The CMH-29 is a field-installable combination of low
ambient fan cycling control and a compressor cutout
outdoor thermostat to be used with a Bard wall-
mounted heat pump.
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.
