Calibration Procedure On Vintage Air Gen IV systems using factory controls, it is necessary to calibrate the system to your specific control panel. This procedure ensures that the stroke of your control panel levers or knobs is translated into precise control of the fan speed, temperature blend and mode door position.
Control Panel www.vintageair.com Calibration Procedure (Cont.) 1. Turn on the ignition switch (Do not start the engine). 2. Move the control levers/knobs to the position shown. DASH 3. Connect the white jumper wire to the gray program wire. Wait for the blower speed to change (Approximately 5 seconds).
Operation of Controls www.vintageair.com On Gen IV systems with three lever/knob controls, the temperature control toggles between heat and A/C operations. To activate A/C, move the temperature lever/knob all the way to cold and then back it off to the desired vent temperature.
