Velocity (LV) Fan Coil Systems Combination Heating/Cooling Equipment Design, Installation and Maintenance Instructions AirMax Technologies Mini Ducted MaxAir(e) fan coil systems Important: Read and save these instructions. Install in accordance with CEC and NEC; All wiring shall conform to CEC, NEC, and local building and electrical codes.
Water heaters, boilers and air handlers can be purchased from a wholesale supplier, rented from your Gas Utility, or purchased from Airmax Technologies as part of a complete heating package. Benefits of the MaxAir(e)™ Low Velocity systems are: ...

ACCESSORIES AirMax can include a valve, at additional check valve cost, with each air handler for field installation. Check valves serve two purposes: protect against back-flow of water to Combo heating systems function poorly if the temperature drop through the air handler’s avoid short circuiting around the water coil is not maintained between 20-30°F (11-...

PSC MOTOR CONTROL BOARD Figure 1 - Connection Locations ELECTRICAL (MAXe UNITS) The DCC7235 is a microcontroller-based electronic volume controller for brushless dc motor-driven fan coils, furnaces or other systems. It commands discrete or variable blower speeds, torques or airflow in heating, cooling and ventilation modes from inputs provided from a discrete or proportional thermostat or controller whose switched 24VAC signal outputs activate a blower's air volume.
DCC7235 LAYOUT FIG 1 FIG 1 POWER: 24VAC (nominal) supplied by a Class II transformer between terminals "R" (“24VAC LINE”) and "C" (“24VAC RET”). The RED “POWER” LED illuminates when the control is powered. Transformer rating: 20VA minimum Voltage: 22.5Vac Minimum, 30Vac Maximum Current: <100ma (All outputs and relays active) NOTE: SUPPLY 24VAC POWER FROM THE SECONDARY OF AN NEC CLASS-2 TRANSFORMER ONLY.

1-stage Wiring: Single stage operation can still be achieved by wiring only W1 from the thermostat to W1 of the DCC7235 for LOW airflow, or W2 from the thermostat to W2 of the DCC7235 for HIGH airflow. W1 and W2 can also be connected (jumpered) for HIGH Airflow in 1-stage systems.
