2 Stage Heat with Single Stage Heating Thermostat - 

If a single 

stage heat thermostat is used and 2 stage heat is desired, 

an optional outdoor thermostat may be installed. Connect 

the optional outdoor thermostat between the 

W1

 (

BROWN

connection and 

ORANGE

 wire in the outdoor unit. See 

Figure 

13

Refer to the installation Instructions supplied with the outdoor 

thermostat for setup details.

Cooling Mode

1. On a call for cooling, the thermostat closes, and applies 

24VAC to the 

G

 & 

Y1

 terminals of the control. The compressor 

contactor closes and operates the compressor in 1st stage.

2. If the thermostat is not satisfied in the required time (based 

on the operation of the 2-stage cooling thermostat), 

Y2

 will 

energize and the compressor will run at 2nd stage. Refer to 

the thermostat’s Installation Instructions for the cooling profile.

3. When the thermostat is satisfied, the 

G

 & 

Y

 terminals on 

the control board de-energized and open the compressor 

contactor.

Electric Heat Package (optional)

This air conditioner is shipped without an auxiliary electric heat 

kit installed. If electric heat is desired, an accessory heater kit 

must be field installed.

•  Select the correct size heat package for the installation. See 

specifications sheet for available kits and application. Install 

the heater kit according to the to the installation instructions 

provided with the kit.

•  Installation is most easily accomplished before making duct 

or electrical connections.

•  The blower must be set at the correct speed for the installed 

electric heat kit. For airflow data, refer to 

Table 3

 and the 

installation instructions provided with the kit.

Blower Speed

For optimum system performance and comfort, it may be 

necessary to change the factory speed setting. See 

Table 3

  for 

factory settings. 

NOTE:

 This model has a high efficiency ECM 

motor with 5 speed taps.

 WARNING:

To avoid electric shock, personal injury, or death, 

turn off the electric power at the disconnect or the 

main service panel before making any electrical 

connections.

To Change the blower speed of the high efficiency motor:

1. Disconnect all electrical power to the unit and remove the 

service panel.

 CAUTION:

Label all wires prior to disconnection when 

servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause 

improper and dangerous operation. Verify proper 

operation after servicing.

2. Locate the 

RED

BLUE

 and 

ORANGE

 wires terminated to the 

blower motor. The 

RED

 wire controls the low speed cooling 

and heating operations, the 

BLUE

 wire controls high speed 

cooling and heating operations, and the 

ORANGE

 wire controls 

the electric heating operation.

 CAUTION:

To avoid personal injury or property damage, 

make certain that the motor leads cannot come 

into contact with any metal components of the 

unit.

3. Verify the required speed from the airflow data found in 

Table 

3 (page 7)

. Place appropriate wire on the appropriate 

motor speed tap for the required airflow.

4. Check all factory wiring per the unit wiring diagram and inspect 

the factory wiring connections to be sure none loosened during 

shipping or installation.

Outdoor Motor - 4 & 5 Ton Models Only

The outdoor motor has variable speeds which adjust in 

conjunction with the compressor and indoor blower motor. The 

outdoor motor is preset at the factory and wired as shown:
•  4 Ton Model: 

YELLOW

 wire is connected to 

Y1

 and the 

WHITE

 wire is connected to 

Y2

NOTE:

 For 2nd stage, both 

Y1

 & 

Y2

 (

YELLOW

 & 

WHITE

) should be energized.

•  5 Ton Model: 

WHITE

 is connected to 

NC

 on blower relay.

YELLOW

 is connected to 

Y2

. For 1st stage only 

WHITE

 

should be  energized. 

NOTE:

 For 2nd stage, only 

YELLOW

 

should be energized.

NOTE:

 The 

BLUE

 wire from the outdoor ECM motor is always 

common for either speed setting.

START UP & ADJUSTMENTS

Pre-Start Checklist

The following check list should be observed prior to starting 

the unit.

  Verify the unit is level and allows proper condensate drainage.

 Verify the outdoor coil and top of the unit are free from 

obstructions and debris, and all equipment access/control 

panels are in place. Unit must be installed with the proper 

clearances as listed in 

Figure 1 (page 3)

.

  Verify that the duct work is sealed to prevent air leakage.

  Verify that the line voltage power leads are securely connected 

and the unit is properly grounded. Check the condenser fan 

to make sure it turns freely.

  Verify the thermostat is wired correctly and installed in a 

proper location. Make sure the low voltage wires are securely 

connected to the correct leads on the low voltage terminal 

strip.

 Verify that the power supply branch circuit overcurrent 

protection is sized properly.

Start-Up Procedure

NOTE:

 The control circuit thermostat may consist of an anti-

short cycle timer that will not let the compressor re-start before 

3 - 5 minutes have elapsed.

1. Set the system mode to OFF and the temperature mode to 

its highest setting.

2. Turn power on at the disconnect switch.

3. Set the system mode to ON or COOL.

4. Set the temperature mode below room temperature. Verify 

that the indoor blower, outdoor fan, and compressor energize 

and the cooling function starts.

5. Verify the discharge air grilles are adjusted and the system 

air is balanced.

6. Verify the duct work has no air leaks.

7. Verify the condensate drain is installed correctly and functions 

properly.

8. Set the temperature mode above room temperature. The unit 

should stop.
