17 Quick Start Guide for Communicating Out-
door Units
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: For all cooling calls, the sys-
tem only requires a single Y input from the thermostat. For
all heating calls (including applications with backup electric
heater kits), the system only requires a single W input from
the thermostat. Internal algorithms will control all available
cooling and heating stages based on these inputs. Any sin-
gle-stage 24VAC thermostat can be used. For proper oper-
ation, the thermostat must be setup to control a single stage
AC outdoor unit and to control single stage electric heat op-
eration. The control board does not accommodate an O wire
thermostat input (reversing valve signal). If a heat pump is
installed, the thermostat should be setup as stated above.
Setting the thermostat for the heat pump control or multi-
stage control may result in incorrect performance.
1. Connect all necessary thermostat wires to the thermo-
stat connector on the air handler control as instructed
by the applicable wiring diagrams shown in this section.
2. Connect the 1 & 2 wires between the indoor and outdoor
unit for communicating operation.

3. Download the CoolCloud HVAC phone application for
charging and to configure / test system.
4. Confirm thermostat heating and cooling calls function
properly with equipment.
NOTE: When new version of Bluetooth Communication
Software and Air Handler Control Software are available, the
phone application notifies the user. Software updates are
classified as either optional or mandatory and installed by
using the phone application. Install all mandatory software
updates and optional updates if necessary.
NOTE: If an E11 code exists for the inverter system imme-
diately after line voltage is applied (code shown in the Cool-
Cloud HVAC phone application or displayed on the inverter
control), the System Verification Test needs to be completed

before any other operation. See the following procedure.
1. Allow the system to remain Idle for 5 minutes.
2. Turn the system verification test on either by using
the phone application, or by entering the  menu
through the furnace push buttons.
3. Wait for the test to complete.

17.1 Charging

1. Inverter units using the CoolCloud HVAC phone applica-
tion or control board push button:
a. Inverter units are charged by setting the  menu
(Charge Mode) to ON through the furnace control
board push buttons or through the CoolCloud HVAC
phone application.
b. The system will remain in charge mode (high speed)
for 60 minutes before timing out.
c. The installer must manually shut off charge mode
once complete

18 Electric Heater Kit Testing

1. Select the electric heat icon after entering the air han-
dler menus while using the CoolCloud phone appli-
cation.
2. Select any value less than 50% for low stage oper-
ation and any value greater than 50% for high stage
operation.
3. Confirm thermostat heating and cooling calls function
properly for high stage operation.

19 Dehumidification

Dehumidification allows the air handler's circulator blower to
operate at a reduced speed during a combined thermostat
call for cooling and a dehumidification call from the ther-
mostat or humidistat. This lower blower speed increases
dehumidification of the conditioned air as it passes through
the indoor coil. The control board is equipped with a 24 volt
dehumidification input (DH) located on the thermostat wiring
connector. The terminal can be configured to enable dehu-
midification when the input is energized or de-energized.
When using an external dehumidistat, connect it between
the R and DH terminals. If the humidistat closes on hu-
midity rise or the thermostat energizes this terminal when
dehumidification is required, set the control board Dehum
Logic Menu (dHL) to "HI" using the push buttons or Cool-
Cloud HVAC phone application. If the humidistat opens on
humidity or the thermostat de-energizes this terminal when
dehumidification is required, set the Dehum Logic Menu to
"Lo" using the push buttons or CoolCloud HVAC phone ap-
plication.
