11A. Single Stage Cooling

During cooling mode operation, indoor blower wire “G” will energize 

a time delay relay located on the control board inside the air handler. 

After a short time delay period, the time delay relay will apply 120VAC 

to the motor via the “MTR“ terminal. (See Schematic Fig 20-1.) Fan 

time delay periods are 30 seconds ON delay and 120 seconds OFF 

delay.

The Y wire from the thermostat is not connected at the air 

handler.  This  wire  goes  directly  to  the  outdoor  unit  24  volt  wiring 

to turn on the outdoor condensing unit when a call for cooling 

takes  place.  The  24  volt  common  for  the  outdoor  unit  circuitry 

is connected at the air handler brown wire. (See Fig 11-1.) 

The hydronic heater low voltage wiring terminal “W” is wired directly 

from the thermostat to the air handler. The indoor blower, on a call for 

heat, will ON delay for a period of 5 seconds. When the call for heat 

has been satisfied, the indoor blower will have an OFF delay time 

period of 60 seconds.

Operating CFM based upon each speed tap number is shown on 

the electrical wiring diagram of the unit. Final air volume adjustments 

should be made by referencing total external static pressure (Table 

11A-1).

11B. Heating

The unit ships with a micro-processor based board 

which controls the electrical functioning of the unit. An 

inspection of the controls is recommended prior to startup. 

 

Fig.11-C1 provides a schematic of the control board present in the 

unit. The unit ships from the factory with the aquastat jumper in the 

OFF position (right two pins) and the heating selector in the HW 

position (right two pins). If an aquastat is used in the application; the 

jumper should be changed to the ON position (left two pins). 

Note: Terminals T and N located on the top right side of the board are 

not intended for field use and should be left disconnected.

11C. Jumper Placement

The aquastat (AQ) jumper must be in the 

OFF position at all times, except for when 

an aquastat is used. If the jumper is moved 

to the ON position without installing an aquastat, the blower 

will not be energized.

CAUTION

11D. Pump/Valve/Boiler Wiring

Fig.11C-3

The  freeze  protection  sensor  is  connected  to  the  “FP”  and  “R“ 

terminals. This sensor is normally open and will close when the 

sensor detects a temperature of less than 40ºF. The pump will 

operate and stay ON for a minimum of 30 seconds.

The board has a built-in timer which circulates hot water 6 times a 

day for 60 seconds to prevent the hydronic coil from freezing.

11E. Freeze Protection Sensor Wiring

On units shipped from the factory with a pump installed (Fig 11C-3), 

the pump will be energized on a call for heat.

On units that were shipped without factory installed pumps, two 

black wires should be connected to the terminals marked “BOILER” 

T T (see Fig 11C-1). In applications where a boiler provides the hot 

water supply, these wires should be connected to the boiler control 

wiring. Terminals “BOILER” T T are normally open dry contacts.

In  applications  where  a  valve  or  pump  is  used  to  regulate  the 

hot  water  supply,  the  two  black  wires  located  on  the  “BOILER”  T 

T terminals should be removed and placed on the two terminals 

marked “VALVE”. These wires should be connected to a 24V valve 

or pump relay according to local requirements and instructions of the 

valve or relay manufacturer.

On a call for heat, 24V will be sent to the field-installed valve or pump 

relay, the valve will open or pump relay will close contacts allowing 

the pump to run. Water will circulate through the water (hydronic) coil 

for 60 seconds prior to energizing the blower. After the thermostat is 

satisfied, the blower will continue to stay energized for a minimum of 

30 seconds. The additional blower run time helps maximize heating 

efficiency.

The air handler uses a 120VAC 

to 24VAC step-down transformer.
