This unit has a unique feature that receives 24VAC analog
inputs from a conventional comfort control and then
converts these inputs to serial communicating signals
between the different controls within the air handler.
The installing and servicing technician should have an
understanding of the sequence of operation to be able
to properly setup and diagnose functions of the air
handler.
The dip switch settings on the control boards must be
properly set to obtain the correct sequence of opera-
tion. Reference the air handler and electric heat wiring
diagrams and dip switch configuration chart for ad-
ditional information.
Continuous Fan
IMPORTANT: If the indoor air exceeds 60% relative
humidity or simply feels uncomfortably humid, it is
recommended that the indoor fan only be used in the
AUTO mode.
1. R-G contacts close on comfort control sending 24VAC
to the G terminal of the AFC.
2. The AFC micro-processor sends a command to the
serial communicating blower motor to run at 50%.

a. HeatpumpOD–R-Ocontactscloseonthecomfort
control sending 24VAC to the O terminal of the AFC.
The AFC communicates to the EVC that the system is
in cooling mode. The O signal is passed through to the
OD unit.

9. The AFC micro-processor sends a command to the
serial communicating blower motor to run at 100% of
the cooling cfm.
10. The EVC will receive input from the two temperature
sensors and start to control superheat.
