7.  Locate yellow/white wire that runs from the 12-pin 

plug on the top of the low voltage box to:

 

•  Defrost logic control board on 1 phase non-

dehum models 

 

•  Phase monitor on 3 phase non-dehum models

 

•  Dehum logic control board on all dehum 

models

 

Remove from its original position and plug into 
yellow/white wire from the 910-2013 relay 
assembly installed in Step 5. Locate orange/black 
wire from the 910-2013 relay and connect where 
yellow/white wire was removed.

8.  Locate black wire from the relay assembly and route 

through cable duct to defrost control logic board 
(see Figure 1). Before connecting this black wire to 
the NC fan relay contact on the defrost control logic 
board, remove wire that is currently connected there 
(on 230V models, it’s the black outdoor fan motor 
lead; on 460V models, red/black wire) and connect 
that wire to Terminal 3 on the installed relay.

9.  Locate black/white wire from relay assembly and 

route through cable duct to defrost control logic 
board. Connect the wire to the C terminal. If the heat 
pump is a dehum unit, remove the black/white wire 
already connected to C terminal and stack it back 
onto the black/white wire from the relay assembly.

10. Locate blue wire from relay assembly and route 

through cable duct to defrost control logic board. 
Connect to B terminal. Remove blue wire already 
connected to B terminal and stack it back onto the 
blue wire from the relay assembly.

11. Locate brown wire from relay assembly and route 

through cable duct to defrost control logic board. 
Connect to W2 terminal. Remove brown wire 
already connected to W2 terminal and stack it back 
onto the brown wire from the relay assembly.

12. Route orange/black, yellow/brown and brown 

wires up the cable duct in the control panel. 
After removing the permagum from around the 
blower motor wires, route the wires into the blower 
compartment and replace the permagum around all 
the wires (see Figures 1 and 2 on pages 3 and 4).

13. Locate the outdoor thermostat shipped in the CMH-

29 kit along with two (2) phillips head screws. Use 
the two screws to attach the outdoor thermostat 
onto the side of the control panel adjacent to the 
indoor blower in the blower compartment (see 
Figure 2).

14. Carefully unroll the capillary tube and sensing bulb 

of the outdoor thermostat, and route it into the 
condenser section through the tubing grommet in 
the condenser partition. Secure the capillary tubing 
to the insulated suction line with the supplied cable 
tie.

15. Continue routing the outdoor thermostat bulb within 

the condenser section as shown in Figure 3 on page 
5. Secure the bulb as per the drawing using the 
vinyl-covered clamps and hex head screws included 
in the kit. Dress the capillary tube to ensure no 
tube-rubs occur and secure with supplied cable ties 
in both the condenser and ventilation sections.

16. Connect the orange/black wire to outdoor 

thermostat Terminal #1, the yellow/brown wire to 
Terminal #2 and the brown wire to Terminal #3.

17. A service port is located on the refrigerant liquid 

line just above the  liquid line filter drier (mounted 
to the outdoor fan shroud). This port is intended 
for the application of 8406-112 low ambient fan 
cycling switch (see Figure 3 on page 5). Remove 
the service cap from this service port and quickly 
thread the low ambient fan cycling switch onto 
this port. Once snug, use two wrenches to tighten 
the switch an additional 1/4 turn (one to hold 
the service port and one on the switch). Use soap 
bubbles to confirm the seal is completely tight on 
this connection.

18. Route the two black leads from the low ambient 

fan cycling switch up into the control panel with 
the other wires from this compartment, taking 
care to route and secure the wires. Use cable ties 
included  with kit. Route the two black wires into 
the cable duct and then out the side of the cable 
duct towards the installed 910-2013 relay. Connect 
these two wires to Terminal 1 and Terminal 3 of the 
relay.

19. Verify outdoor thermostat setpoint. Factory default 

is 10°F.

20. Recheck all wiring. Turn on power to unit. Check 

for proper operation of the unit by energizing in 
cooling mode. The condenser fan motor should 
not run until the discharge pressure has exceeded 
350 PSI. Should the liquid pressure fall below 225 
PSI while running, the condenser fan motor will 
de-energize until the head pressure again builds to 
350 PSI. Switch to heating mode. The condenser 
fan motor should run anytime the compressor is 
running regardless of the discharge pressure. Run 
unit through defrost cycle. The condenser fan motor 
should de-energize during the defrost cycle.

21. Apply “This unit is equipped with CMH-29 control 

module” label to the inside of the inner control 
panel cover above the unit wiring diagram.

22. Re-install all three front service panels.

23. Re-install right side condenser inlet grille.

24. Re-install electrical cable duct cover.

25. Re-install inner and outer control panel covers.

26. Restore unit power.
