WIRING

Disconnect power supply before beginning installation to prevent electrical shock or equipment damage.

All wiring must comply with local electrical codes and ordinances or in the absence of local codes with the National Electrical Code ANSI Cl-1981-NFPA 70. Follow burner or furnace manufacturer’s instructions if available; otherwise, see Fig. 10 and 11 and proceed as follows.

IMPORTANT
The brass jumper is the breakaway type. It must be removed when the limit is used in the low voltage circuit. To remove jumper, break with a needlenose plier and remove completely. Once removed, it is not replaceable. See Fig. 9 for location.

The slotted knockouts on the bottom of the case are provided to simplify the installation procedure and to protect the wires.

1. To remove the slotted knockout(s), if any, use a needlenose pliers as shown in Fig. 6 and pull straight down.

Fig. 6. REMOVING SLOTTED KNOCKOUTS

Fig. 7. INSERT STRAIN RELIEF BUSHING.

2. If cable is used, we recommend using a strain relief bushing in the knockout (Fig. 7). Bushing is available from your local electrical supply. The open side of the bushing should face the open side of the knockout.
3. Refer to the following section for types of wiring connections (standard wire push-in terminals or female receptacle).
4. If strain relief bushing is used, close the movable gate when all wires have been connected to the terminals (Fig. 8).
   
   Fig. 8. CLOSING THE STRAIN RELIEF BUSHING.

Wiring Connections

When connecting cable or conduit to this controller, use care to avoid strain on the control case. Connections can be made to standard wire push-in terminals or female receptacles for 1/4 in. [4.6 mm] male flag connectors on both the fan and limit switches (Fig. 9). L4064T,W,Y has male push-in terminal for low voltage heater, which requires a 1/4 in. [4.6 mm] female flag connector.

For Standard Wire Push-in Terminals

Connect wires to the terminals as follows:

1. Use Nos. 14, 16, or 18 solid wire or Nos. 14 or 16 stranded wire, depending on electrical requirement.
2. Strip insulation from wires the distance shown by the strip gauge on the controller. If wire insulation is 4/64 in. [2 mm] thick, strip additional 1/4 in. [6 mm] to ensure wire seats securely in push-in connectors.
3. Solid wire may be inserted directly into the terminal holes. If stranded wire is used, insert a small screwdriver into the slot next to the terminal. Push screwdriver in and hold while inserting wire into terminal (Fig. 9). Remove screwdriver. If stranded wire is solder dipped, it can be pushed directly into terminal holes.

For Female Receptacles

It is recommended that the female receptacles be used for wiring accessory equipment; i.e., electronic air cleaner, humidifier, etc.).
Connect wires to the receptacles as follows:

1. Use Nos. 14 to 18 size wire, depending on electrical requirement.
2. Attach 1/4 in. [4.6 mm] male flag connector to each wire.
3. Push male flag connector directly into the female receptacle. Make sure that the flag is forced to the bottom of cavity and wire is in the channel (Fig. 9).

IMPORTANT
Make certain all wires are clear of rotating scaleplate.

SETTINGS AND ADJUSTMENT

CAUTION

When adjusting the fan and limit set point lever (Fig. 12), hold the scaleplate dial to keep it from turning and straining the sensing element.

IMPORTANT
The L4064T,W,Y use a bimetal heater, in the fan switch, to turn on the fan 20 to 90 seconds* after a call for heat. When the call for heat ends, the fan will continue to run until the fan-off temperature is reached and the bimetal heater switch cools down (2 to 4 minutes). If the L4064T,W or Y is used to replace an L4064A or B, the blower fan may circulate cool air until the plenum heats up. No adjustment of the fan-on time is possible.

Move each set point lever to the control point recommended by the burner or furnace manufacturer. Use gentle finger pressure.

Fan Setting Adjustment

1. Move the FAN OFF lever to the temperature at which the fan is to stop to prevent circulation of cool air.
2. Move the FAN ON lever as follows:
   L4064A-F – FAN ON range is from 15 F [8.3 C] above the FAN OFF setting to 35 F [19.4 C] below the LIMIT OFF setting.

L4064J,R – FAN ON range is from 20 F [11.1 C] above the FAN OFF setting to 45 F [24.9 C] below the LIMIT OFF setting.
L4064T,W,Y – Move the FAN ON lever as needed for setting the FAN OFF indicator and LIMIT indicator. The FAN ON indicator is nonfunctional on the L4064T; a special bimetal heater acts to turn on the fan 20 to 90 seconds* after a call for heat from the thermostat. On time will vary, depending on the voltage applied to the bimetal heater and on the temperature surrounding the fan switch.

With connected bimetal heater, fan-off settings will be determined according to Table 4 and 5. If not connected, then operation is the same as all other devices.

NOTES:
The “fan-off” lever is set at 120° F. (Lower setting will decrease fan off time, higher setting will increase fan off time.)
The bimetal heater is energized once for 15 minutes.
The fan will keep running until the bimetal timing mechanism (built-in) cools down to below 115° F and the L4064T,W,Y primary sensor temperature drops below the fan off set point. Table 5 represents bench test timings where the entire L4064 is at the indicated ambient temperature.

Manual Fan Switch (L40648,D,F,R,W)

For constant fan operation (overriding fan setting levers), push the FAN switch button in. For fan to cycle automatically, pull button out.

Limit Setting Adjustment

These controls have a limit stop which prevents the limit indicator lever from being adjusted beyond the equipment manufacturer’s specifications.

1. Push a stiff wire through hole in scaleplate to depress the stop disc not more than 1/16 in. [1.6 mm] to release stop lock (Fig. 12). Stop disc is on back of scaleplate.
   
   Fig. 12. CHANGING THE HIGH LIMIT STOP.
   

2. When depressing the stop disc, insert another stiff wire next to limit stop (Fig. 12) and use this wire to move stop to desired setting. If the L4064 is a replacement control, the high limit stop setting should be the same as that of the control being replaced. (Move stop clockwise to lower the setting, counterclockwise to raise it.) Then remove both wires.

3. Set the LIMIT OFF lever to the temperature at which the high limit switch is to open to stop the burner. If the high limit stop has been properly set, the LIMIT OFF lever should be as high as the stop permits.

OPERATION

L4064A-F,J,R – As the plenum temperature rises, the coiled, bimetal sensing element of the control warps and mechanically makes the fan contacts (at the FAN ON temperature setting). During normal operation, the call for heat ends before the LIMIT setting is reached and the fan contacts break as the plenum temperature falls and the FAN OFF setting is reached.

If the call for heat continues until the temperature in the plenum rises to the LIMIT setting, the bimetal element will mechanically break the limit contacts and de-energize the heating control circuit.

L4064T,W,Y – The operation of the L4064T,W,Y are the same except that the controller uses a bimetal heater in the fan switch to make the switch contacts independent of the bimetal sensing element. This heater acts to anticipate the rise in plenum temperature and turns on the fan 20 to 90 seconds* after the thermostat calls for heat. Actual on-time will vary, depending on the voltage applied to the bimetal heater and on the temperature surrounding the fan switch.

* The fan on timing can vary depending on applied voltage and switch ambient.

CHECKOUT

When installation is complete, disconnect the fan motor circuit at the L4064. Turn on power and set thermostat to call for heat. Burner should come on and limit controller should shut burner off when plenum temperature reaches the limit set point. Turn off power, reconnect the fan switch, turn on power and again set thermostat to call for heat. On L4064AF,J,R fan should start when plenum temperature has reached fan-on setting. On L4064T,W,Y, fan should start 20 to 90 seconds after a call for heat. Fan should shut off on all L4064 models (except L4064T,W,Y) when call for heat ends and plenum has cooled to fan-off setting. The L4064T,W,Y shut off the fan when the sensing element and the bimetal heater have cooled to the fan-off setting. This is usually 2 to 4 minutes after the call for heat ends.
