units terminal block. · The range of set temperature of Wall thermostat must
be in consonance with the
range of DIP switch setting. · Wall thermostat must be set the type properly
in consonance with the unit type :
heat pump or no heat pump. · If the Wall thermostat has only one electrical
heater output, connect the two
terminals of HEAT 1 and HEAT 2, the unit can operate two electrical
heaters(only for the unit has two electrical heaters). Otherwise operate one
electrical heater. · Please do not remove the control panel. 4. FRONT DESK
CONTROL The controller can handle a switch signal from FC(L) and FC(N) input,
called front desk control. Input must be 24VAC. If system doesn’t receive a
24VAC signal, it will turn unit off; otherwise, the unit runs in normal
control. – The DIP switch can control the FRONT DESK CONTROL feature. The DIP
switch is on the DOWN position, the unit will be turn off; otherwise, the unit

10 Power connection options
Appropriate power cord accessory kit is determined by the voltage, and
amperage of the branch circuit. The unit does not come with a power cord (or
hard wire kit). An accessory power cord must be ordered to connect the unit to
the outlet. If the unit is to be hard wired, an accessory hard wire kit must
be ordered.
IMPORTANT: For 265V units, if a power cord is selected, it must plug into the
265V subbase accessory.
Cord-connected Units The 240V field supplied outlet must match the plug for
the standard 208/230V units and be within reach of the service cord. The
standard cord-connected 265V units require an accessory electrical subbase for
operation.
Power Cord Protection The power cord for 230/208v units provide power cord
fire protection. Unit power automatically disconnects when unsafe conditions
are detected. Power to the unit can be restored by pressing the reset button
on plug head. Upon completion of unit installation for 230/208V models, an
operational check should be performed using the TEST/RESET buttons on the plug
head.
NOTE: The 265V models do not incorporate this feature as they require use of
the electrical subbase accessory. Our sub base accessory is being developed
