The CMH-29 kit consists of:
•  8406-112 Low Ambient Fan Cycling Switch
•  910-2013 Relay and Compressor Cutout 

Thermostat Assembly

•  3/8" vinyl-covered clamps
•  Required fasteners
•  7960-771 Installation Instructions

The CMH-29 kit is for use with Bard models W18HA, 
W24HA, W30HA and W36HA wall-mount heat pumps.

Compressor Cutout Thermostat

Heat pump compressor operation at outdoor 
temperatures below 0° is neither desirable nor 
advantageous in terms of efficiency. An outdoor 
thermostat can be applied to take the mechanical 
heating (compressor) offline, and send the (compressor) 
signal to energize electric heat in its place (to make 
electric heat first stage heating). This can also be 
applied to limit the quantity of available electric heat.
