner) or HP (Heat Pump)
position depending on the outdoor unit included with the system.
FUNCTIONALITY AND OPERATION
Jumper Positions
Heat Enable Jumper
The HEAT ENABLE jumper configures the control for heat kit operation.
The jumper must be in the HEAT position if a heat kit is installed with
the air handler.
With the jumper in the NO HEAT position, the control will not energize
the heat relay outputs or sense the limit switch input.
If the jumper is not present, the control will operate as if the jumper is in
the HEAT position. If the jumper is not present and a heat kit is not present, the control will sense an open limit condition and the blower will run
continuously.
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 energize the HUM terminal with 24 VAC continually. With the jumper in the
YES position, the control will monitor the HUM input to control the HUM
OUT output to control an external humidifier.
If the jumper is not present, the control will operate as if the jumper is in
the YES position.
Mode Jumper
The MODE 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 energize the O terminal with 24 VAC
continually. With the jumper in the HP position, the O input signal is
received from the room thermostat.
If the jumper is not present, the control will operate as if the jumper is in
the HP position.
SPARE Jumper
The control includes a spare jumper that can be used if a jumper is lost.
The SPARE jumper does not have any effect on the operation of the
control.
Status and Fault Codes
The control includes an LED that displays status and fault codes. These
codes are shown in Table 3. The control will display the fault codes until
power is removed from the control or the fault condition is no longer
present.

External Relay Outputs
The control includes three outputs to drive external relays having 24
VAC coils. The outputs have a maximum rating of 1.0 Amp pilot duty at
24 VAC.
HUM OUT
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
HUM input is energized, the HUM STAT is in the YES position, and the
control has a thermostat call for heating (heat pump or electric heat).
EAC
The EAC output can be used to drive an external relay (24 VAC coil) to
control an electronic air cleaner. The output is energized whenever the
blower relay on the control is energized. Models having a high efficiency non-variable speed motor use the EAC output as an input to the
motor. The EAC output can also be used to drive an electronic air
cleaner relay as long as the load of the EAC relay does not exceed 1.0
Amp. An additional connection to the EAC terminals must be made
using a piggyback terminal or similar device.
LOW FAN
The LOW FAN output can be used to drive an external relay (24 VAC
coil) that switches the power input to the motor to a lower speed tap. An
accessory kit is available for this application.
The LOW FAN output is energized when the control has the following
inputs.

Blower Delays
Heat Output and Limit Connections
The control is connected to the heater relays and limit switch using the
6-pin connector. The relay outputs and the limit switch signal are 24
VDC.
The control energizes the heat relays and senses the limit switch input
as shown in Table 6 when the HEAT ENABLE jumper is in the HEAT
position.
TABLE 6:
The control energizes the first stage of electric heat immediately, the
second stage 10 seconds after the call for second stage heat, and the
third stage 20 seconds after the call for third stage heat.
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 two heating elements (HT1 & HT2).
With either configuration, the control will energize three heating elements (HT1, HT2, & HT3) when it receives a first and second stage
heat input from the thermostat.

Limit Switch and Lockout Operation
Limit Switch Operation
If the HEAT ENABLE jumper is in the HEAT position and the limit switch
opens (fault code 1), the control will immediately de-energize all electric
heat relay outputs and energize the blower (if it wasn’t already energized). When the limit switch closes, the control will re-energize electric
heat according to the thermostat inputs using normal timings.
Fan On Lock Condition
If the limit switch opens multiple times during a single call for electric
heat (fault code 3) or if the limit switch opens for a long duration (fault
code 4), the control will energize the blower until power is removed from
the control. The control will cycle the heat outputs on and off as the limit
re-closes and opens. The constant fan operation will signal the homeowner that a problem has occurred and a service call is required.
Soft Lockout
If the limit switch opens for a second long duration period during a single call for heat (fault code 5), the control will keep the blower locked on
and lock out the heat outputs for one hour. The control will only reset
this one hour lockout when the power is removed from the control. After
the one hour period has passed, the control will re-energize electric
heat according to the thermostat inputs using normal timings. The
blower will remain locked on from the first long duration limit opening.
Hard Lockout
The control has a hard lockout condition during which the control will
keep all heat outputs de-energized until power is removed from the control. The control de-energizes the blower five minutes after entering the
hard lockout condition.
If the limit switch closes and re-opens during the one hour soft lockout
period, the control will enter a hard lockout condition and continue to
indicate a fault code 5.
If the limit switch opens twice when no call for electric heat is present
(fault code 2), the control will enter a hard lockout condition.
If the limit switch opens multiple times soon after a soft lockout reset
(fault code 6), the control will enter a hard lockout condition.
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.

DUCT CONNECTORS
Use 1/2" screws to connect ductwork to bottom of unit. Longer
screws will pierce the drain pan and cause leakage. If pilot holes
are drilled, drill only though field duct and unit bottom flange.
Air supply and return may be handled in one of several ways best
suited to the installation. See Figure 3 for dimensions for duct inlet and
outlet connections.
The vast majority of problems encountered with combination 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.
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.
4
Where return air duct is short, or where sound may be a problem,
sound absorbing glass fiber should be used inside the duct. 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. This unit is not
designed for non-ducted (freeblow) applications. Size outlet plenum or
transition to discharge opening sizes shown in Figure 3.
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.

AIR FILTERS
Air filters and filter racks must be field supplied.
.
Equipment should never be operated without filters.
SUSPENSION KITS
A suspension kit is available. Models 1BH0601 (unit size 018-060) is
designed specifically for the units contained in this instruction (upflow
application only). For installation of these accessory kits, see the
instructions packed with the kit.
HORIZONTAL SUSPENSION
For suspension of these units in horizontal applications, it is recommended to use angle steel support brackets with threaded rods, supporting the units from the bottom, at the locations shown in Figure 4.

SECTION IV: 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.
The HEAT ENABLE jumper (See Figure 5) must be moved to the HEAT
position to enable operation of the heater
Use only 4HK heater kits, as listed on Air Handler name plate and in
these Instructions. Use data from Tables 9 and 12 for information on
required minimum motor speed tap to be used for heating operation,
maximum over-current protection device required and minimum electrical supply wiring size required for listed combination of Air Handler and
Heater Kit.
For Upflow, Downflow and Horizontal right hand applications the kits
can be installed without modification.
Field modification is required for Horizontal left-hand airflow application
only. Follow instructions with heater for modification.
NOTICE
If a heat kit with a circuit breaker is installed in the air handler, the
circuit breaker cover cladding must be removed to gain access to
the sheet metal cover plate. Some local codes may require that the
circuit breaker remain visible. If so, do not re-install circuit breaker
cover cladding.
SECTION V: LOW VOLTAGE CONTROL
CONNECTIONS
This air handler can be connected to the wall thermostat and outdoor A/
C or heat pump using either conventional low voltage (24 VAC) thermostat wiring OR using four-wire digital communications wiring. To use
conventional low voltage wiring, see the section below entitled “Conventional Low Voltage Control Wiring”. To use four-wire communications control wiring, see the section below entitled “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. Commands, operating conditions, and other data are passed continually
between components over the A-R-C-B bus. See Figure 8. 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.
This air handler may also be used along with the Communicating Thermostat Control and a non-communicating outdoor air conditioner
through the addition of a communicating Outdoor Aux Control board to
the outdoor unit. This system allows full communication between the air
handler and thermostat and limited communication to the outdoor unit.

HUMIDITY SWITCH INPUT
The air handler control is designed to work with a humidity control that
closes when the humidity is below the set-point. The control is open
when the humidity is above the set-point. This humidity control may be
referred to as a humidistat or a dehumidistat.
The humidity switch controls both humidification and de-humidification
operation of the control. The control provides humidification using the
HUM OUT relay output and de-humidification by lowering the blower
speed. This is accomplished using the de-humidification input of the
motor for variable speed models. The humidity switch should be connected to the R and HUM terminals of the control. See Figures 6 or 7.
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.
Field supplied low voltage wiring can exit the unit on the top right hand
corner or the right hand side panel. Refer to Figure 3.
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 inside the control box.
To further minimize air leakage, seal the wiring entry point at the outside
of the unit.
The field wiring is to be connected at the screw terminals of the control
board. Refer to Figures 6 or 7.
NOTICE
All wiring must comply with local and national electrical code
requirements. Read and heed all unit caution labels.
It is possible to vary the amount of electric heat turned on during the
defrost cycle of a heat pump. Standard wiring will only bring on the
first stage of electric heat during defrost. See Heat Output and Limit
Connections and Table 4 for additional information on heat during
defrost cycle.
The low voltage connections may be connected to the screw terminals
or the quick connect terminals. The screw terminals and the quick connect terminals are physically connected on the control board.
SECTION VI: REQUIRED CONTROL
SET-UP
The following steps must be taken at the time of installation to
insure proper system operation.
1.Consult system wiring diagram to determine proper thermostat
wiring for your system.
2.If heat kit is installed, change HEAT ENABLE jumper from NO
HEAT to HEAT position.
3.If a humidistat is installed, change HUM STAT jumper from NO to
YES.
4.Set the MODE jumper to A/C (Air Conditioner) or HP (Heat Pump)
position depending on the outdoor unit included with the system.
5.Set airflow and comfort setting jumper to proper positions.
FUNCTIONALITY AND OPERATION
Jumper Positions
HEAT ENABLE Jumper
The HEAT/NO HEAT jumper configures the control for heat kit operation. The jumper must be in the HEAT position if a heat kit is installed
with the air handler.
With the jumper in the NO HEAT position, the control will not energize
the heat relay outputs or sense the limit switch input.
If the jumper is not present, the control will operate as if the jumper is in
the HEAT position. If the jumper is not present and a heat kit is not present, the control will sense an open limit condition and the blower will run
continuously.
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 energize the HUM terminal with 24 VAC continually. With the jumper in the
YES position, the control will monitor the HUM input to control the HUM
OUT output to control an external humidifier.
If the jumper is not present, the control will operate as if the jumper is in
the YES position.
Mode Jumper
The MODE 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 energize the O terminal with 24 VAC
continually. With the jumper in the HP position, the O input signal is
received from the room thermostat.
If the jumper is not present, the control will operate as if the jumper is in
the HP position.
SPARE Jumper
The control includes a spare jumper that can be used if a jumper is lost.
The SPARE jumper does not have any effect on the operation of the
control.
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 3. The control will display the fault codes until
power is removed from the control or the fault condition is no longer
present.

External Relay Outputs
The control includes two outputs to drive external relays having 24 VAC
coils. The outputs have a maximum rating of 1.0 Amp pilot duty at 24
VAC .
HUM OUT
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
HUM input is energized, the HUM STAT is in the YES position, and the
control has a thermostat call for heating (heat pump or electric heat).
EAC
The EAC output can be used to drive an external relay (24 VAC coil) to
control an electronic air cleaner. The output is energized whenever the
blower relay on the control is energized.
Heat Output and Limit Connections
The control is connected to the heater relays and limit switch using the
6-pin connector. The relay outputs and the limit switch signal are 24
VDC.
The control energizes the heat relays and senses the limit switch input
as shown in Table 4 when the HEAT ENABLE jumper is in the HEAT
position.
TABLE 4:
The control energizes the first stage of electric heat immediately, the
second stage 10 seconds after the call for second stage heat, and the
third stage 20 seconds after the call for third stage heat.
Depending on the heat kit installed in the air handler, the control provides the flexibility to configure the amount of heat delivered with the
Heat Relays
InputHeat Relay Output

W2HT1 and HT2
W1 and W2HT1 and HT2 and HT3
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 two heating elements (HT1 and HT2).
With either configuration, the control will energize three heating elements (HT1, HT2, and HT3) when it receives a first and second stage
heat input from the thermostat.
Limit Switch and Lockout Operation
Limit Switch Operation
If the HEAT ENABLE jumper is in the HEAT position and the limit switch
opens (fault code 1), the control will immediately de-energize all electric
heat relay outputs and energize the blower (if it wasn’t already energized). When the limit switch closes, the control will re-energize electric
heat according to the thermostat inputs using normal timings.
Fan On Lock Condition
If the limit switch opens multiple times during a single call for electric
heat (fault code 3) or if the limit switch opens for a long duration (fault
code 4), the control will energize the blower until power is removed from
the control. The control will cycle the heat outputs on and off as the limit
re-closes and opens. The constant fan operation will signal the homeowner that a problem has occurred and a service call is required.
Soft Lockout
If the limit switch opens for a second long duration period during a single call for heat (fault code 5), the control will keep the blower locked on
and lock out the heat outputs for one hour. The control will only reset
this one hour lockout when the power is removed from the control. After
the one hour period has passed, the control will re-energize electric
heat according to the thermostat inputs using normal timings. The
blower will remain locked on from the first long duration limit opening.
Hard Lockout
The control has a hard lockout condition during which the control will
keep all heat outputs de-energized until power is removed from the control. The control de-energizes the blower five minutes after entering the
hard lockout condition.
If the limit switch closes and re-opens during the one hour soft lockout
period, the control will enter a hard lockout condition and continue to
indicate a fault code 5.
If the limit switch opens twice when no call for electric heat is present
(fault code 2), the control will enter a hard lockout condition.
If the limit switch opens multiple times soon after a soft lockout reset
(fault code 6), the control will enter a hard lockout condition.
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 VII: LINE POWER CONNECTIONS
Power may be brought into the unit through the supply air end of the
unit (top 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. Refer to Tables 10, 11, 13 or 14 to determine
proper wire sizing. Also see Figure 3. To minimize air leakage, seal the
wiring entry point at the outside of the unit.

SECTION VIII: AIRFLOW AND COMFORT
SETTING SELECTION
AIRFLOW SELECTION
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 15 and
Figure 5.
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.
To Set Cooling Airflow:
Refer to the outdoor unit technical guide for the recommended airflow
with the matching evaporator coil. Refer to Table 15 for the possible
high speed cooling and heat pump airflow selections.
Find the recommended system airflow in Table 15 for the installed air
handler model.
Select the COOL airflow you need from Table 15. Set the COOL and
ADJUST Jumpers on the control as indicated in Table 15.
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
MODE jumper to the HP position for proper system operation (See Figure 5).
To Set Electric W1 Heat Airflow:
The blower speed required for 1st stage electric heat is different than
cooling. Refer to Table 15 for the possible CFM selections. Refer to
Table 9 for the minimum required airflow for the electric heater installed.
Find the desired airflow in Table 15 for low heat. Set the HEAT jumper
on the control as indicated in Table 15.
10
To Set W2 Electric Heat Airflow:
Airflow for any W2 input, which is for Stages 2 & 3 of electric heat, is the
indicated CFM for high heat tap selection on Table 15.
DO NOT change the ADJUST tap position on the control as this will
change your cooling airflow previously selected.
Fan Only CFM:
When the connection is made from "R" to "G", the fan only mode is activated. In this mode, the airflow will depend on the position of the CONT
Fan jumper. In the “H” position, the blower will deliver 85-90% of full
capacity. In the “M” position, the blower will deliver 60-65% of full
capacity. In the “L” position, the blower will deliver 30-35% of full capacity.
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
take up to 30 seconds. Changes in blower speed during electric strip
heating can take up to 15 seconds.
COMFORT SETTINGS
TABLE 5:
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, t
he 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.

Page 27
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.
Temper at e
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.

1. Airflow at nominal voltage, bottom return at 0.5 external static pressure, tested without filter installed, dry coil conditions.
2. These units have variable speed motors that automatically adjust to provide constant CFM from 0.0” to 0.6” w.c. static pressure.
3. From 0.6” to 1.0” static pressure, CFM is reduced by 2% per 0.1” increase in static.
4. Operation on duct systems with greater than 1.0” w.c. external static pressure is not recommended.
5. Both the COOL and the ADJUST tap must be set to obtain the cooling airflow desired (CFM).
6. The ADJ tap does not affect the HEAT tap setting.
7. Low speed cooling used only with two stage outdoor units. (Speed is preset to 65% of high speed).
8. Dehumidification speed is 85% of jumper selected COOL tap and ADJUST tap.
9. When operating in both heat pump and electric heat modes, the airflow (CFM) will be per HEAT Tap CFM values only.
10. 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.
11. 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.
