Introduction

Model FTM and WBG Fan Coil units are designed for flexibility and can be used for upflow, horizontal, or downflow (kits required on manufactured and mobile home) applications. These units are designed specifically for R-410A refrigerantand must be used only with R-410A refrigerant air conditioners and heat pumps as shipped.

These units leave the factory compliant with low leak requirements of less than 2% cabinet leakage rate at 0.5 inches W.C. and 1.4% cabinet leakage rate at 0.5 inches W.C. when tested in accordance with ASHRAE 193 standard. Because of this, the units need special attention in the condensate pan and drain connection area and when brazing tubing.

These units are available for application in systems of 18,000 through 60,000 Btuh nominal cooling capacities. Factory-authorized, field-installed electric heater packages are available in 5 through 30 kW. See Product Data for available accessory kits

Downflow Installations

Warning ICONCAUTION
UNIT OR PROPERTY DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in product or property damage. The conversion of the fan coil to downflow requires special procedures for the condensate drains on both A-coil and slope units. The vertical drains have an overflow hole between the primary and secondary drain holes. This hole is plugged for all applications except downflow, but must be used for downflow. During the conversion process, remove the plastic cap covering the vertical drains only and discard. Remove the plug from the overflow hole and discard. At completion of the downflow installation, caulk around the vertical pan fitting to door joint to retain the low air leak performance of the unit.

In this application, field conversion of the evaporator is required using accessory downflow kit along with an accessory base kit. Use fireproof resilient gasket, 1/8- to 1/4-in. (3.2 to 6.4mm) thick, between duct, unit, and floor.

NOTE: To convert units for downflow applications, refer to Installation Instructions supplied with kit for proper installation. See the Product Data or contact your supplier for the kit number. Use fireproof resilient gasket, 1/8- to 1/4-in. (3.2 to 6.4mm) thick, between duct, unit, and floor.

The secondary circuit of transformer is protected by a 5-amp fuse mounted on printed-circuit board.

Manufactured Housing
In manufactured housing applications, the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 24, Chapter XX, Part 3280.714 requires that supplemental electric heat be locked out at outdoor temperatures above 40°F (4°C) except for a heat pump defrost cycle. A corporate thermostat in conjunction with an outdoor sensor can be used to lock out supplemental heat above 40°F (4°C). Refer to thermostat instructions for details. If a non-corporate thermostat is used, an outdoor thermostat may be required.

Ground Connections

Warning ICONWARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury or death. According to NEC, NFPA 70, and local codes, the cabinet must have an uninterrupted or unbroken ground to minimize personal injury if an electrical fault should occur. The ground may consist of electrical wireor metal conduit when installed in accordance with existing electrical  codes. If conduit connection uses reducing washers, a separate ground wire must be used.

NOTE : Use UL listed conduit and conduit connector to connect supply wire(s) to unit and obtain proper grounding. Grounding may also be accomplished by using grounding lug provided in control box. Use of dual or multiple supply circuits will require grounding of each circuit to ground lugs provided on unit and heaters.

Refrigerant Tubing Connection and Evacuation
Insulate entire suction tube. Do not use damaged, dirty, or contaminated tubing because it may plug refrigerant flow control device. Always evacuate coil and field-supplied tubing to 500 microns before opening outdoor unit service valves.

Warning ICONCAUTION
PRODUCT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in product or property damage.
A brazing shield MUST be used when tubing sets are being brazed to the unit connections to prevent damage to the unit surface and condensate pan fitting caps.

Units have sweat suction and liquid tube connections. Make suction tube
connection first.

  1. Cut tubing to correct length.

  2.  Insert tube into sweat connection on unit until it bottoms.

  3.  Braze connection using silver bearing or non-silver bearing brazing materials.
    Do not use solder (materials which melt below 800°F).
    Consult local code requirements.
    Warning ICONCAUTION
    PRODUCT DAMAGE HAZARD
    Failure to follow this caution may result in product or property damage.
    Wrap a wet cloth around rear of fitting to prevent damage to TXV and factory- made joints.

  4. Evacuate coil and tubing system to 500 microns using deep vacuum method.

Condensate Drain
To connect drains the cap openings must be removed. Use a knife to start the opening near the tab and using pliers, pull the tab to remove the disk. Clean the edge of the opening if necessary and install the condensate  line. Finally caulk around the lines where they exit the fitting to retain the low leak rating of the unit.

Warning ICONCAUTION
UNIT OR PROPERTY DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in product or property damage.
The conversion of the fan coil to down flow requires special procedures for the condensate drains on both A-coil and slope units. The vertical drains have an overflow hole between the primary and secondary drain holes. This hole is plugged for all applications except down flow, but must be used for down flow. During the conversion process, remove the plastic cap covering the vertical drains only and discard. Remove the plug from the overflow hole and discard. At completion of the downflow installation, caulk around the vertical pan fitting to door joint to retain the low air leak performance of the unit.

Units are equipped with primary and secondary 3/4-in. (19mm) FPT drain connections. For proper condensate line installation see Fig. 2, Fig. 4, Fig. 5, Fig. 6, and Fig. 8.
To prevent property damage and achieve optimum drainage performance, BOTH primary and secondary drain lines should be installed and include properly- sized condensate traps (see Fig. 14 and Fig. 16). Factory-approved condensate traps are available. Be sure to install plastic push-in plugs in unused condensate drain fittings. It is recommended that PVC fittings be used on the plastic condensate pan. Do not over-tighten. Finger-tighten plus 1-1/2 turns. Use pipe dope.

**Fig. 14 – Recommended Condensate Trap

**

Warning ICONCAUTION
PROPERTY DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in product or property damage.
Shallow running traps are inadequate and DO NOT allow proper condensate drainage (see Fig. 15).

DO NOT USE SHALLOW RUNNING TRAPS!

**Fig. 15 – Insufficient Condensate Trap

**

NOTE : When connecting condensate drain lines avoid blocking filter access panel. Prime both primary and secondary condensate traps after connecting to drain pan.If unit is located in or above a living space where damage may result from condensate overflow, a field-supplied external condensate pan should be installed underneath the entire unit, and a secondary condensate line (with appropriate trap) should be run from the unit into the pan.

Any condensate in this external condensate pan should be drained to a noticeable place. As an alternative to using an external condensate pan, some localities may allow the use of a separate 3/4-in. (19mm) condensate line (with appropriate trap) to a place where the condensate will be noticeable. The owner of the structure must be informed that when condensate flows from the secondary drain or external condensate pan, the unit requires servicing, or water damage will occur.
Install traps in condensate lines as close to the coil as possible (Fig. 16).
Make sure that the outlet of each trap is below its connection to the condensate pan to prevent condensate from overflowing the drain pan. Prime all traps, test for leaks, and insulate traps if located above a living area.

**Fig. 16 – Insufficient Condensate Trap

**

Condensate drain lines should be pitched downward at a minimum of 1 in. (25mm) for every 10 ft. (3m) of length. Consult local codes for additional restrictions or precautions.

Warning ICONCAUTION
UNIT COMPONENT HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in product damage.
Never operate unit without a filter.
Damage to blower motor or coil may result. Factory authorized filter kits must be used when locating the filter inside the unit. For those applications where access to an internal filter is impractical, a field-supplied filter must be installed in the return duct system.

IMPORTANT: Factory authorized filters must be used when locating the filter inside the unit (see Table 1).

Unit Start-Up
Refer to outdoor unit Installation Instructions for system start-up instructions and refrigerant charging method details.

Easy Select Configuration Taps
Easy Select taps are used by the installer to configure a system.
The ECM motor uses the selected taps to modify its operation to a pre- programmed table of airflows (see Table 4 and Table 5). Airflows are based on system size or mode of operation and those airflows are modified in response to other inputs such as the need for de-humidification (see Fig. 17 and Fig. 18 and Table 2).

**Fig. 17 – Detail of Printed-Circuit Board

**

**Fig. 18 – Detail of Printed-Circuit Board (also showing 12-pin cable)

AUX HEAT KW/CFM – Select heater range for size of
electric heater installed
Installer must select the auxiliary heat airflow approved for application with kW size heater installed. If no heater is installed, this step can be skipped. Each select pin is marked with a range of heaters for which airflow, also marked, is approved.
For increased comfort select the narrowest kW range matching the heater size, for example, 0-10 for 10-kW heater. This airflow must be greater than the minimum CFM for electric heater application with the size system installed for safe and continuous operation (see Table 6 and Table 7 for airflow delivery and minimum CFM). Note that airflow marked is the airflow which will be supplied in emergency heat mode and heating mode on air conditioners when electric heat is the primary heating source.
In heat pump heating mode when electric heaters are energized, the ECM motor will run the higher of heat pump heating airflow and electric heater airflow to ensure safe heater operation. The factory selection is the largest heater range approved (see Fig. 17, A as indicated).

AC/HP SIZE – Select system size installed
The factory setting for air conditioner or heat pump size is the largest unit meant for application with the model of fan coil purchased. Installer needs to select air conditioner or heat pump size to ensure that airflow delivered falls within proper range for the size unit installed.
This applies to all operational modes with the exception of electric heat modes (see Fig. 17, B as indicated).

SYSTEM TYPE – Select system type installed AC or HP
The type of system must be selected:

  1. AC – Air conditioner
  2. HP-COMFORT – Heat Pump Comfort provides approximately 315 CFM per ton for higher normal heating air delivery temperature. Provides approximately 350 CFM per ton cooling airflow for good humidity removal.
  3. HP-EFF – Heat Pump Efficiency provides same airflow for heating and cooling modes to increase overall HP efficiency; approximately 350 CFM per ton. The factory setting is AC. (See Fig. 17, C as indicated.)

AC/HP CFM ADJUST – Select Medium, Low, or High Airflow
To provide airflow at rates described above, the AC/HP ADJUST select is factory set to the nominal (nom) tap. The adjust selections HI/LO will regulate airflow supplied for all operational modes, except non-heat pump heating modes.
HI provides 15% airflow over nominal unit size selected and LO provides 10% airflow below nominal unit size selected.  Adjust selection options are provided to adjust airflow supplied to meet individual installation needs for such things as noise, comfort, and humidity removal (see Fig. 17, D as indicated).

ON/OFF DELAY – Select desired time delay profile
NOTE : Delay selections are active in cooling and heat pump heating modes only. Auxiliary heating modes have a 1-minute off-delay and zero on-delay programmed into the ECM motor that cannot be overridden Four motor operation delay profiles are provided to customize and enhance system operation (see Fig. 17, E as indicated). Selection options are:

  1. The standard 90-second off-delay (Factory setting) at 100% airflow.
  2. No-delay option used for servicing unit or when a thermostat is utilized to perform delay functions.
  3. A 30-second on-delay with no airflow / 90-second off-delay at 100% airflow profile is used when it is desirable to allow system coils time to heat-up/cool-down in conjunction with the airflow.
  4. ENH, enhanced selection, provides a 30-second on-delay with no airflow / plus 150-second at 70% airflow / no off-delay for addedcomfort.
    This profile will minimize cold blow in heat pump operation and could enhance system efficiency.

CONTINUOUS FAN – Select desired fan speed when
thermostat is set on continuous fan
NOTE : If installed with a 2-speed outdoor unit, do not select HI speed
continuous fan. If HI is selected, low speed compression will also run HI
speed possibly resulting in insufficient dehumidification.

  1. LO speed – factory setting, 50% cooling mode airflow.
  2. MED speed – move connector to MED, 80% cooling mode airflow.
  3. HI speed – move connector of HI, 100% cooling mode airflow (see Fig. 17, F as indicated).

Low-Voltage Circuit Fusing and Reference
The low-voltage circuit is fused by a board-mounted 5-amp automotive fuse placed in series with the transformer SEC2 (24VAC) and the R circuit. The C circuit of the transformer is referenced to chassis ground through a printed circuit run at SEC1 (COM) connected to metal standoff marked with a ground symbol.

Basic Fan Coil Configuration
The following basic configuration of the fan coil will provide ARI rated performance of the heat pump:

  1. AUX HEAT KW/CFM – Select the heater range for the size electric heater installed.
  2.  AC/HP SIZE – Select system size installed.
  3. SYSTEM TYPE – Select system type HP-EFF.
  4. AC/HP CFM ADJUST – Select NOM.
  5. ON/OFF DELAY – Select 0/90 profile.
  6. CONTINUOUS FAN – Select desired fan speed when thermostat is set to continuous fan.

COMFORT OPTIONS – Warmer Heating
The FTM and WBG Fan Coils provide better than average humidity control and heated air temperature. This configuration will improve the comfort provided by the heat pump system if more humidity removal or if warmer heating air is desired. While providing this improved comfort, the heat pump system will operate efficiently, but not at the published HSPF or ARI SEER efficiency.

The following fan coil configuration is recommended for maximum heating and cooling/dehumidifying comfort (see Fig. 17):

  1. AUX HEAT KW/CFM – Select narrowest heater range to match
    size of electric heater installed (skip this step if no heater is
    installed).

  2. AC/HP SIZE – Select system size installed.

  3. SYSTEM TYPE – Select system type HP-COMFORT (for heat
    pump system) or AC (for air conditioner system).

  4. AC/HP CFM ADJUST – Select LO.

  5. ON/OFF DELAY – Select ENH profile.

  6. CONTINUOUS FAN – Select desired fan speed when thermostat is
    set to continuous fan.

  7. If the fan coil is installed with Heat Staging capable electric heaters,
    remove jumper J2 (see Fig. 17).
    NOTE : If configuring to run warmer heating, do not remove jumper J2
    when using 5-, 8-, or 10-kW heaters.

  8. Remove jumper J1 to activate dehumidify modes.

  9. Wire low voltage connections as shown in Fig. 9 thru Fig. 12.

This configuration provides the following comfort enhancements:
a. A 30-second blower-on delay with 150 seconds at 70% airflow to allow the indoor coil to warm up or cool down before the blower is asked to deliver 100% airflow reducing the cold blow sensation at start-up in heating and allowing the indoor coil to more quickly reach wet coil operating conditions in cooling.
b. No blower off-delay eliminates cold blow which may be associated with running the blower after shut down of the compressor and avoids re-evaporation of condensed moisture after cooling/dehumidifying operation.
c. Lower airflow while the compressor is running to reduce draft effects and increase heating air temperature and improved humidity control during cooling operation.
d. Staging of the electric heater elements to more closely match heating load requirements and provide more consistent heating air temperatures.

Accessory Installation
Accessory Electric Heaters
Electric heaters may be installed with the Fan Coil per instructions
supplied with electric heater package. See unit rating plate for factory- approved electric heater kits.
NOTE : Units installed without electric heat should have a sheet metal block-off plate covering the heater opening. This reduces air leakage and formation of exterior condensation.

Auxiliary Terminals
The AUX and HUM terminals on the Easy Select Board are tied directly to the G terminal, and provide a 24VAC signal whenever the G terminal is energized (see Fig. 17).

Electronic Air Cleaner Connections
The AUX1 and AUX2 terminals are not always energized during blower operation, as described above.
When using an electronic air cleaner with the Fan Coil, use Airflow Sensor Part No. KEAAC0101AAA. The airflow sensor turns on electronic air cleaner when the fan coil blower is operating.

Humidifier/Humidistat Connections
Easy Select Board terminals HUM1 and HUM2 are provided for direct connection to the low-voltage control of a humidifier through a standard humidity (see Fig. 19). These terminals are energized with 24VACwhen G thermostat signal is present (see Fig. 20). Alternately, the24VAC signal may be sourced from the W and C terminal block connections when electric heaters are used as primary heating source.

Fig. 19 – Humidifier Wiring

Dehumidify Capability with Standard Humidistat Connection
Latent capacities for systems using the Fan Coil are better than average systems.
If increased latent capacity is an application requirement, the field wiring terminal block provides connection terminals for use of a standard humidity. The Fan Coil will detect the humidity contacts opening on increasing humidity and reduce its airflow to approximately 80% of nominal cooling mode airflow.
This reduction will increase the system latent capacity until the humidity falls to a level which causes the humidity to close its contacts. When the contacts close, the airflow will return to 100% of the selected cooling airflow.
To activate this mode, remove Jumper J1 and wire in a standard humidity (see Fig. 20).

Dehumidify Capabilities
This model fan coil is capable of responding to a signal from indoor system control. No special setup or wiring of fan coil is required.

Fan Coil Sequence of Operation
The FTM and WBG will supply airflow in a range which is more than twice the range of a standard fan coil.
It is designed to provide nominal cooling capacities at a 50°F (10°C) evaporator temperature and the required airflow which enables it to match with 4 air conditioner or heat pump system sizes. Table 3 outlines the CFM range for the different Fan Coil sizes.

Continuous Fan

  • Thermostat closes circuit R to G.

  • The blower runs at continuous fan airflow.
    Cooling Mode – Single speed

  • If indoor temperature is above temperature set point and humidity is below humidity set point, thermostat closes circuits R to G, R to Y/Y2 and R to O.

  •  The fan coil delivers single speed cooling airflow.
    Cooling Mode – Dehumidification

  • If indoor temperature is above temperature set point and humidity is above humidity set point, thermostat closes circuits R to G, R to O, and R to Y/Y2, and humidistat opens R to DH.

  • The fan coil delivers airflow which is approximately 80% of the nominal cooling airflow to increase the latent capacity of the system.
    Electric Heat Heating Mode

  • Thermostat closes circuit R to W/W1, or W2.

  • The fan coil delivers the selected electric heat airflow.
    Heat Pump Heating Mode – Single speed

  • Thermostat closes circuits R to G and R to Y/Y2.

  • The fan coil delivers single speed heat pump heating airflow.

Heat Pump Heating with Auxiliary Electric Heat
Thermostat closes circuits R to G, R to Y/Y2 and/or R to Y1 with R to W/W1 or W2 (and R to O in the case of defrost).
In the event that electric heating is called for by the thermostat while the heat pump is also operating in either heating or defrost modes, the motor will modify its airflow output, if necessary, to provide an airflow which is defined as safe for the operation of the electric heater during heat pump operation. That airflow is the greater of the heat pump heating airflow and the electric heater only airflow.

Troubleshooting ECM Motor and Controls

Warning ICONWARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in personal injury.
High voltage is always present at motor.
Disconnect power to unit before removing or replacing connectors or servicing motor.
Wait at least 5 min after disconnecting power before opening motor.

The ECM motor used with this product contains two parts: the control module and motor winding section.
Do not assume the motor or moduleis defective if it will not start.
Go through the steps described below before replacing control module, Easy Select Board or entire motor.
The control module is available as a replacement part.

If motor turns slowly:

  1. Replace the panel. Motor may appear to run slowly if the access panel is removed.
  2. It is normal operation to run noticeably slower if G terminal is not energized in cooling or heat-pump modes.

If motor does not run:
Turn off power and check the following:

  1. Check 5 amp fuse on Easy Select Board.
  2. Check for 24VAC on SEC1 and SEC2. If no voltage is present, check transformer.
  3. Check all plugs and receptacles for any deformation which could cause loose connections. Be sure plugs are fully seated.
  4. Verify that approximately 230VAC is present at motor.
  5. Verify low-voltage control signals to motor.
    The motor receives its control signals through the 12-pin plug (PL-1) on Easy Select Board and 16-pin plug on wiring harness (see Troubleshooting Example).
    The combinations of pins energized will determine motor speed (see Fig. 20). See Table 8 for circuit board, low-voltage screw terminals energized and for voltage present at each pin on 12-pin plug (PL-1). See Table 8 for pin number on 16-pin plug which should have voltage when Easy Select Board screw terminals have 24VAC.

Use following procedure to check control signals:
THERMOSTAT

  1. Remove all thermostat wires from Easy Select Board.
  2. Jumper screw terminals (1 at a time): R-G, R-Y/Y2, R-Y1, R-W1. If motor runs in all cases, thermostat is mis-wired, configured incorrectly or defective. If motor runs in some cases, but not others, continue to check wiring harness and circuit board.

WIRING HARNESS

  1. Shut off power to unit; wait 5 min.
  2. Remove 5-pin plug from motor.
  3. Remove 16-pin plug from motor.
  4. Remove 4-pin plug from motor.
  5. Replace 5-pin plug and turn power on.
  6. Check for appropriate voltages on 16-pin connector with screw terminals jumpered. (See Table 8 for values and see examples below.)

If signals check correctly and motor does not run, inspect wiring harness for loose pins or damaged plastic that could cause poor connections.
If connections are good, either control module or motor is defective.
If proper signals are not present, check circuit board using procedure below:

12-PIN PLUG (PL-1) ON EASY SELECT BOARD

  1. Unplug harness from board.
  2. Check for appropriate voltages on pins with Easy Select Board screw terminals jumpered (see Table 8 for values and see example below).

If proper signals are not present, replace Easy Select Board.
If present at board and not at 16-pin connector, wiring harness is defective.

TROUBLESHOOTING EXAMPLE:
Motor is not running on a call for heat-pump heating. System is a
single-speed heat pump.

  1. After performing checks in Thermostat section, follow steps 1 thru 5 in Wiring Harness section. Then proceed with example.
  2. With all thermostat wires removed from Easy Select Board, place a jumper wire between R and Y/Y2 low-voltage screw terminals on the Easy Select board.
  3. Check Table 8 for pin number on 16-pin connector associated withthe Y/Y2 signal. The correct pin is #14. The far right column shows that (-)12vdc should be present between pin #14 and pin #1 (common) on the 16-pin connector.
  4. Set meter to read DC voltage. Place meter between pins #1 and #14 and check for (-)12VDC (common side of meter on pin #1). If signal is present, the problem is in the module or motor. If signal is not, problem is either in wiring harness or Easy Select Board.

These steps can be repeated for other modes of operation.
To check Easy Select Board:

  1. Leave jumper wire in place between R and Y/Y2. Check Table 8 under “Wiring Harness Connection to Easy Select Board” column and row for pin #14 to see pin# on Easy Select Board that should have voltage.
    The correct pin is #2.
    The column on far right will show voltage that should be present between pin

    2 and #9 (or #10 common).

  2. Place meter between pins #2 and #9 on Easy Select Board andcheck for (-)12VDC.

  3. Remove 4-pin plug from the Motor Signal Translator.

  4. If voltage is present, the wiring harness is bad; if not, the Easy Select Board is bad

Verify Motor Winding Section:
Before proceeding with module replacement, check the following to
ensure motor winding section is functional. With control module
removed and unplugged from winding section:

  1. The resistance between any 2 motor leads should be similar.
  2. The resistance between any motor lead and the unpainted motor end plate should be greater than 100K ohms.
    If motor winding section fails one of these tests, it is defective and must be replaced.
