Use Manual J or Right-J or equivalent to calculate the
building heating and cooling loads at design conditions.
Select the system size (in tons) to meet the cooling load.
Add enough electric heat to meet the heating load. Use
data from the unit "Specification Sheet" to plot a graph of
system capacities and building load vs. outdoor tempera-
ture. Examine the graph and the table above. Set the
outdoor thermostat accordingly.
EXAMPLE: A home in Nashville, TN needs three tons of
cooling. Its heating load has been calculated as 40,600
BTUH at 14°F outdoor temperature.
As the graph shows, 9.6KW (EHK10B) must be added to
meet the heating load. As the chart above shows, the
EHK10B can be split, with 4.8KW from W2 and 4.8KW
through the outdoor thermostat to GY42. The "Unit +
4.8KW" will just meet the "Bldg. Load" at an outdoor
temperature of 20°F. It is usually desirable to provide a
small amount of extra capacity. Therefore, for this instal-
lation, the outdoor thermostat ATK05 should be set at
25°F.
This example is for purposes of illustration only. Actual
selection and application of equipment remains the sole
responsibility of the installer.
WARNING
To avoid personal injury, shock or death,
disconnect the electrical power before
electrically connecting any equipment
or changing any existing wiring.

If an outdoor thermostat, not controlling the first group of
electric heaters, is to be used:
1. Disconnect power.
2. Remove and save wire nut shown above.
3. Extend GY42 wire into the low voltage terminal area.
4. Connect the GY42 wire as shown on the wiring
schematic for your system.
5. Wire nut and tape the unused GY41 wire to prevent
shorts.
