2. Remove the wire from the W1 terminal of the fur-
nace and connect an ammeter between the termi-
nal and the wire.
3. Call for heat by raising the set point on the thermo-
stat and allow the furnace to run for 3 to 4 minutes
to reach its peak output.
4. Once the current has stabilized, a reading should
be taken and the anticipator adjusted to that value.
If longer heating cycles are desired, the anticipator
can be set to a higher value
2.5.2 Air ducts
The ducts must be sized such a way as to accommodate
the specified airflow and the available static pressure.
Refer to the applicable local and/or national installation
codes. Insulate the ducts that lead through non-heated
areas. Use flexible supply and return air connectors to
avoid the transmission of vibration. To make the unit run
even quieter, the installer should:
1. Use two elbows between each outlet and the sup-
ply and return air plenum;
2. Cover the vertical sections of the supply and return
air duct with soundproofing material;
3. Use baffles in short radius elbows;
4. Use flexible hangers to suspend the ducts.
A heat pump or an air conditioner can be added to this
furnace, in either the supply or return air duct. Carefully
follow the instructions provided with these appliances to
ensure proper installation and hook-up to the electric fur-
nace. Refrigerant and drainage pipes must in no way
hinder access to the furnace panels.
2.6 SUPPLY AIR ADJUSTMENTS
The supply air must be adjusted based on heating/air
conditioning output and the static pressure of the duct
system. For the desired airflow, refer to Table 1, as well
as Table 4 and Table 5 for the airflow based on static
pressure.
For the adjustment of the airflow on heating mode, to ob-
tain the temperature rise described in the technical spec-
ification table Table 2 and Table 3), the orange wire must
be positioned on the terminal corresponding to the LOW,
MED-LOW, MED-HIGH or HIGH blower speed.
For the adjustment of the airflow on air-cooling mode, to
obtain a sufficient airflow (350 to 450 CFM per Ton), the
blue wire must be positioned on the terminal correspond-
ing to the LOW, MED-LOW, MED-HIGH or HIGH blower
speed.
Blower speeds are adjusted in factory for 0.5 inch W.C.

If heating and air-cooling speeds are the same, the
orange wire and the blue wire can be connected on the
same terminal on the motor.
2.7 INSTALLATION OF
ACCESSORIES
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Turn OFF electrical power at the fuse box or ser-
vice panel before making any electrical connec-
tion and ensure that a proper ground connection
is made before connecting line voltage.
Failure to do so can result in death or bodily injury.
2.7.1 Humidifier and electronic air cleaner
This unit is equipped with a 120 VAC terminal for the con-
nection of accessories up to a maximum of 2 amps. A
humidifier and an electronic air cleaner can be wired to
terminals L1 and N of the unit. Refer to the wiring dia-
grams in this manual (Figure 12 and Figure 13). A field
supplied 24 VAC transformer can be installed for acces-
sories using 24 VAC. A separate power source must be
used if the accessories draw more than 2 amps.
Some accessories require control relays. A location has
been set aside in the unit for the installation of relays: a
24 VAC (part number L01H009). In addition, a 24 VAC
relay can be wired between terminals W1 and C to be
activated during a call for heat. Refer to the wiring dia-
grams for the location of the relay RACC on the control
panel and in accessory instructions.
2.7.2 Use of a heat pump
When using a heat pump, a thermostat with dual fuel
option or a fossil fuel kit is required that prevents the op-
eration of the electric elements and the heat pump at the
same time. Refer to the instructions provided with the
thermostat or the “Fossil Fuel” kit for the proper wiring of
