(TXV), crankcase heater, hard start kit, and an outdoor thermostat and fan cycle switch. The fan cycle control is standard on all Marvair air conditioners and operates based upon the liquid line pressure. The outside thermostat opens whenever the outside temperature is below 50°F (10°C) and closes when the outside temperature is 50°F (10°C)
Cabinet Color and Material Marvair air conditioners are available in three different cabinet colors -the standard Marvair beige, white and gray. The standard cabinet’s sides, top and front panels are constructed of 20 gauge painted steel. As an option, these panels can be built of 16 gauge steel in beige & gray or .050 stucco aluminum. When the 16 gauge painted steel or the aluminum is used, only the side, top and front panels are 16 gauge or aluminum.
The sensor has eight set points. The factory setting is 58°F (14.5°C). These set points can be changed by moving the dip switches on the top of the dry bulb sensor. See Fig. 2. Marvair MAA/MGA Wall Mount AC Installation & Operation Manual 02/2021 Rev.13...

Power The Marvair PCB requires 24 VAC to operate. When the board is sufficiently powered, the “PWR” status light on the PCB illuminates “Green.” If there is insufficient power to the board, the “STATUS 1” and “STATUS 2” flashes continuously. Insufficient power to the board will result in no outputs being energized.

Communication The Marvair PCB comes equipped with MODBUS communication standard. There are 2 adjacent MODBUS communication ports connected in parallel. That is, both ports transmit the same information. The difference between the ports is the physical connection. One port is for RS-485 (3 wire shielded cable is recommended) and the other port is RJ-11.

Installation Materials Installation Kits Marvair air conditioners are shipped with one 12 Ga. "L" shaped bottom bracket. If you have not yet unpacked the unit, follow the instructions in section 2.1. All units have built-in full length mounting flanges. Therefore, use of mounting brackets is not required.
Attach the perimeter flange of the wall sleeve to the framed opening with appropriately sized screws. Since electric heat can be added after the unit has been installed, Marvair recommends that all installations have the 1” (25.4 mm) clearance around the wall sleeve.
(no fresh air). To provide fresh air, remove the two screws on either side of the hood and reposition as desired. Figure 11. Fresh Air Hood Damper, Models 1024-1072 Marvair MAA/MGA Wall Mount AC Installation & Operation Manual 02/2021 Rev.13...
For units with electric heat, a one inch clearance is required around the duct extensions.
