Verifying Freeze Switch Status

Dirty Filter Switch

These units are equipped with a differential pressure
switch to indicate when the filter(s) needs to be
replaced. The dirty filter switch measures the pressure
difference across the filter through silicone tubing
routed to the blower and vent areas of the unit.
The switch circuit consists of a normally open filter
pressure switch. The switch will open when the
pressure differential goes above the setting indicated
on the dial. When the pressure difference returns below
the setting on the dial, the switch will close.
Adjustment of dirty filter switch may be necessary to
ensure proper operation. See Table 2.2 to aid in setting
the filter switch to operate at different percentages of
filter blockage.

Filter Indicator Light

These units are equipped with a 24v indicator light
mounted on side of unit that displays the current status
of the filter. When the light is on, the filter needs to
be replaced. Once the filter(s) has been changed, the
indicator light will turn off.

Indoor Airflow Operation

Blower Speed Control

The blower is capable of changing speeds to best
match the requirements of the system depending on
which mode the system is in (see Table 2.1).

All units tested equipped with MERV 8 filters. Appropriate supply (SG) and return (RG) grilles installed during testing. Pressure
switch adjustment may be necessary due to variations in filter type, installation and room pressure.
Bard recommends the filter switch be set at 50% filter blockage or less. Higher settings may significantly hinder unit
performance.
The unit will automatically switch to the required
speed for each mode. High sensible mode and
dehumidification mode are both communicated
separately from the LV. For more information on the
high sensible command from LV, please see the LV
manual.

Indoor Airflow Alarms

Blower Status Alarm

If the blower is commanded on and the fan status
switch (differential pressure) has not indicated the fan
is running within 45 seconds, the system will generate
an alarm.
This alarm is just a notification and will clear itself
when the conditions are no longer present.
