Final Wiring Check

IMPORTANT: 

Check  factory  wiring  and  field  wire  connections    to

ensure terminations are secured properly. Check wire routing to ensure

wires are not in contact with tubing, sheet metal, etc.

Compressor Crankcase Heater

All sizes are equipped with a crankcase heater. Furnish power to heater a

minimum  of 24  hours before starting unit. To furnish power to heater

only,  set thermostat  to OFF and close  electrical disconnect to outdoor

unit. 
A crankcase heater is required if refrigerant tubing is longer than 80 ft.

(24.4 m), or when outdoor unit is 20 ft. (6.1 m) below the indoor unit.

Refer to the Residential Piping and Long Line Guideline.

Install Electrical Accessories

Refer  to  the  individual  instructions  packaged  with  kits  or  accessories

when installing.

Airflow Selections (ECM Furnaces)

The ECM Furnaces provide blower operation to match the capacities of

the  compressor  during  high  and  low  stage  cooling  operation.  Tap

selections on the furnace control board enable the installing technician to

select  the  proper  airflows  for  each  stage  of  cooling.  Below  is  a  brief

summary of the furnace airflow configurations

1. The Y2 call for high stage cooling energizes the “Cool” tap on the

control board. The grey wire from cool tap is connected to tap 5 on

the  motor.  Refer  to  the  furnace  Product  Data  to  find  the

corresponding airflow. If the airflow setting for high cooling needs

to be switched from tap 5 to a different tap, jumper a connection

from  the  cool  tap  to  the  desired  tap  so  that  the  Y2  signal  is

communicated via the cool tap to the desired speed tap.

2. The Y1 call for low stage cooling energizes the “Fan” tap on the

control board. The red wire from the fan tap is connected to tap 1 on

the  motor.  Refer  to  the  furnace  Product  Data  to  find  the

corresponding airflow. If the airflow setting for low cooling needs

to be switched from tap 1 to a different tap, jumper a connection

from  the  Fan    tap  to  the  desired  tap  so  that  the  Y1  signal  is

communicated  via  the  Fan  tap  to  the  desired  speed  tap. The Y1

setting will also govern the continuous fan airflow for the furnace.

Refer to the literature for the furnace for further details.

Airflow Selection for Variable Speed Furnaces 

(non-communicating)

The  variable  speed  furnaces  provide  blower  operation  to  match  the

capacities  of  the  compressor  during  high  and  low  stage  cooling

operation. The furnace control board allows the installing technician to

select the proper airflows for each stage of cooling. Below is a summary

of  required adjustments.  See furnace  installation  instructions  for more

details: 

1. Turn SW1-5 ON for 400 CFM/ton airflow or OFF for 350 CFM/ton

airflow.  Factory default is OFF.

2. The A/C DIP switch setting determines airflow during high stage

cooling operation. Select the A/C DIP switch setting corresponding

to  the  available  airflow  shown  in  the  furnace  Installation

Instructions that most closely matches the required airflow shown

in the air conditioning Product Data for HIGH speed.

3. The  CF  DIP  switch  setting  determines  airflow  during  low  stage

cooling operation. Select the CF DIP switch setting corresponding

to  the  available  airflow  shown  in  the  furnace  installation

instructions that most closely matches the required airflow shown

in the air conditioning Product Data for LOW speed. If a higher or

lower continuous fan speed is desired, the continuous fan speed can

be  changed  using  the  fan  switch  on  the  thermostat.  Refer  to  the

furnace  Installation  Instructions  for  details  of  how  to  use  this

feature.
