P216 series controllers are designed to reference either
one or two Johnson Controls P499 electronic pressure
transducers to monitor condenser pressure.
On P216 series controller applications that use two P499
transducers, the P216 series controller always references
the transducer that is sensing the highest pressure.
IMPORTANT
Operate the P216 only in combination with one or
two P499-VCS-405C pressure transmitters.
Only P499 models that have a 0-10 Vdc output signal can
be used with the P216 control.

Note:
High efficiency motors must comply with ERP 2015.
%Di is stated in the fan motor specifications and indicates the value of extra current that the motor is consuming at
medium speed.
For example:
%DI = 55 means that a 5A motor consumes a 2,75 A more current so 7,75 A at inrush and up to medium speed.
This means that the P216 is limited to 7,75 A, so it is not possible to connect 2 motors in parallel.
For a fan motor with %DI = 0, the P216 can deliver 12 A maximum.
