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.

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 non-conditioned space
such as, attic or crawlspace. 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.

DUCT WORK TRANSITION
Duct work that is not designed to match the supply air opening can
cause turbulence inside the plenum box. This turbulence can change
the air flow patterns across the heat kit limit switch. If the factory suggested transition can not be fabricated, it is recommended a block off
plate (approximately 8” in height and running the full width of the plenum) be attached to the supply opening Please refer to Figure 9 as a
visual aid. The use of this block off plate will keep better air circulation
across the limit switch.
FIGURE 5: Duck Work Transition
This will not alleviate problems caused by improper installation. When
receiving intermittent fault codes pertaining to the limit switch always
double check your airflow CFM, motor speed and static pressures.
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 5.
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 10) 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 10 through 19 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.

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, 13, & 14.

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 6 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.
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 Figure 10.
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 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 PER 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.
6Johnson Controls Unitary Products
Page 7
819682-UIM-A-0212
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 is used as motor input because of the high efficiency
non-variable speed motor that comes with these MX models. 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.
LOW FAN
The LOW FAN output is used to switch the speed input to the motor to a
lower speed tap during cooling and heat pump modes (Y1/Y2).
The LOW FAN is de-energized during any call for electric heat
(W1,W2). Hence, once W1 or W2 is energized, the system runs on high
speed.
The LOW FAN output is energized when the control has the following
inputs.

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:
Heat Relays
InputHeat Relay Output
W1HT1
W2HT1 and HT2
W1 and W2HT1 and HT2 and HT3
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 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 operation.

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 11, 12, 14 and 15 to determine
proper wire sizing. Also see Figure 3. 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 Electic Code (ANSI/
NFPA 70). The chosen condutor and connections all must meet or
exceed the amperage rating of the overcurrent protector (circuit breaker
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.
FIGURE 8: Line Power Connections
SECTION VIII: BLOWER SPEED
CONNECTIONS
All air handlers contain a programmed 5 speed high efficiency brushless DC motor.
Adjust blower motor speed to provide airflow within the minimum and
maximum limits approved for evaporator coil, electric heat and outdoor
