Step 9 — Low Voltage Wiring
THERMOSTAT CONNECTIONS — The thermostat should
be wired directly to the Aquazone™ control board. See
Fig. 8A-11.
WATER FREEZE PROTECTION — The Aquazone control
allows the field selection of source fluid freeze protection
points through jumpers. The factory setting of jumper JW3
(FP1) is set for water at 30 F. In earth loop applications, jumper
JW3 should be clipped to change the setting to 13 F when
using antifreeze in colder earth loop applications. See Fig. 12.
AIR COIL FREEZE PROTECTION — The air coil freeze
protection jumper JW2 (FP2) is factory set for 30 F and should
not need adjusting.
ACCESSORY CONNECTIONS — Terminal labeled A on
the control is provided to control accessory devices such as
water valves, electronic air cleaners, humidifiers, etc. This sig-
nal operates with the compressor terminal. See Fig. 13. Refer
to the specific unit wiring schematic for details.
NOTE: The A terminal should only be used with 24 volt
signals — not line voltage signals.
WATER SOLENOID VALVES — Water solenoid valves may
be used on variable flow systems and ground water installa-
tions. A typical well water control valve wiring which can
limit waste water in a lockout condition is shown in Fig. 13. A
slow closing valve may be required to prevent water hammer.
When using a slow closing valve, special wiring conditions
need to be considered. The valve takes approximately 60 sec-
onds to open (very little water will flow before 45 seconds) and
it activates the compressor only after the valve is completely
opened by closing its end switch. When wired as shown, the
valve will have the following operating characteristics:
1. Remain open during a lockout.
2. Draw approximately 25 to 35 VA through the "Y" signal
of the thermostat.
IMPORTANT: This can overheat the anticipators of
electromechanical thermostats. Only use relay based
electronic thermostats.

PRE-START-UP

System Checkout —
When the installation is complete,
follow the System Checkout procedure outlined below before
starting up the system. Be sure:
1. Voltage is within the utilization range specifications of the
unit compressor and fan motor and voltage is balanced
for 3 phase units.
2. Fuses, breakers and wire are correct size.
3. Low voltage wiring is complete.
4. Piping and system flushing is complete.
5. Air is purged from closed loop system.
6. System is balanced as required. Monitor if necessary.
7. Isolation valves are open.
8. Water control valves or loop pumps are wired.
9. Condensate line is open and correctly pitched.
10. Transformer switched to lower voltage tap if necessary.
11. Blower rotates freely — shipping support is removed.
12. Blower speed is on correct setting.
13. Air filter is clean and in position.
14. Service/access panels are in place.
15. Return air temperature is 40 to 80 F for heating and 50 to
110 F for cooling.
16. Air coil is clean.
17. Control field selected settings are correct.
AIR COIL — To obtain maximum performance, the air coil
should be cleaned before starting the unit. A ten percent solu-
tion of dishwasher detergent and water is recommended for
both sides of the coil. Rinse thoroughly with water.

FIELD SELECTABLE INPUTS

Jumpers and DIP (dual in-line package) switches on the
control board are used to customize unit operation and can be
configured in the field.
IMPORTANT: Jumpers and DIP switches should only be
clipped when power to control board has been turned off.
C Control Jumper Settings (See Fig. 8A, 9A,
and 10A)
WATER COIL FREEZE PROTECTION (FP1) LIMIT
SETTING — Select jumper 3, (JW3-FP1 Low Temp) to
choose FP1 limit of 10 F or 30 F. To select 30 F as the limit,
DO NOT clip the jumper. To select 10 F as the limit, clip the
jumper.
AIR COIL FREEZE PROTECTION (FP2) LIMIT SET-
TING — Select jumper 2 (JW2-FP2 Low Temp) to choose
FP2 limit of 10 F or 30 F. To select 30 F as the limit, DO NOT
clip the jumper. To select 10 F as the limit, clip the jumper.
ALARM RELAY SETTING — Select jumper 1 (JW1-AL2
Dry) for connecting alarm relay terminal (AL2) to 24 vac (R) or
to remain as a dry contact (no connection). To connect AL2 to
R, do not clip the jumper. To set as dry contact, clip the jumper.
C Control DIP Switches —
switch block with five switches. See Fig. 8A, 9A, and 10A.
PERFORMANCE MONITOR (PM) — DIP switch 1 will
enable or disable this feature. To enable the PM, set the switch
to ON. To disable the PM, set the switch to OFF.
STAGE 2 — DIP switch 2 will enable or disable compressor
delay. Set DIP switch to OFF for stage 2 in which the compres-
sor will have a 3-second delay before energizing.
NOTE: The alarm relay will not cycle during Test mode if
switch is set to OFF, stage 2.
DIP SWITCH 3 — not used.
DIP SWITCH 4 — not used.
DIP SWITCH 5 — DIP switch 5 is used to initiate 1 or 3 tries
for the FP1 fault. If water freeze protection for the water coil
then DIP switch 5 can be set to lockout on the FP1 fault after
one try.
D Control Jumper Settings (See Fig. 8B, 9B,
and 10B)
WATER COIL FREEZE PROTECTION (FP1) LIMIT
SETTING — Select jumper 3, (JW3-FP1 Low Temp) to
choose FP1 limit of 10 F or 30 F. To select 30 F as the limit,
DO NOT clip the jumper. To select 10 F as the limit, clip the
jumper.
AIR COIL FREEZE PROTECTION (FP2) LIMIT SET-
TING — Select jumper 2 (JW2-FP2 Low Temp) to choose
FP2 limit of 10 F or 30 F. To select 30 F as the limit, DO NOT
clip the jumper. To select 10 F as the limit, clip the jumper.
ALARM RELAY SETTING — Select jumper 4 (JW4-AL2
Dry) for connecting alarm relay terminal (AL2) to 24 vac (R) or
to remain as a dry contact (no connection). To connect AL2 to
R, do not clip the jumper. To set as dry contact, clip the jumper.
LOW PRESSURE SETTING — The D Control can be con-
figured for Low Pressure Setting (LP). Select jumper 1 (JW1-
LP Norm Open) for choosing between low pressure input nor-
mally opened or closed. To configure for normally closed oper-
ation, do not clip the jumper. To configure for normally open
operation, clip the jumper.
