    Safety Considerations Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service, main- tenance, or use can cause explosion, fire, electrical shock, or other conditions which may cause death, personal injury or property damage. Consult a qualified installer, service agency or your distributor or branch for information or assist- ance.
  • Page 7: Introduction

    All communicating furnaces or fan coils are variable-speed and multi-stage for maximum flexibility, efficiency, and com- fort. They support controlled humidification, dehumidification, and air quality control. Either an Observer communicating, or a standard 24VAC controlled outdoor unit may be used. When using conventional, single-stage outdoor units, the...

  • Page 9: Quick Start

    Quick Start For first time installers, Quick Start will allow a quick start up of the Observer Control before learning all the details of ® system operation. However, for the best possible comfort and operation refer to the Owner’s Manual.

Un- der time, you can select the hour, minute, and am/pm; then use the ▲ and ▼ to select the appropriate time. You also have the option of selecting between a 12 HR or 24 HR clock format.
  • Page 11: Set Schedule For All Days

    DONE to save and exit the information that you have entered. Set Schedule for All Days The Observer Control gives you flexibility in how to create a ® comfort schedule. You can choose one schedule for all days; create a schedule for your work week and the weekend; or you can make every day different.

    Close to or in a frequently used room, preferably on an inside partitioning wall. On a section of wall without pipes or ductwork. The Observer Control and Room Sensors SHOULD NOT be mounted: Close to a window, on an outside wall, or next to a door lead- ing to the outside.
  • Page 16: Remote Room Sensors

    The remote sensor can be wired to the terminal block connectors labeled S1 and S2 at the control’s back-plate. The Observer Control will automatically detect the Remote Room Sensor and ig- nore its internal temperature sensor.
  • Page 17: Wiring Considerations

    ® NOTE: See the Observer Zone Panel Installation Instruc- tions for wiring of Observer Zoning systems. Ordinary thermostat wire is recommended. Use 22 AWG or larger for normal wiring applications. Continuous wire lengths over 25 ft. should use 18 AWG. Wire lengths over 100 ft are NOT recommended.
  • Page 18 9. Push any excess wire into the wall. Seal hole in wall to prevent any air leaks. Leaks can affect operation. 10. Attach Observer Control to the mounting plastic by lining up the plastic guides on the back of the control with the opening on the mounting plastic and push on.
  • Page 19: Shielded Wire

    Mount the assembly to the back-plate. NOTE: Once Observer Control is secured to wall with the back-plate assembly (snapped together), care must be taken not to bend or break the interlocking tabs when removing.
