5. Commissioning

This section addresses initial power up (or commissioning) of a new Evolution
Connex Control. The control will communicate and identify all components in the
Evolution System. The following is a typical example for a communicating

variable--speed furnace / fan coil with a 2--stage air--conditioner / heat pump
(including HYBRID HEAT

r

dual fuel system). The process may vary for other

types of systems. See the Evolution System HVAC equipment Installation
Instructions for more details, as provided.

5.1.

Searching for Indoor Unit

The Evolution Connex Control will light up and display the Bryant logo and then

begin the commissioning process by displaying “Searching for indoor unit”.

A12177

NOTE

: If the Evolution System--compatible indoor equipment (package unit

indoor section, gas furnace or fan coil) cannot be found, the control will display
“Indoor unit not found”. This

MUST

be corrected before the initial power up

sequence can continue, proceeding to the next section, “Searching for outdoor
unit.” If it is not corrected, the Evolution Connex Control will go into its

DEMO

operating mode. If a control is operating in Demo mode and you wish to install it
with equipment, navigate to the Installer menu and perform a re--install to re--learn
the equipment.
