Rectifier and Time Delay Boards
Each heater element is controlled by a relay mounted on the heater panel. The relay has a 24V DC coil. Each relay has a small rectifier board attached directly to relay coil terminals. The rectifier boardconverts incoming 24V AC control signal to DC. Some heaters may have up to three relays. The second and/or third relay rectifier board also has a time delay feature and a small jumper wire built into it.With the jumper uncut, the time delay allows the second-stage heat to be energized approximately 5 seconds after the first stage. On 18-, 24-, and 30-kW heaters, the third-stage relay board jumper is cut at the factory. This provides an 8-second delay after first-stage relay closes.

Ground Connections
WARNING ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD: Failure to follow this warning could
result in personal injury or death. According to NEC, ANSI/NFPA 70, and local
codes, cabinet must have an uninterrupted or unbroken ground to minimize
personal injury if an electrical fault should occur. The ground may consist of
electrical wire or metal conduit when installed in accordance with existing
electrical codes. (See Gound/Conduit NOTE below.)
NOTE: Use UL-listed conduit and conduit connector for connectingsupply
wire(s) to unit to obtain proper grounding. If the conduit connection uses
reducing washers, a separate ground wire must be used.
Grounding may also be accomplished by using grounding lugs provided in the control box.
- For unprotected or single-circuit heaters, one (1) equipment ground connection is provided on the fan coil unit (Fig. 1 or Fig. 2).
- For 15- and 20-kW circuit breaker heaters, an additional ground lug is provided on the circuit breaker mounting bracket for dual-circuit grounding (Fig. 3).
- For 15- and 20-kW fused heaters, an additional ground lug is provided on the fuse mounting bracket for dual-circuit grounding (Fig. 2).
- For 24- and 30-kW fused heaters, two (2) additional ground lugs are provided for single-phase, multi-circuit wiring (Fig. 1).
Fan Speeds for FJ4 and PF4MNX
- Speed tap selection is done at the fan relay. To change motor speeds, disconnect the fan lead on the relay and replace with the motor speed tap desired. Save the insulating cap and place it on the motor lead that was removed from the relay (Fig. 16). Refer to Table 4 for further clarification of speed tap selections.
Table 4 – Color Code for Motor Lead Wires FJ4 and PF4MNX
MOTOR SPEED TAP | WIRE COLOR |
---|---|
Common | Yellow |
High | Black |
Medium | Blue (Factory selected) |
Low | Red (Blue on 2-speed models) |
FJ4 and PF4MNX with Discrete Tap BLDC Motors
- Speed tap selection is done at the motor terminals. To change motor speed, disconnect the motor lead from the factory terminal and move it to the desired speed tap based on published airflow tables nd desired unit function.
- Electric heat (white wire) should remain plugged into Tap 4. Procedure 4 — Conversion of Circuit Breaker for
Downflow Applications
- Tag and disconnect factory wiring from terminals on circuit breaker(s).
- Pull the white plastic release tab on the bottom of circuit breaker straight out to release the circuit breaker from the bracket (Fig. 17).
- Remove the quick connect adapters from the factory side of the breaker(s). Reinstall the adapters on the other end of the breakers(s). Be sure the adapter is located between the lug screw and plate. Torque the lug screw to 30 in-lb.
- Rotate the breaker 180° from its original position and reinstall in the bracket. Slide the breaker slot into the sheet metal tab and snap the breaker into place. Make sure both tabs engage the breaker. Reconnect wiring on the opposite end. Make sure the wires are positioned as before.
- Remount the circuit breaker bracket into the unit so that the switch will be in the UP position when ON.
Procedure 5 — Attach Wiring Diagram and Rating Label
Attach the heater rating label included with the kit over the existing
electrical information label located on the front access panel of the fan coil
(Fig. 18). If the kit contains multiple rating labels, make sure the correct
label is applied (check phase and supply circuits). Affix the wiring diagram
label #3, included with the kit, on the blower housing above the fan coil
wiring label. Do not cover up the existing wiring label. NOTE: The fact there
is a label #3 does not imply there should be label #1 or #2. These kits have
only one wiring label – label #3.
Procedure 6 — Verify Installation
After completion of the heater installation, check the wiring to ensure
tightness and that proper connections and routings have been made. Make sure
all electrical covers are in place and proper labels have been applied.
Reinstall the blower access panel before turning on the unit power.
